Amazing secluded spot in the midst of historic market town !

We’ve just had the pleasure of staying at Lashlake barns in Thame, Oxfordshire. The site is absolutely beautiful with an adundance of wildlife on your doorstep including a nest of red kites nearby, surrounded by a tranquil river it really is so peaceful and yet just short walk in to the historic market town of Thame with all its upmarket shops and one of the oldest street markets in the country held on a Tuesday. A walk around Thame reveals beautiful listed buildings and thatched cottages There’s a museum in the town and a modern library. All of the surrounding villages are picturesque and the setting for the popular Midsomer murders tv programme. Right Opposite the site is a bus stop where the 280 bus (very regular) will take you straight in to Oxford city, (saving all the bother of car parking.) Within 2 miles is the Haddenham parkway train station with direct trains to Marylebone taking just 45mins. The owners of this site could not be more welcoming or friendly. we are definitely making this Site a regular as the combination of town amenities and seclusion are very special indeed.

Good Thame location with friendly owners

A good location to explore Thame and surrounding areas. The CL owner John was very helpful, providing Tourist information guides and suggestions of local places to visit. Site ideally located with easy access to footpaths and cycling routes.

Nice stay

Postcode takes you right to entrance but worth looking on google street view first, as the sign is set back from the road. John made us feel very welcome and we chose a nice pitch by the river. As others had mentioned the local kites were entertaining as the stay in the trees on the site. Thame is well worth a couple of days walking around and the historic walks available on the site are worth doing. We will return, thanks.

A delightful site with friendly owners

Just spent a couple of nights at Lashlake Barn. What a lucky find. On arrival we were warmly welcomed by John and shown to a lovely level field with very generous pitches. One end of the site is on the river’s edge where we enjoyed an amazing sunset. The pair of kites nesting in a tree near us also kept us entertained. It is only a short walk from the site into Thame, a quaint market town with a really good selection of shops. There are several lovely walks directly from the site which take in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside. On our way home we spent a couple of hours by the duck pond in Haddenham on John’s recommendation. A really pretty spot. Can’t wait to stay again.

Fantastic place for our maiden voyage

This was our first overnight stay in our camper, purchased late last year. The whole thing is new to us and we couldn’t have picked a better place for our first stay. We were greeted by John who was really helpful even lent us a couple of tools. The site is well equipped with electric hookups for all pitches. We couldn’t use the toilet facilities due to COVID restriction but we have a toilet so wasn’t a problem for us and it was just one night. The site is brilliantly located in that it’s quiet and has lovely views but is close enough to town so it gives you access to pubs, shops and the lovely sites of Thame. A great added extra was the Kites nesting in one of the trees. Amazing to see them gliding overhead. We learnt a lot about our camper on this trip and feel better about doing further stays. We will definitely go back to Lashlake Barn CL as it is lovely with welcoming hosts and not too far from home. Thank you John and Allie

A great site, run by great owners.

We have just returned from what was meant to be 7 nights at this wonderful site, but we extended it to 11 nights as it was so good. We was greeted by John, who explained everything we needed to know, and was always about for questions, places to visit or just to chew the fat. To get the negatives out of the way there is some minor background traffic noise, but given the wonderful location this is easily overlooked, as the benefits of the location greatly outweigh this, and after a couple of days we didn't even notice it. The site is a big field accessed by solid security gates, all the pitches were grass, level, have EHU and a water tap, and are very well sheltered from high winds. The river Thame runs along the back of the site, where you can fish, or just sit and take in the view, and watch the kingfishers. For bird lovers there was plenty of life, with the aforementioned kingfishers, swans, tits, woodpeckers, owls, buzzards and kites to name a few with the latter nesting on site in season. The 4 resident chickens will keep you entertained watching them chase insects around the site. There is a nice toilet and large shower on site, all in one room, but that is currently closed because of covid, and having a sneak peak, was very suitable for the site. It is a 10 minute walk to the lovely market town of Thame, with an abundance of shops, supermarkets (Waitrose and Sainsburys) cafes and pubs to browse, and you can grab a takeaway tea/coffee and sit and watch the world go by in the memorial gardens. On the walk to town you pass the beautiful well kept cricket ground with St Marys Church just behind, which is the resting place of Robin Gibb and Elizabeth Spriggs among others. Around the area there are loads of pretty villages and towns, Haddenham duck pond and church is worth a visit, as is the Brill windmill perched up high on common grazing land with sensational views and local walks. This is a site we didn't want to leave and will definitely be visiting again. We were very surprised that it had only recently opened, and John has done a great job setting it up.

First class site very helpful and friendly

Lovely site. Very secure with electric gates even though the area didn’t look as if they were needed but nice just in case. Flat site with plenty of room. Picnic table. Water and electric next to every pitch. Clean modern toilet emptying etc. Chatted to John the owner who couldn’t have been more helpful. We intended to visit Oxford but Thame was so nice we didn’t make it. Maybe next time. Lovely walks close by. Quiet and peaceful site. We will be going back.

Excellent Site

Easy access from major routes and the satnav took us straight to the gate. The entrance is set back from the road and I missed it first time around, but there is plenty of room to pull in off the road. John is a wonderful friendly and knowledgeable host and always ready with a wave and a smile and happy to chat. On arrival he made sure we knew where the disposal points were and showed us to our substantial pitch. The site itself is plenty big enough to accommodate even large units on a well kept, level grass area, surrounded by trees with a small river running through on one side. Even the chickens are friendly! The town is only 10 minutes walk away with three supermarkets, a good selection of independent shops and an impressive church. There are bus stops right outside to go into Oxford or Aylesbury and there are plenty of leaflets available showing other local attractions and activities. We had a wonderful, relaxing week there and fully intend to return again in the future.

First class CL

Had a superb time at this excellent CL run by John who is an excellent host and very keen to ensure everyone is happy. Easy access from M40, though entrance a little difficult to spot. Water tap at each hookup. Well spaced, sheltered, and grass well mowed . Level site. Some road noise but does not spoil it. Walking distance to town. Bus outside entrance to Oxford. Cycling routes from site including phoenix way. Would recommend route 2 on the leaflet that John has which has lovely routes over ridgeway. I hope we will be back but site so good it might be difficult to book!

Fantastic Site

We stayed here on the 7th September for a few days break. It's a lovely well maintained and situated site with a very easy going and helpful owner (John). It's just a short walk to Waitrose and to the centre of Thame. A hidden gem. We will definitely be coming back. John, we are now fluent in Italian 😄😄
