Hi all,

We were watching a program called "Caravan Sights" on Men & Motors last night [Feb 6th] at 20:30.

There were two really nice looking sites mentioned on the program. One was River Dart Adventure Park but the other one we missed the name due to noisy kids.

Think it was called "Dawn Fields" but despite searching we cannot find it. Did anyone else see the program and can you recall the name? It was set in the grounds of a large country house, we think in Cornwall.

Failing that does someone know how I can access details of the program?

Thanks,

Landman

I just found the programme by chance last night, iam sure that Lollipop was right and the site was called Dornafield, its actually a CC associated site with details on page 106 of the CC Sites directory. The interview with the German family was interesting,This edition was obviously filmed last season,Still think i prefer the Caravan Channel programme.

Thanks all!

I think that it was Dornafields, but the site does not do it many favours.

I had a looksie at all the reviews and now i'm torn between this one and Ross Park! I was going to book Ross park monday but i've emailed this one too now enquiring. Ross Park worked out about £30 cheaper for 3 nights on the 3rd Apr cuz they don't class it as mid season until the 8th i think where as Dornafields mid season prices start the end of march. Arghh decisions! decisions! which one would you all pick?

hello its years ago since we stayed at the beautiful dornafield, it was imaculate.

but a long way from any where it would probably suit me now but when the boys were younger we had to use the car a lot to go any where. and they didnt like that.

hope this helps.

We've already booked Ross park and saw the programme last night and now wonder if we've made the right choice! They both look great but on Google Earth Dornafield looks further from the road which seems better. We're going to have a look around it while we're there for future hols.
