Tophouse Farm

Why stay here ...

Set in rural Nottinghamshire, yet just 5 miles north of Nottingham City Centre, Tophouse Farm Club CL is a back to basics haven. The site is 0.75 acres and is a flat, well-drained grass site. There is one hard standing pitch and four grass, all with 360 degree rural views. Each pitch is divided by a small copse of trees and planted with snowdrops and daffodils and with a small bluebell wood in the middle of the site. Each pitch has its own bird table and nest box to encourage the local wildlife.

Access is through a 25 foot wide double gateway off a privately owned tarmac farm lane. This quiet CL is surrounded by farmland and overlooks horse paddocks to two sides with magnificent views of the recently converted Victorian Bestwood Pumping Station, now comprising private fitness facilities with a public bar and restaurant just 600 yards away.
