  • Peaceful Leicestershire site on a rural hillside
  • Leicester city centre and Rutland Water both 20 minutes' drive
  • Easy access from A47; surrounded by tree belt for quiet and privacy
The centre of Leicester is only about a 20-minute drive from Fox’s Furrow – and yet this site’s immediate surroundings are properly peaceful and rural, with fields and natural countryside views all around. The beauty of all this, of course, is that you can have a nicely varied stay here if you like, perhaps pedalling along National Cycle Route 63 one day (it’s about a mile away) and then heading into the city to visit the National Space Centre the next. There’s a bus stop just under a mile away in the village of Houghton on the Hill if you’d rather travel by public transport. Also in the village are a couple of pubs, a village shop, a pharmacy and a fish and chip shop – all of it handily a short walk away across the fields (or a couple of minutes in the car). Getting in, out and all around should be straightforward here as the site is about a quarter of a mile from the A47; there’s no hint of the main road while on site, though, as the place has a very natural feel to it and is surrounded by a tree belt that provides plenty of privacy as well as acting as a home to local wildlife. In keeping with this rural setting, facilities have been kept to a minimum here – the essentials are covered, however, with a wifi connection, a washing-up area and toilet/shower facilities housed in a very stylishly decorated classic shepherd’s hut.

What customers say

A tranquil, well-kept rural spot. Praised for its top-notch, clean, and unique restrooms. Friendly owners are a highlight. Downsides: some sloped pitches, narrow spots for awnings, and occasional minor facility hiccups.

Liked Beautiful rural location.

Liked What a wonderful place to stay. The facilities are fantastic, particularly the toilets and showers. The hosts were quick to respond to our queries and requests. Peaceful and yet close enough to walk to the nearest village. We will definitely return.

Disliked Difficult to pitch our awning as the hard standing was raised from the grass.

Andy F.

Powered gravel RV campsite

Liked Lovely little site with possibly the cleanest showers and toilets we have came across.
A couple of pubs/Indian restaurant in the village an easy 25 mins walk for us mid 60 year olds by road (the main road has a pavement so no problem).
EHU worked fine for us. Extra long hosepipe supplied to make filling up easier.
We booked for one night but stayed for 2, happy days.
Owners eager to note of any problems/issuses and feedback so I am pretty sure they are willing to listen and rectify if they think necessary.
Would certainly stay again.

Disliked Leaving 😪

Local attractions

Getting out to see more of your rural surroundings should be easy enough here, as there are some great walks in the vicinity, along with those bike rides on National Cycle Route 63. Rutland Water (20 minutes’ drive) is another good place for a walk or a bike ride (there’s a path that goes all the way round the lake), and you can also play golf, try your hand at sailing or bounce across the inflatable aqua park. If the kids are keen to meet cute animals, head along to Windmill Farm Park (15 minutes) for indoor and outdoor animals, play areas and a café. Bird on the Hand Falconry Experiences (15 minutes) makes a great day out for those keen to get up close to the big birds. Over in Leicester (20 minutes) there are plenty of options for a day out (especially if you need rainy-day activities) – the city is home to the National Space Centre as well as the Retro Computer Museum and King Richard III Visitor Centre.
