, and bar/café, as well as the camping and touring caravan pitches are situated on the left hand side, along with some static caravans. On the other side, and further up the hill, lie more static caravans, and the farm "cottages". This was the area that we stayed in. You couldn't see or hear the main road from here.
ACCOMODATION
Parkers Farm offers 25 static caravan types for hire, which are graded A to G.

I couldn't find any vacancies so I suggested a caravan to my husband, he agreed as we both think it's great for children to be outside and they love it. I search the Hoseasons website and we decided to go on Friday after school and work etc and stay until Monday as the children were off school then.
