Tranquility.

Stayed here for 6 nights over Christmas 2016 and had the most enjoyable Christmas in our 'van. It is handy from the A1(M) but do take the recommended route. The entrance and exit off the A505 does need some caution but otherwise access is good and the A505 is a very busy road and is dual carriageway and thus a 70 mph limit. The wardens were magnificent with wine and mince pies to entice us in for a chat and despite the site being full most of the time, it was quiet and the toilet block accessible all the time, except during cleaning time. Cleanliness top notch, as was tidiness of the site and all well maintained. The only thing that I could comment adversely on was the state of the boundary fences and in part, the hedge. These could do with a refurbishment and some additional planting on the hedges. The only noise intrusion was the occasional aircraft making for Luton airport. On the access road to the site was an honesty stall and box where we bought eggs, marmalade and pickle at very reasonable prices.....and very tasty too. Wildlife on the site extends to black pheasants and black squirrels that are unique to the area but you have to be lucky to see them. Ashwell is a delightful village with its natural springs used in the past for drinking water as well as doing the washing. There are still signs of the infrastructure for these. Shops include, a butcher, general store, café, boutique, and also a GP surgery as well as a dentist. A large green in the centre allows for relaxation and recreation during the warmer weather. Overall a 10/10, the only downside from a family point of view is the lack of children facilities but as 'silver tops' this didn't worry us at all.
