Lovely quiet site

A great welcome from the Wardens Paul and Jill on arrival, this is a great site in a lovely location being on the edge of a stunning woodland with a variety of walks and cycling, there is a cafe and cycle hire too. If you have a dog this is doggy heaven. We will definately be visiting again, but taking our bikes next time. Thank you to the Wardens for a very in depth chat about the job of a Warden which was very interesting, with some great stories.

Wonerful site. Busy but Peaceful

Stayed here July 2019 with a caravan. Most pitches were occupied but the site didn't seem busy, although it was outside the school holiday period. There are Forestry Commission woods accessible directly from the site and these are marked with several trails of 2,3 and 5 miles, but you can mix and match if you want. Ideal for walking, cycling and horse riding. My Wife is disabled and can walk only a few metres, but, using an electric bike, she managed and enjoyed the 5 mile circuit twice (2 separate days) and the 3 mile circuit on a third day. The trails are well signed, have benches on which to rest, nature related activities for children and photo opportunities. We didn't go off site and didn't feel the need to, but were told that Rutland Water is a 15 minute drive away and also has excellent walking and cycling facilities. We will certainly be visiting again.

Peaceful (except for weekends)

Been here several times over 10-12 years. Great location but bit of a hike to a village. The surrounding woodlands are great for dog walking AND excellent for those restricted to wheels (such as wheelchairs and mobility scooters). Published site info should state this! No playground or toilets so deters families although usual 'invasion' at weekends. Expect pitches to be sloping as most are. Wardens are terrific especially Mark and Lynne who do the reliefs. .Going back again later this year. Sadly too many members seem to think that the 5mph speed limit only applies to others, not them! On the whole very much recommended.

Great Site

Always love going to this site, immaculately clean and well organised. We were greeted by the best Wardens ever this weekend, great sense of humour, friendly and very helpful. We had a problem with electric (first trip out this year) and Warden saw us struggling and came and helped. Looking forward to returning again this year.

A generally Peaceful site

Just had a relaxing weekend at this site to try out our new motorhome (we have been caravanners up until now). Helpful warden with advice about filling and emptying water - thankyou. Standard of upkeep is as you expect from Club sites - i.e. high It is the case that one side of the site is adjacent to the refurbished visitor centre carpark - being there over a weekend it was well used as was the adjacent kids play area. We were pitched next to the car park but did not find the noise in the least intrusive. I would expect it is much quieter during the week. The work is nearly complete (there was some machinery working when we arrived on the Friday) until they tree plant in the autumn. From late afternoon when the visitors left and through the evening the site was very quiet - only disturbance was the perennial dog barking & yapping! There are two wonderful adventure type play areas - one as mentioned near the carpark, the other in the woods. Lots of walks through the woods and in surrounding area. Wonderful to hear the cuckoo - even at 4.30am when I got up to go to the loo!!

Lack of important information

The forestry commission are making changes to the car park adjoining the caravan club site and it is a construction site along with dust and machinery noise during the day.Trees and bushes along the boundary have been removed so people using the new car park have full vision of the the caravan park and vice versa. It has changed the character of the caravan site and club members should be made aware of this work .

Usually a Quiet Site

Normally a lovely quiet and peaceful site which we enjoy very much. Wardens work very hard keeping the site so smart and tidy. Unfortunately the Forestry Commission are revamping their car park that runs down the side of the site. They have removed trees and shrubs so we seem to be part of the car park. The work starts around 8ish and is nearing completion but unfortunately there is a lot of dust from the lorries leaving the site right behind the caravans. Bushes have been replanted along the boundary fence but will take time to grow, once established it will be so much better. The is a Forestry Commission restaurant just outside the site entrance which is very hand for lunch! We will be back again!

Relaxing break

Relaxing break away with my dog's who had lots of fun in the woods which are next to the site. Great walks, bike rides, and a gruffello trail for the little ones. Not much else to do on site apart from chill and relax. The staff work so hard and are amazing at what they do. We'll definitely be back!

Great start to Motorhoming

We booked Stamford as our first stop on our first motorhome holiday, having hired two vans with friends. We hadn’t got off to the greatest start, hearing the hire company were on Rip off Britain and being worried about access charges etc, so we didn’t want to drive too far our first night. We couldn’t have chosen a better location and friendlier owners. The site is spotlessly clean in the beautiful Fineshade Woods, which the dogs loved exploring. Being novices to motorhoming, we were unsure of a few things but the site owners were really helpful in talking us through all the hook up and disposal stuff, they really made us feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble. They built our confidence in using the motorhomes and even helped fixed a broken hook up lead. I would really recommend this lovely little park, even though it has no shower or toilet facilities, with the home we didn’t need them and were aware of this when we booked. I would definitely return if we were in the area again. Thank you for the hospitality.
