 Just returned from a frosty cold blue sky weekend that overall we both enjoyed at Waterloo Farm. Piglet 4's review is very harsh in our book, the pot holes are not that bad and as for muddy yes its's February!
The pitch overlooking the lake was great, loads of space and a great view in the morning from your door step. Breakfast evening meal and Sunday lunch were very nice. Welcoming staff always eager to help.
The Wardens were very friendly and informative. 45 mins along the old railway track to Market Harborough was very pleasant.
However, we had continual problems with the electrics which really need to be sorted out ASAP and in all fairness spoilt the weekend away a bit. Most of the toilets were closed due to power issues which again need sorting. The rest were clean and functional but with very few open this would cause problems if there were many more units on site. We are back in May so will report back after that trip.

Feel the latest review was a little harsh, yes there are potholes ( there are on a number of our roads throughout the country) but to be fair to the site the weather has been a huge factor resulting in said potholes and mud, hopefully the site will get on top of things and will be back to its normal self a nice peaceful relaxed site.
Very handy for walking or cycling into market harbourgh along the Brampton valley way, handy tearoom for meals.
Dog friendly. Very large pitches but do pack rock pegs and a hammer.

First of all let me make it clear this was a very wet week so even allowing for that under foot conditions were terrible. We were on the lakeside site. This was not our first time herw as we have been here for a number of years but it has slowly gone downhill.
There is no storm drains only natural drainage which drain off the main driveway in to the awnings and as this is not proper hardstanding, but red coloured quarry waste, everything gets covered in red mud. The toilets / showers need some attention as they are looking very drab.
At the time they were having problems with the electric supply and the contractors turned up around 09:00 and just turned off the power without any warning. If you enjoy fishing and its dry this is a great site, but if it's wet it's best to avoid it.

It was our first time visiting this site, and will probably be our only. When we arrived it was raining, never a good start, we pulled over and went into the tea shop to let them know we had arrived, they were very polite, but then went on to inform us that they were having power problems on the lake pitches, and that we could either move onto a different area, or if problems occur that we would have to move, we decided to stay on the pitch we booked.
Then got told that the men's toilet's and showers were out of order and then the woman's shower is broken, but can still use the 1 toilet, but the family room can be used by everyone, this was 1 shower and 1 toilet in very cold and damp wooden sheds.
We booked hardstanding, as she showed us to our pitch, the potholes were just unbelievable, our pitch was waterlogged and not tarmac hardstanding, it's a type 1 road covering that goes on before the tarmac, and it was awful to sludge around walking in it. But thought tomorrow's another day, must be better.
We had a few power cuts, but ok. And although no more rain, there is no drainage and the road and pitches were just a muddy swamp, luckily it froze a few mornings, so the dogs didn't come back looking like a lump of wet mud.
The overall campsite is very run down, some areas are like a travellers site and it needs a whole lot of investment put into it. It has so much potential, but needs proper built toilet's and showers. We left a day early as we were just so disappointed with this site.
The web site certainly doesn't look anything like it actually does.

We just got back from spending 3 nights at Waterloo Farm. Booked online and no problem when we turned up, in fact the owner took us to our pitch and explained everything, very friendly.
I thought the campsite could do with a little bit of tender loving care, in places it did look a bit tired.
The facilities were very good, the toilet and showers in the log cabins were clean and warm and a really nice size so no wet clothes when you are cramped in a small enclosure.
I did have a little problem adjusting the shower to the desired temperature but when I used the one in the adjacent room it was much better, so that could have been me!
We had a pitch right on the lake and I particularly enjoyed the fishing, fish were in very good condition.
Walked into Market Harborough, a very pleasant walk and no traffic at all so excellent for the dog as was the adjacent field.
You need to be aware that the pitches next to the lake are hardstandings so you need 'rock pegs' and a decent lump hammer. I had neither but the shop sells them and a fellow camper came to my aid with a hammer.
Not really to do with the actual site but as this was only the second time we have camped in this country we were so impressed with how friendly fellow campers are!

Have just returned from our third stay on the Wellington Lake. We were not disappointed. Greeted by friendly staff in the lovely tea room, no problems with pitch, they are all of a generous size and fully serviced.
Very spacious shower rooms, proper adjustable temperature showers and nice and clean. We stayed for three nights, its a really peaceful atmosphere with plenty of wildlife particularly Geese and groups of Goslings (not so quiet but lovely to see).
Fishing was good, saw some very big carp, caught a few but we are pleasure anglers so don't try particularly hard. Security is good with Managers making their rounds several times a day.
We will be back.

Just returned fromA lovely Weekend at Waterloo Farm. A lovely quiet peaceful site, great site if you like peace and quiet, countryside, walks, bike rides etc and fishing but we don't fish. Lovely tea room with nice food, James made me something different as I don't eat meat thank you. Made very welcome and then left in peace.
A couple of loo/shower rooms in each field, which are large and nice and warm. A place to empty for mhomes too.
Cant wait to return next year

Having stayed here twice previously we were almost put off by some previous guests reviews. As we really like the fishing on the lakeside pitches we decided to go back and we were not disappointed. The site owners were extremely helpful and accommodating with a couple of our requests.
The facilities were cleaned each morning, soap, paper towels and toilet rolls were all available. Pitches are of an excellent size with 2 pegs to fish from on the lakeside. Fishing was really good as always with good sized carp, bream etc.
Lovely walks in both directions along the Brampton Valley Way and Market Harborough is a lovely town to visit. Will definitely return in the future.

We have returned from a two night stay at this site.
Checking in very pleasant we were on the family site as this was the only one left not much of a view but ok for a couple of Nights. Went on the track on our bikes the tunnel is worth a visit.
The toilets and shower cubical clean and tidy but I felt it needed some external lighting at night as did the walk back from the cafe/bar no lighting at all. We had a meal which I found very enjoyable and a nice bottle of wine.
This is a very quiet and relaxing site I would visit again.

Very welcoming site owner on arrival, showing us to our pitch. We had a pitch lakeside so awesome if you fish (cost included in pitch fee). Shower/toilet block is two wood 'chalet' type sheds which were clean and warm with two rooms in each for men and women.
Site could do with some cosmetic attention like hiding tractors equipment etc, and some planting up with bushes between fishing pitches as it gets cool if the wind picks up. Close to lovely town Market Harborough and Foxton locks if you wish to go offsite. A disused railway line runs through the site so makes good for walks/dog walks
Forgot to say site reception doubles as a café where they do sunday lunches, teas, snacks, they even had a wedding reception for one of the campers the weekend we were there so assuming licensed for drinks.
Only major fault is the bin area not being very tidy/organised and a very rude/short cleaning lady who got snappy with us whilst trying to guess where the overflowing rubbish area was suitable for our bags.
