Simple rural site
Basic CL with hardstanding level pitches with EHU and water. No showers or toilet. Did not see the owners so transferred payment.

A Perfect CL
Only stayed one night but would happily have seated for much longer. This site is excellent in every way and the owners take great pride in its upkeep. Strongly recommended.
Exceptional
Must say what a well thought site this if only more sites want up to this standards, water point on pitch, pitches level no blocks required , owner and company workers very friendly and the elan point and recycling facilities very clean and tidy, one point to note when turning into site it's a sharp right and not up the farm track
Very well thought out Cl
The pitches here are spacious and well laid out with water taps on site and very well maintained facilities to gether with a small information hut. The site owner allocates your pitch and it is written on the board at the entrance which is wide and has easy access and is a very easy tow from the M1. I wasn't sure that I wanted to be told which pitch I had to have but as there isn't anything to choose beween them it didn't matter. They are all level, in full sun with no shade on site. The owner is friendly and helpful and his cows provide a bit of entertainment each day going to and fro past the site gate to be milked. The only downside for us, and I am surprised no one else has mentioned it, was that after milking it can be smelly for half an hour or so. We had to come in and shut our windows. Apart from that it is a lovely site in a lovely area.
Super CL
Just spent a wonderful weekend on this super site. Very spacious pitches with own tap. Lovely surroundings.
Easy short drive to Hardwick Hall and lots more in the area.
Owners vey accommodating when we asked to leave at 3pm - as no one else booked on our pitch - we could.

Beautiful site.
Lovely little CL with large hardstanding pitches well spaced out. Own tap and electric hook up and everything else on site really well thought out. Excellent walks from site across fields to join the Five Pits Trail. Lots of things to do in the area, and plenty of local pubs. Only downside is how busy and fast the country lane is! Really surprised us as no-one else had mentioned. Really not safe to walk along as narrow and no footpaths so we used our car to go to the laybay just down the road. Other than that, fantastic site!
Great pitches
We booked this site for an overnight stop on our way south but I would have liked to have stayed longer. The pitches are large and well spaced out, being hard standing within a grassy field next to a working farm. It was so convenient to have a fresh water supply to our pitch as well as the usual electric. We were given clear guidance for our arrival on site which we found reassuring. It is a great stopping off point if travelling north or south as it is close to the M1.

A Brilliant CL
What a gem of a CL. The entire location was in perfect order from the notification board at the entrance indicating your pitch location to the grey and black waste disposal facilities. The grass was short and therefore did not present any problems when manoeuvring a vehicle. The small incline at the entrance was prepared with mesh and gravel to aid traction and prevent damage to the grass area. The entrance is of sufficient length to accommodate an SUV and twin axle van to create a waiting area so as to not cause a hazard to other road users. Obviously a lot of thought has been given to all aspects of the site. Along with individual EHU and water to each pitch it was a model CL. We had originally booked for 2 nights but were so impressed we managed to extend our stay for a further 2 nights. Would have stayed longer if all the pitches had not been booked. We will definitely be returning sometime in the not too distant future.

Great easily accessible site - stayed for one night only as en-route up north but will certainly
Great stop off - close to M1. Immaculate site and excellent communication with owners. Highly recommend.
A superb site - highly recomended
This was the first CL I have visited and I couldn't have asked for anything more, from the initial contact for booking through to closing the gates on leaving everything is first class and well thought through to make the stay as pleasurable as possible.
