Date of Visit: October 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Yachtmasteruk 5 reviews from this member

 I would really like you all to think that this site is rubbish. I want you to think that it is not worth a visit and I want you to stay away, because the truth is that this adults-only site is a little gem and if I tell you that, you will all start to visit regularly like we do and so there will never be a pitch available when we want one!

We have been here on several occasions and absolutely love the tranquility of the site, the quality of the touring park facilities (which are being expanded again for 2013) and the welcome from Lizzy & Joe (& young Arthur!) the site managers.

Most of the pitches are large, level and tarmac with a well kept grassy area for awnings and are full-service with power, water, grey waste and TV point. There are a few around the perimeter which are large, but not full-service and the prices reflect the differences.

The prices have gone up a little for 2013 but still feel like excellent value for money to us, given that the site is only an hour from home and we use it for weekends away in our pride & joy when we can't get more time off from work to go further afield.

We don't fish, but I am told the fishing is excellent and the lakes make for a lovely stroll in the evening on the way to the pleasant and well-stocked bar for a pint or two. The same facility servies an excellent cooked breakfast at a very reasonable price each morning - a great way to finish the weekend prior to packing up to travel home.

All in all, one of the nicest sites we have ever visited and one we will continue to use for as long as you lot stay away so we can get a pitch!

 A quality, peaceful adults only site. Individual fully serviced pitches located around a small lake. Be even better as the planting matures. Well laid out with use of quality materials. Eight individual en-suite toilet facilities mark this out as a different type of site. The reception + bar + cafe add to the site amenities while staff are friendly and helpful. A paradise for anglers while plenty of footpath walking in and around the site. Will definitely go again.

Reviewer: DAHAWKES 3 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a week stay at this lovely Adults only campsite. The pitches are all laid out with hard standing for caravan and car and grass for the awning. Plenty of space.

The Toilet and shower facilities is like stepping into a hotel bathroom and spotless.

The Staff are very friendly and helpful, the club house has a very friendly feel and the breakfasts served are lovely.

The fishing is good, the lakes well kept, plenty of walks for the dogs. A few nice villages around to do shopping.

We enjoyed it so much we have booked for 2 weeks next year

Reviewer: Siluspoker 7 reviews from this member

 What a fantastic place to visit, we arrived at reception and was welcomed, given info then a map, the map was given last so we remembered directions, nice touch.

We arrived at out pitch (30) and it was next to a large pond, there are some seriously big fish in there, soon parked up, awning up and chilled.

My wife went to the toilet and came back saying it was 5* facilities so I had to have a nosey, yep, definitely 5*.

In the evening we went to the club house, there was live music and a pizza van there, we had a great time and will definitely return.

Only 1 night and feel well relaxed, if it's quiet and relaxing you want then this is the place (great for fishing I'm told, don't fish)

Only 1 think I would suggest and that's take a rubbish bag as they are not given out but that's it.

Reviewer: Robdought 5 reviews from this member

 This is the best touring site we have ever visited. The toilet and shower areas are excellent, They are better equipped then some top hotels we have stayed in over the years

The staff are very friendly and helpful nothing is too much trouble to them.

Nimo pulls a good pint of Thatchers Gold and John Smiths.

This is a new site and run with hands on owners and family. All there staff are 5 star. If you want peace and tranquillity and seven brilliant fishing lakes then this is the place for you. Once you've been once to this venue you will be taken back with all the site and it's high standards.

My wife says don't forget to mention the long days fishing. (ha ha)

We've booked again next week.

Negative point put your sat Nav a bucket of water.

Reviewer: LMD59 7 reviews from this member

 This is one of the best sites we have ever visited, we stayed here 3 times in 2012 and are booked for March 2013.

The pitches are of a good size, most are fully serviced and hardstanding. The facilities are second to none, exceptionally clean and really luxurious for a camp site. The lake in the middle gives the site a nice feel and it is lovely to hear the ducks settling down at night.

Although this site does not have a pub within walking distance the clubhouse serves good beer and wine and has a really friendly atmosphere and they sometimes have live music. You can even get a Chinese take away delivered to the site, what more do you need.

We will definitely be using this site again.

Reviewer: Carpet man 1 review from this member

 Just returned from 3 nights over the August bank holiday.

All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

The pitches are large and come with power, water and waste water drain.

The clubhouse on site serves breakfasts and drinks. On the Sunday night there was live entertainment which was excellent.

The shower blocks are modern, clean and there is plenty of room to put your stuff after showering.

Melton Mowbray is about 10 minutes by car and is well worth a visit on market days.

Also recommend the pork pies!

Rutland Water is also well worth visiting which is about 30 minutes by car.

If you want a quiet relaxing break with good facilities then this is for you.

We have booked again for another short break - looking forward to it already. 


Date of Visit: August 2012 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Cootub 2 reviews from this member

 We recently upgraded from a tent to a caravan after finally having enough of living in mud!

So we wanted somewhere local ish with fishing to try out the new van, came across this campsite after looking on here, and what can I say, we were not disappointed.

We were running late yet the reception staff were very helpful and didn't mind waiting for us, we were given a very warm and friendly welcome.

Went to our pitch and was very impressed with the size of the pitches, plenty of space on the hardcore for the van and the car to go and then a good sized patch of grass for an awning if you want one, we had nice weather ( luckily as we had the dog with us ) so we didn't put one up.

The site is newly refurbed and there are lots of little trees planted inbetween and behind each pitch, once these have grown up a bit more it will give you more privacy, but even with them not being big you still didn't feel overlooked.

The toilets blocks are great, personally I think they need a few more, but we never had to wait long. You get a key code to get into the individual toilet blocks, just don't forget to manually lock it once inside! Inside there is a little section with hairdryer, bench, information, then you have toilet, 2 sinks and a shower cubicle, the music playing adds a nice little touch, the lighting could be a touch brighter in the bench section, but it was by no means too dark.

The fishing lakes are great, no pressure to pay, they just come round during the day to collect your money from your peg. We had some really good catches and there are plenty of lakes to choose from.

We didn't go to the clubhouse so cant comment.

The whole site seemed to be a friendly atmosphere, and being adults only was lovely and quiet.

I would definitely recommend this site and we have already booked to go back. If you do go, you need to ignore tom tom towards the end of the journey and follow this signs, we got a little lost at first but we found it not too bad.

Reviewer: Red51 12 reviews from this member

 Just returned from 2 nights at this wonderful site. I fully endorse the previous reviews as we found everything about this site first class. The driveway in sets the scene with neatly trimmed verges and an impressive gateway.

Booking in was friendly and informative. Also very helpful next morning giving advice on the best fotpaths into Melton Mowbray, (takes about 40 minutes at a slow amble).

Plots large with level area for van. Shower block is the best we have experienced.

I fished both days and the lakes are well kept with loads of places to fish, even though it was a weekend and matches were taking place still plenty of room.

Clubhouse Saturday night was a surprise as there was a band on and they were a real hit, filling the dance floor. The local beer Hop on is also worth a try.

Will be returning at the next opportunity.

 Well, what can we say another excellent Tranquil Touring Parks member (have also stayed at Daisy Bank in Montgomery and The Old Oaks at Glastonbury).

Peaceful and tranquil adult only site with excellent fishing facilities which added to the peace and relaxation (according to the fishermen we spoke to the 7/8 lakes are excellent). Site is mainly geared to fishing, also has lodges for hire and opened the adult only caravan/camping site this year (2012).

Plenty of walks for the dogs, our springers loved the long grass, and we did keep them on the leads around the fishing lakes so not to disturb the fishing!

Well laid out and beautifully maintained site with tarmac hardstaning and grass for awning/sitting out and pitches are all fully serviced with water, power, waste and tv. Planted really well with hedging and shrubbery (which will look lovely once it has grown a little being freshly planted).

Shower blocks are excellent. Each one is in effect an en-suite, you open the door on comes the light and music and you have your own toilet, sink, shower, dressing area and hairdryer. Very well maintained and cleaned by the site staff. We didn't use the laundry or washing up facilities but these were equally immaculatley maintained.

There is a clubhouse which does breakfasts in the mornings (and breakfast butties to the fishing pitches) and drinks in the evenings (we didn't use these facilities on this occasion, but they looked very nice in the beautiful log cabin building).

Small shop with basic essentials. Melton Mowbray is just up the road with fabulous Pork Pies and Stilton cheese and a weekly market and car boot.

Excellent - can't wait to go back.

Reviewer: Winter spice 4 reviews from this member

 What a fantastic site, a fishermans haven! We had a week there and it was really good. I could relax whilst my husband went fishing.

There were a few nice villages close by, Melton Mowbray being one of them with a good market.

The site is very picturesque and will look even better when all the hedges have grown.

I could not believe the toilet block it is one of the best I have seen.

It was the queens jubilee while we were there and the owners had live music and home made fish and chips at a very good price.

A lovely site we will definitely go back next year

 This is a brand new Adult Only Touring Site near Melton Mowbray this is what attracted us and the early promotion 15% discount.

This site is a anglers paradise with 7/8 stocked lakes and disabled access.

On arrival the reception/bar/restaurant/shop is in a superb log cabin and very helpful staff.

All touring pitches have Tarmac for unit and car with grass for awning but we thought this area needs to improve.

The Touring pitches are spacious and fully service including tv hook up a adaptor is needed for this. There is also 6 super pitches extended for bigger caravans/motorhomes.

The toilet block and disabled is outstanding.

The shop needs to be bigger but Melton Mowbray is three miles away.

The take away service is great if caravanners don't want to cook

We will be going back to this site next year

 Fantastic Site. Made to feel very welcome. Security involved high gates with push button codes.

No local pubs but a bar on site with free wifi, tv, dvd hire and pool table.

Fishing on site around 7 lakes allowed Day Fishermen with supervised children but the caravan area was exclusively adults with serviced pitches and grass for the awnings.

Great access to field for dog walking.

Eight washrooms underfloor heated and individual. Included a shower, a loo, a sink, a hairdryer and plenty of room to move around.

Washing up block equally immaculate.

A light aircraft assumedly flown in by owner of field was an unexpected delight landing along side us.

Will definitely re-visit and recommend to everyone.

Added pleasure - Melton Mowbray Pork Pies

Reviewer: Jinty15 5 reviews from this member

 Just spent two weeks on this site. The staff were very friendly and help full, the toilets were the best I have seen, I loved the privacy they gave you. The only down side was there were not enough of them if the site was busy. The pitches were tarmac and well serviced however the grassy area for the awning did not drain well thus we found it for the most part unusable. However that said I would go back (just not pitch 12).
