We arrived on 29th Dec in a temperature of -3 deg C and having been rear-ended by a lorry on the M6 2 hours into the 5.5 Hour journey. This was our 3rd visit here, note that we first visited on the opening day and received a glass of champagne and a slice or two of cake. This visit we were welcomed by Mike & Fran who also invited all visitors on New Years Eve to reception for a glass of wine and a mince pie. Whilst Mike & Fran are only there until March I must say they were friendly accommodating, and helpful. The site is ideal as a stop over on your way north or south, but is also good for visiting Glasgow(where I was born) and Edinburgh. We can fully recommend this site to all, and there are excellent dog walks in the country park.
