Our first time here

We are sat on this CL as I write this review. We was greeted on arrival and  shown to the field and had the facilities pointed out to us.  Hook ups are not installed yet so the owner runs a cable to you from the out building which works a treat.  Once we got set up we popped into the cafe to pay and got another welcoming reception. You can pay by card if need be and cash back is available if needed.  The toilet is here and open from about 7.30-22.00  The view is great from our van and yes if you have a dog there is plenty of room to exercise them.  No complaints from us.  We are here August 28-29

National Trust and other stuff!

Picked this CL based on location for the NT properties - Belton and Woolsthorpe.  Welcomed by owners at the Tea Room and directed to the available pitches to choose from. Very helpful.  Picked ours which sloped slightly but easily sorted with blocks. Good views over the village and beyond. Easy routing to Belton House and Woolsthorpe Manor.  Cycling and walking opportunities looked good but didn't have time to explore on this visit. WC's are available but only during the Tea Room opening times - not an issue for us and can't imagine this would be a problem for most. Dog loved it with plenty of room to exercise. Would recommend.

Idyllically English!

Just spent lovely weekend here, great views from your bed! Lovely little shops on site - great tea rooms (gets very busy weekends particularly with cyclists) - The Berkeley Arms is excellent (need to book) - overall would say the owners have done a great job with this little gem :-)

Blown-in

We arrived in a torrent of rain and 60mph winds we mad? "yes" but then no one can say we are good weather caravanners can they? The owner Vincent assisted by another chap got me setup, not many owners would turn out in that weather to do that. Views off this CL are fantastic being high above Wymondham village even in the grip of a storm, it was stunning. Solarlights now line the route in to the CL (nice touch) I had a heart shaped cake made, this being Valentines night! me being the only male in our unit, it was proved to be a shrewed move..... thanks SarahJayne, who is the owners wife and owner of the on site Tearooms. We had a meal at the Berkeley Arms, not cheap but locally Sourced and top quality. Beers are well kept as well. The pub is only 10 minutes walk from the CL and a 20 minute stagger back! We also had breakfast in the Tearooms, which was good value for money and freshly made. Would we come back again? The East family say "YES YOU BET" Happy

Excellent!

Totally agree with the other reviews. Cannot fault this lovely site, peaceful and quiet, within walking distance to a charming little village with a good pub. Will definitely recommend and return. Good access roads also.

Windy millers retreat!

We stayed 4 nights at this 200 year old Windmill,but far younger site, come Tea rooms and small shop outlets. Sarahjayne and Vincent(The owners) will give you a good welcome and smile. We were taking a break, but also marking my daughters 18th birthday. When we found this site we noted that Sarahjayne home cooked most of her products, so we asked her would she be able to bake a cake for my daughter and boy did she rise to the challange(watch out Mary Berry GBBO) she produced a fantastic chocolate cake decorated with a choc rich cream, service at its best brought to our caravan door. The site sits on a hill with views all around, the owners have leveled the top quite well, so we did not need blocks as advised. The Windmill was open to view foc with a kind request to donate towards its on going retoration, something we were happy to do. We also had a meal down the Berkeley Arms within walking distance of the site, good beer and food enjoyed by us. Sarahjayne also did meals at the Tea rooms, so we had dinner there one day as well! it was top class freshly produced. This site is going to be popular and is already seeing returning members, I will for sure be going back, as soon as I can. Take a walk round this charming village indeed follow the historic walk, its a gem.

Lovely Site

Stayed on this CL for 5 nights in October (2013)and found it to be peaceful. We were given a warm welcome and all the help one could require on arrival. The site is slightly sloping and levelling blocks could be required. Fresh water and chemical emptying point are away from the vans but nearby.On the one clear day that we had the views were picturesque, looking out over the nearby village and Leicestershire countryside. On site there are numerous craft shops and a lovely shop for the ladies selling clothing accessories. The windmill is certainly worth a visit. The owners run a café on the shop site which serves good food and there are toilets next to the café. There are also areas set aside for children to play in. Overall this is a lovely site which we will be visiting again.

Pleasant Site

Spent 5 nights in September 2013. This is their first year of trading as a CL. The site is slightly sloping, all grass, but no problems. Wonderful views and sunsets. Extension leads needed for hookup (supplied by friendly owners). Main bugbear is that the toilet is a bit of a trek, as it is actually for the use of visitors to the windmill and shops and there can be a queue. Shower block and toilets for the CL exlusive use sounds perfect and would make this attractive site even better. Re: grey waste - after checking with the owners it went in the bushes as per usual. Overall a nice place to stay for the Rutland Water experience!
