Quiet relaxing surroundings

Lovely CL. Lovely hosts. Easy access to site,of a well kept, level field and plenty of space. It has a well stocked information shed and a toilet/shower room - excellent facilities. Andy,Sylvia and family gave us a very warm welcome complete with homemade cakes and a cup of tea. This was our second visit to Heatherbield. We will return again and we will recommend the CL to our friends.

Friendly welcome

We stayed for two nights in October. Just what we hoped to find, good facilities, friendly hosts and the convenience of a bus-stop outside the entrance to enable a visit to Ely without using our van. We hope to return!

Great Stay

This is our second visit and it is still one of the best. Facilities are excellent with services to each pitch. We were at the top of the site and the wifi was brilliant. There is so much to do in the area so not a place to get bored at. At this time of the year swan feeding at Welney is a great event.

GREAT FIND

Probably all said before,but you are not sure till you use it yourself. Very accommodating owners. With 5 of us on the site still looked half empty, loads of room to set up as you like. Easy access from the road. We will be using it again, if we can get in after these reviews. Shoot yourself in the foot job !!!!

Fabulous site

Just been here for twelve nights and were very impressed with site. In 35 years of caravanning it is the first time we have been greeted with coffee and home made biscuits! The site is very well cared for, shower and toilets immaculate and lots of "spare" toiletries on a shelf. Information shed full of tourist maps, games, books and magazines as well as a few soft toys. We added to the pile by leaving our own books once we had read them and it seems most folk do the same. Andy and Sylvia are excellent hosts and are very easy going, we had to leave early because of a long journey but Andy told us we could stay as late as we liked. We will be back.

A Most Friendly CL

While we only live half an hour away in St Ives we were looking for a CL close to Chatteris so we could carry out our baby siting duties. The site is well kept with superb facilities for a CL. Andrew and his family are so nice and welcoming. The village of Little Downham is also a great little village. We felt really at home here and although it is close to our home base we will be coming here again.

Very Welcoming Site

We have recently become both proud parents and the proud owners of a campervan and we chose Heatherbield for our first trip out with both van and 7 month old baby... we could not have picked a better site. We were only staying for a night as this was a 'fact-finding' mission and when I called to book Sylvia told me that we were able to check-out late on the Sunday as they weren't fully booked that night. When we arrived, our name was on the blackboard telling us to pitch wherever and Sylvia and Andy soon came to find us armed with tea and cupcakes which was a lovely, a greatly appreciated, touch. Andy also, very kindly, lent us a hook-up cable as we hadn't got round to buying one before our trip. The toilet and shower were great... very clean and like a 'home from home'. Had we been staying longer we could easily have bathed our son (we would have needed to take a baby bath). The WiFi connection was very fast and easy to log onto. We would certainly return to this site if we were looking to have a longer holiday near Cambridge/Ely. Thank you!

Great base for Cambridge & surrounding area

Stayed here for 6 nights in August. Directions spot on, entry and exit very easy onto private driveway and plenty of room. Call at house or the details are on a board if Andy & Sylvia are not in. Pitch anywhere and anyway you like. Flat paddock with several electric points (16A) so never too far away from a point. 4 separate water points in the paddock. Well kept and clean toilet and shower with separate toilet nearer the house if the toilet/shower is in use. Lovely shower plenty of hot water (no extra charge). Grey waste and chemical points both have rinse points as well. Recycling also in place. TV signal very good, satellite signal good if pitched next to fence. WiFi added this year excellent signal and honesty box in information shed with suggested price of 20p per day to cover ongoing WiFi maintenance (better speed internet than I get at home on some occasions). Andy, Sylvia & family were away for most of our visit (so we missed the pot of tea and cup cakes on arrival ha ha). Andy's dad covered the CL for the duration and was very welcoming and knowledgable about the area. The information shed has everything you need to know from cycling to dog walks to visitor attractions,WiFi password and details of when/how to pay for your stay plus games and puzzle boards Lovely dog walks direct from site (boots required when wet). Good cycling direct from site and very flat for those who prefer leisurely cycling like my wife. There is a bus superhighway from Cambridge to St Ives (14 miles) which can be used for cycling, walking and horse riding with a park and ride at both ends Ely is a must for a visit, try the walk round town and the river walk. A meal and or liquid refreshment at either "The Cutter" or Grand Central" right next to the river is very pleasant or Peacocks tea room. St Ives is a lovely place to visit and of course Cambridge, use the park & ride at Milton £1 to park and £2.70 return on the bus per person (dogs are allowed on the bus). First visit to this area, won't be the last and I would definitely recommend this site to anyone visiting the area as it is well placed for all areas to visit and ticks all the boxes you would expect fro a well run and well cared for CL. Thank You.

Ease of arrival/welcome

Well I’m very reluctant to write this review as when we next want to visit we won’t find space!!

What a welcome despite the owners being out. Greeted by name on the board with instructions to choose a pitch and park any way we like, information shed for info, we’ll see you later. We were the 5th van to arrive and we still had plenty of choice on where to pitch. That evening Andy came to say hello and collect payment I presumed, but he wasn’t bothered so long as it was paid before we left, we did pay there and then. We were also presented with 2 delightful beautifully iced homemade cup cakes, which tasted as good as they looked. Thank you. The site is very level, enclosed on one side by a well established hedge offering shade and a fence with a newish hedge growing. Nice touch of benches around the site, with delightful hedgehog bases. As already mentioned there is a comprehensive information shed that is well stocked with books, board games and puzzles to enjoy. A combined shower and toilet room, with a ready supply of toilet rolls, shampoo and shower gel should you have forgotten yours, I noticed it had a heater so should be good in the cooler weather too. There was another toilet by the very sensible motorhome service point. Really easy black and grey waste disposal together with clearly labelled easy access recycling. Lots of thought has gone into this site and it shows. There was free Wifi which was great the during our whole visit and I know one lady was watching Iplayer for the tennis. There is a both stop, in each direction, for buses into Ely and Wisbech almost outside the site; a timetable in the information shed. We didn’t use the buses, but it looked to be a limited service, allowing a morning start and afternoon return. A short pleasant stroll from the site takes you into the village, which offers 2 pubs, a Nisa Local and a car sales place which sells fuel too. Very friendly natives. A noticeboard about the area states there are 35 miles of roads, footpaths and droves and ways in the parish alone, so plenty of walking and cycling on the doorstep. As it’s situated in The Fens its flat and easy walking and cycling. We did get out to visit Ely, a very pretty city with a river frontage and plenty of boats to watch. The cathedral contains the Stained Glass Museum which was great, there is an entry fee into the cathedral and another into the museum. We also visited Oliver Cromwell’s house which was very informative. We will definitely be back, we tried to book but they were full – and that’s before I shared all this with you!! So please be kind and don’t book to leave us a chance to visit again.
