Date of Visit: August 2019  Confirmed Booking Unit:  Touring Caravan
Nights stayed: 4 Travelling as:  Mature couple
Reviewer: Snookyputz 1 review from this member

 This is a lovely little site which is extremely well managed. We stayed the end of August into September and had decent weather to enjoy some wonderful walks in Rutland.

The owners and warden are really helpful and friendly and the honesty shop has not just essentials but a huge selection of suggested activities, walks, and places to visit.

We didn’t try the pool but it looked lovely. Toilet facilities are warm and clean, although only one shower in the ladies led to some queuing one morning.

There’s a decent amount of space between pitches and the grass is kept well manicured.

Recycling facilities excellent. We’ll certainly visit again

 An immaculately kept site - more like being in someone's garden! Very quiet and peaceful. Amazing shop/information room which works on an honesty system.

The pool is small but so pretty with all the flowers and very welcome on a hot day. Only 2 loos, one shower per sex but we did not have any problem, even though the site was full.

Only note of caution is that while the pitches themselves are well sized, access to them is rather tight and we were very grateful for the motor mover!

 Fabulous clean, quiet and friendly campsite. Beautiful welcome by the wardens who were extremely helpful regarding the site plus places to visit.

The site was absolutely immaculate and so peaceful. The shower and toilet were first class.

Reviewer: DawnAnnMason 32 reviews from this member

 This has to be one of the nicest UK sites we have ever visited. It is only a small site, but perfectly formed.

The facilities are immaculate and the information that they have on the surrounding area is extensive. Everyone is so friendly and there is a lovely, chilled laid back atmosphere.

Pete and Debbie the wardens work very hard and we had a lovely welcome on arrival. The bird feeders all around the site are a great addition and we enjoyed watching different birds including Woodpeckers come for a 'snack'.

We really really hope that they keep this site just as it is, because it's perfect! Great for dogs too as it's on a very quiet lane and there is a park in the village where you can let your dog have a run.

The village pub The White Lion is worth a visit; great food, extremely obliging and we were made to feel very welcome with our dog Rosko. This is a truly lovely area with so much to see and do. We can not wait to visit again.

A huge 10 out of 10 for Greendale and thank you for making it such a fantastic place to stay 😊

 We loved this site, the weather was terrible, but we still enjoyed it, it was just a case of dressing appropriately when we went out.

It is very quiet with just 12 pitches, the toilet/shower block is a bit dated, but very clean and it does the job, the staff are really friendly and helpful.

It is an easy walk into the village where there is a shop and pub and bus stops for Melton Mowbray in one direction and Oakham in the other, we will definitely be visiting this site again.

Nights stayed: 5 Travelling as:  Retired couple
Reviewer: JoannaLesley 60 reviews from this member

 This is a delightful little site, which feels more like camping in a garden, with an emphasis on sustainability. Gail and Barb were on duty during our stay and they were very friendly and helpful. The site feels relaxed and comings and goings were managed without any fuss and disruption.

The wash areas were spotlessly clean at all times, with plenty of hot water and good lighting. Each one (male and female) only had one shower, so I guess might get a bit pushed in the high season.

Lovely views and a half-mile or so walk to the village. There is no dedicated dog walking area, but the lane is (mostly) quiet and there is an area in the village where dogs can be safely exercised off-lead.

We had a pleasant lunch in the dog-friendly pub. The site is well situated for visits to Oakham, Rutland Water, Barnsdale Gardens, Burleigh House and so on.

Our only slight disappointment was that, apart from one area, dogs had to be on a lead around Rutland Water.

We would certainly visit both this site and the area again.

 A really magnificent site. The facilities were excellent and spotless. The welcome was first class, with fantastic views. The local pub's food was very good, and great value.

Overall, a wonderful, relaxing break.

Reviewer: Kiwi1Adventures 13 reviews from this member

 I only stayed here for one night. After being stuck in traffic for hours coming up from Kent the rigours of the journey were quickly forgotten. I chose this particular site as it was adult only and seemed to be good value for money.

The swimming pool was a lovely addition, not that I got to use it, due to aforementioned traffic.

Whilst the facilities were basic the owners place a lot of trust in their clients allowing them to wash up in what is virtually a shop come dish washing area. With only 12 pitches the available facilities reflect that.

This site is in a lovely location. I didn't get to speak with many people but everyone on site appeared friendly and relaxed.

Please note that the last part of the drive to this site is effectively a one lane road so please ensure you adhere closely to the arrival and departure times unless you are extremely good at reversing long distances. Other than that the journey is pretty relaxed unlike other sites I have reviewed. If travelling from Kent leave early and spend time at Rutland Water to avoid what has become inevitable delays caused by poor highway management, badly timed road works and drivers who think 40 is the new 70 when travelling in the passing lane. A two and a half hour drive should not take four hours.

 This is a super little site, one of the best we have stayed on. The site is immaculately kept with an emphasis on being 'green'. All pitches have electric and water nearby. There is a small shop with an honesty box. As the weather was so hot the swimming pool was an added bonus, unusual for such a small site.

Being so small it was very peaceful and the owners are very friendly, helpful with information about the area. The windmill in the village is worth a visit and the miller lets you have a look round. There is flour for sale. The high spot of our stay was the visit to Egleton and Lyndon nature reserves on Rutland Water to see the Osprey project. We had pre booked the evening Osprey cruise which was excellent.

Reviewer: Kathy Sparrow10 10 reviews from this member

 A lovely friendly site although some of the pitches were quite small. Jo and Chris were always available, if need be, and the wi-fi was second to none. A short walk down a quiet road led to the village and a dog friendly pub.

The only downside from our point of view, with two labradors, was the lack of a varied off-lead walk nearby.

 We spent a lovely week at this site. It was so nice, well kept grounds very clean showers and toilets. We were made very welcome at this site the wardens couldn't do enough for us.

It was very handy for the surrounding areas.

 Not much to add that has not been said before. Helpful, friendly people, thanks for the help hitching the van. Facilities are spotless, a lot of information can be found in the honesty shop.

We spent a couple of days in the pool; we had a lot of fun.

I will be trying to get back there in a couple of months. So peaceful!

Reviewer: Blindye 1 review from this member

 Just returned from Greendale Farm after an excellent week. Have travelled most of this country over the years and have only just found this adult only site, almost on my doorstep, that could easily now be top of my quick break 'Go To List. '

Just as its name implies, this site possesses a peaceful tranquillity which is complimented by the beautiful surrounding farmland and nature scape. The mid afternoon silence was broken only by the twittering of the birds of many varieties, the gentle bleat of a sheep with her lambs or the occasional sound of a farmer and his tractor passing by or working in the distance.

The site is owned by a very likeable, friendly (but not intrusive) couple Jo and Chris, who do put in extra effort to ensure that you are trouble free and enjoying your time with them. They even supply you with one of their well written and compiled information packs with absolutely everything you need to know to be sure to maximise your stay.

The site has 12 well spaced, quality hard standing pitches with ample well kept grass, flowers and shrubbery between them to ensure you feel comfortable and in a green, rural environment. There is even a small herb garden, just for you to pick your own for your barbecue or lunch. Around the pitches, Jo and Chris have also placed a number of regularly stocked, feeding stations for the many varied birds that enjoy living here. They will keep you amused for hours with their antics; even a family of Greater Spotted Woodpeckers visited our feeder every day.

A small office, honesty shop for a few basics and area information leaflets, pot washing, toilet and shower area are alongside a lovely, small, adult only pool. Don't expect too much here but nonetheless, it is heated, well kept, open air, safe and gorgeous for a little gentle excitement during the nice weather. We had an hour or so swimming a few strokes and sunbathing on a couple of comfy sunbeds at the poolside.

The centre of the local village of Whissendine is an easy 20min stroll away and has shop for newspapers and groceries etc. And there is a really nice pub (The White Lion) with a garden and good food. Their Sunday carvery lunch (booking recommended) is particularly popular and good quality.

I will definitely be back and I would be amazed if anyone could find anything about this lovely site that was not to the Visit England 5 star quality, that they have proudly earned.

 Been here three times now, it's so good. Small, friendly, well equipped, peaceful and within walking distance of a pub. Perfect! Very handy for Rutland Water and Barnsdale Gardens. Owners very keen on helping the environment so lots of recycling facilities.

Reviewer: Bellnooks 3 reviews from this member

 This is a truly lovely little site with only 12 pitches – it is small yet perfectly formed and we thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay here. It has everything… peace and tranquillity, beautiful farmland views, great facilities (immaculately kept), is a haven for birds and wildlife, and is only a short walk away from the village of Whissendine where the White Lion pub is very dog friendly and serves good food (just short of one mile).

There is also extensive Tourist Information on offer inside the site shop, not to mention from the most friendly, helpful and knowledgeable wardens. We must acknowledge Gail and thank her once again for driving into Oakham for us and collecting a gas cylinder (upon our gas level indicator failing us), save us taking the motorhome out solely for this reason.

There is no specific dog walk available although the reasonably quiet lane on which the site is found is generally okay for quick morning/evening outings. Rutland Water is definitely worth a visit, as is the working mill in the village. We were fortunate enough to be able to meet the miller and venture inside the mill up to the top.

Definitely a site to check out – one of the best in our view and we would love to return when next in the area.
