We have visited a few times and love it here. Always a warm welcome from site owner, Billy and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent well kept site set in a lovely village with plenty of long walks for the dogs. One of our favourite places to stay.
Fantastic stay every time
My wife and I have stayed here now on numerous occasions and would highly recommend to others. Food in the cafe is top notch. The owners are very welcoming and can't do enough for you. We will be back again!
Many thanks,
Irene and Peter King (Derbyshire)
Lovely Alkborough Flatts
Very warm welcome . being met at the gate and having everything explained then left alone to relax ... perfect host for us.
Dog walks from site onto Alkborough Flats where you can walk for miles with excellent bird watching and countryside.

We all still love this site!
After 2 spring/summers/autumns of visiting this wonderful site, we still love it. It’s everything a CL should be, quiet, clean, well run, peaceful with plenty of room for each outfit, hardstandings for the Caravans and grass to sit/ lie out on. We visit regularly for my partner to go to the Eddie Wright Raceway for the ‘Outlaws’ stock car racing, he scrutinisers the cars making sure they are safe and obeying the rules! While he does that Poppy (rescue cat) watches the beautiful Limousin cattle grazing in the next field while the calves run and jump about. Visit Julian’s Bower, walk down to the Flatts to watch a variety of water birds ‘strutting their stuff’. We will be back this year as well.
Great CL
Excellent CL a very well kept site , lovely welcome on arrival, great for dog walkers with public footpaths within minutes of the site . Highly recommend
Great CL
Not much to add to previous reviews. This is a basic non facilities site which is located behind the farm. The site is immaculate with elec, water and disposal point. There is no wifi and no signal through the EE network. Radio reception was good. Alkborough is a lovely village which has a community run club/pub which visitors can use. The cakes at the cafe on the farm are home made and delicious. Great walks direct from site especially to the Flats which has a wide variety of wildlife.
Superbreak!
Spotted this site when walking the Cliff path from Burton upon Stather so returned to discover more. Very friendly, very tidy, fantastic value. Handily placed for good walking especially down on to Alkborough Flats.
And as for the Paddocks Tearoom......well what about that for a breakfast! "Farmers' wife" washed down by latte! Oops forgot the amazing cakes & tea the previous afternoon. On a diet now!!
Highly recommended.
Picked up our new (to us) caravan and drove straight to College Farm.
Bill was on hand offering to help us set up, and showed us where everything was.
Stayed 2 x nights and even though it's 3 miles away from our house, it's a place we will be going back to.
Spent both nights making the most of the sunset and cold beers. Will take our dogs there next time to make the most of the local walks.
excellent
just returned from a week at College Farm and the site was fantastic.easy access, all amenities to hand.the dog walks are on the door step, we only moved the car twice, once to food shop and the second so the grass could be cut!! breakfast is highly recommended at the cafe and the home made cakes looked very tempting. this was our first visit and we planning another in October with many more for next year.very many thanks for a great stay

Peace and quiet - wonderful.
We stayed on this site for 3 nights, with our rescue cat. A lovely, well kept, clean & tidy CL. We were met by the gate by Gavin, who welcomed us, let us choose which of the spaces we'd like and helped us reverse the caravan in. The weather was kind, we had a very restful stay and Poppy, the cat only made 2 bids for freedom, she returned quickly from both. We have booked our next visit here.
