Just came back from a two night stay at Ashridge, our first break this year.  Very nice site, small and clean. Lovely wardens.  A ten minute walk to the village, and two dog friendly pubs.  We ate at the Crown, good pub food and a lovely atmosphere. Nice walks from the site so the dog loved it.  Such a shame about the building work going on right next to the site. It did not worry us at all but wouldnt go back in the summer when you would want to sit outside, as quite noisy.  Hopefully a lot of the ground work will be finished by then so might not be so much heavy machinery, but feel really sorry for the wardens having to put up with noise for most of the year.
