This site was planned as a mid point stop over as we journeyed home after a 3 week, 8 site trip. Staying for two nights at the end of June, we found what proved to be one of the best sites we have used. Facilities kept to a high standard, efficient staff, and a village with all one needs for a great halt in your trip. We would never say for a long stay, but others there surely would, and were. Small site, very clean, with toilets and showers, sufficient to cater for pitches, but only just. This if any could be the only downside at busy periods of the day, but on the whole....first rate
Perfect as usual!!!!
Having spent five days here following the National,everything was as we have come to expect on Club Sites,the usual very high standard.
The wardens were as usual very friendly,and are coming to know us well as we use the site up to six times a year.
The site size is perfect for us and overall this is our favourite site on the network.Well done everyone,see you in two weeks when we visit for the Carole King Hyde Park Concert.
A very nice quiet & well maintained site
The Village of Ashwell is beautiful with 3 excellent public houses that all do excellent food. The village is about a 15 minute walk from the site. If you are in a motorhome and wish to visit Royston or Baldock then the public transport is very scarce only 2 buses a day. The railway station is about a 2 mile walk from the site. If you do manage to get the bus into Royston then the taxi fare back to the site will cost about £18.00 takes the pleasure out of it a bit.
But that said the site is beautiful well kept and the toilets and shower block are exceptional the site wardens are very helpful and work very hard on your behalf. Its well worth a visit.
Well worth a visit
Our first time here and stayed for 6 Days. We only noticed the turning at the last second and had to reverse up the road with caravan which was good practice but the site could be better signposted?
A nice tidy and pleasant quiet site with a long walk just at the top of the drive so great if you have a dog. Lots of birds singing with lots of activity round the bird table. We decided to go to the Stotfold Water Mill to buy some flour but on arrival found it only is open 2 days a month! Have to say not as impressed with Ashwell as I thought as not much to look at although watching cricket on the green was very pleasant and an impressive church. As others have said this is a good base and some were using the site as a base to work in London.
Excellent site, well worth a visit
This is a small site and is well located for Cambridge and the Letchworth areas. The facilities are of the usual club standard and the wardens are very friendly and helpful.
Nice little site in an interesting area
Visited this site second week of the Easter holidays and will return. Ashwell is a pretty village with three dog friendly pubs .Days out to Duxford and the Shuttleworth collection within 15 miles for the aviation buffs and of course Cambridge or Saffron Waldon for a general day out. The only reason I have reduced the rating for the site is the gents toilet was without any means for drying your hands the dryer out of action most of the week and no substitute paper towels - not to club standard.

Well worth a visit
We've stayed on this site in 2015 & returned this year as it's a very comfortable and peaceful place to stay. The toilet and shower block are spotless and heated and the grounds are beautifully kept. The Managers gave us a warm welcome (noticeably different to our first visit so perhaps we caught them on a bad day on that occasion). Ashwell is a delightful village with several good pubs within a 10 to 15 minute walk. We ate at the Rose & Crown and the Bushel & Strike & would recommend both. The latter has a more sophisticated menu but the food on both is a good standard. We'll be back!
A little Gem of a site
Great little site. Wardens are excellent. Site is looked after 100%..Must.mention The Rose and Crown in the village. Dog friendly and great traditional food. Booking a table.if.you have a dog is advisable. As it does get busy in the bar area at night. Pop in and say hi to Phil and Helen
Happy
Last weekend was my second stay at Ashridge Farm, so that is a recommendation in itself! The village is really lovely and there are lots of footpaths for explorers. We discovered the village museum which was full of interesting local history. The campsite is clean and tidy with everything you could need. I must give my special thanks to Graham who helped me to reverse on to my pitch (I'm new to caravanning) - Graham you are excellent! Following my second 'lesson' I had no trouble reversing into my tiny space in the storage yard!! This was especially good since several people were watching... phew.. my face is saved.. We will be back :-)

Three day caravanning
The wardens were excellent. Toilet/shower block is fantastic. We had hot showers and the partition from the shower area to leaving your belongings is great.I rate it 100 per cent/AAA.
I will recommend this site to anyone.
