A perfect spot for exploring this area
Had booked this site prior to the 'great pause - known otherwise as the lockdown' so had to cancel but managed to rebook for the beginning of September. Initially, site was full on the Sunday night so we booked until that morning but part way through the week, Alison kindly contacted us to say she had a cancellation meaning we could stay the extra 2 nights we originally asked for to make a full week.
The site is a good sized well kept field overlooking a small valley, which had sheep and cows roaming freely while we were there. This is an ideal spot from which to visit the nearby towns of Oakham and Stamford as well as Rutland water with its many walks and water based entertainment. We also visited Rockingham castle and Burghley House, both are excellent places to while away a few hours.
Uppingham is a bustling town a short walk from the site and has most of the shops one needs as well as a selection of takeaways, cafes, pubs and restaurants. (We enjoyed an excellent chinese takeaway one evening).
Alison is an excellent source of information about the local area. We had a lovely time on this site and can thoroughly recommend it . Thank you Mr & Mrs Hicks for making us feel so welcome and making our stay so enjoyable.
