Very clean and level pitches, facilities first class a fantastic site, very clean and well maintained. Will definitely be back

Nothing

nice quiet site with very well appointed toilets and showers. Lovely location and the Alpaca was cute.

Visitor restrictions and other rules were a bit strictly adhered to.

hard standing was rock hard. need to have rock pegs. hardest base Ive ever had to put pegs into.

The site was absolutely gorgeous, great location, peace and quiet but not far from shops or restaurants.
The hosts were very friendly and welcoming.
I would definitely recommend staying here!
The lodges were fully equipped with everything you need. It was lovely waking up to see the horses and alpacas.

There was quite a few cobwebs in the lodge (to be expected when In a lodge in a field)

Peaceful, Views, space, shower block. Right under flight path to airport, so lots of plane spotting.

Good central area with good roads. Short drive to local village with most things you would require

I blow hot and cold as to whether I would recommend this site or, indeed, if I would choose to return. As I write, the answer is yes, particularly if I was on a hard standing. However, the review questions, belo insist I say yes or no, so the answer must be no to recommending it. A pity, because many would enjoy it.

Right under flight path to airport could be troublesome to some.

Entry to site is very confusing; 2 entrances are close together; take the wrong one and you’ll get a lot of reversing a caravan practice. A passing cyclist helped me reverse out, telling me quite a few people find it confusing. Spoke to owner about it; not interested.

Grass pitch not level.

Quite strict rules using words like forbidden, etc. I would like to say he was friendly as I am sure he was trying to be.

If you take a grass pitch, be prepared to be asked to park your car a short walk away on hard standing.

Nice clean site with ten spacious pitches. Lovely surroundings with good dog walking and exercise areas on site and the Horses and Alpacas are great addition. East Leake is a nice large village with four pubs and plenty of eating options and only a 30 minute walk from the site either via a bridle way or a quiet road. Will definitely be back !

Nice countryside, pitch a good size with EHU and water.
Dog walk area available.
Showers and toilet spotless.

Welcome very unfriendly, we travel a lot to campsites and this is one of the worst welcomes we have received. List of “ Don’ts”
One of the owners passed by shortly after arriving and questioned if we’d checked in at reception which we had and who said we go on that pitch! Felt like we were doing something wrong. No hello or welcome!

We had chosen the site as it was near to our relatives, who came by to pick up us up for the afternoon/evening. The owners promptly turned up when they arrived and told them they had to leave immediately, no visitors allowed. As stated in the website apparently. On checking it wasn’t clear on the booking page and website states that it is great site for visiting family in the area. Can’t park on site and can’t visit at all!

We asked if they could stay 20/30 mins as we were still pitching they wanted to help before we went off the site together and were clearly told no!
No flexibility or understanding of individual situation.
We were told the site was full and it was a strict policy but everyone was out so not sure what the harm was. They could see we were pitching up, all had tent pegs and sorting out the awning.
On day of leaving was questioned by the cleaner as to if I was having a shower, as she had just cleaned them! ( 8.40am) made to feel I shouldn’t be having one.

This could have been a very different experience if the owners were more customer focused, friendly and caring. That is what makes people return.

Lighting and signage to the toilets poor, and shale difficult to walk on.
On a flight path too so very noisy. Bins and waste a long way from the pitch.

Could have forgiven all of that if the owners behaved differently and returned when visiting family but definitely won’t be returning!

Easy check-in, well spaced out pitches, easy to find and well located close to the village. Toilets and showers were very clean and well maintained. Quiet location with the friendly alpacas close by.

Nothing, we had a great short break

Arrived after informing the owner we would be late and we were given pitch 2. No problems pitching up in the dark and had a restful first night. We were on the go early next morning and left the pitch with no problems. Loved the clean shower/toilet rooms. We were only needing the site as a stop over so it served us well both nights.

Only downside to this site is the direct flyover for the airport which can’t be helped obviously. I had great fun with the flight radar app identifying the planes and where they had come from but our nervous dog wasn’t so keen.

Toilet, shower facilities looked good but we never used them.

Constant noise from aircraft directly above ( slow low they had wheels down ready to land ) and trains!

The facilities are absolutely fabulous! So clean and warm with lots of hot water.
The hardstanding pitches are very level side to side which meant we only had to level the van front to back.

The chemical toilet disposal is a bit far, but it also means its not by your pitch.
