Near us we have this place
http://www.rimmerhouse.com/

I know abroad there are Aire etc

Anybody know of a place like Rimmer House on the way down to the South West where we can have a night stopover without needing (or paying) for full site facilities?

We're going from Preston to Looe in the middle of August and most places still want upwards of £15 for the night. We're looking for somewhere off the M5 that isn't a noisy motorway services. Just a simple hard-standing will do.
We'll be stopping at about 9.30pm which is past when most sites will let you in anyway.

There's a website I think, where pubs allow motorhomes to park in their car park for free. The assumption being that they use the pub for evening meal/couple of beers.

My local does this, but is probably too far down for you.

Here's the website, but I see it costs £30 a year to join. However, your stopovers are free from there on.

I looked at motorhomestopover but after reading around, quite a few pubs will do this anyway if you ask nicely.

I used to do Preston to Devon very often, my cunning one night only stop is the Football club carpark in Broadway in the Cotswolds.
Stopped there loads of times in small to medium sized vans and coachbuilts,it has an award winning public toilet and is very quiet,if you arrive after 5/6 and leave earlyish its free and I never got bothered there once, its a stunning village too.
