We had never been to this site before although we had been in the area. Really good access to the site, I had read some reviews which said the first part of the single road to the site was bumpy but it turned out to be a very short section and it really wasn’t that bad! Really easy access to the site, there are some log cabins nestled behind trees and bushes sitting next to a large lake. As we drove up to the CL site you pass the rally site, only 5 caravans/motorhomes allowed and right next to a lake, the CL site was a little further on, again next to another lake, really beautiful surroundings, there is a fairly newly planted woods which you have full access to belonging to the forestry commission for public use. The CL site was very well served, the electricity supply is 16 amps so we were not forever tripping it out! There was a water tap between 2 of us, we had a double connector so was able to be plumbed straight in as was our neighbour. Just a short walk away was the toilet disposal point and dustbin (no recycling facility just the 1 dustbin). The CL site was big enough that you were not all bunched together with lovely views from the caravan. There is also a gravel path in front of the caravans and although we had some heavy rain we were able to pull our caravan out without getting stuck. I think the rally site maybe a little bit more boggy as it is lower.
There are several lakes scattered around and there is fishing available for the lodges and caravans, also day fishers but despite this it was very peaceful and tranquil.
I believe the owner does drive round at times so you can pay him directly, we walked up to the farm house and paid directly, just to note the bungalow you pass as you enter the site is not the farmhouse, that is further on, the farmhouse is straight ahead and the rally and CL sites are off to the left.
There are plenty of places in the local area to visit. We had fish & chips one night from Cottesmore (Approx 3 - 4 miles) which we would highly recommend, we also had Sunday lunch in the same village at the Sun Inn, we had an excellent meal, helpful, friendly staff and lovely quaint surroundings, again can highly recommend.
We could not really fault anything, in these difficult Covid 19 times we had a relaxing break and felt safe in all the establishments we visited.
