Disliked: Taps don't allow water to run unless you continuously press them so very difficult to wash your face or hands at the sinks.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Great site, lots of open space , near a stream. Shop well stocked

Disliked: Manger very rude, asked to make a payment due to plugging my electric car in. Nothing in the site terms to suggest I was doing anything wrong. Not enough facilities, toilets / showers, no motorhome service point

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for leaving the review and I’m sorry you found me rude as I really didn’t think I was being rude. I was simply explaining to you that the hook ups are for the normal camping use not for charging electric vehicles the reason being that the cost to us in electricity to charge a car like yours could nearly exceed your pitch fee. In the past our guest have always asked if they could charge their car and always offered to pay an amount equal to the cost of the electricity they use these payment and as was your payment was collected on behalf of a local charity we are currently collecting for the Rutland House Community Trust. We will now be updating our T&Cs to include a policy on electric vehicle charging to ensure we are not taken advantage of in the future. Having researched it prior to the development of our campsite 5 years ago I believe we have much higher-than-average toilet and shower ratio to guest than average and to what is recommend by all the camping clubs and associations, however in view of your comments in this area we will monitor the use of the facilities a peak times to see if this needs adjusting. I’m a little confused as to how the lack of motorhome service point effected your stay as you weren’t staying in a motorhome but where in fact staying in a tent.

Excellent

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Brilliant location with Red kites soaring overhead. Did hear a Cuckoo's call from the nearby hedgerow. Loved being able to have camp fire pits. Space for multiple units to camp together, so worked well for our family reunion.

Disliked: No Elsan disposal available. Some pitches were a tad sloped, but wedges worked well.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: This was our 2nd stay and once again it didn’t disappoint. This place is beautiful and relaxing, with a stream running along the bottom of the field with rope swing's and a shallow area for the kids, adults and the dog to paddle around. Even when the place is fully booked it never seems to busy with plenty of green space to play, walk and socialise. The farm shop is well stocked with all your basics, incase you’ve forgotten something. It sells a selection of beers and wines and also has an on site butchery with fresh seasonal meats (sausages burgers etc. We had some venison burgers this time around and they were excellent. There is a frozen meat section also with a choice of roasting joints and venison steaks which we also took home with us.The shop also providesa good selection of coffees, hot chocolates etc. The site facilities are excellent also and very well maintained by Andy and Karen who live on site and are lovely and friendly. They are in charge of the day to day running of the site and are very accommodating with nothing being too much trouble. There is a large games tent with table football (free) and a table tennis table (balls are £1) and can be purchased at the shop. This is a working farm and the site has deer, goats and sheep literally in the field next to the pitches so kids can interact and watch them being fed by Roland (the owner) who is also very friendly. All in all I can’t recommend this place enough it has everything you’d want for a quiet relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings. We will definitely be back soon.

Local attractions

Osprey, teal, crested grebe… alongside the rich variety of feathered life in Rutland Water Nature Reserve, 10 minutes' drive away, there's trout fishing to be had, plus windsurfing, sailing, boat cruises on the Rutland Belle and miles of paths for hikers and bikers to explore. Even fans of invertebrates and reptiles are included, with 75 species of crawling, scuttling and slithering things at Bugtopia, accompanied by meerkats and racoon dogs. Castle fans and history buffs will be kept busy, beetling round the solid brickwork of 12th-century Oakham Castle (15 minutes' drive), the palatial Tudor pile of Burghley House (20 minutes) and the dungeons of Newark Castle (50 minutes). Newark’s National Civil War Centre and Air Museum make the town top of the list for time travellers. For a different sort of journey, drive 15 minutes to Wansford for a puff on the steam-powered Nene Valley Railway, or explore the universe at the National Space Centre in Leicester (50 minutes). A punt down the river in Cambridge, an hour away, makes a pretty fine way to see the city and its oldest colleges, while the various museums offer everything from polar exploration to Persian carpets to particle accelerators.
