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.
