Booked Flaxlands as I wanted a site convenient to the motorway enabling us to break our journey home, but would not take us out of our way too much so we could re-join our journey home quickly, while at the sometime being near to National Trust and other sites of interest. This site was perfect for both. I had checked the proximity of the site to the motorway on maps before booking therefore the motorway noise was an expected consequence of our decision. However in comparison to another site we stayed at just as near to the motorway on our way to our holiday destination we felt this site was far superior. The pitches are in an elevated position providing not only great views over the lakes but the surrounding area (not facing the motorway unlike the previous site). Clean and well serviced throughout the whole site. Over the 2 nights during our stay we enjoyed watching the really stunning July sunsets over the countryside and pleasant walks in the morning and evening around the lakes. On arrival we were given a warm welcome, good information pack including places to visit and distances. We we advised the toilets were only open when the fishing site is open and given times, closed in the evening/night unless there is a pre booked night fishing session. The site is gated and locked at night (key provided). We would certainly stay at Flaxlands again.
