Ease of arrival/welcome

Disappointed attitude of owners

Never ever made a review before, but felt necessary to share our poor experience with others. Booked to meet caravan friends and appalled at farmer and wife's rude abrupt attitude. No welcome or explanation of facilities location etc. Called to meet owners and instead of a welcome was told, 'that will be £80' with hand held out. No hello etc. When I went to pay the farmer threw the cheque back and said "oh bugger! I want cash". When explained I didn't have the cash he said "go to cashpoint then" and slammed the door. Constant noise which turned out to be air drier machinery operating from 8am to 8.30pm and tractors engines left running the opposite side of a hedge spilling out fumes. Not relaxing at all. Owner also made statement of "where are you putting the rubbish waste" when I was disposing of a very small rubbish bag into rubbish bin . Being told, "can't you take it home since the bin isn't very large". We explained, no, not when we were staying for 5 nights! We felt this was very unreasonable. We feel they shouldn't be in hospitality! Lovely location but not restful on site. We left a day earlier for some peace and quite. Won't be returning again.

We arrived for 5 nights stay, meet-up with our caravan friends. 

Upon arrival there was no introduction, no hello or smile, or information, just a curt ( that will be £80 ) before I had even sited the caravan on the field. 

It is a working farm, however, the caravan site boundary is immediately behind a hedge where the tractor was parked and left running at 8.30 pm. Diesel fumes coming through the hedge and into the caravan. 

  Not a peaceful quiet site as the crop dryers were on - harvest time September.

Pretty views of Rutland Water.

Oakham was a car journey of approximately 4 miles. 

We left after 4 nights, having paid for 5.  

Not a relaxing quiet stay. Won’t return, will look for somewhere else. 

We knew it was a working farm, but did not realise that the caravan site would be so very close to the machinery.
