Thanks everyone,

I definitely feel like I have the confidence to go again, Kiera was so well behaved and luckily she doesn't mind lots of walking! The site had everything I needed, even a takeaway! So I really didn't need to worry about not having a car after all!

It was also my first time in my new tent, and I'm pleased to say it went really well (just submitted a review) it stood up to the weather brilliantly. It was very homey, but not quite homey enough... needs a better light, something warm, not clinical white like the one I've got! Loved the amount of space we had too, but if I'm honest, I'd need to get something I can put up myself if we were going to go alone!

Eileenhoops, I went to Holmesley loads as a kid and this was my third time as an adult and this was the first time I'd found the stream! It was because of a site review on here I knew there was one to find! It's in the wooded area behind the playground, between two of the washblocks. It's only a trickle on the site, but if you follow it off the site it gets wider and deeper, it made a nice afternoon walk!

 I got a lift to and from the site luckily enough, otherwise I really don't know how I would have managed!!

I didn't want one of the 'blue' led lights - thought it would make the tent too light when our 1 year old was asleep, so i went to a little hardware store we have locally and bought a clip on light, and just popped a really low watt energy saving bulb in it. it just looks like the inner bit of a lamp with a white plastic clip, and a hole for hanging it up - gives a lovely 'yellow' soft light, and was £3.45!

we can't really go again until next year either, but i think i shall be booking ssoon, and will take advantage of any warm spring weekends :)

my 5 year old loved camping too! i might just take the tent out in the garden one night before she goes back to school, and Amy and daddy can stay indoors. xx
