Date of Visit: July 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Fredadams 10 reviews from this member

 There are two sections to this site, the one is small with caravans and hook ups. These campers are given keys to the toilets and showers.

We were in the other field and I was informed all the keys had been handed out so couldn't use a shower. When I tried to gain access to these toilets/showers, I was told rather sharply by a lady in one of the caravans that they were not for public use.

We were in a large field which was very nice and peaceful but had what resembled a shed with one toilet for male and one for female and a wash basin with no shower, although there is one there, it isn’t usable. It advertises on here there are showers, so would have liked to be able to use a shower during my stay so surely the other toilets/showers should be made available to anyone who is staying within the site.If it would have cost a little more, I would have paid to have use of a shower, luckily I was only there one night.

Good walking/cycling track off the field. Within 2 and a half miles you can walk to Arthingworth where there is nice pub called the Bulls Head. Reserved a table in the restaurant and had a lovely meal here.

It is a nice traffic free walk along the disused railway line, but there is a long dark tunnel so take a torch as it was full of potholes and wet inside. After the track you go through the fields to the village, so nice pleasant walk.

Can also walk to Market Harborough, but didn’t try this. Wouldn’t want to stay here if it was full, as you would have to queue to use the toilet. One of the most basic sites I have stayed at.

Reviewer: RIMMER 207 reviews from this member

 As others have commented a small site and only just got a pitch mid-week in June. A very peaceful site with singing Skylarks and Yellowhammers.

Didn't find the toilets basic but of a high standard in log cabin effect and consisted of a shower. The key for the toilets are now £10 and that's because the owners caught a stranger washing his dog in the shower!

Cycle track to rear of site that carries on for miles in each direction.

We walked to the George, Gt Oxendon(15 mins)along the cycle track, which is mainly a foody pub but there is a nice garden to enjoy a pint of their real ales.

The X7 bus can be caught from this village to either Market Harborough or Northampton. Paid £16/night for two with ehu. 


Date of Visit: May 2011 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Nev75 15 reviews from this member

 Small site with about 10 pitches mostly with electric and hard standings. There is also a grassed camping area.

Just one toilet for each sex and one shower which are very clean. There is a good motorhome point which includes chemical disposal and grey water.

No separate bins for recycling. Very friendly with excellent cafe and meals and drinks at good prices - daytime only.

Excellent fishing lake with barble, carp and tench. Very convenient for walks which start right from the site.

Probably not so good for children though they would love the fishing. Would recommend.

Reviewer: Styfan 3 reviews from this member

 We were lucky enough to be allocated the only pitch on their rally field that had an electric hook-up. It was a well kept field in a lovely position overlooking one of the fishing lakes. The toilets were basic with no shower which wasn't a problem for us because we had both on board anyway. Breakfast in the tearoom is highly recommended and great value, they also do lunches and have a licensed bar! The owner and staff were very helpful, friendly and considerate. We will definitely be returning to Waterloo Farm in the near future.

 If you are after a 'Adult Only Campsite' perhaps you are best not to come here. Although the site is registered on the listing for 'Adult Only' Sites and we were assured when we booked that it was 'Adult Only' it seemed that it is at the discretion of the owners whether they allow children to stay on the site.

Facilities are very clean and well thought out and there is a pleasant tea room available on the site (although we did not use it), it seemed to be very busy.

There is a disused railway at the rear of the site which is perfect for dog walking.

We did not find the owners to be the friendliest we had ever met but all in all a pleasant site.

We also found the idea of paying a deposit of £20 for the toilet and shower keys to be a bit distrusting.

Date of Visit: July 2010 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Carene 4 reviews from this member

 We booked at the last minute and were allocated the last remaining pitch on the main, small camping area. The electric hook-up was too far away for our lead, but luckily we had an extension lead with us. We were not told about the £20 deposit for toilet keys before our visit, but were trusted to pay at the shop the next day. This all seemed a bit haphazard to me.

The toilet was spacious, and very clean. We were looking forward to our cream tea in the shop, but sadly they had run out of scones. :-(. We were given toasted tea cakes instead.

All in all a very pleasant little site for a short break.

Reviewer: Jaunty 8 reviews from this member

 Camping & Caravan Club Listed site (5 pitches - all fully serviced). Small wooden chalet with 1 male and 1 female toilet, 1 shower and 1 laundry room. On site tearoom, lovely breakfast, friendly staff.

Also log cabins available for hire overlooking fishing pools, which seems to be the main interest of the site.

Site backs on to cycle / walking track from Market Harborough to Northampton, ideal for hikers / cyclists. 15-20 mins from site to Market Harborough for shops, restaurants, etc. Great Oxendon village 10 mins from site but only a pub no shops.

Pleasant, quiet site overlooking farmlands, can be breezy.

Reviewer: TrevEllie 3 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for 4 nights and where fortunate to have beautiful weather. Our pitch was situated on the rear field next to the middle fishing lake, the pitch had a slight incline but nothing severe enough to bother about.

The field was beautifully maintained and the groundsman who lived on the same field was a very pleasant chap and very helpful. The fishing for me was rubbish but perhaps that's more me than the lake as others seemed to have no problem and said that it usually fished very well.

The toilets where basic but clean and adequate unfortunately although according to the Ukcampsite legends there are showers and electric hook ups, but in our field there was only one hook up (although the owner said he planned to put more in soon) and we where also told that the showers where only for Camping and Caravaning members only.

There is a lovely tearoom there that serves food most of the day, we didn't eat there but the food looked great. So to sum up if you want a pleasant quiet basic holiday in relaxing surroundings then this is a must, we will definitely be going back.

Reviewer: Emma in Surrey 6 reviews from this member

 Stayed just one night as I was working in MH the following day. Really friendly and helpful welcome. It has slightly strange positioning of tent pitches, sort of on a verge, but the grass was nice and short and it was level, with plenty of space, so I have no complaints at all.

The loo and shower were both spacious and absolutely spotless. There is wireless internet, which works properly, and the breakfasts in the cafe are wonderful!

It's a quiet, peaceful site down a track quite some way from the main road and it sits alongside a disused railway which has been turned into a walking and cycle path, which was very pleasant to stroll along. I will certainly stay here again next time I'm in MH.

 Visited this site for one night this week and wished we could have stayed longer it was so good! It's in a superb position with views across farmland. Each pitch has a shingle covered hardstand with electric, water and Chemical disposal all nearby.

The hosts are very welcoming and Breakfast in the conservatory is to be recommended.

The facilities are located in a log cabin and are like new. The only minor gripe is that the sink plug in the Gents wash basin didn't have a chain on it, the water was so hot it almost scolded my hands retrieving it. There was also a lack of hand towels in the toilets.

Locally, we found Market Harborough a great place for shopping with cheap car parking and no height restriction barrier. Nearby Foxton Locks is also well worth a visit.

We'll certainly go back when we're next in the area - very nearly perfect almost a 10 out of 10!
