Unpowered grass tent or campervan site
Liked: Large spacious pitches with mature hedging with cracking views of Rutland Water. Nice and quiet adult only site. Great location easy to get everywhere. Lovely nursery and cafe a short walk up the hill. Always had hot water when showering and washing up.
Disliked: Showers were basic and quite a walk from the pitches. Didn't like separate locks on inside and outside and potential for someone to lock you in. Would have liked a modesty shower curtain as quite big gaps in door. No pegs/shelving in one of the showers so everything got wet. Decking outside was very slippery when wet.
No cover over outside washing up area.
No ability to recycle cans, plastic, paper.

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site
Liked: The owners were lovely and communicated with us well, the view was amazing and there was a good amount of privacy between the pitches! The facilities were decent enough. We’d want to stay again but only in fair weather.
Disliked: Despite claiming to be a quiet / adult only site, there were rowdy campers who were very loud well past the curfew of 10pm. They also brought a baby with them, so these factors did disturb the peaceful scenery somewhat and was disappointing when we had hoped for a quiet site.
The pitches were mowed but the cut grass was just left on the pitches so dead grass was constantly tracked and blown into the tent. Raking it to the side or collecting it would have made a huge difference. I think £40 per night for a non-electric grass pitch is rather steep considering these factors weren’t thought about.
We adored the location and the owners seemed nice but had the weather not been amazing I don’t think it would have been worth the price, which is a shame because it was so promising.
