Fantastic
Well just spent two nights here. An absolute Gem!
Lots to see and lovely walks and bike rides. Quiet and the wardens so helpful and nice. Facilities were as you expect, excellent.
See you again soon.

Delightful Ashridge Farm
This site is a delight, small and perfectly formed. From the moment of arrival and meeting the friendly, efficient wardens you know this is a laid back, relaxing place to be. Although small the facilities are spotless and warm. WiFi on site is very good. Radio reception is ok, can’t comment on tv. Phone signal with EE is a bit patchy.
Ashwell is a lovely village and has a shop, bakery, butchers shop and 3 pubs. The church is a gem, the highlight for me was the medieval graffiti. Lots of POI in the area including Wimpole and Duxford etc. Traffic free walks direct from site.
Plenty of supermarkets and petrol stations in Royston and Baldock
Little Gem
Just had seven nights here and didn't want to leave, will definitely be returning, Wardens very helpful, toilets, showers very clean,lovely little site and busy too, cant say we thought much of the local pubs, decided to go further afield for nice food. Good road links etc.
Wonderful 4 Nights
We stayed at the site for 4 Nights and had a wonderful time. The Wardens (Temporary Ones) were wonderful and assisted us when we had questions. The site is clean and tidy. A short walk into the village where there are Pubs and a Museum; plus, a couple of churches, that we were made very welcome at. We will be going back later in the year.
A good experience
Have just come back from a thoroughly pleasant weekend at Ashridge Farm.
Having read a review about aircraft noise I was surprised that we weren't bothered by it at all. Yes, there is some light and occasional noise but the aircraft are not exactly into their final descent on to the runway.
The site was small and peaceful so would probably not appeal to families. There were no children about when we were there. Plenty of dogs though and with plenty of places to walk then this is a good location to stay.
The village (about a 10 minute walk to the centre) was very attractive and the three pubs offered something different and were great.
The whole ambience of the site was fresh and clean and the flower beds were beautiful.
Would definitely come back again in the future.
Nice small quiet site.
Nice clean site. Only 39 pitches so small. Showers and all facilities very clean, well maintained.
Quiet too, didn't notice excessive aircraft noise.
Wardens very helpful, approachable and easygoing.
Lovely walks from site and only 10 minute walk to village with 3 pubs, butchers, bakers and shop.
Would return.
Was I on the same Campsite
Having just read the last two reviews in which members were complaining about aircraft noise and caravan washing at Ashridge Farm, I was beginning to wonder if I had been on the same campsite as my experience of it was entirely different. Granted that there is some airplane activity but as it seems to be aircraft on approach to Luton they are virtually coasting along. The sound was hardly intrusive and certainly not at night. They seemed to finish by about 11 o'clock at the latest.
As for caravan washing, again that was happening but was very quiet. I could barely hear the power washer and I was on the same grass area as the person complaining about that.
My own experience of Ashridge Farm was very positive. It is quiet, very clean and tidy. The wardens do an excellent job. The site is ideally located for visiting many interesting places such as the Shuttleworth Collection, Wimpole Hall and, of course, the Imperial War Museum at Duxford. If you go there you need good walking shoes and allow at least a whole day to see everything, possibly two days if you are like me and want to read every information board.
We spent a most enjoyable week at Ashridge Farm and would certainly recommend it.
terrible air traffic noise
It isn't peaceful at all. There was terrible air traffic noise. Even in the night. We could't sleep.

Just Don't Pitch Near The Caravan Wash Bay
We stayed at Ashridge Farm for 3 nights over the bank holiday weekend. This is our third visit to this site and were looking forward to another peaceful weekend away. On arrival, we had the choice of hard standing or a grass pitch, this time we opted for a grass pitch because the weather was glorious and from past experience, getting pegs into the ground on the hard standing pitches is a bit of a nightmare. The first couple of days was great, it was nice and peaceful and spent we nearly all of our time sat out in the sunshine. It wasn't until the day before we were due to leave that things took a bit of a downhill turn. Again we were sat outside reading in the sunshine when someone the other side of the hedge behind our pitch started to hose down their caravan in the storage yard. The noise was awful and an hour and a half later, he was still at it. When the breeze picked up, it meant we were also getting wet as the water spray was blown in our direction. I tried to get the chaps attention but he either couldn't hear me over the noise of the jet spray on the caravan or was ignorantly ignoring me. I decided to speak to reception to be told that it is in fact a wash down bay and was told that there is nothing that they could do about it. The storage yard at this site is large so why on earth would you put a wash down bay backing onto site holiday pitches? I was offered the option to move but that wasn't ideal as we had everything set up. We were not advised on arrival that there was a wash down bay there and it wasn't shown on the site map either. Anyhow, about 15 minutes later the chap washing his van had finished and then appeared to move his van away from the area. Peace at last we thought .... until another caravan owner moved another vehicle onto the bay and proceeded to wash it down. Haven't people got anything better to do on a lovely bank holiday weekend? At this point we gave up on the peace and quiet and took a walk to the local pub. To be honest, this experience has put us off visiting this site again, it really ruined the weekend for us.
First but not last visit
A really lovely site, very relaxed atmosphere with great wardens. Level, good sized pitches with great dog walking nearby. The village of Ashwell is an easy walk and very pretty. Would highly recommend this site for peace and quiet and we will return.
