This site ought to be a splendid one, given its proximity to Rutland Water and the views. That's the good bit. Prepare to be treated as though you are very tiresome when you ring up- the owner is very abrupt! She will not come round to see how you are getting on either. Very unfriendly. Our first issue was the fact that there are deep ruts running across the field and we damaged our caravan as it bottomed when going over one. The grass was unacceptably long too. It is a working farm but workers very loud and shout a lot. Disposal point disgusting and a bit of a health hazard. We wouldn't go there again even for the lovely view. This site needs to get its act together. That said, we made the most of it and had a lovely week.

Comment from the CL Owner:

Dear Bookworms,

Thank you for your review. We would like to clarify some of the information you have detailed. 

Firstly we apologise if you were offended by our phone manner, we do always try to give friendly concise detailed information about possible stays at Armley Lodge Farm.

We do request that all patrons call at the farmhouse on arrival, where they are greeted and shown how to access and park on the site. 

The field does not have any tractor ruts; the grass is cut by-weekly and sometimes due to changing weather conditions it can grow fast.

As a characterful working farm, noises from livestock and machinery can be heard from time to time but are by no means constant.

Our disposal point is emptied on a regular basis and provides pure functionality; it has safety bars and a strong lid.

Kind regards 

Armley Lodge Farm
