We are not really fans of CLs, generally preferring to stay on main Club sites. However, we decided to give Heatherbield a try and we are glad we did. After a 5-hour journey, we were given a warm welcome and were offered cups of tea and cupcakes. The site itself is spacious and peaceful and has a large shower with toilet and basin plus another separate toilet. The Wifi is very good and only costs 30p a night (Caravan Club sites take note!) We found lots to do in the surrounding area and had a lovely week!
We visited this site during the 6-9 Jun 19 and was extremely pleased with the service we received from the owners, Mr & Mrs Meeks. We were welcomed with a cup of tea and cupcake! The CL site was well kept and the toilet/shower facility was very clean. We would definitely return to this site in the future. Thank you.
What an excellent find! Very friendly hosts, lovely location, spotless toilet/shower facilities, well mown grass, easy to find. Ely is a lovely city to visit, with plenty of free parking. A faultless stay, hope to return. Thank you very much.
We stayed here for 2 nights.
Such a lovely site and friendly owners.
Very spacious pitches.
Shower and toilet spotless.
Information hut very useful.
There is a footpath all the way to Ely!
Also good walks nearby
We used to use Andy & Silvia”s CL quite often as our daughter lives nearby, but we’re back after a 4 year gap (though we have seen our daughter in the mean time!!). It’s like we’ve never been away and treated like long lost friends. There is now a little shed with local info, games, books and on site WiFi at 30p a night. I got 25MB download with 15mS ping, so excellent service.
Why didn’t we come before!!
Just returned from weekend visit with friends (3 caravans) to Heatherbield cl at Little Downham near Ely.
This is on a Top Class CL with a couple of hardstandings, excellent toilet and shower facility.
Mr and Mrs Meek keep the grounds and facilities in tip top condition.
Their hospitality is outstanding. Mrs Meek even brought our group own baked cakes for Sunday afternoon tea time, which was appreciated by all.
The CL is down a drive beside their house and is a quite location in a very nice village. Yet only about a mile and half from the city of Ely with its fine cathedral and Riverside walks.
Ely has one of the best markets we visited on the Saturday. It also has one on Thursdays.
Some fantastic eateries are located in Ely. There is a large leausure village just a mile down the road with many restaurants and a cinema. This in addition to village pub and restaurant.
The CL is dog friendly.
Meg and Gilley enjoy the vast cl area and local walks.
Our first visit to this cl but definitely won't be our last.
We have just returned from 4 nights at Heatherbield. We were drawn to it because of the rave reviews and we weren't disappointed. The welcome of coffee and cupcakes was wonderful.. never experienced that before despite caravanning for nearly 35 years. Andy and Sylvia keep the site immaculate. Grass regularly mowed and shower and toilet spotlessly clean. The paddock is flat and even when all pitches are full it never appears crowded with plenty space between each van. It is about 10 minutes from Ely Cathedral and Marina with great dog walk by the river Ouse. Sylvia even returned on Friday to offer more cakes to everyone... and they are delicious.
Hopefully when we want to return there will be spaces as it appears a very popular site.
Heatherbield is a joy to stay on. First time we have been here and were lucky to be able to extend our holiday and would have loved to stay longer but had to return home for an appointment. Andy and Sylvia have a fabulous site and keep it in tip top condition. Large spacious site with immaculately shower facilities. Special thanks to Philip who was of enormous help to us. See you next year you lovely family.
To repeat what most of the reviews have said, this site is a very good size, kept in fantastic condition, the owners are very helpful and friendly. They really made an effort with our toddler who loved it. Walking distance to a dog friendly pub. We will definitely be back. Good facilities on site too.
We had not visited Cambridgeshire before and we were not disappointed. We loved this site and resided at the top of the field on the LHS; we even had our own small chestnut tree.
The owners are lovely people and are very accomodating; the muffins baked by Sylvia were delicious and as we were there to celebrate my husbands 65th birthday they were very welcome. The shower facilities and toilet was spotless and there is even another toilet to use. We will definitely be back; we loved it so much and Ely. Thankyou to Andy and Sylivia from Martin and Debra Rojahn.
