- We revisit Concierge camping. It's pricey but it's very good and popular, it was full while we were there.
We paid £65 per night in July.

Hi Dave and Helen that's not expensive compared to Seacroft in Cromer for us 3 adults they wanted £83 per night so thanks to you for the last two years we've been staying at Deers Glade having watched your video on it saving us over £450 for the fortnight
Hi Andrew, OMG! that really is out of the box isn't it, the CAMC have over cooked it there, no wonder they keep sending money off deals and free night offers!. Deers Glade is a nice place and what a saving too. Thanks for watching and best wishes to you all. Helen & Dave
What a lovely caravan site, clean and very modern and up to date. The village u visited by the sea was so picturesque and how quick did that tide come . Love watching you and Helen videos 😀👍❤️
Thanks Debbie, we really appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment. It’s a lovely site and well worth a visit. Stay tuned, Helen and Dave 👍
Thanks for the video, looks a fab site to visit, with interesting places nearby. We just finished our first weekend in our new caravan, we’re newbies and I’ve been watching your channel for a couple of months. Thanks so much, always great to watch and informative 😊
@@Ethers17 Hi Sharon, thanks so much for this lovely feedback, we’re glad you’ve found the vids useful and we hope your weekend went well and marks the start of many fun times in your caravan. Stay tuned, Helen & Dave 👍
There is a great garden centre nearby,and a great chip shop in the village, really good for walking in the lanes..and disabled scootering…lovely train station…and smart pub diners around…
Morning Griswald, thanks for sharing this, useful to know. Take care, Helen & Dave
Hi Dave and Helen, Another good one, must say this site looks really nice and maybe is worth the extra cost. I've just caught up on this one, having just returned from Norfolk. It was really nice meeting you and Helen in Wroxham and having a lovely chat with you both, Nigel, Justine & Tyler.
Hi Nigel, Justine & Tyler, great to meet you the other day and you chose the perfect week to holiday in Norfolk! Hope you had a good trip home and thanks for supporting the channel. Hope to catch you again some time. Cheers, Helen & Dave 👍
This looks such a beautiful place & the prices for what you get seem reasonable to me - thank you for taking your subscribers on another journey, really enjoy your channel, much appreciated Dave and Helen ❤️👍
Hi Stephen, thanks for watching and also for your lovely comment. We like it there and it’s pricey compared with some but generally, you get what you pay for. Glad you’re enjoying the channel and we really appreciate your support. Stay tuned! Helen & Dave
@@stephenwood9104 Rolls Royces are good value too…
Some of the walls in the church at Bosham date back to Saxon times and some of the grave stones have fascinating stories. Many cars get flooded. Thanks for an interesting video.
Hi Richard, it’s an interesting place, the church was stunning! Love places like Bosham. Thanks for watching, Helen & Dave
Love Bosham! We kept shouting go in the chuch guys and then you did.😅 Top vid again Dave & Helen!❤❤ Paul & Lin.
Hi Paul & Lin, that church was amazing, so big and very interesting too. lovely place. Hope you're both well. Cheers, Helen & Dave
We went there once on recommendation from our neighbors, very pleasant site unfortunately the bar area was shut the whole time we were there, also the noise of the traffic was annoying and we forgot to bring our wine from home and ended up paying fifteen pounds for a bottle of red which was nice but a tad expensive ,I think if maybe money is no object It's great.
Hi Deborah, shame the bar was closed!! Not cheap buying alcohol from that shop. Too late now of course but there is a Co-op 5 minutes away and Tesco about 10 minutes. Annoying though that you had to pay those prices but it’s a special place. Thanks very much for watching. Helen & Dave 😊👍
Hi Dave and Helen.
Don't worry about the negative comments guys, I get them and just let them go over my head now. Used to upset me but got lots of great RUclipsrs around me telling me to ignore them.
Great vlog Dave/ Helen. As always.
I'm afraid the concierge site is way above my state pension funds. I can cope with Old Oaks and Eye Kettleby though.😊
However lovely site, used one of those cassette cleaners at Old Oaks didn't do the job properly.
Peckworth looks wonderful.
Bosham was absolutely brilliant, what an experience.
Those two cars nearly had a big repair bill.
Hey Dave didn't hear any extreme words when that car pulled in front of you 🤔
Thanks guys really enjoyed it.
Thumbs up thumped 👍
....Pete and Su....
@@delphjunction1168 Hi Pete & Su,
Hope you’re both well. Cracking site and lovely area. Thought I’d bit my tongue just in time when the car pulled in front of me, perhaps you read my mind 😂. Old Oaks is on the radar, just not sure yet when we can get there but watch this space! ATB, Helen & Dave 👍
Great to watch thank you for sharing
Thanks Helen, hope you’re enjoying your weekend 👍
@@HelenandDave yea thank you Dave and Helen hope you both too
Go Heather! Whoop whoop girl power 🤗🙋💖
Who’s Heather? 😂😂
@@HelenandDave sorry wrong number sneezed as I was sending it thanks
@@janetelson6646 😂😂 don’t worry, we’ll done to Heather for what ever it was she did 👍 Take care, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi Helen and Dave, we have really enjoyed watching your videos. We stayed at Concierge Camping in April and the site is lovely, very friendly staff and immaculate facilities. We also took our Kayaks out for a run in Bosham which was great fun. We also loved your video before where you visited Sandbanks. Not far from where we live. There has been a couple of times we have bumped into Harry Redknapp in the local cafe, he is a really friendly chap.
We wanted to thank you for inspiring us to be brave and start our own channel to share our caravan and holiday adventures and escapades. It is still early days and we are just staring out so only a few subscribers but I guess we all have to start somewhere. Thank you for giving us the boost we needed to share our adventures you are fab at what you do. Keep them coming!
Hi Tim, thanks for watching and leaving a lovely comment and good luck with the channel. (Will head over and check it out later). First 1000 subs seem to take a lifetime then it really accelerates so persevere and just keep churning out vids👍👍 Cheers, Helen & Dave
Hi Dave & Helen, we love this site, just back from our 4th visit. It is expensive but has everything we like and the surrounding area is so interesting. Plus it’s only an hour and a half from us. Already booked for next year 😎
Hi Richard, with you all the way, great place, fabulous facilities and a wonderful area. If we lived nearer we would be back regularly too. Thanks for watching. Take care, Helen & Dave
Beautiful place enjoyed watching thank you for sharing hope you both ok
Hello Helen, glad you liked it and thanks as always. 👍👍Helen & Dave 😊
Hi Helen & Dave, loved the look around Bosham, they were lucky to get back to the cars! We think it really is a case of you get what you pay for and if availability is limited then that says it all.
Hi Chris & Steve, We agree! It's difficult to get a pitch here at short notice. Bosham was great, a lovely place to live. Take care, Helen & Dave
Langstone Harbour is lovely and Emsworth too, we live in that area, well worth a visit
@@JAS356UK thanks for sharing, will check out for a future visit. loved the place! thanks, Helen & Dave
Hi Dave and Helen, I want to say thank you for the great advice on the videos, me and my wife are beginners to touring caravans having had static caravans for years, I feel much more comfortable taking out our caravan in a couple of weeks. Thanks again 😊 Dean n Kerry
Hi Dean & Kerry, lovely comment and feedback thank you very much indeed. You must be very excited. We always look forward to getting away. Have fun, take your time and please stay tuned and let us know how you get on. Cheers, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi, what a beautiful site. Great to see you living it up and treating yourselves. Quite right too. All the best Sheila & Gavin 🎉
Thanks Shiela, we've had a lovely tour South and so pleased we returned to Concierge. Great place! Thanks so much for watching. Helen & Dave
Excellent review of what looks a very quaint Hamlet, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Patricia and it really is a lovely place and area. Thanks as always for your support. Cheers, Helen & Dave
Hi Dave & Helen, Our type of site, FS with privacy hedges 😁. This is the only site I know that has a cassette cleaning machine, have you come across others? They were lucky car owners with wet feet. I can see why the houses have front doors so high ! Best wishes, Rob & Gail 😀
Hi Rob & Gail, we haven’t seen one of these machines anywhere else on our travels either. We’ll worth a visit if your heading south or looking for a stop off before catching a ferry from Portsmouth. Hope you’re both well and enjoying your BH weekend. Cheers, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi Helen and Dave, what a beautiful site and not as expensive as I expected. Looks like a lovely area. Cheers Terry
Hi Terry, it’s very well kept and has a lovely feel about the place. Hope you’re well and thanks as always, Helen & Dave 👍
It may be very expensive but we couldn't book at all this year,but watching this I'll try again next year,at the moment I'm sat in the sun at tretham mill in Cornwall, if you haven't been you must❤
Hi Jim, that says it all really, it's pricey but definitely worth every penny in our opinion. Hope you're enjoying Cornwall, we really need to get there with the caravan. Best wishes, Helen & Dave
Too expensive, and car parking location? it's like the caravanners Dorchester, perhaps for special occasions, but then every trip is special.
Enjoy yourself folks
Good excuse to be stuck in the pub as the tide has come in 😂
😂😂🍺🍺 love it 👍
It will always be one of favourite sites , sometimes you have to be good to yourselves . Nice to see it again . Thanks for sharing H and M
Hello Helen & Martin, you’re so right! It’s also on our favourites list too, a nice treat. ATB, Helen & Dave
Great video Helen & Dave (despite what somone else said 🙄)
I think the bush/tree that Helen was trying to identify is a Magnolia Grandiflora. They are absolutely stunning trees as we have two of them.
Great to see Helen out and about and getting on with her shoulder troubles.
Lots of love
David & Rachel (Colchester)
Hi David & Rachel, hope you're both well and managing to enjoy some time in your motorhome in this lovely weather! Thanks for the heads up on the Magnolia Grandiflora, Helen will be after one of those now, beautiful. Take care and thanks for watching. Helen & Dave
Great site and area for sure, thanks for taking us along with you. Nikki and I might book there for the almost week when we’re child free next summer 😀😀 Thanks again both Tris and Nikki
Hi Tris & Nikki, sounds like you're already looking forward to that week lol. If you want to pamper yourself on a bit of luxury, then this would be a good choice. Take care, Helen & Dave
Yes dave
They have opened up the top end of site visits
Its always busy
They have got it spot on if you are happy to pay
Great set of guys and have some great functions
Cheers bill
Thanks for the info, yes the team there are excellent. Thanks again :o)
Hi Dave and Helen that's absolutely beautiful what a campsite would love to get down there were from Scotland but maybe in the future thanks for sharing Janet & paul
Hi Janet & Paul, thanks very much for your lovely comment. Yes, that would be a bit of a trek for you but must say our 2 weeks on the South coast including the Isle of Wight was one of our best trips so far (other than Scotland of course). Stay tuned and best wishes, Helen & Dave
Site looks immaculate and spacious. Each to their own i say. We went to Dornafield near Newton abbot in Devon for 15 years and was absolutely pristine with terrific kids play areas, fantastic dog walks, pitches and shower blocks the best I've seen. Also you were able to pre- order morning papers, freshly baked loafs and pastries and milk. Sadly it was sold to the Caravan club and now is looking a shadow of its former self.
Morning Dusty, we completely agree, life is all about choices. Shame Dornafield was sold to the CAMC. There seems to be more personal touches and pride put into a private site. Thanks for your comment and also supporting the channel. Cheers, Helen & Dave
@@HelenandDave absolutely
We had a lovely stay at Sandy Gulls thanks to your recommendations. While there we visited a few church's. One special one was at Barton Mills in Suffolk. The reason was to find a grave of my Uncle who lost his life in 1938 while serving in RAF. Sadly we didnt find the grave but the memorial plaque is in the church. Now the mystery continues.
Hi Helen, glad you enjoyed your stay at Sandy Gulls, we were at Barton Mills yesterday, what a shame you couldn’t find the grave. Thanks for watching, Cheers, Helen & Dave
@HelenandDave it appears they were not buried there. Have been in touch with church who were very helpful. No one knows why their names are there as they went down in the Humber. Possibly someone at RAF Mildenhall wanted them to be remembered as it happened before the war
@@helenbrunn that was very helpful of the church, the mystery continues! take care!
Hi Dave and Helen, we’re recent subscribers and really enjoying your videos, we’re just about to buy our first caravan and enjoy watching you both dotting about and visiting different areas, we love the fact Helen always has to buy something wherever you visit and you appreciate visiting lovely churches etc, keep up the good work and we look forward to your next one.
Hi there Tom, thanks so much for subscribing, watching the vids and taking the time to leave a lovely comment, this is the sort of thing that keeps us motivated to churn out the vids. You must be excited about picking up your new caravan and we hope you have many fun adventures. Stay tuned and keep the comments coming, let us know how things go too, we're always interested to hear. ATB, Helen & Dave PS. Helen cannot walk past a shop without buying something!!!!!!
😂 my wife is much the same, must be a Scottish thing 👍🏻
@@HelenandDave Hi Dave, can I ask how you find the Spotrage as a tow car, how does it score i.e. the 85% rule with your Sterling Eccles 580?
@@tomgray4378 Hi Tom, it pulls a treat. It’s a 2lt auto GT LINE with towing capacity of 1900kg so it has no issue pulling the Sterling with its MTPLM of 1512kg (think that’s what it is without double checking 😂 Tows much better than the Volvo XC60 we used to have 👍
@@HelenandDave Brilliant
, thanks Dave 👍🏻
Hi Helen & Dave great vlog, that site looks amazing we liked it last time you visited i,m going to look into it for next year, the village was nice loved the pub i could sit there all day people watching and waiting for the tide to come in,those people cut it fine lol. Cant afford that house this week still waiting on a lottery win 😂😂😂 look after yourselves as always xx
Hello Julie, lovely comment, thank you! On a lovely sunny day that pub would be the base for us too. Nice area and thanks again. Helen & Dave
Hi Helen and Dave. Brilliant video. Have you stayed at Old Oaks Glastonbury? Absolutely fabulous. Amazing 5 star toilet blocks. Fantastic pitches. So peaceful and quiet. We loved it so much that we have rebooked to return twice in 2025!
Hi Jackie, we haven't made it to Old Oaks yet but it's possibly the most recommended site we have had, so we really need to get there soon. It sounds really fab! Thanks for watching. Best wishes, Helen & Dave
Hello. Lovely site but bit expensive carn't see Keith paying that much he'll stick with CAMC. Nice little village. We're away nxt week carnt wait. Thankyou. Xx
Hi Alison & Keith, hope you’re well. It is pricey but a nice place for a treat. Where are you heading on your next trip? Hope you have a nice time, Helen & Dave 👍
@@HelenandDave I'll have to twist Keiths arm for nxt year for our anniversary. 😁. Going Chirk then home for a week then off to Tewskbury to meet friends. Take care. X
Very nice but I'm afraid 65 quid a night is ott. Its a site for the haves not have nots.
Hi Graham, thanks for watching. It's certainly the most expensive site we have been on and not somewhere or the sort of site we would visit regularly but it was a treat for us and only a short break. Best wishes, Helen & Dave
Hi Dave & Helen, we met you earlier in the year at another top quality park, EKL. We stayed at C.C. in June. Worth every penny, just wish it was closer to our base in Cheshire.
Hello Andrew, yes, we remember, Eye Kettleby is great too. Like you, if it was closer we would take more frequent visits. ATB, Helen and Dave 👍
£65 is expensive for site, but still offers value or money as otherwise It would be empty, not full for months in advance. Though I love around that part of Sussex, Concierge has become a destination in itself. I’m not sure you can give a site anymore praise than that.
Hi Peter, you've nailed it there! The place is full with almost no availability. Says it all really and we loved it! Thanks for watching, Helen & Dave
That’s a bit to high end for me lol but I must say that did look like an amazing site. The fertility’s looked fantastic,that Japanese food looked great, the toilet cassette cleaner blew my mind and most importantly I noticed Guinness on tap 😂
Hi Ben, your attention to detail is amazing, we didn’t notice the Guinness 😂 Great site and the most expensive we have stayed on. Pleased to see your channel is growing nicely too, keep up the good work 👍👍Helen & Dave
well we are at concierge camping for the first time and have booked 3 different pitches. the safari tent for our none camper/caravan son has bedding towels and a lovely spot by the stream but parking isnt alongside and although there is crockery there are no cooking facilities other than a massice Aga - no good in this heat. Not even a kettle which is a surprise for almost £1500 a week. Our daughter's pitch, one of the new Emperor lodges has no kettle either and no sofa to watch tv. they are in a tiny mazda bongo so felt the large dining room table overpowered the space and didnt appreciate walking into a glass box from the shower room. we have a gladiator pitch for our caravan ( cheapest of the 3 pitches) and its fine and the one we use for our family gatherings. it has a dishwasher but no dishes, a coffee machibe but no kettle and a tv with no sofa. Love the size of the caravan pitches but there are odd numbers so thete are 2 pitch 13s but different colours. The shower and toilet blocks are great and so is the ice machine. the grounds are well trimmed but actually i dobt think its good value compared to my usual site in Dorset.....sorry - we wont be back....for over £3500 we can easily rent a holiday home with all the facilities for a 3 family gathering.
How disappointing for you! Can’t believe there was no kettle or couches especially when you have paid so much money. We liked our stays but obviously we were on a caravan pitch but we would have been disappointed too if we had paid so much. Now curious to know what your favourite Dorset site is. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Best wishes, Helen & Dave 👍
Name that site in Dorset….
Love to know where in Dorset
@@liz-ou4sv Same 😄
we love Wareham Forest Touring Park. The site is open all year. we love our winter and summer weekends. Fantastic forest walks, heated swimming pool in summer and massive playing field for grandchildren, dedicated dog walking field for off leash fun, well stocked shop. BUT no bar or social club on site. in the summer you can take a bus from the site to popular beaches and Corfe Castle We love Wareham Village with lots of pubs and takeawys plus a historic church( car or taxi required). Its a saxon village with a river quayside where there's a Saturday food market and Boat trips to Poole Harbour. The nearby Tank museum is great for rainy days. We have just arrived for the 2nd week of our holiday and looking forward to Bournemouth air show. Our week at Concierge made us appreciate our favourite site even more. For those who dont work - half the site is used by people who leave their big touring caravans and awnings out all summer. Studland beach has a national trust cafe and safe clean swimming with views of Poole Harbour and Old Harrty's rocks. Wishing I lived here 😊
Hi dave
Hope helen is all ok
The cost of the ones over the stream seem to be a tad high £199.00 per night on a weekend
But a great site we go often 👍
They know how to charge Bill lol however, it was busy whilst we were there so people clearly are prepared to pay. Thanks again, take care, Helen & Dave
Hi Helen and Dave when did you go ? The whole site over the stream has been developed you now get your own pod with each pitch ? Look on the site cheers bill
Hi Bill, we were there back in July but I had an issue with h camera so I used previous footage (did mention it at the start) Helen wasn't too well either so we never ventured back over the stream. Thanks for the heads up. Cheers, Helen & Dave
TBH Dave, I would say both.
Hi Sooty, I think you're right, it really is a fab place and a nice treat too. Thanks for watching, Cath you on the next one! Helen & Dave
Hi Helen and Dave,
Lovely looking site if expensive but obviously you like it with a return visit 😀.
The food you got looked gorgeous 😋.
Can't believe how lucky those car owners were 😮.
If you sell the van that house could be yours 😉.
Nice to see more of Helen getting about.
Take care and enjoy.
Paul and Joanne 👍 ❤️.
Hi Paul & Joanne, it's a great place and getting a pitch on there is a struggle, it's very popular and the food was great. Hope you're both keeping well. Soon be time for your Norfolk trip. Helen & Dave
@HelenandDave
V popular then.
Yes, at the end of the month, we are heading down if we are allowed into Norfolk 🤣

😂 Wit is about the only thing he does do quickly 😂 Thanks for watching, Helen & Dave 👍
Thought those cars were going to be in trouble!!
Yeah, another 10 minutes and they may have been in trouble!
Looks lovely but expensive, is it nice and quiet?
Hi Janice, yes, on both occasions we have been there we found it to be quiet. The bar and food areas get busy at weekends and that area is open to non campers too. It's expensive but in a different class. Cheers, Helen & Dave
@@HelenandDave thanks
I think it’s lovely….the staff are brilliant,nothing is too much trouble…and the other campers are really nice. To you,,you wont find any rudeness here…it’s like shopping at Waitrose ,a nice experience.if you ever you were to get upset here, theres a danger of somebody saying “oh sweetheart,whatever’s the matter ? Have a nice glass of chilled champagne..”
Prices of sites around the country are getting ridiculous. We just spent FOUR weeks in France for less than the price of ONE week at this site🤷🏼?
Horses for courses Leslie but I do agree the prices are going up & up! Hope you had a good time in France 👍
Were the sites in France as nice ?..you can get it for £15 in this country…but you have to chew on the gristle..
@@griswald7156 that’s true 👍
