Bought Swifty our Swift Lifestyle in May and used it a lot - put about 5,000 miles on so far and jolly good fun too - best thing I ever bought apart from a marriage licence rolleyes

So we're looking for somewhere to go for New Year, sort of from 28 Dec to 2/3 Jan. Ideally somewhere with something going on, say a New year dinner dance or entertainment of some sort. Adults only would be ideal since SWMBO is a teacher and spends all year with the little darlings. laugh

Not fussy where, even been looking at Paris or Brussels, but one of our KC Cavalier's hasn't been rabies jabbed yet so probably too late for Xchannel. We're near Cambridge so would prefer to stay UK, Midlands downwards.

Any ideas chaps and chapesses?

For the past couple of years we have taken the van down to Cofton Meadows in Devon - might be a bit far for you though I guess but its worth the hike.

Amazing indoor complex, one of the nicest swimming pools on a campsite we've found. Good bar/resturant, lovely walks, couple of pubs (one better than the other) a short safe walk away, and Dawlish itself isnt too bad.

Not planning on going this year though and already questioning that decision.

Thanks for that Curly, gave them a call and they're fully booked for New Year and have no space at all. So you're rethinking it, has blown back at you, you won't get in matey. cry

But thanks anyway

Wow - two years ago we nearly had the place to ourselves but last year they actually openned the main hall up for a NYE party (Which we didnt go to as we had a van party) so I guess more people are aware of it now.

Spent most of the day trying to find something and tried "thinking outside the box", as the saying goes.

Had a look at going to a Warners hotel with a view to a relative actually staying there and we park Swifty in their car park and just walk in to the evening do. Warners say no deal, but you never know?? So of their twelve parks, nine are completely sold out and for the three that have rooms available it comes out at £1272 for three nights. And that'd be for just ONE person, they don't give a discount for single occupancy.

So come on chaps, you've gotta help us find a decent motorhome park

Best (only)m option I can find so far is Uttoxeter racecourse but it's a bit DIY in that they haven't got any organised entertainment, just karaoke and whatever you want to do.

Someone must know a decent place for NY?
