We’re pleased you liked our pitch Dave & Helen and thanks for the shout. 👍👍. A top site and you get what you pay for here. Glad you enjoyed your birthday celebrations whilst away and have to say all your food looked delicious. Congrats on your subs too , awesome ! Happy birthday 🥳 and best wishes to you both, Rob & Gail 😀
Hello Rob & Gail, oh we certainly did thanks. EKL did it for us, the pitches were great and the facilities top drawer. Thanks for your birthday wishes. ATB, Helen & Dave 👍
Thank you for rescuing Bella, we were in rescue but retired now. The farm shop looks fab. It sounds really nice where you are, take care both and kisses for Bella 🥰 xxx
Ah thanks Maureen. She’s a lovely little dog, never any trouble and absolutely loves us. The farm shop was very good. Thanks for watching, stay tuned! Helen & Dave 👍
Glad you enjoyed your visit to Eye Kettleby, we were also on the Northern site on 10th May pitch 36, we must admit we also like the Southern site better as think you get better views and the facilities on that site are amazing. Not eaten at the farm shop but have walked to it. Another nice video thank you
Hi Patricia, hope you enjoyed your stay too. We were very impressed, really well kept site and very well run. Farm shop was great and so was the pub 🍺🍺 Take care 😊 Helen & Dave
Rutland water is beautiful isn't it. We didn't get to go this time but have been a few times in the past. Amazing. Thanks again for watching. ATB, Helen & Dave
Lovely vlog and Eye Kettleby is one of our favourite sites we stayed many times last year when I had a broken foot as having the bar and tea room on site is just great. The facilities are always immaculate.
Hi Benita, sorry to hear you had a broken foot but you’re right, having those amazing facilities on site makes it extra special. Thanks for watching. Helen & Dave
Morning Paul & Jo, that game isn’t that easy, Helen just got lucky 😂😂. Great site at EKL and we hope you enjoy your forthcoming stay. All the best, Helen & Dave
Hi Dave & Helen, lovely to have met you both at EKL and slightly weird hearing the shout out when watching the vlog! Keep up the great work - have you been to Concierge Camping, worth a visit? Best wishes Andrew & Dawn
Hi Andrew & Dawn, lovely to meet you both too. Yes, been to Concierge, fantastic place, we loved it so much, we’re back there in a few weeks. Deffo worth a visit, but pricey but it’s quite special. Best wishes to you both. Helen & Dave 👍
Wow that site looks amazing. Really top of the range. So clean and well kept. What happened to the pork pie?? Was looking forward to seeing you munch into one. 🥧😋
Hi Lesley, I did manage to force a pork pie down but the famous Pork Pie shop was under renovation and they had a pop up shop around the back so didn’t bother filming. Tasty though and a great site 👍😊
A bit late but just want to say another great video... we were planning to go to EKL this year and this has made us look forward to it even more... recognised A Bed By The Sea which I first heard in one of your previous videos, a lovely piece of music that surely could not fail to relax anyone... cheers Dave and Jane 🫡
Hi Dave & Jane, thanks so much. It's a lovely relaxing piece of music, must agree. if you enjoy EKL half as much as we did then you will have a fantastic time. Take care and thanks as always. Helen & Dave
Hi Steven, wrong choice of words. What Helen really meant was they weren’t on the menu 😂. Great birthday thanks and a lovely stay. Cheers, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi dave and Helen great vlog as usual beautiful site saying about Bella with the caravan our molly loved the van but she the same now any noise the caravan makes especially the smoke alarm she trembles must be as they get older take care x
Hi John & Tina, Thanks as always. Yeah that’s strange, she’s the same at home, any alarms etc and she goes hiding behind the couch. Best wishes, Helen & Dave 👍
Hello Helen&Dave Happy Birthday Dave loved the site tour also loved the video like theme all loved the site that much I have just booked so once again thanks for that Paul
Fab video - if you haven't been to Old Oaks nr Glastonbury you should - it's fantastic - we went last month and loved it. Off to Back of Beyond for the first week in June, and then 2 weeks nr you ( Deers Mead) end of July and 1st week of August to if you are around be good to say hi. Give Bella a hug from us and take care both Steve n Jeanette
Hi Steve & Jeanette, thanks loved this site and thanks for the Old Oaks recommendation, this has been referenced a lot, we need to get there. Hope you have a great time on your trips and if we are in the vicinity then deffo be good to say hello 👍 Cheers, Helen & Dave
Happy belated Birthday Dave, hope you are both well. Off topic, but would you still recommend the SAT Nav? Built in VW unit has shown us a couple of roads I never want to see again! 😪
Cheers Caz & Squash, had a great birthday thanks 🍺🍺 never use your car Sat nav when towing your caravan. This is why we like our plug in Sat nav. It allows us to input the length, width and height of your total outfit and it’s never taken us down a bad road. Look out for a caravan or truck Sat nav, not dear and will keep you out of trouble 👍👍
Oh, must put this on our list! We've just arrived at Pinewoods on your recommendation...from Inverness!!(Stopped at south meadows overnight - beautiful) Just pulled up and hopefully get a nice spot. Thanks for another great video guys 🎉
Well done Helen and Dave a brilliant video as ever what an amazing park probably one of the biggest touring parks I’ve seen it looks so well maintained and lots of facilities love Rutland and then melton and I’m with Dave you can’t go without getting a pork pie! Glad you had a great time all of you and Dave a great birthday all the best Daniel
Guess you are on the seafood diet now, Dave. As ever, great video, yet another site that has been on our wish list for a few years now, just need to put together a trip to include it at some point. Hope you are both well, great to see Bella in the starring role, just as it should be.
Cheers Mel, well we are at home in Caister and as you know the weather is gorgeous so I've just polished off a burger and a rack of ribs, washed down with aGhost Ship. The diet starts tomorrow and the cheque is in the post lol. Great site, well worth a visit! Best wishes to you both. Helen & Dave
What a lovely park, absolutely immaculate, I really like the bar/restaurant area, so tastefully done, beautiful area of the UK, as always thanks for sharing ❤️👍
Glad you liked eyekettle we love it there we are going in July can you take your dog into the farm shop we didn’t know it was there 😂hope you had a good birthday
Hi Colin, loved it!! You can’t take dogs inside the farm shop but there is an outside seating area where they can go. Great shop, pricey but top drawer! Cheers Helen and Dave 👍
What a lovely site. Great to see the solar panels not taking up field space. Not sure about going from viewing the amazing beef straight to the cows in the field - vegetarians beware 🤣. What a great way to celebrate your birthday, good luck with the diet with all that amazing food. Hubby definitely wants to try that breakfast.
Hi Sandra, thanks as always. Great birthday getaway and the place was immaculate. Hadn’t considered the cow/beef in the edit 🫢. The brekkie was good and so was the pub meal. Take care, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi Helen and Dave, Congratulations on 10K Subscribers x we thought you would like it there. Glad the weather was good for you. The farm shop looked a nice visit. The meals you had looked yum, perfect for your Birthday, good look with the diet he he, a great review and nice to see Chubby, take care hugs to both of you and Bella such a cuddle bum x Julie and Tony x
Hi Julie & Tony, it was everything you said it was. The weather was kind and the food at The Farm Shop & Royal Oak amazing. As for the Fish & Chips…. Fantastic! Enjoy your visit. Helen & Dave 👍
Hi Alison & Keith, not surprised to hear you’re off again Monday 😂 you’re away more than we are. Great site this one, highly recommend it. Safe travels, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi Dave and Helen, belated birthday wishes Dave, looks like you had a great day . I've decided to go for the Baily Unicorn Cadiz van, and add on a mover and WiFi antenna . All the best and safe travels. Neil PS looks like a great site
Congratulations on your 10k subscribers and Happy Birthday Dave 🎂, I’ve put about 5lb on just watching this video, flaming good ghost story 🕯️, thanks again for sharing take care Helen and Dave and Bella 🐾👍.
Nice breakfast. The Cafe a Newtonmore does a great breakfast, but stay off the Mega it is erm Mega LOL I had one and did not eat until the afternoon of the next day.
We are at Castleton in the Peak District, at the Cand M club site now, coming home tomorrow. Warm weather, no rain, beautiful countryside which ever direction you take, streams, caves, mountains, attractions a castle and pubs - beautiful. What more could you want ?
Spot on Steve! This is a site we have had an eye on for a while, heard great things. Glad you've had a good stay and we hope you have a safe journey home. Thanks as always, Helen & Dave
Hi Julie, you've summed it up nicely, awesome! We noticed they have some great entertainment planned throughout the year too. Thanks for watching. Helen & Dave
Brilliant place and it looked like you had a fab time on your birthday Dave and Helen. That pub game would have lasted all of ten seconds before I got bored with it :D An interesting fact is the owner's daughter is Claire Lomas: (Claire Lomas MBE is a British campaigner, fundraiser, motivational speaker and former event rider. She became a paraplegic as a result of a riding accident in 2007. In 2012, she finished the 32nd Virgin London Marathon in 17 days using the ReWalk robotic suit.) ....an incredible woman of immense courage. They may have other daughters, don't know :)
Wow! Didn’t know that. Well done to her. Full of admiration of people who despite their own health issues are still prepared to push the boundaries to help others. It really was a fab stay. Best wishes to you and thanks as always. Helen & Dave 👍
Lovely vlog.. I have been here twice was lovely and friendly .. would be even better if it was by the sea.. but that’s just me 😀. Glad you had a good time a great bday 🎉
Happy birthday Dave great video again lovely park and I’m with you I stopped at melton Mowbray for a pork pie as well😂 I’m off to the willow’s mildenhall next week looking forward to it Cheers martin
Hi Martin, gotta love a pork pie. Hope you get plenty of action at Mildenhall. We were there in early April but the weather was poor and not much flying. Have a good one, Helen & Dave 🫢
Hi Wilf, thanks for watching. Loved this site. The towing cover is made and supplied by Specialised Covers. Expensive but very good 👍 Cheers, Helen & Dave
Evening Helen and Dave. Well that does look a great site, pitches looked spacious and very neat. You certainly weren't kidding when you said you ate too much😅, it did look like amazing food, though 😋. We think we have said it before, but our favourite site is Hawes its fantastic friendly club site, maybe you could plan a Yorkshire tour 😀. Hebden Bridge is another lovely small site. As always, take care and enjoy your upcoming trips 😊. Paul and Joanne 😁 ❤️
Hi Paul & Joanne, thanks as always. We really did like this one! There are some fab places to go in the caravan, we haven’t been to Hawes but when we next visit Yorkshire we will look into it. Can’t beat a recommendation 👍 The food was yummy! Hope you’re both keeping well. Helen & Dave 👍
@HelenandDave Hi, thanks for the lovely reply We are due to go to hawes on Sunday, typical the weather is a changing 😢 Ah well, doesn't rain in the pub or the van 😉 P and J ❤️
Hi guys, absolutely loved it and appreciate the recommendations. The whole place was amazing, really well looked after. Didn’t film the south close but could see how nice it was too. Cheers, Helen & Dave 👍
Happy birthday Dave, 🎉🥂 I have heard a lot about this site but haven’t been yet. It was great to see your video so we now know what it’s like. Love your videos. Hope Helen is ok x
Thanks Allison, no hesitation in recommending EKL. Wonderful site! Thanks for watching the channel, Helen is having lots of treatment atm but she puts on a very brave face (most of the time) take care, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi helen and dave, hope you had a great birthday, just watched your vlog, we are going to EKL start of june heard good things but your vlog got me even more excited, the food looks amazing, cant wait for fush and chips and will deffo walk down to the farm shop 😁 hoping your going to put a vlog on of melton mowbray, i love pork pie,my fave food lol. Hope helens doing ok, see you soon xx
Hi Julie, as you can tell, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We did go to Melton Mowbray to film Ye olde pork pie shop but it was boarded up for refurbishment and they had a pop up shop around the back. Got a pork pie though and it was lovely. Pretty sure you’ll enjoy it at EKL. Take care, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. It’s a tough one to answer because there are so many variables. It depends on time of year, which site, full service or standard pitch? Sometimes depending on site you may pay extra for awnings, dogs etc and some sites include all of this in the price. Pitches vary on average between £25 and £50 a night. Best thing is to checkout individual sites own websites for pricing info and what’s included. Best wishes, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi Adrian, we have both and to be honest we prefer to use the sun canopy with sides and 95% of the time that’s what we use. Really don’t like the porch awning at all. Our main awning is a heavy duty Kampa Rallye 390 air and it’s brill but very heavy.
@@HelenandDave Thanks much appreciated when we left caravaning in 2012 we had a full Isabella ambassador which took hours to put up and caused lots of arguments, we returned this March with a new VIP 575 which we love but need something to dry off the dogs when it’s raining and the sun off in those odd days when it’s sunny and warm. We have looked at the Magnum 340/400, Eclipse Sun canopy but if it’s not quick and easy to put up it simply will not get used.
Hi Pauline, no I don’t because you don’t need to. We don’t go pushing the camera in peoples faces but inevitably when in public places we catch people in the video. Cheers, Dave
Well life is all about choices, you can get cheaper but you won't get facilities like this., we are away most weeks and we know what you get for your money. We have also paid more for a lot less even on CAMC sites. Cheers, Helen & Dave
Massive thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday and to all of the lovely people we met whilst we were there. Love you all.
You old git! get on a diet lol
Many thanks for another great video. Very useful for our holiday planning. A very belated happy birthday.

@@HelenandDave I will be keeping my fingers crossed she starts to feel better soon x

Hi helen and dave, hope you had a great birthday, just watched your vlog, we are going to EKL start of june heard good things but your vlog got me even more excited, the food looks amazing, cant wait for fush and chips and will deffo walk down to the farm shop 😁 hoping your going to put a vlog on of melton mowbray, i love pork pie,my fave food lol.
Hope helens doing ok, see you soon xx
Hi Julie, as you can tell, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We did go to Melton Mowbray to film Ye olde pork pie shop but it was boarded up for refurbishment and they had a pop up shop around the back. Got a pork pie though and it was lovely. Pretty sure you’ll enjoy it at EKL. Take care, Helen & Dave 👍
As Dave mentions, I was on the next pitch… what a fantastic 5* Adults only site! Will definitely be back!!
Same, it's too good not to return. Happy travels, Helen & Dave
Belated birthday wishes

We are seriously considering a caravan, what is the cost of the weekly stay?
Hi, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. It’s a tough one to answer because there are so many variables. It depends on time of year, which site, full service or standard pitch? Sometimes depending on site you may pay extra for awnings, dogs etc and some sites include all of this in the price. Pitches vary on average between £25 and £50 a night. Best thing is to checkout individual sites own websites for pricing info and what’s included. Best wishes, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi Sun canopy with sides or porch awning we cannot decide, we have 3 small dogs any advice?
Hi Adrian, we have both and to be honest we prefer to use the sun canopy with sides and 95% of the time that’s what we use. Really don’t like the porch awning at all. Our main awning is a heavy duty Kampa Rallye 390 air and it’s brill but very heavy.
@@HelenandDave Thanks much appreciated when we left caravaning in 2012 we had a full Isabella ambassador which took hours to put up and caused lots of arguments, we returned this March with a new VIP 575 which we love but need something to dry off the dogs when it’s raining and the sun off in those odd days when it’s sunny and warm. We have looked at the Magnum 340/400, Eclipse Sun canopy but if it’s not quick and easy to put up it simply will not get used.
@@adrianjones5678 I can get the sun canopy up in 5 to 10 minutes. It’s another reason why I like it so much 👍
Dave when you video in a public place do you ask people before you fillm
Hi Pauline, no I don’t because you don’t need to. We don’t go pushing the camera in peoples faces but inevitably when in public places we catch people in the video. Cheers, Dave
I think £47 per night is outrageous
Well life is all about choices, you can get cheaper but you won't get facilities like this., we are away most weeks and we know what you get for your money. We have also paid more for a lot less even on CAMC sites. Cheers, Helen & Dave
Thank you Helen and Dave for this review 👍
You’re welcome Gaetan and thanks as always for your support 👍
