  • Peaceful site on a working family farm in rural Leicestershire
  • Five minutes' drive to Kilworth House Theatre; Foxton Locks 15 minutes
  • Easy access from the M1; village shop and pub a mile away
Shopping around for somewhere with lovely rural views for your Leicestershire break? Set your compass for Cote Hill Farm Stay, part of a working family farm about a mile from the village of Husbands Bosworth – on a clear day, the views from here stretch out for up to three miles. With a backdrop like that, and a setting where your nearest neighbours will be the cows in the next-door fields, this is a peaceful location indeed – just the thing for a bit of relaxation time for families, couples or small groups. You won’t be far from amenities and things to do, though – there are lots of canal paths, woodland walks and cycle trails around, and you’ll be close to attractions like Stanford Hall and Foxton Locks. Getting to and from the site should be straightforward enough, as the site is only about 10 minutes’ drive from the M1, via a journey that’s almost entirely on an A road. Lutterworth and Market Harborough are both about 10-15 minutes’ drive away for shops and other facilities, but if you don't fancy going that far, it’s handy to have a pub and a convenience store on hand in the local village too. Facilities on site include a washing-up area and a toilet block with showers. Barbecues are permitted if you’d like to try a bit of outdoor cooking.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (family)

Liked: It's a quiet spot next to a farm. It's a rather small meadow but that makes the location more intimate. There are two toilets and one shower. The facilities are clean and tidy. For us the location had all we wanted.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (family)

Liked: This is a lovely small campsite with incredible views, it is well kept, cows are on-site to keep you company, and the owner is friendly and welcoming. There are a couple of pubs a short walk away (30minutes), although these are accessed via roads, as opposed to country walks. Overall this is a nice little campsite that I would definitely recommend for a visit.

Disliked: A slight downfall is there are only two toilets and one shower to share between the campsite so if you are looking to leave at a set time you may have a bit of a wait.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (adults only, four person)

Liked: Clean toilet and bathroom

Disliked: There are only 2 toilets and 1 shower available, peak hour in the morning got a queue. Also be aware that no campfire is allowed.

From the manager: Hi thank you for your stay great photos. You came busiest weekend bank holiday but there’s never a queue for our showers usually. It’s just unfortunate you came in a bigger group and we only have 12 pitches, but luckily we never on other weekend, think only 1 person waiting. We can’t have host campfires in our farm, there’s a huge risk to us and we have to protect the farm and animals from potential fires and we put on pitch up no fires so people are aware before they book. The fire risk is too high and there’s been more fires this year from camping and our farm animals hate fires / smoke , so we just can’t have them on a small farm site. :) with 12 pitches would mean 12 fires and the risk is to high, we like the keep the site as cheap for people as possible and if we start putting more facilities and insurance for fires our prices will rise alot so we keep it a basic safe site for people. Thank you for staying carolyne :)

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch (family)

Liked: We really enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful views and so peaceful. Shower, toilets and an outside sink set up which was handy. My grandkids loved the little playhouse too which was a lovely added bonus. The owner, Carolyne was so lovely and very accommodating which we were so happy about as it was my grandkids first time camping. We will definitely be back! 🌟

Local attractions

This area is laced with canals that make great places for walks or bike rides along the towpaths, especially if you can plan your route to take in a drink at a canalside pub along the way. A popular spot nearby is Foxton Locks (15 minutes’ drive), where you can go fishing or pond-dipping, take a walk on the circular trail and visit the canal museum. Boat trips run from here on summer weekends as well. There are several historic sites to visit nearby too, including the Naseby Battlefield (10 minutes), commemorating the famed battle of 1645. There are often events held in the lovely grounds of Stanford Hall (10 minutes), and the theatre at Kilworth House (five minutes) has a packed programme of shows and musical events. Also worth a trip nearby are the Armourgeddon Military Museum (five minutes), Mini Meadows Farm (five minutes), Coton Manor Gardens (15 minutes) and the King Richard III Visitor Centre and National Space Centre in Leicester (half an hour).
