Why stay here ...
Grove Farm CL is a secure site located on a small farm in the beautiful Vale of Belvoir. We are an adult only site and welcome well behaved dogs. The site is half a mile from the Grantham canal ideal for walker and cyclists alike. There are several footpaths crisscrossing the area. Two good local pubs are within half a mile.
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.
The National Water Sports Centre, Trent Bridge Cricket Ground and Nottingham Forest Football Club is a 25 minute ride away. King Richard 111 Visitor Centre, Leicester Cathedral and the National Space Centre are within a 40 minute drive. The Loughborough Great Central Railway is a 25 minute drive away. Both Nottingham and Leicester have Park & Ride facilities.
The two local pubs are the Plough Inn at Hickling which is the nearest and the Neville Arms at Kinoulton which provides a greater specialist food experience.
On site we have a chocolatier with an attached coffee shop. A Plantsman Joseph and The Stackyard Farm Shop selling a range of local produce including bread & milk.

What a site, what service
Grove Farm CL
We stayed on this site in October on the way back from the Norfolk Broads. We thought that we had followed the directions but we took the first turning off the A46 travelling south signed Kinoulton, then we turned into Kinoulton Lane - sounds logical! Unfortunately this lane is plagued with potholes and we duly hit one and our motor mover jammed onto the nearside tyre. What now? We phoned the site and Chris came out immediately to help, saw what the problem was and went to get tools. He managed to get the motor mover off the tyre and reset it and then led us to his site. Now, you just don't get this level of service and help everyday and this was on the day after he had celebrated his Golden Wedding anniversary.
The site is excellent, we went on the hard standing round the back of the barn as there had been a lot of rain previously; that suited us fine as we were straight out onto the walks and our 2 dogs loved it. The views are great, the walks Chris gave us are very good. Chris was always around if needed. The CL proper (all grass) was well laid out, water to each pitch and well tended. We travelled around quite a bit and it is a lovely area; our daughter lives in West Bridgford and it was really quick and easy to get there.
We will certainly stay here again but we won't go down Kinoulton Lane again; A606 and into Hickling is the best way.
Thank you Chris for coming to our rescue and for keeping a truly excellent CL.

Brilliant!
Grove Farm CL
We stayed here for five nights over August Bank Holiday. We cannot fault and the place is a credit to Chris and Jan. We booked well in advance using email. We were answered promptly and efficiently. The week leading upto our stay and on arrival day Chris contacted us by text to check arrival times etc., all spot on.
When we arrived we were not on the main CL as we are a heavy motorhome, and Chris’ grass was far too immaculate for us to ruin. Chris guided us around to far side of greenhouse onto a hardstanding area but with grass, own tap and bins. Plus a little further back from road (not that it is busy or intrusive road), and lovely open countryside views, so we were delighted. We were near the car park for the Chocolatier cafe/shop, plant shop and newly opened farm shop but didn’t feel uncomfortable and not unduly bothered by these businesses. We could also watch the parachutes from Langar airport practising their jumps from planes.
Chris was an impeccable host, regularly checking up on us but not intrusive, offering home grown tomatoes and cucumbers. He was a star as he lent us a ladder to facilitate a repair we had to do. The toilet was spot on - immaculately kept and checked daily. Only thing to be aware the toilet is not right next to main CL field, and is a little walk to get to it.
The footpaths and walking opportunities in the area are extensive especially with the canal which we informed does go all the way to Nottingham one way, and Grantham the other. The Wharf cafe in the village is excellent, and also do yummy take out cakes too. Chocolatier is also well worth popping in. Farm shop was in its first week but lady who runs it farms in the village and is planning to get her own meat into shop soon. The bacon we did get was superb.
All in all as it says at top - brilliant- highly recommend.
A great cl
Grove Farm CL
Chris met me on arrival and made me very welcome. He sitedme on a hardstanding set in the grass not on the grassy cl which can be soft for a motorhome. Site information and maps were very helpful and visits were made to Hickling and Kinoulton. Footpaths were beautifully kept and well marked but there is not a short footpath to Kinoulton, but the road is quite quiet. Pubs in both villages worth a visit. There is a long path to Kinoulton via Hickling along the canal towpath.
It's a pity there isn't a better bus service but there's not much Chris can do about that.
Would have no hesitation visiting again or recommending to others.
The farm shop opened while I was there, very good, as is the tea room.
What a wonderful site
Grove Farm CL
Met by Jan and Chris with his hands full of information and maps of wonderful walks direct from the site. The very secure sight was kept in pristine condition, including the toilet and washing up facilities. Plenty of birds and wildlife about which we like to see. It was a bonus having the cafe next door and the little nursery! So glad we have found this site - we will definitely be returning for a longer stay when we are in the area again.
Excellent pristine well organised site
Grove Farm CL
