Liked: The hosts are great, even helped us newbies with a gas bottle issue. The site is amazing, great view and clean, nice facilities. We like the fact they are not a big block, air tight, as that just keeps the smell in whereas these are clean and fresh all the time. A special mention has the go out for the fitting of a toilet spray, a great addition for anyone who has used them before.
Disliked: A small warning. The pitches are not level and, even with ramps we could not get the fridge to light but we loved the view and the enclosed pitches so didn't care!

Liked: Me and the children absolutely loved our stay! The site is gorgeous with stunning views. I loved that you have your own separated area which meant the children could run around without too much worry. The washing facilities were clean and tidy, I honestly couldn’t have asked for any more!
Disliked: Having to come home!

Liked: Open aspect. Quiet site policy, secluded camping bays, views over Rutland Water and big skies. A site with developing potential when completed will be superb.
Disliked: For the camping area the loos and showers are pop up but a bit basic. Only one washing up area with no cover. Getting in and out with a large chain and padlock was a bit of a pain. But again site is evolving and sure the owners will get this right in the end. There is a need to make it very clear that it's a no music site as some users didn't respect this.

Liked: Fantastic location, on the Rutland Cycle Trail. Individual bays to camp in made it very private and peaceful, but the views over Rutland Water are amazing, and the sunsets beautiful Great welcome from Natalia, very helpful with advice on routes to cycle Showers hot, toilets clean. i wonder if the site was busier, if there was enough to cope, but it was quiet, so no issues from us
Disliked: Having ability to refreeze ice blocks would be useful, but we managed and bought ice bags to keep cooler cool
