Great cl, huge field with well mown grass. David comes round to collect your money always a well of information. sadly the pub is closed at the moment but uppingham is just a mile and a half walk.
There is a bit of road noise but this is countered by the wildlife flying above the site.
No facility's but who needs electric with solar and batteries.
Our best go to site
It’s huge, it’s calm, it’s sheltered.
Amazing parks and walking nearby, but not good for walking dogs from site, we have 5 so we load them into our truck and visit the many beautiful places this area has to offer.
There is a tiny bit of road noise but after a few Chenin Blanc who’d notice.
Just a lovely place.
Our July Stay
What a great site. A large field, plenty of space, grass beautifully short as per picture. A Warm welcome from very Friendly owners. Within easy reach, Oakham, Uppingham, Stamford, Market Harborough, great for town walks and street markets. For mountain bikers from the site, Rutland water is just 4 miles north on roads and tracks. Include a trip to The Hambleton peninsula, a circular ride of Rutland Water, what a great day out!!! We stayed for 10 days and we were the nearest caravan to the road. The faint road noise did not bother us at all. We will be back.

Lovely CL
Excellent cl, three acres so plenty of room.
Grass mown and tidy.
Water, cd point, recycling and bins.
Easy access off the A47, but surprisingly quiet when on site.
Would definitely use again.
Have given 5 stars for all, but fifth icon doesn’t work.
Lovely stay
We stayed here in July for a 4 night stay.
Lovely back to basics site, very well kept, very spacious.
Very nice location to explore the beautiful countryside of Rutland.
Great for walking and cycling direct from site, some care needed as the busy A47, is just outside the site, but once away from this, beautiful countryside. Welland viaduct about 10 minutes away, well worth a look, a truly amazing structure.
Rutland Water about 20 minutes drive away.
If you are looking for a site that offers true old fashioned caravaning this would be hard to be beaten.

Nice site but not for dog owners, dog lovers
Apart from the fact that the GPS location for the site is woefully wrong, this is an easy site to find as it is right alongside the A47 and yet, when on site there is next to no traffic noise.
The site itself is large for just 5 vans and the grass is kept short and it would appear the cuttings are collected which is a real bonus.
The surrounding countryside is beautiful with some stunning villages to be seen and as for the truly amazing Harringworth railway viaduct, well what a feat of engineering that is still in use to this present day.
My major concern with this site is the dog walking or rather danger and or lack of it!
There is a small field which no doubt sheep graze in at certain periods of the year that we were directed to, to exercise our dogs. However, at the time of our visit in early August, there were so many fully ripe wild oats growing there and as any dog owner will/should know, the husks of wild oats are exceptionally dangerous for dogs either between their toes or in their ears, so for us, that field was a serious no, no.
So we thought we would walk down the road in search of some narrow country lanes, but the entrance to Bisbrooke Hall has a cattle grid which has no pedestrian gate access, as such getting our 3 spaniels past this obstacle was a major and seriously dangerous problem and then, when past this, I am sorry to say the verges next to the pathways alongside the main A47 were in such deplorable condition, they were almost totally overgrown with stinging nettles and brambles.
And finally, the A47 at this point is so exceptionally busy, I for one as a keen cyclist, wouldn't ever ride along it.
But despite this, we loved the site, but it could be a great site if for only a small amount of effort.
OH by the way the GPS location of the main entrance is N52.59454 W0.68343 and not as given in the 2019/20 Sites Directory Handbook.
Country living
We spent a week here in July 2020. We were delighted with it, Easy access to Rutland water, good cycling, good walking, lots of wild flowers and a lovely large site surrounded by trees and farm fields. Excellent value for money

Spent a week on this amazingly tranquil site for August bank holiday. The grass is a credit to the owner and not expected for such a value for money site. Traffic noise can be heard depending on the wind direction but is in no way intrusive. The size of the CL ensures plenty of space & variety of pitches.
Parkland paradise
Spent 4 nights here during the 2nd week in July 2015 and recently before that in 2013. Perfect peaceful setting if you are self sufficient and like the basics. There was only 2 units on site when we were there. Missed the sheep on site this year as the trees and grassland were overgrown which has good and bad points - it shields your presence from the road but blocks the spectacular parkland views afforded we gained last time. Don't spoil it by installing electric!!
Thanks for a great retreat.

We have just had a very enjoyable 4 nights at Bisbrooke Hall CL . If peace and tranquility are what you are looking for then this is the place.
The site itself is basic, the usual wastes and a couple of taps, there's 3 acres of land for 5 vans so there's plenty of space. Occasionally there are sheep in the field.
Beautiful surroundings and some fabulous old oak tree's on the estate along with some very ornate tree's. A short walk ( 7 or 8 minutes) into the village and you will find an excellent pub doing really nice food at sensible prices.
The owners are very welcoming.
Highly recommended.
