Just wondering if there’s a limit on when you can arrive for check in prior to boarding Brittany Ferries at Plymouth. It clearly states at least 60 mins before, but does it matter if you are there, say, an hour or so earlier? I ask because for Santander (for the return journey) website clearly gives details of early arrivals and parking conditions, but cannot find similar for the Plymouth end.
thanks

It would have been nice to read the thread and reconsider our actions when we visit Europe in the near future, BUT a message informs that the thread is unavailable due to a server error.
I wonder where we can get clear advice? Perhaps we could join a membership fee paying club? Is it me?
Could anyone post a copy of the letter from EU which was posted 6th April?

Euror. No you can't, we're not in the EU now and we have to abide by the regulations formulated between ourselves and the EU which does not allow us to take in certain products to the EU. The articles referred to concern travel within the EU not travel to the EU.

Really no need to worry about parking at Plymouth Millbay. Always plenty of room , just roll up to the check-in ranks, park at the back and wait. They usually open 2 hours beforehand. Nice little restaurant in the Marina 5 minutes walk away on the quayside. If you sit on the terrace you can keep an eye on your unit. Otherwise plenty of take-aways on Union Street, 10 minutes walk away.

Hi Ian, We too travel from Plymouth and are booked on an overnight . Pont Aven, crossing in June.
The BF ticket says boarding starts at 1800, for a 2000 crossing, however, like others we have arrived much earlier, parked in the lanes and enjoyed a meal at The Dock retaurant.
We prefer to dine on board but use The Dock often anyway and have even seen people parked up in the early evening for a next day crossing.
