First the good, the pub is nice, good food at reasonable prices and the landlady deserves the good words of other reviewers. We arrived after dark and were welcomed in. Also they ensured we were able to eat before the kitchen closed; nice grub too. However, and it's a big one, the actual campsite was a real disappointment.
Basically it's a field next to the pub car park with a pretty grim toilet/shower cabin setup actually in the car park.
If you arrive late make sure you have torches as there's no lighting at all. The parking appeared haphazard, we were directed to a spot some distance from the nearest hook up (in fairness the landlady provided an extension lead).
As others have said, there's a lot of what appears to be permanent caravans; I appreciate times are hard and the pub needs to widen it's income, but they should at least try to give tourers more consideration and a feeling of being in the right place. Basically it's OK for an overnight stop (and open all year).
Finally, beware of their 'how to find us' instructions. The roads have changed a lot in recent years (big upgrade to the M1 junction for starters, there's no help if you are coming from the West and frankly we resorted to good old fashioned map reading in the end.
We stayed at The Rose and Crown camp site in our motor home for 4 nights in February when the snow came down and the temperature dropped to minus 10. The cost per night was excellent value and we were given a discount by the Landlady for staying several nights. I also appreciated the fact that electrical link up was optional, as I have my own supply from the solar panels on my Motorhome roof; being compulsorily charged by other sites is exploitation. We were parked on a hard standing, very important with snow and slush about.
I was running 4 marathons in 4 days in the snow and ice at Milton Keynes. Because of this I needed a hot shower every evening and not only had one but the shower cabin was well heated. We also needed refueling for the next day’s race. The Rose and Crown provided excellent service including 5 star quality meals at a very reasonable cost. As I am Vegetarian and my wife not we tried many different meals from their extensive menu. The large log fire on such cold nights was very nice. Not only was every one of the staff friendly and helpful but their customers also made us feel at home. We will certainly return when we pass that way again.
Stayed for one day. When ringing that very morning of stay, was warned of a private function so the site would be noisy.
Although I had a young child so turned in early, we heard nothing from the function or party goers. Only the beautiful hourly chimes of the local church bells
The pub was lovely & the children's park in the garden was suited to younger children as well as older. The restaurant was fully booked with party goers which was a shame.
The toilets outside did leave a lot to be desired & didn't attempt the shower but at £7. 50 & only spending the day there, I'm would not complain. I pitched next to the entrance of the woods & would return in a shot.
Stayed 2 nights, paid £14.50 per night with electric. Pluses :
Wonderful views from your pitch. Pub served excellent food and was great value. Good beer. Lovely welcome. Great countryside for walks.
Minuses: toilets and showers let them down. Although clean they were really old and I wasn't keen on using them. They were also unisex so if a lady went in to use a cubicle she might come out and see a man a couple of feet in front of her at the urinal. So I preferred to use my caravan facilities. If they improved this one aspect it would be great.
We stayed at this site for 3 nights in March. The site itself is very pleasant with a small wood adjacent to it which is ideal for dog walking. The facilities are fairly basic but very clean and well looked after. The pub itself is lovely and very welcoming. Food is excellent and well priced. For those who like a good pint the beer is well kept and of superior quality. Dogs are welcome in the bar which is an added bonus. There is a nice rear garden with a covered area for us smokers.
This site is basically a field behind a pub. There are a number of rather scruffy-looking apparently derelict caravans on the site - some were actually occupied, though they clearly hadn't been moved for some time.
The field itself is quite pleasant, mainly level and had been newly mown. A woodland, great for dog-walking, is accessed from the far right corner of the field (this is why we chose this site).
The pub is nice - good food, friendly service, nice garden and small children's play area.
Shower and toilet facilities were very basic. Far too basic for the £14.50 we paid (this included hook up, however). One rather mouldy shower in one room of an elderly portable cabin in the pub car park, and two toilets, two urinals and two basins in another small room in the same portable cabin. All unisex. I was not thrilled at the idea of doing my daily ablutions and teeth brushings right next to a couple of urinals!
The facilities were clean after a fashion, but I don't know when the floor had last seen a mop. There was often a queue for the facilities - standing with your towel and wash-bag with a few strangers outside a portable cabin in a pub car park is not my idea of a good time, it has to be said. Unisex facilities also not ideal for children - safety-wise etc.
In short, an okay site for a one-night stop over if you can't find anything else, but I wouldn't go for longer than that.
Stayed from Good Friday. Parking next to tent / caravan not allowed - have to leave in pub car park though I did ask permission as I wanted to use the car battery for my tent light and I was allowed to pitch just outside the main camping area at the end of the pub car park. No fence, gate or security whatsoever and quite a small camping area.
Bit noisy at night when the pub emptying but that's not a problem if you're already in there! Facilities basic - one shower for everyone in a portable cabin which was hot and a heater which came on automatically which was nice as it was a bit chilly early April, and another small portable cabin with 2 toilets, 2 basins and 2 urinals for all to use with a bolt on the main door so only one person at a time could get in.
Not the best arrangement, could do with sexes separated. All kept very clean no matter what time of day I used them.
Mainly caravans and motorhomes there, guess using their own facilities. Plus point is the pub is really nice and food looked good and reasonably priced though I did not eat there.
Great for Woburn Safari Park, only a few minutes away by car. Woburn village useful for shopping. Ridgmont is a very pretty village, hardly any traffic, benefitting greatly from the by-pass. Staff friendly and helpful.
Backs on to fields with a wood, useful for the dog or children. Can't remember how much it was but it must have been reasonable otherwise I would not have booked it! Would visit again.
We stayed here as it is convenient for Flitwick where we visited some friends.
The field has no real views, just lots of old, semi-permanent caravans with people living in them.
Noisy is an understatement. Late at night when the pub turns out, the drunks go to their caravans and tents and shout and continue drinking until the small hours.
We stayed with some friends who had a tent and obviously needed to us the facilities – Absolutely dire! We felt very lucky to have a loo and shower in the motorhome.
I had a very happy 3 weeks at this site. Dave was very helpful and friendly, the pub served good drink and very tasty, reasonably priced food. The location to the M1 was really close and easy & I easily accessed the Post Office at Woburn,( free parking close by ), Tesco at Flitwick and of course, all manner of shops in nearby Milton Keynes.( Milton Keynes Theatre 10.4 miles away, 15 mins drive £1.50 to park all day !)
The unisex loos ( 2 cubicles, 2 urinals ) and the 1 shower, were not posh,but they functioned well, I didn't experience any queues and they were kept clean.
Cars, after unhitching, were kept on the carpark at the side of the camping field, but the field had no gate on it, so, as a security measure, I would have been happier had there been a gate with a padlock on it or some other visible deterrent for would be thieves.
I would definitely return to this site, and have good memories from my stay.
