Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, England
Electric grass touring pitch (members only)
Liked Fabulous small site that we really can't fault. This was our first time in Lincolnshire and after our experience here we will be back and stopping at The Grange.
The owners were very friendly and helpful, even to the point of calling us before we left to let us know that they would be at a wedding but to make ourselves at home and pick a pitch we liked.
There is a lovely walk around the farm and the farm airstrip is great when they flying their microlights from it.
It is lovely and quiet, with just the sound of birdsong often being the background sounds.
Disliked Not really a dislike but this is a working farm and there will be farm traffic occasionally going to and from the barns next to the caravan pitches, and while this did not cause any problems at all, they do start work early sometimes, one day at about 5:30 in the morning. This is necessary of course, and I'm just mentioning it so no-one is surprised when woken early by a tractor.

From the manager: I think this early start was when the crops were sprayed in May, which has to be done when there is no wind in Spring. Luckily it is only a few times a year but thankyou for your consideration. There maybe an odd later night in harvest where tractors go past but mostly it remains a quiet site :)
Paxton, Berwickshire, Scotland
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Lovely natural pitches with water and electric hook-up very near by. The walled garden only takes about 30 vans so it is never over-run and crowded.
All the staff are very friendly and helpful and the grounds of Paxton House are wonderful to walk around, with them being well set up for dogs as well as people.
Access to the River Tweed was a bonus and our dogs loved being able to paddle in the water on hot days.
Both the toilets/shower rooms are well spec'd with easy access for everyone.
Paxton House is perfectly positioned to visit The Borders and Northumberland with so much easily accessible. Berwick-Upon-Tweed is ideal for stocking up as it has plenty of food stores, supermarkets and a wide range of other stores. It's ideal for walks around the walls or following the Lowry Trail around the town.
Access to the site is easy and the pitches well spaced out. It's lovely and quiet both day and night, the only noises usually being the birds and wildlife. We have even seen some deer on a walk through the forest and a seal in thew Tweed.
