I'd be grateful for up to date info regarding how early you can check into the brittany ferry port.
In the past it was open from 9am for an afternoon ferry - you could then access via a turnstile with your cabin ticket and go eat/visit in town - there's a great fish restaurant in the port.
Recent e-mail to BF suggest only 3 hours now allowed.
Any update? I have 2 hours ride from hotel to port for 17.00 ferry.

We travelled back on the 11th August and I am fairly sure that parking was allowed from 9 am, we got an email a few days before.

I live in plymouth city centre, if you can’t leave your van whilst you visit the delights that Plymouth has to offer, pm me I know a few spots to hide the van where it’s close to the port & town centre, I can even give you a parking permit if you need it

I used the Santander-Portsmouth ferry for the first time, last Wednesday (in my car), boarding was ok, but getting off at Portsmouth was organised chaos.

Whilst the ferry docked dead on time 20:00hrs, I was still sitting dockside 3/4 of an hour later..
