Friendly Wardens make all the difference
I have just spent the best part of a week at Rosedale Abbey. I have never been there before and as so many letters are complaints, I decided to make an exception! As a lone traveller, friendly wardens are of vital importance. So many people find things to complain about I am going to do the opposite.
Linda and Phil Martlew could not have been more friendly and helpful. The site, despite the rain, is kept immaculate and they work hard to make one's stay enjoyable. Why is it that some folks will always find something to complain about?
I am about to return to Notgrove to join the "booze gang," where I shall find another marvellous pair of wardens. Bren and Mike are two of the best. I have come across some "jobsworths" over the years and those who will help if needed, to a point. But these two couples will go the extra mile. Many thanks from a loner.

Lovely story! The Human That I Own is also a lone caravanner and completely agrees that a warm and friendly welcome is a million times more important than whether or not the grass is cut to the regulation 32.5mm in height.
We've also come across many lovely wardens on our travels and we agree, it really sets our stay off on the right foot.
Hopefully we will bump into each other on our travels!
All the best from Dougal

Glad to hear you enjoyed your trip to Rosedale and the warm welcome, a lovely part of the country. I will be sure to let the wardens know your feedback. Enjoy Notgrove, it's a particular favourite of mine and you are right the wardens are fabulous, I was
lucky enough to meet them last year and join them for some lunch. I hope Mike is still doing his fact of the day!0 -
