5 star CL!! We visited this site for the August BH weekend ( initially spotted this gem of a site whilst on a bike ride from Ferry Meadows camc site earlier in the year)....really glad we did! It had everything we love....quiet, village location, secluded little pitches on the field, adult only, dog friendly. All the pitches are well drained grass ones with EHU & tv booster on each post. Colin the owner was really friendly & helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely return.
Return visit
Met up with friends here as it is about halfway. We had just set up when Colin came round and made us welcome. Friends arrived shortly after. Saw Colin most days as he came through the site to walk his dog. Well maintained site, grass kept short. In formation hut, with selection of books and magazines. Excellent butchers in the village, fourth generation, and shop with post office in easy walking distance. Red kites fly over and we saw a barn owl in the next field. Black Horse pub a few doors along in the process of being refurbished.
Delightful site
This is a quiet small site in a very nice Northamptonshire village with easy access to a pub , butchers and grocery store. The entrance is wide enough to accommodate large caravans as long as you are aware and use the width of the entrance lane accordingly. We would definitely recommend this site
Beware Entrance Pillars.
We came here as a short stop on our way further north. Finding the site was easy with good roads but found parked vehicles in Nassington a pain. The turn into the site is difficult if you have a larger caravan , mine is 7.4 metres, as you have to do a turn back on yourself. I managed to scrape a window on the pillar at the entrance. Having said that the site seems fairly small with 5 vans in it but you do get access to electric on each pitch and it's up to you as which way you pitch.
Coming out was also a pain as I had to use virtually all the width of the road to clear the pillars. Would we go back? Possibly as it is just about at my limit for driving.
Delightful site on edge of village
Just returned from a 6 night stay at this site. The owner is very friendly and a pleasure to chat to.
The site is flat, quite small (0.5 acre) but does take 5 vans without feeling crowded. Facilities are well maintained behind a high hedge complete with night light.
There is a lovely view over a stone wall across a meadow (complete with 2 owl nesting boxes) to the village and church beyond. Bats fly around in the evening. The village itself as already mentioned has a well-stocked butchers, general store with post office( a helpful owner who recommended walking routes in the area with timings too). A pub within 300-400 yards by pavement,but sadly due to Covid is currently closed. A Hotel/Restaurant a bit further along is open but only really does food and reluctant drinks (report from the butcher).
Dog walkers will love this site, so much to choose. Just stroll around the village or head off across the fields on the Nene Valley Way. Destinations-Wansford,Yarwell,Nene Valley Railway,Fotheringhay and more.
Drive to Peterborough(magnificent Cathedral), Rutland Water, Stamford, Oundle.The list goes on.The villages and towns in this area are very Cotswold but without the hype!!
The only down-side to this site-If you can't stand noise levels above 10 pins dropping to the ground from a height of 6 feet or so, then this is not for you. This is a real proper living village and people have to drive to work and back from work. So at certain times of the day the road can be busy but not over-poweringly so. You have been mildly warned!!
Enjoyed our stay despite rain
A board on the gate with map and indicating available pitches would be helpful. The owner was out when we arrived but other caravaners pointed out where pitches, water, electric hook up etc were. My mobile phone reception disappeared as the rain came in so we emailed owner who greeted us the next morning.
Great location and neat well kept site.
Meet up with friends
We met friends here last month and were made very welcome by the owners. Advised to use area away from one of the pitches as they had had a lot of rain recently. Plenty of room, though long electric lead needed. We were there for a week and after a couple of days the affected pitch had dried out. Site well drained and grass kept short. Grass box used, so no grass cuttings left fo carry into van. Some road noise as at the end of village, but you soon get used to it. Black Horse pub nice and handy and good value meals.
Very Nice Site
A well kept and easy to access site. Owners are very welcoming and helpful. Lovely countryside and nearby villages including historic Fotheringhay and surprising interesting Peterborough.
First visit
First visit the site is small but tidy. There are plenty of footpaths which are easy walking and scenery lovely. The Black Horse pub is 5 minutes up the road. The Sunday dinner is fab and at £10.95 well worth a visit. It is a pity that the road is very noisy and the site is right next to it.

Excellent First Trip
This was only our second outing in our caravan but the first without friends to guide us. The owners are very helpful and welcoming. The site is beautiful in a beautiful part of the country. Lovely village, great walks for the dogs. Lots of wildlife. Enjoyed sitting at the caravan watching the parachutes dropping into the nearby airfield. Lots to see and do nearby. Would highly recommend this site to anybody. Cannot wait to return.
