The site is an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area  being sited between Nottingham, Leicester and Melton Mowbray. We are twenty minutes from Melton, the rural food capital of the East Midlands, with it's famous Stilton Cheese and Pork Pies.

Safe and quiet

Grove Farm CL
Unfortunately I was on my own for this trip as hubby was working so I needed somewhere I felt safe and this little CL exceeded my expectations. Great communication and a warm welcome from Chris. Lovely little paddock with free WIFI, running water and EHU, totally secure with easy access to the fields for dog walking, the tearoom/ chocolaterie, well stocked farm shop, plant nursery and a caravan club only loo! Adults only so no kids running about. Thoroughly enjoyed my 4 nights and I will most definitely be back to enjoy more peace and tranquillity, might even bring the hubby! Highly recommend the lovely little CL.

Gem of a site

Grove Farm CL
This is a gem of a site, but don’t tell anyone! Lovely setting in beautiful countryside. Well marked walks from site through local fields, to Hickling and along the Grantham canal. Great local pub (The Plough) in walking distance. Quiet, peaceful good for dog walking. Incredibly friendly and helpful owners. Farm shop and small chocolatier next to site. Own water, electric and free wifi. We’ve been to many sites big and small but this has become our favourite to escape and recharge our batteries !!

A brilliant little site

Grove Farm CL
Peace - wonderful views across the fields. Fantastic high quality farm shop and cafe onsite. Chris the owner is really helpful and a font of knowledge. Plough Inn just half mile walk down the road (opposite Wharf cafe which serves really good breakfasts). Also start of the Grantham Canal tow path which is brilliant for safe cycling. The site itself is very level, electric hookup cable provided makes it so easy, tap at the bay and also 2 bins for recycling/general waste. There is a single toilet and washing facility which could do with refurbishing and cleaning up. No shower. Easy reach of a fantastic wild flower nursery and close to Cropwell Bishop Creamery and cafe. All in all a brilliant place to get away for a few days relaxation.

Another Peaceful Break

Grove Farm CL
This was our second visit to this lovely peaceful site All your amenities are on your pitch even 2 bins 1 for recycling There is a great farm shop on site with great local produce, and has essential s if you forget anything There’s an excellent chocolatier cafe on site also which we always patronise Chris the owner gives you an array of local walks direct from the site with some of them encompassing the local Grantham canal, which is disused but because of this it is teeming with wildlife and wild flowers, plus the path is in great condition This has become one if not our very favourite site, well done to the owners!

Peace and Tranquility

Grove Farm CL
Such a peaceful site, we were the first outfit this year to pitch on grass. We had a view of sheep in the field next door, each pitch has their own water tap . Chris is always about and is very helpful. The Cafe/ Chocolatier next door and Farm Shop are very useful. There are 2 dog walks direct from site across the fields, with maps/ directions provided. All in all an excellent site which we will use again if we are in the area.
