House Finch
Leacroft
What a gem of a site. Used it as a overnight stop but wanted to stay longer almost immediately. Nice and secure site, very peaceful with lots of birds. Saw for the first time ever a House Finch by side of camper.
Our booking with Mr Prat by phone was quick and easy, and good directions to locate entrance. It was only about 13 miles from Dartford but so rural. Definitely one for the return visit!

Very peaceful site.

Stayed for three days to attend our daughters dance show in Basildon. Only our second stay away since getting our Moho. Very quiet spot among the horse paddocks with just the sounds of nature. All facilities as described with absolutely no complaints. Will definitely be booking further stays.

I stayed on this site a few weeks ago with my dogs for 2 nights. The site is ideal for a few days away (or for a longer stay) in the lovely historic village of Horndon on the Hill. There are 2 Pubs in the village, a butchers, a small village shop selling groceries and a post office. The Bell pub allows dogs in. They serve very nice beer and food. There is a village church and a Woolmarket building that is a few hundred years old. A short walk from the site over a footbridge is Stanford Le Hope Station with trains to Leigh on Sea, Southend on Sea, Thorpe Bay and Shoeburyness and London and good road links to these places once you are well away from the village. There is a bus service but you would need to check out the times. If you look online you will find lots of things to do in the surrounding areas. I saw the owner of the site, a very nice and helpful man and he lives beside the site which is handy. There are nice views from the site.The site has a toilet and wash basin. I used the facilities in my caravan as it is easier, but it is handy that the site has a toilet. Really lovely site that I will be returning to. The price is very good. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Nice little site.

Nice little site, some sound from the A13 Road noise, but it did not bother us! Two pubs near by, with food. There is a toilet on site, we did not use it so no comment on that, also the field is level. We will be returning.
Another lovely stay at lovely Leacroft

I love this site as it is not too far from where i live for a couple of nights away (or longer if you wish) and It is in the lovely historic village of Horndon on the Hill. This is my favorite site for a short break. The owners are great. Many thanks for providing such a nice site.
