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.
