Templars Inn

I have to agree, something is better than nothing. The number of pubs that are charging is continually increasing so if a discount for spending in the establishment is available then why not, there are too many who are charging €20-25 to park up in a carpark with no facilities and no discount for spending. Remember if you don't like it move on you are not being forced to stay and pay.

They have to be applauded for actually listening to what we were saying.

If you owned a pub and were getting €25 with no discount, you'd be the first. Which is the reason I contacted them to start with, they weren't getting many motorhome owners at €20 and no discount.

I *did* own a pub, I wish at the time I had of known about Motorhoming, they would of been very welcome for free, if they visited the bar.

My two Pee's worth.
A pub that allows overnight parking, to in courage people to come and have their fill of food and or drink, and then go and sleep in their vans great, if you don't use the facilities, charge a fee,
Great. Just exactly what you need. If its in an area where there are lots of things to do, for a few days, then charge a Daly rate.
But a pub that's in the middle of nowhere, with nothing to do only go back to the pub, for the afternoon and evening, and charging for the privilege, is not going to have much or any return visits, there is only so long most people will sit looking at the back of a pub, and a sea you have to travel 3k to get too, and not safe to walk there.
This could be a great stopover, but a campsite nah.

I dont think.thats enough, that's why we kept going last time. My thoughts are we go to the pub for food the least we are going to spend is €30 for 2 mains, sometimes I like a dessert another 5/6 euros, if we don't have food and only drink pint and a glass of guinness is approx 7/8€ depending on where you are and we've never left after 1 drink usually 4 or more. So either food or drink we'd spend €30 plus, Great they are listening but still think more could be done and agree with sprinter it's very isolated so only a stopover and wouldn't need ehu. And yes we do need places like these, but they need customers too, whatever they drive, everyone is being hit with rising cost of living so any business is better than empty seats.
Just my opinion, I wish them well as we own a business ourselves.

Going back to the original idea of providing parking for motorhomes.
It was and still is in many places a concept to bring additional spend in the premises of the provider or town/village, not a direct source of income through parking charges in itself.
At a high demand holiday destination with lots to offer a parking charge of €10 - €15 is generally accepted but in locations with a more modest holiday/tourist offering parking is often free as an incentive to encourage visitors to come to the premises/town/village

I was up for a couple of pints earlier, 3 vans, one of which left before us. While we were there, a M/H drove through the carpark, and 3 passed by.
Sad to see, but speaks for itself, people are voting wirh their wheel's.

My view would be if a couple drove in to the carpark and went into the pub and had a few drinks and food and drove out later that night you wouldn't charge them for parking. now that parking space is empty until the next day presumably ! So if it's a motorhome why not let them stay no harm as long as they have the space. Pubs put in beer gardens to attract business why not water and dran and black water. It wouldn't cost a wild amount again if they have the space.
