Date of Visit: April 2013 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: DandB 19 reviews from this member

 We recently spent a weekend at this site to give our new tent a trial pitch. The owners are friendly and helpful, allowing us to arrive later than planned, and providing prompt resolution to a minor EHU problem.

We liked the security barrier to control access to the site, restricting it to campers and the fishermen that use the site for access to the lake. A nice touch is the kitchen area with a microwave for campers use, pot washing facilities, an indoor dining table and a veranda looking over the lake. The existing facilities block (a new one is being built) also provides laundry facilities, and we liked the toilet/shower/basin all-in-one cubicles, however we would have preferred mens and ladies toilets being separate.

The site is attractive, and the lake provides a pleasant short walk. There are recently planted trees around the gently sloping site, and when these have grown a little more will provide welcome shelter - we experienced quite high winds whist staying and the location is quite exposed to these. There was a cat and an old dog, both very friendly, that wander the site giving the impression that they are looking after the campers, and several times a day ducks would waddle past the camping field.

It is a working farm, and so we experienced the smells and sounds that you would expect from this, but not to an extent that marred our stay. The farm also provides outdoor activities such as clay pigeon shooting and quad bikes, and there is a nearby airfield where tow-planes launch gliders - whilst aware of these activities, the sounds are not intrusive.

Overall a good site that we would visit again.

 We spent an unexpected weekend here after the original site we were due to go to had problems with the new hardstandings they had put in place. We are SO pleased that they did, otherwise we wouldn't have found this little gem of a site.

Fantastically clean facilities, beautiful lakeside location, lovely and quiet and very friendly and helpful owners.

There are shops and pubs available within a few miles radius of the site if you want them. Otherwise you can spend a lovely time away from any hustle and bustle.

Highly recommended and we will most definitely be returning time and again.

 Great site which allows fires. Staff are friendly as is the farm dog who wanders around saying hello (he's very old and very friendly).

There is a small shop at reception. There are two toilets with showers but they are building a larger shower block which will be great as it can get a bit frustrating in the morning if you just want to nip to the loo and people are queuing for a shower. There are a further two toilets at the back of the baby changing area which you can use once you realise they are there!

Area is lovely with some great walks, families with small children may want to pitch in the top field as some pitches are very close to the lake in the bottom field.

 We have recently stayed here over the Easter holidays. Just the two of us and the dog. The owners were very welcoming and could not do enough for us. They did not mind that we arrived later than planned after dark. However I would recommend arriving with some light if possible.

The site is in a spectacularly beautiful location. The shower blocks are clean and adequate, however the new shower blocks are on the way and look to be be near completion.

The on site facilities are great - tumble drier, washing machine, hairdryer, washing up area. There is also a small shop on site which stocks basic essentials.

Great place to relax and walk the dog, plenty of wildlife to enjoy. No problems with noise or unsupervised children. View of the lake all day was great. We did not fish but plenty did. Did not have to rush of site as with most sites.

Would recommend this site and would visit again.

 Managed to get one of the last 10amp pitches. Great view of the lake. Great for dog walking, although a few dogs were not on leads but site does say dogs must be kept on leads. Also gas bottles not caged at end of shower block and many people smoking next to them, very clever, not. Very nice owners and will be back. The shower blocks are clean with tumble dryer and microwave. The lake was frozen but will be back to try the fishing next time. This is a great little site on a working farm.

 Came to this site in one off the coldest weekends but that didn't spoil it for us

A very nice welcome from the site staff

Nice grass pitch but you need some levels as its got quite a slope

Nice walks all around and a fantastic fishing lake a little village not far away

The shower block was always spotless and well kept

Not really a lot to do around the area but we go to chill and relax walk the dog and get away from it all

Well worth a visit

Reviewer: SockLady 2 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for one night on the way up to the Lake District. A little bit further off the A14 than we first thought, but very well placed.

We arrived quite late and the reception was closed, but as they were expecting us they soon came and opened up for us to check in.

It was pretty quiet and as we didn't have electric hook up we could pitch anywhere. We decided to go near to the facilities at the bottom of the field. The facilities are in a wooden chalet, and although there are only 2 bathrooms, each with toilet, basin and shower, they were empty every time we used them. The chalet was warm and there was also a kettle and microwave in there although we didn't use these.

Overall a great find.

Reviewer: 32newton 12 reviews from this member

 Visited the site 8/9th making the most of the weather.

The site is easy to find right on the Northants Leicestershire border about 8 miles from junction 20 of the M1.

Found the staff to be helpful and friendly.

We had a non electric pitch in the top field so pitch anywhere we liked, we pitched around the bottom edge leaving the centre empty for the kids to play, there was a good mix of vans and tents, we really enjoyed the open space and watching the gliders coming overhead to land in a nearby field.

The shower toilet facilities are limited at the moment but there will be a new larger block which will be a big welcome improvement.

There is also a small kitchen area with the usual kettle, microwave and a handy seating area for all to use, this is contained in a wooden chalet type building with a veranda where you can sit and look out over the lake and the ducks or watch the sunset which was beautiful.

We explored the local area and visited the annual scarecrow festival in Lubenham which was enjoyable as well as the Foxton locks inn which served great pub food at a fair price.

We will definitely return again as its such a nice site to sit and watch the world go by.

Reviewer: Mortonn 1 review from this member

 Amazed from the beginning! I paid for a weekend camp for easter but due to the weather we cancelled. We turned up on 31/08/12 and they honoured our origional deposit! No issues, not many sites would do this. The site is very well kept the grass is well mown and the tent pegs can be knocked in with no stones or rocks. The lake is well stocked so fishing is always a good option. Staff are really well mannered and obliging and always ready to help. We will always keep this well managed and quiete site in our 'favourit' catagory. Love it!

Reviewer: LiHall 3 reviews from this member

 Just returned from a weekend break to Brook Meadow. The site is about 25mins away from where we live and found it to be the perfect getaway for us.

We had a friendly welcome when we booked in at reception and were handed a code for the security barrier which gives you access into the main site.

We didn't require elec hook up and was told we could basically pitch up anywhere on the top field. We quickly found a lovely spot, which was fairly even (although the site is on a gentle slope).

There were quite a lot of campers out but we still had plenty of space and tranquillity. We had a walk to the 'lower' field where there was a lovely fishing lake, further camping and some small holiday chalets.

There was also an impressive chalet for all campers to use which included toilets, showers, a microwave, laundry facilities and fridge. Although we have a shower in the van, my daughter was very keen to try out the showers on site.

The room was large and the shower was great with lots of warm water. We got in straight away, though I would imagine you might have quite a wait at busy times.

The plans for a new toilet/shower block is displayed on the wall. Though there isn't swings etc for the children, the space is fantastic and plenty of opportunities to play ballgames, take bikes etc.

There is a mound that my daughter spent most of the weekend playing on! We were also treated to fantastic flybys from the gliders from the nearby gliding club, which was fascinating to watch. All in all we had a great weekend.

Peaceful, but with things to see, a friendly site and lovely views. BBQ's and great weather! That's the life!

The site is in easy reach of various villages with pubs, takeaways, shops etc and we enjoyed a trip to Foxton Locks and Market Harborough.

Reviewer: Jillsol 1 review from this member

 Stayed for 3 nights and found the warden extremely friendly. We are a tent but asked for electric and were given a choice of places to pitch. It was quiet when we visited but even if it were full there is a large area of ground available for children to play ball etc without bothering other campers. This area to play (including the mound that the children loved) was clearly visible from the tent so made our stay very relaxed. The most relaxed we've been on any site with 3 young children.

The toilets were adequate - 4 toilets in all but I never had to wait. I loved the shower rooms with their own toilet and sink, one of which was large enough for our whole family of 5 to go in together.

The toilets and showers were immaculately clean. The shower was hot all times of the day.

10 min drive to nearest shop to buy food.

Market Harborough was a nice place to visit with several independent restaurants. Easy trip to Leicester.

We are planning to return.

 Cost: £36 for two adults for 3 night: reasonable.

We have stayed here a couple of times before and found the site peaceful, grass well tended albeit slightly sloping.

The new reception/shop and entry barrier are a great idea and an improvement on our last stay.

Interestingly there seemed to be two main family groups on site during our stay. One group of families set up an America flag pole (great idea for kids being able to locate their tents) and we watched enthralled as this great group of people dressed up and played cowboys and indians with quizzes with their children.

Whilst other family groups played rounders.

They seemed to respect others around them and children and dogs were well organised and supervised both during the day and night.

Sadly the second group of parents just seemed to allow their children/teenagers to run wild, their screams and shouts could be heard long after dark. I doubt that any fish were caught on those nights.

On such a large site as this perhaps a security petrol would be of benefit for all of us.

The toilet/shower block took quite a hammering and it was unusual to find that two of the light bulbs were not working. These bulbs were not replaced during our stay. Extra toilet paper was found in one of the store rooms. One of the difficulties with so many children on site is the problem they seem to have using the flush handle on the toilets.

Whilst open fires are no longer permitted, bbq's if raised of the ground still are. The EHU are a bit of a nightmare /health hazard as the trailer tent had to trail a long lead down the path to the toilet block. There are EHU pitches along the hedge rows but these are marked with overgrown numbered stones.

DW is available from one standpipe in the main field, and one in the hedge by the left of the toilet block or from the tap in the washing up sink.

The site itself is quite open with little shelter from the prevailing winds although the owners have made some progress in planting new hedge rows.

Overall the owners take great efforts to see all groups and mixes from couples, to those with families, single sex couples and large groups feel welcome. With such an eclectic mix this is not necessarily going to meet with success everytime. Perhaps one idea would be to separate couples and to allocate family groups their own area.

Sadly the best flat, sheltered areas for camping with a tent are restricted for 'the Syndicate'.

 We arrived on the site and were given a pitch number, however when we got to the pitch there was a tent next to it that had spread out leaving very little room for us. I went back and asked if we could change pitch and the lady was helpful and agreed.

The site is uneven and we had to use several blocks to get level. The toilet block - I had read it will be updated this year so wasn't expecting the ritz!

There are currently two rooms each having a toilet and shower in them. One of the rooms was very small and difficult to access, both of the rooms were dirty and smelt of urine - not a pleasant experience.

The site is okay but certainly not worth £17 per night. We could not find the where the waste water etc went and when we went looking for someone to ask there was nobody around.

Overall the site was of poor standard and when the new toilet block is built would be improved as would better marked pitched and levelling of the site.

On a positive note the pub down the road does nice food if a little pricey

Reviewer: Stuartbig 1 review from this member

 Visited over Jubilee weekend along with another family - both in tents. Due to the rain the site was not really busy and got 2 pitches with EHU next to each other.

After braving the torrential rain pitching the tents we had an enjoyable 2 night stay. As relatively novice campers we haven't had too many trips to compare facilities with however the facilities on offer here were more than adequate. As mentioned in other reviews there are plans to upgrade the toilet and shower block.

As local people we didn't venture from the campsite but would highly recommend a trip to Foxton Locks if visiting the area from away.

The owner was really helpful and showed us some local walks on surrounding farm tracks - which the kids loved.

My only criticism of the weekend was that unthoughtful dog owners had not cleaned up after their dogs which meant you had to plot a careful path across the field to the toilet block and constantly watch where your kids played.

 Lovely site, clean and tidy and spacious. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return for more relaxing days. Beautiful views of the lakes and lovely for dog walking. The shop could really do with a bit more stock but the basics are there. Not tried any of the local attractions because to be honest it so nice just to fish and relax on the site. The only bad point is that there could be a few more rubbish bins around the place but I suppose this would encourage flys, so forget that point.
