Hill Farm Caravan and Camping Site Reviews

Very good, clean and flat site

Very friendly and clean toilets. Made us feel welcome, only down side is that it's on the flight path for East Midlands Airport. Field good, short grass, every pitch has its own E/hook up and water.

Beautiful campsite

Lovely welcome when we arrived in our motorhome. The site was not very busy so we were told we could choose our pitch. We had booked a fully serviced pitch. Beautiful outlook, large pitches and the sun shone. The shower and washing up facilities were spotless and credit to the guys/gals in charge. We had a lovely stay and even contemplated staying another night, but we had already booked our next stop (if we had known what was coming we would have stayed where we were). There is a pub in the local village but unfortunately, the night we walked down, there was a private function on. We did walk to the Mercia Marina along the towpath of the canal, which is worth a visit, lovely shops and an ace tea room. It is quite a walk though. We guessed it was about 4 miles each way - but it was a lovely day and the canal was really peaceful. Would stay again!

Great place to visit

Really enjoyed my weekend, great place to explore. lovely clean camp.well worth a visit. Not to busy. Nice clean ablutions. Would love to visit again.

Fantastic place/location

Tara looked after us from booking to departure. Lovely friendly service.

Beautiful site

We had a lovely weekend. Owners made you very welcome and they were very friendly people. It was a very clean and tidy site, we will definitely be returning.

Lovely 2 night stay

Just spent 2 nights here and we really enjoyed it. Weather helped 😆 pod was comfy had most things you needed for a comfy stay. Shower and toilet facilities were very good. Lovely setting just on the flight path for East Midlands but didn't really bother us. Lovely family run site who saved my bacon as I forgot my phone charger (thanks again). Will deffo return. Thanks for a lovely stay.😀

Not as clean as we're used to

Stayed last year and loved everything about it. Location, pitch size, facilities, and cleanliness were all perfect - however, for some reason, the toilet cleanliness wasn't quite up to standard this time round. Toilets smelt bad, they weren't very clean at all and no sanitiser in the dispensers either :(

Great place to stay

Upon arrival we were met by a very friendly gentleman who could not have done more to help us. Really nice, quiet setting, good facilities and very well maintained. I had forgotten my sleeping bag and was lent one to help out - what a nice thing to do! Great people, great campsite. Thank you again, see you next year!

Nice site

Nice place with good pitches. Great if you bring a bike as it has lots of cycle paths close by. Sinks and toilets got a bit dirty sometimes but outdoor toilets and showers were good. Shame there were no recycling bins on site.

Beautiful stay

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay here, thanks for being so welcoming. It's a very clean, beautiful site with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Loved the outdoor showers and the log hot tub. We really enjoyed being in the countryside, cooking outdoors, going for walks and our doggie Nellie loved it too! We will most definitely be returning - thanks again!

Great site

Great site, good choice of pitches with great facilities. Will definitely be returning.

Enjoyable time at a spacious and affordable site

The site is spacious with plenty of room on each pitch. The pitches are round the edge of a large field ideal for playing games and letting the young ones play while being visible. The facilities were as you’d expect although I guess the showers could have a queue in busy periods. The site is under a flight path but for most outdoor types that’s no issue, it wasn’t for us. It’s also convenient for supermarkets, pubs, walks and other adventures. Only grumble was the (later than a lot) curfew of 11pm which did disturb the youngsters but that was known when we booked. Would definitely recommend and use this site again if in the area.

Fun break away

We have never done glamping before, we have stayed in our own tent previously. I would highly recommend anyone considering it. We took everything we would normally take camping but really enjoyed all the extras. Facilities were excellent and site is in easy reach of lots of things to do to keep you occupied.

Did not expect a site like this for price!

Very good value for your money- plenty of room, grass cut short, nice clean toilets and helpful staff. Good pubs nearby. A good, well-run site.

BEST PLACE & BEST STAY

I almost don't want to give a good review as I would like to keep this place to myself. The site is lovely and so are the family that run it (including the two Chihuahuas). The site is very well kept and so is the toilet and shower block. It's very peaceful and completely surrounded by beautiful green countryside. There are lovely walks in every direction and a canal literally 3 minutes walk down the road. I am most certainly going to make this place my second home. I only booked 4 nights but ended up staying for 6 nights. I can't speak highly enough of this place.

Perfect

Fabulous one night stay mid-week. Great facilities, lots of showers and toilets. Quiet location and a lovely encounter with the stewardess for a quick and efficient check in.

Clean facilities, friendly, helpful staff

We liked this site a lot. The only problem is the hump backed bridge on the approach on which the rear of our caravan hit the road, so I wouldn't recommend for larger vehicles or caravans.

Good

The shower got colder on our last day but overall it was a nice place.

Great friendly owners

Good fun at this very well kept site.

Good services

The staffs are friendly and helpful. The facility is clean. We will go back again.

Had the best time, would definitely recommend

So clean and the service was great, we will definitely be coming back!

Amazing!

It was amazing! The staff were so friendly and made us feel really at home, the pod was really well equipped and cosy, and the hot tub was easy to use.

We had such a good time, we booked an extra night

We had such a good time, we even booked an extra night! The campsite is in a beautiful quiet spot. The pod we stayed in was very clean, we had a large decking area and a woodfired hot tub. What a treat to lie in a hot tub and look up at the stars. The shower block was clean and the showers were lovely and hot. There were extra toilets and showers provided behind the block. The most amazing part was the managers of the campsite. Such a lovely family, nothing was too much trouble. They even took us to the train station when we couldn't get a taxi that wasn't extortionate. We had such a lovely chilled time. Will definitely return in the summer.

Signage goes a long way!

Arrived at this site on Friday evening after work for a weekend away. The road to the site is a dead end so you would expect clear signage to tell you where the entrance to the site is. It's not even labelled Hill Farm. We ended up driving straight past and then had to reverse a caravan in the pitch black along a narrow road. Eventually got into the site and again, no sign of where to go and no sign of life - it was 6.30pm and dark. Eventually, a young girl came out and said you want to go down there to pitch 10. We drove down in the dark and looked for numbers which, of course, there wasn't anything clearly marked. Walked round the field in the dark with a torch to see where we needed to be and eventually took pot luck at a space. We didn't see the owners again and weren't given any information about the site itself. The site was ok - nothing great but it was fine for 2 nights. I wouldn't stay again due to the location.

Site's response

Many thanks for your review, we value and appreciate your feedback. We are so sorry your stay with us did not meet your expectations. First impressions are important. We have reviewed your comments and will be installing clearer signage in the next few days. We will also ensure that future guests are suitably shown to their pitches, as on this occasion we clearly failed. This, together with improved signage, should prevent these kinds of issues. Once again, many thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve our site for future visitors.

Great apart from Storm Eunice

Couldn't have picked a worse weekend with the storms but still thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Very clean facilities and the owners were brilliant, they couldn't help us enough! Will definitely stay again but more towards the summer this time, haha!
