Lovely quiet site , spacious pitches with gorgeous views. Great for dogs, you can walk across the field to the village where there's a nice pub. Staff were so helpful and friendly. |Just one point, it would have been useful to know you need a pound coin for the showers.|Highly recommend.

A lovely clean, quiet site in a picturesque part of Leicestershire. We never ventured into town just chilled out on the field all weekend. Definitely going back here as it's only 40 mins from us. I think we've found our local "go to"! Loved it.

A great place to camp or caravan. All pitches have water and electric. The place is high on top of a hill with great views. At night it can get a little chilly and windy. All staff are very friendly and the cafe is well worth a visit, all cakes are made on site, by young staff. We will visit again . Showers and toilet block has central heating and there is disability parking.

Have used this campsite for five years and thought very reasonable with stunning views and generous hard standing pitches with electric. The Farm Shop and cafe are a huge asset and very popular with our family. …

A lovely warm welcome and really nice clean facilities, excellent farm shop with a cafe on site too. All the pitches are either grass or hard standing and all with electric hook up as well. Every pitch is perfectly flat, my only gripe is £1 for a shower granted this gives you 10 mins, but come on at £35 a night the showers should be included.

Lovely surroundings and the perfect little countryside, tea room. The ladies behind the counter know about their products and are delightful to talk to. The little tea shop is often open during the week and also sells lovely jams, handmade cards and some knickknacks that are good for presents.

4/5
Nice site with good facilities and views, only negative thing was the £1 charge for a (short) 4 minute shower. In reality £30 a night is very close to Caravan & Motorhome Club rates, where everything is included. There was no mention anywhere or by anyone, even at reception or on any literature that showers were extra, and 4 minutes isn’t really long enough for a female particularly. Almost as if they didn’t want you to know til you were paid up and on site. Came across as a little stingy and spoiled what would have been a 5 star review. Otherwise, a decent site in a good location.
