What a terrific little site. The layout is great, very peaceful and the staff fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble for them even to the extent of assisting me with a collapsed towing hook.
We had no trouble with the nearby building works. Location is very good with lots to do in the area.
Would recommend it and will be going back again.
One small point it would be helpful to have a sign at the turn off from the 505as Ai am sure you can easily go past it resulting in a drive down to the next roundabout.
Well done caravan club and all the staff on site.

Easter weekend.
Stayed here over Easter and found it a lovely little site, the wardens are very friendly and helpful and the toilet block was always clean, if a little dated, there was some rusty pipework underneath the hand basin so maybe a refurbishment is in order here. The building work nearby had stopped for the Easter break so we were lucky, it was nice and peaceful. We really liked the area and will definitely visit again.
Enjoyable Easter Break
We three couples spent five nights over Easter. Not too much to add as it has been said already. However, we were on the grass pitches outside the barrier and (I guess being Easter) there was a regular flow of traffic to and from the large storage compound adjacent. That in itself was not a problem but the noise from the caravan washdown point close by became unreasonable - particularly as someone started a compressor with an engine for their power washer around 8.00 a.m. - how considerate. It would help if the Club introduced a curfew for this nuisance. Otherwise - all good.

lovely Easter weekend
We are new caravaners, only our 3rd trip out. We chose this site as we have family in the area, and the access from the A1. It really is a simple site to get to and yes, you need to follow the book's advice on access to the site as Ashwell is a very narrow, congested village. The facilities are good, very clean and tidy, and although the site was busy, no issues with the small number of toilets and showers. Didn't use the laundry but it looked well maintained. Everyone we met, including the wardens were very helpful and friendly. Had 2 meals in the 3 Tuns, both very nice. The country walks are excellent. Nothing really for children either on the site or locally. There was no building work whilst we were there. We will be back.
What a great find!
As a retired couple, we found that this was a great site to try for the first time. Not too far from home, and very quiet. Not so much for children, I suspect (so 3 stars - N/A would have been more appropriate), and there was a little noise from the building site next door - hence 4 stars - but this didn't bother us in late March, and will in any case be temporary. Small, welcoming site with excellent facilities, and plenty to see in the area. We shall be back! Perhaps in better weather? ;)
This site never disappoints
We use this site about three times a year to visit family. As always, it was immaculately clean and tidy. The local road to the site is a bit bumpy, but it is important to follow the recommended route! Ashwell village is VERY congested and narrow in places. The small housing development being built next door caused a bit of noise during this stay, together with some congestion in the road, but our 5* rating for 'peace & quiet' is for the normal situation. There is a mixture of grass and hardstanding pitches, most of the main part of the site being hardstanding. The new wardens were OK on arrival, but for most of our stay the relief wardens were in charge. The main pub in the village, the 'Three Tuns', changed hands about 18 months ago. The last time we tried a meal there was about 3 years ago and 'never again'. However, we had lunch there this week and, on the basis of that meal, we would have no hesitation in recommending it now. If you want a simple site with a toilet block but no frills, near London and with easy access to the A1, and trains to King's Cross about a mile away, this is the one for you.
3rd time here
This is the 3rd time of being here, and just love the site and the area. 1st time on my own but such a lovely place to come to. There is currently a building site nearby, but must admit it didn't bother me to much. Could hardly hear it. Village of Ashwell within a 15 minute walk is lovely. Has 3 pubs which do food, though I personally ate in the Rose & Crown.
Will definitely be back for a 4th visit.

Very nice site for touring
Ash bridge Farm caravan site is a very friendly site, the wardens are very helpful. The situation of the site is perfect for touring and also as a stop over as it is close to the A1M. Any visitor wanting a quiet meal and a drink I can highly recommend The Rose and Crown which is 5 min bike ride from the site.

Very good information shed. Site kept immaculate, including toilet facilities. Only slight problem we encountered was the building site next door which we were informed about before we booked and appreciate that the wardens have no control over. Short walk into village and amenities. Highly recommended.

excellent site
Excellent site, with excellent/clean facilities! Only a few minutes walk from the three pubs, butchers, bakery in the village. The wardens are so friendly and work very hard. Yes there is building work next door but don't let it put you off visiting this site, it's really not that bad! We even sat outside for lunch and it wasn't a problem!
