This was our first trip out in our "New to us" caravan so we had no idea what to expect.
Booking was easy via email and we paid with cash (In an envelope through the owners door) but you can just as easily pay by bank transfer.
The owner was quick to respond by email to any queries we had and was pleasant to deal with.
We decided to park at the top of the hill as we prefer the view across the open countryside rather than down by the canal and also bearing in mind its open water we had our young grandson come to visit
.
Its a regular farm gate entrance which was fine for us but advise caution if you are towing a wide van (still ok to get through just take it slowly)
The field is huge with plenty of space so no issues there.
Water and electric hook ups all good (water is at the top of the hill but of course you'll be rolling downwards so that's no issue)
Plenty of information and contact details all on the gate,
Grey water and toilet disposal across the road from the gate so that was easy enough, bins were plentiful and hand sanitiser readily available.
Plenty of passing canal boats to watch, there are wild rabbits and a couple of kites flew over too. A swan family live in the area and are very friendly along with a population of mallard ducks
The whole field is rough cut so be prepared to walk grass everywhere (not an issue for us at all but might be a bother to some)
The local store at Weedon is less than five minutes by car.
The walks in the area are delightful and it would seem you can (when restrictions allow) hire a canal boat a few hundred yards up the road for a day.
Noise wise, we could hear the hum in the distance from the A road and the Motorway but to be honest its hardly noticeable. There was the odd car that went along the road aside the pitch but we didn't expect it to be silent so again not an issue to us at all and certainly nothing that would keep you awake at night.
The sunsets and sunrises here look amazing!.
Just a small note of caution there is a fair hill coming back up from the canal side pitches and we noticed a couple of times cars struggled (or failed) to pull back up the hill of course its grassy too so when wet it gets very boggy.... (well good luck there if you don't have a 4X4) Again I don't think this is in detriment to the site in any way which is amazing but it is something to bear in mind.
All in all this was a delightful site and we would love to return sometime soon.
