Hidden Hideaway

Gostou Great location! Out of the way with amazing views. Facilities were perfect, 2 separate bathrooms with toilet, sink and shower. Made it much easier to get ready than in shower cubicles. All facilities within short walk of all pitches. Ellie was lovely and felt very looked after. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Gostou Beautiful views, clean toilet and shower room, exceptional host. Animals around too which is amazing! This is a working farm so please be aware.

Ellie is so accommodating and gave us loads of tips of things to do, places to eat etc. You can even ask to see the tractors and be shown the farm.. great education for kids. Fire pits can be hired and wood purchased.

Ellie was even kind enough to lend us an electric hook up as ours broke on arrival. Such a small gesture but made our stay better.

The farm dogs, Fern and Bracken are an absolute joy.. beautiful dogs who love fuss but are also very respectful of you if dogs are not your thing.

The chickens think the lane is theirs so be careful on arrival and departure.. afterall, it is their home!! You are just a visitor.

We plan to visit again next season.. absolute 5* site for a peaceful and relaxing stay

Thank you Ellie 😊

Gostou Great pitch sizes, lovely toilet and shower blocks in a wooden cabin, playground area for the kids and a lovely view.
Ellie was in touch regularly and popped over to see us each day to check on how we were and if we needed anything.
Will absolutely be going back next year!

Gostou Stunning views, large flat pitches

Não gostou Road through the farm yard not the best, owners dogs wondering free constantly trying to go in the tents and begging for food.

Gostou Large pitches, electric included in price, central graveled access to all the pitches, rural location, minimal road noise if any. Friendly welcoming owners. Clean toilet/sink/shower cabin + washing up station and freezer. Everything you need.

Não gostou This isn't really a dislike but the drinking water tap to the side of the shower cabin isn't in a very convenient location for filling up the on board water tank on most campervans unless you have a very long hose or drive your van onto the adjacent pitch. A tap on a free standing post closer to the driveway would be better. Luckily I had brought my own water and didn't need to fill up during my two night stay.

Gostou Very peaceful considering it is a working farm. The toilet block and washing area were impeccably clean and everything worked as it should.
There were only 3 out of 10 pitches full during our stay which was a great pity. This delightful little site deserves more visitors. A beautiful rural area with some really nice walks in the local area and local villages.
The primary reason for our visit was to observe the eclipse and to look out for the Perseid Meteor shower and 6 planet parade. The sky is far darker than home but Leicester, Loughborough and Market Harborough give off a glow at low level. Nontheless we saw an amazing display of stars, shooting stars and satellites.
Loads of wildlife to observe, we watched groups if Hares at dawn each morning. Ospreys, Red Kites, Buzzards Barn Owls all put in an appearance as did Swallows, Swifts, Lapwings, Linnets and many more.
We will be back to this lovely little site, hopefully it will have returned to green grassland and recovered from the drought.

Não gostou Nothing to fault here.

Gostou Huge pitch & a 6m gap to the next pitch.
Clean toilets/showers.
Peaceful, other than a 5.45am wake up from dozens of mooing cows being moved (only 1 of our 2 night stay). Is a working farm.
Nice friendly owner.

Não gostou Would be nice if fridge had freezer section for freezer blocks for coolboxes.
No real shade, so bring a gazebo.

Gostou Peaceful setting
Fast response to any issues
Was happy for us to have friends over for the day

Não gostou Showers went from freezing to dangerously hot (especially for children) and just dripped when other taps weee on

Very, very windy!

Owners dogs were free to roam which for us was fine as we have dogs (although not with us) but may not suit all campers. They were very friendly but not sure I agree with campers dogs having to be on lead at all times when owners dogs were free to roam. If we weren’t there to keep an eye the dogs would have been in the tents!

Gostou Great toilets and showers,hot water,no road noise,all you could hear was the birds and farm animals which was great.Fantastic views and walks.The owner is very helpful and friendly,was left a tool to help me remove my tent pegs as the ground was very hard as there had been no rain for several days.
Great little campsite.

Não gostou Only thing was that it got a bit windy,but that cannot be helped being in a field in such a flat area!Also network reception was a bit hit and miss.
