It is a nice place, but it is also in the middle of nowhere, just a pub and a very basic shop in the countryside. So you will need to drive there and away each night etc. So try to make sure you can drive if it takes more than one day...
(If you ask Phil very nicely and gently he may let you camp in the yard for one night or so...)
You can drive into London with your Puma for no cost, but I think you need to register first...?

Thanks Darrin. Its actually turned out that Dunsfold cannot service Land Rovers newer than 200 according to Phil (whom I emailed). They don't apparently have the equipment.
So we are going to go to Foleys instead. (Which is a bit closer to Leighton Buzzard where we will be staying on a friends farm anyway).
Thanks for all your advice (and I think your advice to that other overlander about not taking a trailer to Africa and opting for a rooftop tent spot on! We thought our Hannibal rooftop tent excellent).
Cheers
