Motorhome - Electric Gravel Touring PitchesSep 2024

Lovely, peaceful site very close to Leicester. Suited as we had a wedding in Leicester. Peaceful rural site with excellent facilities. Powerful hot showers the best we've come across. Saffron and Glen were very quick to respond with any queries. Will return. Five stars!

Very nice stay

We were positively surprised. After we arrived, we had some issues with our booking, but a very nice neighbour helped us out. In the end, we had a nice and calm stay and will come back for our next holiday in England.

Excellent sleepy hollow peaceful campsite with some luxuries thrown in like good wifi and bathroom facilities. The showers were particularly good with a powerful jet of hot water to wash a days travelling away.
