They maintain the hot tubs every day including testing the water. Last time I stayed there we sat in the tub in the evening in the rain, water dripping off the trees onto us, very nice. We were in Clover Way too. Been staying at Whitemead since the 80's.
Yes, we noticed they visited every day we were there, which is good. Absolutely loved our visit to Whitehead and having the hot tub was fantastic. Bet you've seen a few changes over the years!
@andyandkirstie You're right there, it was a very simple caravan & tent site back then but over the years has evolved into a modern site to keep up with demand. The first cabins they built were simpler & similar to caravan furnishings inside but people like more comfort these days & the old ones are long gone & much swisher styles have replaced them. I like the way the lodges & cabins are in the woodland area & separate from the rest of the site so you still feel you're in the wild a bit. We're going soon to stay in a lodge, no hot tub but larger rooms, the best lodges face onto the little lake so you get plenty of wildlife to keep you company. Unfortunately none available for our dates but we love it there wherever we stay. Hopefully you can stay again some time, we go during school term time for a quieter experience. Keep making the videos, very impressive. 👍
Good to see you both out and about again . Hot tub in the rain with a beer , idyllic .Wow that was a huge English Breakfast !! She was checking the hot tub to make sure you had not had a wee in it :-).
Nice to see your both well, the cabin looks nice, my brother in law lives just below Hereford, so when we visit often go to the forest of dean, your dogs would love it.
Hi Andy & Kirsty cabin and hot tub looks great ,any ideas when you will be cruising again, I think I’m going to leave it till next year before I book anything 😻
Another couple of videos from the forest followed by a short gap and then we'll be back cruising. We're hoping to then be able to post a video every weekend for the rest of the year!
Good to see you both. I am from the Forest of Dean, the cabins look great. . I thought you were going to say Paul and Carol.! Looks like you had a great time. X
Your cabin looks fab! Loved your entrance and music for the morning of the second day lol that was really cool. That was a big breakfast, and that new area will be fabulous. Loved your Harry Potter walk lol wow 20000 steps definitely worked the breakfast off. It was such a fun night we really enjoyed it, so good to meet you both at last!
That cabin looks really nice. Glad to see you out and about. Stay safe. Have you booked one of the UK cruises? So wish I could fly over to go on one but we in Canada are still in lockdown🙄
Interesting seeing a place i live so close too as a holiday spot, you have made me want to explore my doorstep more. Thanks. Were dogs not allowed or have i missed something there. Good video, thanks
Glad you found the video useful! Yes, dogs are absolutely welcome and some of the cabins are classified dog friendly. I don't take my dogs on holiday as I work with them and it's nice to have a dog free break sometimes!
Lovely video, guys! We really enjoyed the entire bit, even the tour of the DECK 😆 The park's restaurant looks great, as did the lovely pub food (and company!) that evening. Andy, may I ask what equip you used for the perfectly-shot nighttime scene (at 16:34, right after dinner with Paul & Carole)? Looking forward to the rest of this series (and your next cruising Vlogs). Cheers, Bob
Glad you enjoyed it! For that scene I used: Sony A7SIII with a Sony 20mm F1.8 prime lens. Aputure Al-M9 LED light on a Manfrotto pixi tripod which was stood off to the side which provided most of the light.
Great vlog. Great seeing you with Carole and Paul. Strange, cause we are used to seeing you all on a cruise ship.. Looks a nice place and the good British weather. 🙄😂 Sorry Andy but I don't like the beard. Nothing personal, I generally don't like beards. Much smarter cleaned shaved.. X
Good to hear you enjoyed the video! We had a great time with Paul & Carole and yes, it's a great place to spend a few days. Opinion on the beard is 50/50, some people like it!
What a lovely place, a little warm up getaway before your cruise, looking forward to your future adventures, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching 👍
Yes, cruises not to far away now, can't wait!

The dogs would definitely love it, but I need a break from dog walking now and again!

Cool channel . Good beard . Nice vibe between you guys . We are going there tomorrow.
Have fun!
That cabin looks really nice. Glad to see you out and about. Stay safe. Have you booked one of the UK cruises? So wish I could fly over to go on one but we in Canada are still in lockdown🙄
Yes, we're on Queen Elizabeth and then Iona very soon after that, so that's summer sorted! Hopefully you'll be up and cruising again soon too 😌
Nice to see the four of you together. We go to the Forest most years, are you going to Symonds Yat? Worth a visit
We didn't make it there this time around. Next time!

@@andyandkirstie Thanks, it was definitely worth the set up.
Whitemead it is a 20 minute walk from my house I think off it as a café not a Holiday park
Great! We had a lovely time there.
