Fra bestyreren: Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Ashley. It was a pleasure to host you, and we hope to see you again in future.

Likte Loved it! Had a couple of clear and helpful emails from the owner prior to staying, one of which was to inform us of a horse event happening during our stay, and giving us the option to switch days should we wish. (We didn’t).
The owner even walked up in the afternoon to introduce himself, and ask if we needed anything during our stay.
The pitch is huge, probably large enough to get one of those American type motorhomes that have extending sections.
The ground is flat, and well compacted gravel, so you’ll need a good ham,met for putting up awnings. There’s a gate as well so you’re nicely secured.

Very easy to get to from the A14Jcn2 at welford, thus making it a perfect overnight stop in the midlands if one was making a long trip across country.


The facilities are fresh water only, so dont expect shower facilities etc.

Overall very peaceful with great walks along the canal in either direction.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks very much for leaving such a comprehensive review. It was a pleasure to meet you, hope to see you again in future :-)

Likte Is a single gravel pitch remote from anywhere with just a water tap. Van needs to have its own facilities but fine for a short stay.

Likte ikke Very tight entrance and not suitable for a large van. No clear markings or reception to indicate is is a caravan site.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for the review Kelly, it was a pleasure to meet you and your lovely dog.

Sorry about the fishing - you should have dropped me a text, and I'd have brought the strimmer down! Drop me a text if you choose to visit again and I'll make sure it's all good to go.

Have a lovely summer

Likte Quiet and peaceful

Likte Great location, very peaceful and a lovely gravel pitch.
Right next to the Grand Union Canal for a walk and to watch the boats.
The Owners were very friendly and helpful through email and phone.
Will definitely be returning in the near future if available

Likte Private quiet area, running cold tap and the very friendly hosts. The host allowed us to stay longer as we had car issues and even let us borrow some tools

Likte ikke Nothing, it was perfect

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for the review Kimberley, glad you got your maintenance issue sorted. Hope to see you again in future 😊

Likte Beautiful private 1 pitch site. Nice helpful owner. We only had 1 night and would have liked to stay longer.
Not advised if you don't have a caravan motor mover. Beautiful canal walk. As you go through the gate park your car in the middle.

Fra bestyreren: You booked for 4 people, but turned up with 5.

Your party was rude, noisy, and left 3 large bags of rubbish behind, despite clear instructions to take everything away with you.

You turned up without any toilet facilities, despite the ilsting making clear that we did not offer any.

You drove your camper van down a pathway, then despite asking you to stay away from the Lodge areas, the 5 of you wandered through our garden area later the same day, making lots of noise.

The listing makes perfectly clear that this is hard-standing pitch, but despite that, one of your group expected me to know that you were bringing tents. I offered you a full refund at that point, which you refused.

I see that you've rated cleanliness as 1 - I'm curious how you think I can make a 3 acre wildflower meadow cleaner.

I am glad you have stated that you wouldn't stay here again - please don't ever come back.
