Were off to Chatsworth House tomorrow. Booking in for 2 nights.

Anyone else going away tomorrow or are already away? Wondering where others will be sleeping the same night.

We were at Chatsworth for 2 nights last week - nice site in very nice surroundings. Now back at our winter base in SW Scotland.

Thats good to hear. Did you walk to the house? if so how long did it take?
I asked google maps but it took what looks to be a daft route right back to the main road and in again which is about X6 the distance it should be if you can nip from the site straight to the house.

There's a gate at the back of the site which you can use to get into Chatsworth grounds and then potter over to the house, it's a long time since we've been but from memory I think it takes 10-15 mins.

Yes, as Minxy says, it's only about 15 minutes to the house - there's a secret door in the wall of the site, to which you will be given a key.

We done Chatsworth last year, lovely site and friendly wardens. Pub we went to in the village was dog friendly as well which was brilliant for us, meant pooch (Bear) could finish my steak off !
Loved the "secret" door to the grounds.

Enjoy.

Mark & Anne.

Always loved Chatsworth. Good for the dog though s/he needs to be kept on a lead because of the sheep

Lovely walk from back gate to house( coffee shop and shop!) house is done up like Alice in wonderland this year I think.( probably not suitable for baby Hannah yet!!) gardens are lovely but pay extra to get in. There is a discount if you take your receipt from the campsite!!
What happened to seaside trip idea?
We do like these local sites as often get a cancellation and only 25 minutes away!
Going to be mild tomorrow !! Weather wise!!
Enjoy so glad you are using your van so often!:xgrin:

Me too.

Whats making it in my mind is we recently moved house (again) and I have a very stressful job and I never ever stop. I have a million jobs to do (house wise) and lots of hobbies and interests and I literally don't stop until I pass out at night.

The Motorhome makes me slow down and locks us together as a little family to just enjoy each others company. I love that.

Bit late for some but don't forget to allow extra time as the House is in Festive mode :xThumb: and will be very busy plus Christmas Market :pop:
We are down near Oakham.

Checked in at Chatsworth. Tried the oven out tonight with a Lasaga I made this morning.

Yummy yummy yummy.

Really nice facilities and we're backing on to the House which is all lit up and looks great. Off there for lunch tomorrow.

To be continued..................
