Had a fantastic weekend on this site. Very peaceful and secluded when you've got through the industrial estate, you could be a million miles away! Facilities were excellent clean, spacious and luxury for a small CL! Very helpful and friendly owners, who cooked a fantastic Sunday lunch, a great treat to be able to stay for lunch then pack up to go home afterwards and not have to cook when we got back! Used the nearby park and ride into Nottingham and visited DH Laurence's house on Sunday morning - very interesting.We will definitely return.
How fortunate we were to start our new adventure into the Motorhome world by spending our first weekend away at this little site. It was like home from home only better. Yes, you do need to turn a blind eye to the immediate surrounding locality when nearing the campsite. Litter,housing estate,traffic and industrial site all loom before your eyes before actually turning into the tranquil campsite.
Vic and Cheryl were very welcoming and we really appreciated Vic being there to help us learn the ropes. Hooking up, siting and all the other little things that most experienced motorhome owners take for granted have to be learnt by us novices! No question,however daft it might have appeared, was treated with ridicule. We could not have chosen better.
It was a February weekend when we visited and we were the only ones there.Everything was spotless.So clean in fact that we even showered there and never tried out our own bathroom in the van. Although the cafe was not really open through lack of demand I suppose, Cheryl cooked the most amazing Sunday lunch for us. It was enough to feed 30 people never mind two of us.
Although the weather was cold and damp we had a fantastic stay and Dave even caught a reasonable size fish before we left.If every site is half as clean,well run and friendly as this then I think our Motorhome adventures will be long and happy. Well done Vic and Cheryl.
We’ve just spent Christmas at Blenheim Farm (everyone thought we were mad, Christmas in a caravan), but we had a fantastic time. Once we thawed out the pipes we were warm and cosy. Vic, Cheryl family made us very welcome, they are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
The site is spotless and when the leaves are on the trees in summer you won’t even realise you are near an industrial estate. The toilets are so clean I felt guilty going in there with my muddy boots.
The Christmas lunch Cheryl cooked was wonderful, I have never seen so much food. So we had to have the Sunday lunch as well, just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. It wasn’t it was just as good.
Great place to stay to visit the area. A very nice quiet site, and no screaming children to spoil it. We enjoyed it so much we are going back at Easter. My only regret is that as more people find out about this site we will all be fighting for spaces.
Had a bit of a problem finding it as the direction are only from the M1. We came via Grantham A52, and the AA route planner took us into the middle of Nottingham, not fun with a caravan. Even a sat nav takes you into the city centre. Stay on the ring road it’s much easier.
They say good things come in small packages,so very true with this site.We travelled from the Isle of Man to visit family,my husband was born in Nottingham and this site is 5min drive away from my sister-in-law's house.We didn't want to stay with her as we didn't want to leave the motorhome on her housing estate overnight so this site was ideal.
This site is close to the bus stop that took you into the city or Bullwell (that is a 10 min walk away) where you can catch a tram for £2 return.This was ideal for us as I am disabled and can walk short distances but use a fold up scooter for anything more and the tram has a disabled area and has a mark on the platform to wait on and the tram stops at that point. We didn't want to take the motorhome into the city and the park and rides had a height restriction so this was ideal.
There is lots to do and see in the city so this site is ideal for that and as a base for further away attractions. We did travel for a few days at a time and the twice we just turned up without booking Vick squashed us in. All in all a very clean,friendly site, great if you like fishing,and we will be back in 2010.
Just spent 2 nights here and can verify all other good reviews. We stopped for Sunday lunch and its well worth it - £6.00 and you help yourself to veg (which were well cooked). We had to share an 'Eton Mess' for dessert (£2.00) due to over eating the main course.
Not sure I could spend a week here due to its location, but its ideal as a stopover or for a weekend. Cost us just £30.00 for 2 nights (due to having 2 cars) so very reasonable. And those toilet and shower facilities have to be seen to be believed.
There is a pub quite close but no real ale served and the clientelle looked a bit iffy.
Met up with the In Laws for a relaxed 5 days of chilling and fishing. A great lake for all species (weed control an ongoing project). The owners are very friendly and facilities impeccable.
Brilliant breakfasts too, didn't get to try the Sunday lunch this time, but reports were outstanding.
Had a great time, and would love to return some day soon.
What a superb little, adult only, site. As you approach it by the side of the industrial estate, you could be forgiven for wondering what you have let yourself in for, but do not be put off. The site is marvellous, and it becomes instantly apparent that Vic, Shane and Cheryl, the owners, love it too. Everything was spotless, the toilets, shower and washing up facilities were pristine, as were the pitches - not a sign of any rubbish or litter whatsoever. I felt the need to be extra vigilant in my own attempts not to make a mess, as Vic's standards are set so high - quite rightly. He is rightly proud of his achievements, and everything he has done exudes that caring, homely touch. His soon to be enlarged cafe is to die for, the breakfasts were excellent, and the fishing was first class.
Sue and I fished for three and a half days in all weathers a mere twenty yards from our tent,catching carp upto ten pounds, ide, tench, roach and rudd, with no fish less than a pound in weight (even the roach). It's not easy fishing, but very rewarding. A nice touch was the facility to dry our clothes after a particularly wet fishing session, and the provision of unhooking mats. Vic even lent Sue his own fishing umbrella after hers proved to be unsatisfactory.
Although we didn't sample the delights of Nottingham, we nipped out to the local Aldi and chippy ( a bit expensive and they've never heard of meat & potato pies!), a mere five minute drive away. There is also a small enclosed patio on site where you can sit and watch the birds in their aviary or just nip into the cafe for brews. Nothing was too much trouble for Vic and Shane, who were superb hosts. To sum up, the only reason this site doesn't get 11 out of 10 was Vic's inability to control the weather!
I am on site as I type this, I just visited the toilets, currently 22:00, these are better than office toilets I have used in any building except for company head offices. The camp ground has a higher flat section shielded from the wind by hedge rows. Slightly below this is a slope on a slight pitch that I would still happily camp on. Tents over look the pond/lake (would class it as a large pond myself). There are picnic tables within 50m of my tent, and its at the furthest part of the field.
I am currently staying during the week, Monday night to Thursday night, I could imagine it getting a little uncomfortable of a weekend if more than perhaps 6-8 tents were pitched, unless they were smallish. The site is run by some rather friendly folks, the dog was a little too interested in my van, and I had to get out to stop him/her getting in the way of it. If they had the possibility of expanding into the next field, it could really open up this camp site, of a weekend I would think the next field could house about 50+ tents, although this would be at the expense of the current facilities. Perhaps a second tier shower/toilet block for a lower price. I am not sure what the demand would be for this though.
Very impressed none the less, and am thinking of investing in a caravan, if only all sites were as good as this.
Best ever little campsite we have been to. Vic, Cheryl Shane and Patch are extremely friendly and helpful. The toilets are kept very clean and they are the best we have come across, the shower room is also the best, its a proper electric shower that you can control yourself, just like a shower you would have at home. There is a cafe with homemade food, the Sunday lunch was wonderful. There is also an aviary with different birds in. Nottingham is only 5 miles away and is massive. There is a lovely lake to fish in and if you do not fish then just relax by it. They are in the process of extending the cafe and will also be installing tv aerials to every pitch. A lot of thought and effort has gone into making this site one of the very best we have been to.
Spent only 2 nights at this sight when visiting friends in the area. Absolutely fantastic site. Have never seen such fantastic toilets and shower facilities. We were greeted by Vic and Patch the dog, shown to our pitch, which was right by the fishing lake, and shown all the facilities. Vic and his son were the most friendliest of site owners we have ever met. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Our friends came over in the morning and Vic cooked us a lovely breakfast. I would recommend this site to everyone, especially if you like fishing.
