This venue no longer does motorhome overnight parking. Your listing needs updating.
Thanks Graham for taking the time to leave a review for this Motorhome Stopover. We have contacted the pub so we can update or delete the listing.
We have discovered Motorhome owners still stay at this location but in the Car Park next to church and not in actual Pub car-park which is a stones through away.
We have updated the listing accordingly.
