Peaceful place!

Our second time here, and I’m sure we’ll be back. Lovely level site with water, electrics to each pitch and run waste water off to the small trees nearby. Chris is so welcoming, not intrusive at all but will check regularly that all is ok. Also at the rear of the farm is Sophie’s Flower& Gift shop (couple of nice gifts purchased), Sarsfield - Chocolate Maker & Cafe - nice too, and a new starter - Joseph’s Plants, not fully running yet, but plants and variety looked great. A great 6 days! Thanks Chris, keep on doing exactly as you do, cheers Alan & Jan Cooper + Dave & Mo’ Wainwright of Hull.

We have just spent 7 nights at Grove Farm CL and we were delighted with the welcome,and the site overall.

Chris met us on arrival and couldn’t do enough for us. It was a pleasure to roll up and get a lovely welcome. The pitches were flat and well mown with a tap for each pitch and run off for waste water to the trees behind. The village of Hickling has a pub and a cafe on the old canal wharf.The pub in Konulton has closed so little going on in the village. Lovely walks and wonderful country side for all. 5 Stars from us Liz & Mike.

Definitely on our favourite list

The site is immaculate, it is clear that Chris takes a lot of pride in the presentation of the site. Local information about places of interest, pubs, walks, etc all available on returnable laminated sheets. Each pitch has its own water supply, grey waste goes to water the trees. The site is secure with a locked gate. The chocolatier/coffee shop on site we give 5 star rating with its bespoke chocolate and delicious food. Also an award winning florist on site. Beautiful area to explore in the Vale of Belvoir/ Grantham canal. The food in the Plough in Hickling is highly recommended. Hearty pub food, good pint, just want we wanted after 18 holes of golf at the nearby Six hills golf course. Thankyou Chris and Jan for making us feel very welcome. We will certainly be returning to your lovely site.

Great site for visiting the Vale of Belvoir

This is a really well maintained, level site with good access from a relatively quiet road. Water supply on each pitch is a bonus, as is Wi-Fi. Chris has made sure everything has been considered, including laminated walk suggestions and other helpful information. The on-site cafe/chocolaterie is also great. We used the site for a week of walking the Grantham Canal and it was great that this is easily accessed within a short walk of the site. If only all CLs were like this one.

What Cl caravanning is all about

We had visited Grove Farm a couple of years ago and were so happy and relaxed during our stay we wanted to return. Chris as always, is friendly, helpful and kind. We knew what to do on arrival as he'd let us know by text. The pitches are lovely and now are fully serviced, as each one has its on water tap and grey water can be emptied around the trees. The backdrop of nursery, flower shop and tearooms fits in so sympathetically with the views over the fields. Two pubs at either end of the site offer great food; the old wharf tearooms/cafe is a must for visitors. Set on the canal, easily walked from the site, is a popular place for cyclists and visitors. A tranquil, friendly site not to missed.

Accessible and well looked after

Chris asked us to let him know our arrival time, and the gate was open when we got there, He arrived soon afterwards and approved our siting plans. The site is well kept with short grass, and the directions are clear (forget the SatNav!). We didn't visit the florist or the cafe / chocolate makers on the same site. Immediate surroundings rather flat, but directions available for several local walks. Hickling is a very attractive village, and the canal on a sunlit evening was spectacular. Further afield, we enjoyed visiting Southwell and Melton Mowbray, and there is some attractive hilly countryside nearby. The campers' toilet is immaculate, but a bit of a walk from the site.

Very peaceful and relaxing stay

Lovely little CL, very peaceful with great views over the countryside from the hard-standing for motorhomes. Chris was very helpful and checked in with us every day to make sure we had what we needed, and that everything was ok. The tea rooms at the Chocolate Shop were lovely, though sadly we didn't get the opportunity to view chocolate being made. It would definitely be worth a return visit for a chocolate-making workshop! Double-check your SatNav routing before setting off - the site is actually halfway between two villages and both mine and my sister's SatNav told us we'd arrived when we got to the pub in Kinoulton about half a mile away, lol.

Another Winner

We seem to be very lucky with the sites that we choose to stay at. We were there for three and a half weeks, and although the weather was pretty awful at times the site was spot on. It is well maintained and Chris, Jan and their son couldn't have been more helpful, and having Sarfields Chocolaterie and Tea Room at the same location made it even better. There is the main field at the front of the site but because of the amount of rain received just prior to and after out arrival we were actually put on to semi hardstanding behind the greenhouse. For us this was actually better because we got the added benefit of the views to the east of the site. There is a toilet and washroom on site and is perfectly adequate. It is cleaned daily. There are two local pubs and the old Wharf cafe, all serving food. We only tried the Neville Arms and the Old Wharf. but food was good from both. We didn't try the Plough because we ran out of time before they opened after spending lockdown doing alterations. All in all a very nice site and we would be very happy to go back.

Great CL , would recommend

Stayed 3 nights here. Great welcome from Chris with information sheets. Good Covid precautions in place. Quiet, relaxing and easy walking distance of two pubs. Bus stop outside (didn’t use so cant comment on the service). Would recommend.
