We stayed here for five nights over August Bank Holiday. We cannot fault and the place is a credit to Chris and Jan. We booked well in advance using email. We were answered promptly and efficiently. The week leading upto our stay and on arrival day Chris contacted us by text to check arrival times etc., all spot on.
When we arrived we were not on the main CL as we are a heavy motorhome, and Chris’ grass was far too immaculate for us to ruin. Chris guided us around to far side of greenhouse onto a hardstanding area but with grass, own tap and bins. Plus a little further back from road (not that it is busy or intrusive road), and lovely open countryside views, so we were delighted. We were near the car park for the Chocolatier cafe/shop, plant shop and newly opened farm shop but didn’t feel uncomfortable and not unduly bothered by these businesses. We could also watch the parachutes from Langar airport practising their jumps from planes.
Chris was an impeccable host, regularly checking up on us but not intrusive, offering home grown tomatoes and cucumbers. He was a star as he lent us a ladder to facilitate a repair we had to do. The toilet was spot on - immaculately kept and checked daily. Only thing to be aware the toilet is not right next to main CL field, and is a little walk to get to it.
The footpaths and walking opportunities in the area are extensive especially with the canal which we informed does go all the way to Nottingham one way, and Grantham the other. The Wharf cafe in the village is excellent, and also do yummy take out cakes too. Chocolatier is also well worth popping in. Farm shop was in its first week but lady who runs it farms in the village and is planning to get her own meat into shop soon. The bacon we did get was superb.
All in all as it says at top - brilliant- highly recommend.
