Not a lot going on (guess you could head to Newcastle for a day trip), but the accommodation is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamb0_1874 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I stayed here for a few days at the end of November. They had a few power issues during the stay as they are still installing some of the units. But the accomodation was really good and sitting on the border of a dark sky zone makes the night hot tub dips really nice. https://www.landal.co.uk/parks/barnsoul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pans Jambo Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I wouldn't go to Spain again ever if I could get a holiday for the same price here. But no, treasure island has to charge us the same rates as the Japanese and Yank tourists! The UK is shite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
