Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked The site is in an excellent location with amazing views over the water and having separate pitches gave us extra privacy and space which was a treat.

Disliked The pitches are on a slope which is why you have the good views. We were fortunate to find one that had a level area for the tent but the ground was very lumpy underfoot. The facilities available were decent and clean but overall for the money a bit lacking in the extras especially if you're there for more than a couple of nights.

Certainly would come back

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked Large spacious pitches with mature hedging with cracking views of Rutland Water. Nice and quiet adult only site. Great location easy to get everywhere. Lovely nursery and cafe a short walk up the hill. Always had hot water when showering and washing up.

Disliked Showers were basic and quite a walk from the pitches. Didn't like separate locks on inside and outside and potential for someone to lock you in. Would have liked a modesty shower curtain as quite big gaps in door. No pegs/shelving in one of the showers so everything got wet. Decking outside was very slippery when wet.

No cover over outside washing up area.

No ability to recycle cans, plastic, paper.

Wonderful spot in beautiful Rutland

Liked View, private pitch, small site, quiet setting, owners responded quickly when things needed attention, clear directions/instructions.

Disliked Washing up area not covered, needed to unpadlock the chain every time we left the site.
