Hi there

Southlakeland Caravans have been about for a good many years and from my experience they are one of the good guys , you dont hear many bad reports about them . Saying that all sites have problems from time to time its just how they respond to the problem , also most of the time its the customer whos at fault not the site ( unless its a Bourne Leisure site ).

All sites raise there fees yearly so this shouldnt really be an issue.

Hi,
We are on a Southlakeland Park, we bought last August and so far are very happy with everything.

sorry can´t get the hang of the edit function, forgot to say it´s in Lancashire .

Hi Turner we are looking at Ocean Edge though we havnt been yet it seems to be a nice park with good review .

I think Partingtons are 15 years but some on our site are slightly older....Black Beck is a very peaceful site just near to Grizedale Forest. We are 5 mins away from some lovely beaches and near to Cartmel for the horse racing.

Well in 26 years of this industry a lot of problems arise from owners either not adhering to site rules and regulations , or thinking they are above them . Lets just agree to disagree as every one has there own opinions on this subject

[arronbrook]

Not wishing to light a powder keg or anything but out of interest I wonder if we did a poll how many people on here would rate their site as highly satisfied and how many would be disgruntled. I for one would say I'm really happy with our site and the way its run -at the moment, but ownership and things can change so heres touching wood it always stays as it is now.

Hi we have our van on a Partingtons site and they seem to care about what happens. We have had no complaints since we bought our van on Blackbeck....it just gets better. Going up soon just to check everythings okay but I know they check too.
