We love this site and have stayed on many occasions. It's a very peaceful site, the access is great and the space between the pitches is generous. The quality and cleanliness never falters, thanks to the extremely hard work of the dedicated and friendly Wardens! On this trip however, we were dismayed by the thoughtless leaving of showers running and the fact that some don't seem able to clean up after themselves or their dogs. The site is extremely well situated for trips to a wide variety of places, such as Cambridge [the park and ride is only a 20 minute drive away]. There's also Wimpole Hall and other NT properties not too far away - all well worth a visit. Hitchin is a little gem of a market town and Letchworth Garden City is also worth a visit [the museum is very interesting]. The three pubs in the village are all good, we particularly like The Rose & Crown and The Three Tuns - good food and choice of beers. We also recommend Crumps, the village butchers, who have an excellent choice of homemade pies / cheeses etc. The Village Magazine [on sale in the Warden's office] is always worth a read as Ashwell is very lively and there's usually something going on.
