Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: A fully serviced pitch is so much better than having to break out the aquaroll and wastemaster. You're treated to some beautiful sunsets. The facilities block is small but very well equipped with 2 unisex bathrooms containing a shower toilet and basin and a pot washing sink and a washing machine and tumble dryer. It's finished to a high standard in a log cabin style and immaculate. The alpacas are very cute. The 4g signal is good as is the site's own wifi, and you can get a tv signal. East Leake village is easily walkable and has all you might need in the way of shops, restaurants, pubs and takeaways.

Disliked: Not personally keen on the blue slate pathway to the facilities block as it's a bit rough to walk on in sandles. The site is on the final approach to East Midlands airport so you will have planes coming over which didn't bother us. I wore earplugs at night and wasn't disturbed.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: We was greeted by a very friendly lady that informed us where our pitch was and where the facilities were located. It was beautifully and secluded and so nice to be on a small adult site. The two bathrooms were nice and always kept clean plus there was a washer and dryer available with an honesty box. The horses and alpacas were beautiful and very friendly. There is a lovely large area for dogs to run around but the water for them was stagnant. The site did have excellent wifi connectivity.

Disliked: There was only two bathrooms which included showers, it would be better if two more was available as at times there was several people waiting which was not ideal. Whilst someone from the site drove around at times no one came to actually check if everything was ok, this has never happened before when we have stayed in small sites. I was expecting that with the site being an alpaca farm that we could of been introduced to them, to be able to interact with them and possibly walk with them but you could only stand next to their fence. It was very windy when we stayed and with being at the top of the somewhat small hill it was open on one side which would seriously benefit from a wall being built as our caravan rocked lots, at one point we thought we was going to tip over, on one night had a tent been on the pitch next to us it would of blown away as the night before a tents pegs kept coming out of the ground.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Freindly welcome, well organised reception. P&Q In nature. Exceptionally clean and tidy site and facilities. Dogs exercise field is very big, best dog walking facility yet. Yes it was muddy but that's due to the weather we have had. Lovely to let her off the lead and run free safely. Close to multiple pubs.

Disliked: Drive full of potholes. Building work adjoined to site. But didn't bother us as it was a BH. WiFi kept dropping out.

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked: Nice site, quite, excellent pub in village. Really nice toilets. Site owner nice and helpful, wants to keep site nice.

Disliked: Don't think there's enough toilets on site. Uneven ground and sort of slate gravel going to toilets, not suitable for disabled. We was on grass pitches which was water logged, not owners fault. But helped us off, no problem.

Local attractions

Close to base, you can ride the steam-powered Great Central Railway (15 minutes' drive); amble towards East Leake and watch the trains puffing through if you only fancy a glimpse. Other local activities of note include spots such as Rushcliffe Golf Course (five minutes), Lakeside Sporting fishing lakes (15 minutes) and Prestwold (10 minutes), where you can get behind the wheel of a turbo-charged car. Visit more motorsport spots, starting with nearby Donington Park Circuit (20 minutes), or try some old-school four-legged racing at Nottingham's racecourse instead. When the heat of the action's worn off, consider taking a trip to the John Taylor & Co bell foundry, the biggest such site in the world. If campanology doesn't quite chime in with your idea of a dream break, perhaps you'll be taken by alternative heritage sites like Calke Abbey (half an hour) or Belvoir Castle (40 minutes), where the architecture and formal gardens are as good as certain to pass muster with history buffs. Rutland Water (45 minutes) is another promising destination if you're minded to get up to walks, bike rides, birdspotting or watersports in a thoroughly natural setting.
