dont want to sound really stupid but when they have restrictions on the size of the tent do the go by the width or the length or both?

as my tent is 7 meters x 7.4 meters

Sorry im not sure either, good question

Can be both.  Sometimes they state a maximum width and length.

Usually width, because they're fixated about tents "facing the road".

We were in Perthshire the other week, and EVERY tent MUST face the ROAD, and EVERY doorway MUST be aligned with the white brick embedded in the grass. 

The white bricks were reasonably spaced though.

not sure either but when we booked at lakeland website stated under or over 21ft

when we got there nobody asked or checked the size of our tent we were just told pitch anywhere but i could see old lines in grass like for marking out football fields

i guess its just down to individual sites

Er, that site....wasn't owned by an anal retentive woman with a fondness for hats, candlelight suppers with a poor downtrodden husband going by the name of Richard perhcance?

Blimey times must be hard since Richard retired. Wonder if she'll let Daisy and Onslow camp out?

Ive got quite alot of brochures and read through them alot of them dont state the pitch size but when ive contacted them they have said our tent is too big (same tent as yours)

If they dont state this on there brochure surely they cant turn you away when you arrive?
