Delightful spot in nature at its best

We have left this absolute gem of a site. I’ve given it too marks for peace and quiet, yes, there is the high speed train but it’s not that bad and in every other way the site is idyllic. A short walk to the canal full of bird life and edged by wonderful countryside. A couple of pubs in walking distance. The site itself has a large lake, a pond, the sites are hard standing with electric and water at the pitches. We had a deer visit, saw lots of bunnies and fell asleep listening to owls. Fabulous

Natural wooded site

We had visited a site nearby a few years ago and wanted to come back and explore the area more. Having looked up several sites we came across this one and after reading such good reviews decided to book. Well the reviews certainly did hold true and as everyone had mentioned we were met by George who really is very lovely and accommodating. We spent 4 nights here and found it very secluded and quirky and bigger than it appears. Other than the high speed railway which ran next to the site but you can tune this out it really was an idyllic nature reserve. Just a short walk you come to the canal where you can stroll along way along there and the walnut pub also not far. We were central to all the places we wanted to visit and the cost of staying was so cheap, well worth the visit and would definitely recommend coming.

Hidden Woodland Site

On our way to the New Forest we stopped at The Limes for just one night. Wished we were staying longer! George met us in our motorhome at the gate, even though we had been delayed, he showed us to our pitch and gave us lots of information on walks and local area etc. The site is much more than we expected, for the price of £10 with EHU and water, the large pitches are level and well spread amongst trees and meadows, we were on a hardstanding/grass pitch. The only drawback to this site is the sound of train line close by. If we are passing this way again we would definitely return here. Thank you George.

What a gem!

March 1st/2nd 2023. We arrived to be greeted by George, who could not have been a more helpful host. We followed him to our pitch through the trees to our secluded spot, noticing the nature that surrounded us as we went. After pointing out the water and electric points etc, George told us about the site and its walks and nearby points of interests before leaving us to set up and explore. The site is a nature haven, having a stream and lake and an abundance of nature amongst the trees and walkways that abound, with walks leading off site to the nearby Grand Union canal. Yes there was a busy railway line a few hundred meters from our pitch but did not present a problem to us at all as we did not find it particularly noisy, some might. There was evidence of deer and rabbit visiting the site and much birdlife/song. It is very tempting to make an early return in breeding season as the birdlife throughout the site is a real attraction and George is such a perfect host.

Brilliant!

We stayed for 3 nights in Oct 2022. The welcome we received was great. Taken to our pitch where there was a tap and rubbish disposal. Set in little glades it felt as if we were the only ones there. George is so hospitiableand pointed out things like walks, pubs etc. We will definitely return. Our ‘twig’ tv aerial was hopeless. But that added to the coziness!

Lovely site

We absolutely loved this site, already booked to return. Plenty of room on the pitch. Beautiful walks adjacent to the site and nearby to canal footpaths. Warm welcome from George , lots of local knowledge. Train line is a couple of fields away but didn’t bother us at all and isn’t an issue.

Great place to stay to visit Northampton

Had a lovely welcome from George the site warden, who showed us options of where we could pitch. The site is large and deliberately left to nature, with some areas where the grass is cut, to pitch. The price includes electricity, so is very good value for money. There is easy access by car to Northampton, and its a short walk through a meadow to The Walnut Tree Inn in Blisworth, which serves lovely food. I believe there is also another pub in Gayton Now that trains are back on schedule there is some train noise, but we didn't find it too disturbing. The approach roads to the site involve some narrow blind bridges, but the road traffic isn't too bad. Enjoyed staying there and intend returning.

Woodland Hideaway

We spent 5 nights at The Limes. As we have an 8ft wide caravan we phoned beforehand to check access. George couldn't have been more helpful and opened up a secondary access gate for us. George led us through to our pitch, down a tree-lined lane and the pitches are arranged so it feels very private. We were vaguely aware of the odd train passing, but nothing to disturb our stay or sleep. George is a huge asset to The Limes! He checks back to make sure you're pitched okay and gives good local knowledge for walks and places to eat, with a cheeky smile and banter thrown in for good measure. We had a fab stay and won't hesitate to return.

Darling little site

Lovely site, v secluded, lots of wildlife to watch and the pitches feel v private from each other. Some train noise as others have said but we didn't find it intrusive. Nearest pub in Gayton looks perm closed. The Greyhound pub and local shop in the opp direction are walkable (<2miles away), but the shop isn't especially well stocked - no eggs, cheese, papers etc the Sat we stopped by for supplies. Super close to the canal and a great base for walking and cycling through this lovely county.

Very friendly and helpful owner

We’d just picked up our caravan and wanted to see if everything worked. This site was roughly half way between our home & the dealership, ideal in case things went wrong! The site was easy to find and access was OK along the country lanes. The owner was very friendly & very welcoming, helped us to get set up and helpfully answered our newbie caravan pitching questions without complaint. The only criticism - and I’m probably being picky - is that we’d asked for a hardstanding pitch and were pitched on quite a soft patch of stone/ballast, but that worked for us as we could drive straight on/off. There was some noise from the railway, as other reviews had said, but that didn’t bother us. The site was basic, but, we didn’t want/need anything more as we wanted to be self-sufficient, so, was exactly what we wanted. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay. There are some nice walks along the nearby canal tow paths.
