Hidden Hideaway

Μου άρεσε Great pitch sizes, lovely toilet and shower blocks in a wooden cabin, playground area for the kids and a lovely view.
Ellie was in touch regularly and popped over to see us each day to check on how we were and if we needed anything.
Will absolutely be going back next year!

Μου άρεσε Large pitches, electric included in price, central graveled access to all the pitches, rural location, minimal road noise if any. Friendly welcoming owners. Clean toilet/sink/shower cabin + washing up station and freezer. Everything you need.

Δεν μου άρεσε This isn't really a dislike but the drinking water tap to the side of the shower cabin isn't in a very convenient location for filling up the on board water tank on most campervans unless you have a very long hose or drive your van onto the adjacent pitch. A tap on a free standing post closer to the driveway would be better. Luckily I had brought my own water and didn't need to fill up during my two night stay.

Μου άρεσε Very peaceful considering it is a working farm. The toilet block and washing area were impeccably clean and everything worked as it should.
There were only 3 out of 10 pitches full during our stay which was a great pity. This delightful little site deserves more visitors. A beautiful rural area with some really nice walks in the local area and local villages.
The primary reason for our visit was to observe the eclipse and to look out for the Perseid Meteor shower and 6 planet parade. The sky is far darker than home but Leicester, Loughborough and Market Harborough give off a glow at low level. Nontheless we saw an amazing display of stars, shooting stars and satellites.
Loads of wildlife to observe, we watched groups if Hares at dawn each morning. Ospreys, Red Kites, Buzzards Barn Owls all put in an appearance as did Swallows, Swifts, Lapwings, Linnets and many more.
We will be back to this lovely little site, hopefully it will have returned to green grassland and recovered from the drought.

Δεν μου άρεσε Nothing to fault here.

Μου άρεσε Huge pitch & a 6m gap to the next pitch.
Clean toilets/showers.
Peaceful, other than a 5.45am wake up from dozens of mooing cows being moved (only 1 of our 2 night stay). Is a working farm.
Nice friendly owner.

Δεν μου άρεσε Would be nice if fridge had freezer section for freezer blocks for coolboxes.
No real shade, so bring a gazebo.

Μου άρεσε The wide open spaces, the glorious views, the accessibility to Rutland water, melton Mowbray and other areas of interest, the friendliness and helpfulness of the owner …. Excellent

Μου άρεσε Peaceful setting
Fast response to any issues
Was happy for us to have friends over for the day

Δεν μου άρεσε Showers went from freezing to dangerously hot (especially for children) and just dripped when other taps weee on

Very, very windy!

Owners dogs were free to roam which for us was fine as we have dogs (although not with us) but may not suit all campers. They were very friendly but not sure I agree with campers dogs having to be on lead at all times when owners dogs were free to roam. If we weren’t there to keep an eye the dogs would have been in the tents!

Μου άρεσε Great toilets and showers,hot water,no road noise,all you could hear was the birds and farm animals which was great.Fantastic views and walks.The owner is very helpful and friendly,was left a tool to help me remove my tent pegs as the ground was very hard as there had been no rain for several days.
Great little campsite.

Δεν μου άρεσε Only thing was that it got a bit windy,but that cannot be helped being in a field in such a flat area!Also network reception was a bit hit and miss.

Μου άρεσε Wonderfully quiet. Everything included. Clean. New water in hot tub (we’ve had second hand water in other places - gross). Comfortable bed. Beautiful views.

Δεν μου άρεσε The distance to the campsite where other family were staying.

Μου άρεσε Everything

Μου άρεσε Roomy pitches, super (very clean) facilities and quiet location. The field is on a slight slope but this was easy to adjust for.
We slept really well as there is no road noise, just the normal sound of farm activity which didn’t disturb us at all.
The site had everything we needed, and extra touches like a proper hand towel in the toilets.
Excellent communication from our host - if I had read it more carefully we wouldn’t have got lost! It really is quite hidden 😀

Δεν μου άρεσε Nothing at all.
