Excellent site and staff

We stayed here for a long weekend with our 3 dogs. Fabulous location and great walks from the door of your caravan. We found the Jurassic Way on our last day and will return to explore further as loved it being a bit more off the beaten track than the forest walks. We felt really safe - we were impressed that there was sanitising spray near the service points to ensure taps etc were kept clean (the 2 previous CC sites we visited did not have this). The wardens were very friendly and kept the site immaculate.

A true delight

Have just spent 9 wonderful nights at this picturesque and immaculately kept site. The warden was very welcoming, friendly and obliging and he looked after the site with great care and attention. The mixture of hardstanding and grass pitches gives you choice and the service points were well positioned. The new rules (covid) were clearly marked and sanitising facilities were readily available. In recent years we have been less inclined to worry about toilet blocks and even more so at the present and as the site was very popular I think many others obviously feel the same. No better endorsement to say than 'we will be returning'.

Basic, but well-maintained Club Site

Our first use of the van since lockdown restrictions were eased - hallelujah ! The site is easy to find and, although the access road is single track mostly (it also leads to the Forestry Comission site), there are lots of passing places. There is a nice little cafe at the Forestry Commission building and many walks from the site, so our dogs were more than happy. No shower / toilet block, so it's your own facilities. The site was almost full when we were there for 2 nights, but still felt quiet. The wardens are very pleasant and helpful - check out their blackboard for daily musings (you'll understand what I mean when you get there !). Our hardstanding pitch was only just big enough for a 7.92m twin axle van and, although reasonably flat, did need levelling at the rear (the wardens have a large supply of wooden blocks for guests !) The site operates a one-way driving system which can lead to an issue when a number of outfits leave at the same time, as happened to us on a Thursday morning. The motorhome service point is near the exit - although it has enough room for a car and van to drive past by the service point, if you have a queue of 3 motorhomes waiting to drain their grey waste, as we did, you probably won't be able to pass and may have a bit of a wait ! We were in no rush, so it wasn't a problem, but bear it in mind if you need a quick getaway and the site is busy. Overall, a very relaxing few days at this lovely Club Site that is about a 7 mile drive from Stamford centre.

Excellent Site

Had a lovely stay here early October. Initially booked for 3 nights but extended to 7. Staff were extremely friendly & welcoming. The dog walks are fantastic. Unless you decided to go off the tracks, the paths are gravel/tarmac which is a massive plus keeping you and your dog free from mud, particularly this time of year! I loved this site, and will be back next year. Anne & Barney (Yorkie).

Very pleasant and peaceful site

We enjoyed four pleasant days at this site in early October. The site is clean, tidy and well looked after and the site wardens are very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back again.

Lovely Stamford

Great site in a lovely picturesque area , easy to access from the east Midlands via A52 /A1. Fineshade woods with walking trials are excellent with a super variety of walks suitable for everyone , the cafe on site is extremely good also. The amount of wildlife is in abundance especially the number of red kites . Stamford is a shoppers dream & is only 15 minutes drive away , the Georgian buildings make this town a pleasure to visit. We throughly enjoyed our week's visit & will return next year for sure. Lovely , peaceful well kept site & the relief wardens were excellent also.

First trip

This was our first outing with our new to us van. We received a lovely cheerful welcome. After pitching up all set up we were informed that we were pitched the wrong way. This was my mistake being a newby. We said that we were willing to turn the van in the right direction. But no the pitches were rearranged to accommodate my mistake. The staff were so helpful. We were impressed with the peace and tranquility the site had to offer. I think we will become regular visitors here.

Brilliant

A great site, well kept and with super people running it. Shortly after arrival a massive gust of wind took our canopy off its mountings and over the motorhome. Paul and Ginny were brilliant, we managed to save the situation getting the canopy down from the roof and stored away. The site is well kept and is a testiment to their care and attention. If you dont enjoy this venue then you are in the wrong place. If you go into Stamford, be sure of where the best parking is for your vehicle. On the Saturday morning they held a Macmillian Cancer coffee morning, yet still had time to assist stowing the canopy into the van, they desrved to have made a great conrtibution to a magnificant cause. Well done. Anthony Richards - West Midlands

Great site

Great little site in a brilliant location with access to the forest and the miles of well marked walking and cycling routes, my dog was in heaven. The site is close to lots of very picturesque villages, quite a few within walking distance and also just a short drive from Rutland water which is worth a visit. On site the wardens couldn't have been friendlier they were there to welcome us in and certainly helped make our stay enjoyable always finding time for a quick chat and to offer help and advice. The day my grandchildren visited the wardens made them very welcome and even got them all doing a treasure hunt around the site which they loved. Just outside the site there is an adventure play area which is accessed via the forest trails so its safe as there's no roads to cross and there's also a children's park and café in the NT site next door. I have read comments about weeds growing on the hardstanding pitches I never noticed any on the hardstanding pitches near us and although we had a grass pitch the wardens worked tirelessly to keep the site in tiptop order We would definitely recommend this site tor both families and also to people wanting a quiet break and we will be returning again sometime

2019 Season

This site is close to home and therefore used by Fiona and I regularly. This year has been the best experience on this site because of the care taken by the wardens. The grounds are great with the better weather.The garden that has been created by Gill and Paul are an oasis of calm. The once busy cut through has been tended and improved. The little trail for children has been well received. The biggest bonus has been the dog wash which has been a godsend. The care and attention to detail provided by these wardens is the best we have experienced. Their positive and cheery attitude enhances any length of time spent at the site. The site location is excellent for dog walking or slowing the pace of life.
