Liked: The owner gave full instructions before I arrived and was very helpful. The Instructions were spot on. Very peaceful and right by the canal. Thoroughly enjoyed the peace being the only one there
Disliked: Was a bit awkward reversing in without getting stuck in the stones. But no issues exiting the site.

Liked: The owner of the site was very kind and helpful. I received an email prior to my stay with full instructions about how to access the site and with a "what 3 words" location which meant that I arrived exactly where I was supposed to. That saved so much stress and hassle, as with a caravan in tow, the last thing you need is to be going round in circles with Google Maps. I sprung a leak when I arrived so I had no running water to get a shower but was offered the use of their own shower! I fixed the leak in the end and was able to use my own onboard facilities. I was offered a coffee & a guided of the amazing lodges they have just down the path. Very fancy indeed! The site is strictly for off-grid caravaners. When booking, bare in mind that you must take your own rubbish away with you, that includes your cassette toilet. There is a public toilet just a couple of miles up the road. It's a HGV lorry stop but they have toilets and showers. I took my toilet there and emptied it. On the way back. I stopped off at the Mini Meadows Farm to get a coffee. Finally, I wanted to do a walk whilst I was here so the owner pointed me in the direction of a lovely canal side stroll that goes into Yelverton. Passes through a woodland and there is a lovely church yard. On the day that I walked, it was very muddy so make sure to bring suitable footwear. Overall, to summarise, don't expect anything more than a pitch and a tap. I was very happy that I chose to stay here and will definitely be back!
Disliked: I got stuck trying to tow my caravan out of the pitch as there is a steep-ish slope back up to the gate. If you're on your own and dont have a motor-mover, it might not be for you. But I had my trusty mover and I'm sure if they're around, someone will help you give your van a nudge. The state of the roads around the pitch aren't great. Lots of pot holes and very unkempt, but what do you expect out here in the middle of no where.

Liked: Really peaceful quiet site, yet close enough to main road link to M1. The owners were very friendly and helpful with the information and directions. Unfortunately the bad weather inhibited us being able to walk along the grand canal.

Liked: Easy to find, quiet spot right next to the Grand Union canal. Great for a stroll and to watch the canal boats going past. Coded padlocked gate so felt secure being the only one there. Gravel hardstanding and water tap.

Liked: What a gem of a find! Quite peaceful and relaxing right by the canal so great for dog walks and lovely sunsets. Clean spacious pitch (we had it all to ourselves what a treat) we enjoyed just being able to pitch up and relax - it’s back to basics no services - as advertised - so be prepared - I slept like a log - we only live 20 minutes away who knew we had all this on our doorstep! The owner is very friendly and welcoming - so thank you Graham - we look forward to a return visit very soon. We would highly recommend - it’s just perfect for a no frills fuss or bother break away - peace and quiet - lovely walks nearby - just time for yourselves away from it all - and breathe .
