We visited greendale as it was advertised as a tranquil site. It is very well kept & the facilities are spotlessly clean.
Personally, we found the pitches rather close together, and the site rather regimented, with do's & don't's notices in the public areas. In our opinion, it is rather overrated & over priced, compared to some equally peaceful sites we have visited over the years.
We were a little disappointed with the pool, as it looks much bigger on the photographs, and as an adult only site, wondered why supervision is required when using it? But maybe that's a health & safety issue. Also even though only £1 a day charge, is that really necessary when paying quite a lot for a pitch?
All in all, it is a nice site, but we have stayed at more tranquil places, so wouldn't return.
We were looking for a chilled out trip away, we were over the moon with our choice of location. We were met by Ian and shown to our pitch, Sue later visited us and passed on her wealth of local knowledge. The site was immaculate, beautifully landscaped and wonderfully quiet. The small on site shop with an honesty box was a lovely reminder of the days gone by when trust and respect were a normal part of life. The closeness to Melton Mobray and Oakham make this site a wonderful base camp to explore the area. The two pubs in Whissendine are both dog friendly and there is a well stocked village shop where you can order your newspapers. We wanted a chilled out break and we got it. Will definitely return.
Everything that has been said about this site is true with bells on! I woke up at 9:40 am on Saturday morning as there was not a sound from fellow campers only birds & sheep!The facilities are immaculate with some lovely homely touches such as sun block, creams etc in the ladies. The shop though small has everything in it & it's run on an honesty box system. Free range eggs available as well as a fridge just for tent campers. Sue is so friendly, kind & helpful which I think is the reason why all the campers whether tent, caravan, trailer tent or camper van are friendly to each other. Putting up our tent on Friday in the sun was a hot experience but the motorhome couple next to us came across with 2 cold beers as soon as it was up! The pub in Whissendine does lovely food & real ale just up the road. If you want a lovely area to visit, total peace, a friendly atmosphere & amazing wardens & owners all packed in an immaculate small site then this is the place for you.
We've just come back from a long weekend at this site. It is very clean and beautifully manicured with a peaceful rural feel. We didn't meet the owners as they were away but were greeted upon arrival by a lady who stood making sure we pitched the caravan correctly despite the torrential rain.
A word of caution to dog owners - this site is dog tolerant, not dog friendly. We were repeatedly advised to ensure we picked up our dogs mess (which we've always done, for all the dogs we've owned) and told the dog was not allowed to urinate on the grass at the site. When I enquired about the location of the dog waste bin I was told it was half a mile away at the village and also told to ensure I picked up the dog mess if in the village as villagers had been complaining about visitors from the camp site not cleaning up after their dogs! Fellow campers with dogs advised they had been told the same.
There are recycling bins on the site for paper, cardboard, food (not cooked) glass, cans, plastics and general land fill waste.
There is an honesty shop on the site selling numerous local goods such as flour, jams and fresh eggs. The ladies and gents have 1 shower each which we never had a problem using and are very clean, as are the toilets.
We were told to use pipes from our caravan to empty our waste dish water into the hedge as there is nowhere to empty your grey water. For chemical waste there is one open drain with a lid next to the entrance gate that you have to swill out with water from a watering can.
There are 'do not' signs everywhere; do not use talc, do not take shoes into the shower, do not flush anything other than what you've produced down the loo with the exception of loo roll. Clean your hair from the drain etc. We were instructed to ensure the car was moving when the steering wheel was turned on the grass.
We visited the local pub in Whissendine (the White Lion) and as other reviewers have noted, the food and company was lovely, the White Lion also allow dogs in the bar where you can order food and sample local ales. Rutland water is a short drive from the site and is a lovely place to visit.
Due to feeling that dogs aren't particularly welcomed, they're tolerated - we won't be staying here again.
Just had three wonderful days at this gem of a site. Well looked after and cared for, with great attention to detail. Facilities are very clean, and the views across the fields are excellent. The site has won several conservation awards and the owner puts a lot of time and effort into encouraging wild flowers to grow, and birds to visit, the multitude of feeders and boxes around the site.
Plenty to do in the area, and the village pub was well recommended, although we struggled to find time to visit it.
Fantastic site, my daughter and I were made very welcome. Facilities are to a very high standard, honesty box for purchases from the shop, beautiful washing areas. Each pitch has electric hook-up, although we were not set up for its use. A very quiet site, it was very cold so everyone was snug inside their caravans, but the layout is excellent for sitting outside and passing time. We walked into Whissendine late afternoon and spent a very pleasant couple of hours in The White Lion.
We were only there the one night as we were trying 'Gertie' out for the first time, but it would have been nice to have spent longer. Views are great, countryside all round.
We have just returned from three nights here and would say that it is the best kept site that we have ever stayed at. The owner Sue clearly takes a pride in the place and is also very helpful.
It is a small adult only park and a member of the 'tranquil parks' group, this meant that it was very quiet. We found the other campers very friendly.
We enjoyed our bank holiday weekend exploring Rutland and would certainly return here again.
Big thanks to the owners for such a fabulous site, very green and very well organised. On arrival we were met by the owner, who showed us to our pitch, and gave us a black file with the most information we have ever seen. The on site shop, which sells milk, tinned good, chocolate, jams, also doubles up as a library and information store, were maps, walks, pubs, cafes, menues, you name it they have it, for you to borrow or read, while you can make yourself a cuppa. The facilities are great for a 12 van site. All pitches are hard standing, with beautiful cut grass and flower beds. Bird boxes and feeders are everywhere, lovely sitting outside the van watching the many different birds feed just in front of you. Two pubs within walking distance about. 80 of a mile away down a lane, torch needed for the journey back, few pot holes to look out for. We stayed here for 6 nights and could have easily stayed for much longer, so much to see and do in the area. Would recommend this site as a must, when visiting Rutland.
A small adults only, no smoking site. Greendale is situated along a small lane and the directions given on their website must be followed by anything bigger than a car or campervan. A very well kept site with an abundance of bird feeders. The small shop is run on an 'honesty box' system. The village of Whissendine is a short walk away and has a good pub and a well stocked village store. Melton Mobray, Oakham and Stamford are only short drives away and well worth a visit as is, of course, Rutland Water. In summary, a peaceful, beautiful site in a much over looked area
As everyone has said this is an immaculate site. The toilet block is pristine with a proper shower in a very spacious cubicle.
The little shop has a good variety of things you may need, and open all the time thanks to the honesty box. There is a fantastic shop in the village selling local produce as well as other supermarket items, and reasonably priced.
We also visited the local farm shop which sells the best steak ever!
The site was fully occupied but very peaceful and quiet.
There are a couple of picnic benches and I was amazed to see these being cleaned every evening, as were all the water pipes!
I cannot fault this site and you will be welcomed like a family member.
This very small site redefines the word immaculate. We have never seen anything like it. The owners maintain and preen every inch and make the site more like a garden than a camping and caravan facility. I saw the owner cleaning and disinfecting the door handles of the shower and toilet block and this level of care extends to the whole site. It is top price, but very tranquil, safe and private, only about a dozen units are catered for, maybe not that many. Nice on site shop, small swimming pool and a very picturesque village at the end of the road. Rutland Water is about five minutes drive, as is Oakham, both of which are the best of middle England and totally worth a few days of holiday time. Highly recommended. This site is like having a private second home.
If only all campsites were like this one, professional, helpful and friendly owners. A well kept site, wonderfully clean showers and toilets with a hairdryer in the ladies loo. Lots of info where to eat and ideas of where to go. A fridge for visitors in tents was a great help, plus the kettle and tea making facilities in the shop/tourist info room. There was also a washer/dryer available. We had a problem where the rain had seeped threw the bottom of our tent and Sue took the wet items away and had them dry and returned in the afternoon. We will be back very shortly.
We have just returned from 4 nights at Greendale and agree with all the previous comments. The site is wonderful - so quiet and in wonderful countryside surroundings. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is definitely the place (although there are lots of lambs and sheep in neighbouring fields at this time of year!). The small shop is well stocked with essentials - better than others we have visited - and also local produce.
The owners take great pride in the service they provide - they laid on celebratory drinks for everyone on the site for a 57th wedding anniversary.
The only thing that could possibly be improved is another toilet cubicle for men, but otherwise the facilities are excellent and before we left we booked another stay.
We had never visited this campsite before and we are sorry we did not know about it before. We have been touring the UK and Europe for over 30 years and this is the best site we have ever been to. The location is beautiful and the welcome outstanding.
The bird life is incredible and it is so peaceful. It is a small site, non smoking and adult only. There is a small swimming/plunge pool and each pitch is lovely. There are limited but immaculately clean facilities (shower, toilets and sinks). There is a shop and incredible tourist information. There are books, maps and guides available, even BBQs, bikes and binoculars as well. The village of Whissendine is about a miles walk and well worth it. There are two pubs and a very welcoming Mace shop which sells an amazing range of locally sourced food.
If you love bird life, want a peaceful break and want to meet the friendliest most helpful owners you are likely to encounter this is the site for you. Oakham, Stamford and Melton Mowbray are nearby, as well as Rutland Water and many other attractions.
Having bought our first touring caravan 1 hour earlier, We chose Greendale for our very first experience based on quality and proximity to my daughter and granddaughter. We certainly chose right! Our hosts were terrific and they even helped Lorraine to find an NHS dentist in nearby Oakham to treat and remove some of her wisdom! The site ambience was faultless and the facilities top class. Our Labrador Darcy and 20 year old siamese cat Cindy settled in splendidly to their new surroundings and our fortnight's stay was a great induction to new adventures ahead. There's a very good pub in Whissendine offering home made pub grub fayre and, real ale and fine wine all at reasonable prices. Our thanks also to fellow 'vanners' John & Janet, Des & Diane, Richard & Allison and Paul and his wife for lending helping hands and hospitality during our stay. We will definitely return during our UK visits.
