    we have decided to go the caravan route,any ideas what are the rules with this…..
    Ring you local authority tomorrow s rules vary, EG conservation area and possibly council to council and there may even be restrictions via covenants on your deeds, so check!

    Would it not be easier as i said before blow up beds in the dining room and or living room? - or blow-up beds in bedrooms in addition to the bests you have?

    How long are they staying for?

    Apart from sleeping, how much time will they be spending in the garage?!

    Assuming it's kids or teenagers, I think I'd pitch a tent - IN the garage. Fill it with cushions, duvets, cosy stuff - they'll LOVE it!

    Oh, and a wee oil-filled heater...

    And make sure you fit a WiFi extender :neutral:
  • If there are no restrictions on parking a caravan on your drive, then I understand that it is OK to use it occasionally as extra accommodation for guests.

    We keep our caravan  on our drive and our grandchildren think it is great fun for them and Mummy to come and stay in it for a night occasionally.   We also had my sister in law sleeping in  it for 5 nights this summer when we had more guests than spare beds.
