What customers say
Visitors praise the site's exceptionally clean and modern facilities, spacious pitches, and beautiful countryside surroundings featuring alpacas and horses. Its convenient location offers peacefulness while being close to amenities. Plane noise is noted by some but often viewed as a fascination. Minor drawbacks include occasional noise from nearby kennels and some access road imperfections. Many express a desire to return.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Apart from aircraft noise from East Midlands Airport, that didn’t bother us and not that regular, it was a quiet site with just a few pitches. These were in good condition with all services. Short walk in East Leake that has an abundance of amenities including three pubs. Would thoroughly recommend the Bulls Head for food.
Disliked No one on site to see us in and no sign of anyone during our stay. There was a problem with a sink but couldn’t find anyone to raise it with.

Excellent site and very well cared for with fully serviced pitches
Fully-serviced grass pitch
Liked We loved the fact this location offers fully serviced pitches. The site is obviously well looked after with the grass nicely cut.
The on site toilets and shower area was very well maintained and very clean. They look new. The addition of a washing machine and tumble drier is a nice touch, although we never made use of them.
Being a pilot, I particularly liked the planes going overhead on their approach to East Midlands airport. Obviously loud when they go over, but its not that much of a problem.
Disliked There was nothing about this location that we didn't like.
