 Just got back from a lovely Easter break here. The grass had been cut, lots of electric hook ups on the grass and the hard standing. Normal facilities (drinking water, chemical waste, toilets). Outside toilets aren't up to much but you can always use the ones inside the pub. Jakki & keith are lovely, so are the locals at the pub, they made us feel really welcome. At the moment no food available during the week, but 'oh my god' what I hidden gem, the Sunday Carvery is absolutely fabulous. Its set out inside the magnificent converted coach house and hay loft. You would never guess from the outside what was lurking inside. The food was superb, I would go so far as to say the best Sunday Carvery I have had for a long time. A 10 minute walk through the wood brings you to the White Hart and about 300 yards further the fabulous Church End Brewey. We are booking again in may.

Arrived around 2pm, the public house was shut up tried knocking on the door and windows no reply so telephoned the pub the landlord answered and directed us to the field at the side of the pub. We were instructed to pitch on any of the pitches (the field was empty so picked our pitch) We were told to pitch the caravan to the centre of the electric hook up which we thought was the A frame centre to the electric point, we hooked up put the water barrel on and erected our awning
Just as the last peg went in the landlord came out and said 'you cant leave your caravan there you need to move it as the electric hook up point needs to be level with the centre of your caravan' ie: half way down the length of your outfit! As by now we were cold and wet due to hail and rain and were not amused.
The facilities were very poor, outside toilets in poor repair, and not very clean. The public house only open in the evenings. We would not stay again.

Where does one start. The pub is lovely when open. The waitress was great, steak was melt in the mouth lovely and the soup was incredible, we also had a carvery that was pretty good, picky me doesn't like hard brussels and the turkey wasn't as good as the beef however this is supposed to be about the campsite. Basic doesn't actually cover it, the grass is uncut and there are an awful lot of potholes (even more after I got off, the ground had no chance of drying as the grass was so long) Yes ok you get a 16v electric, which is switched off at exactly 11:30 on day of departure, but for £15 a night I would love a ladies loo that doesn't back up and over flow with just 5 women on site, lights for said loo that either come on at night or stay on. Mid use I had to open the door and wave my hand frantically at the sensor over the sink so the light in the loo came back on. And you try finding the lock and latch in the pitch black. Showers would be nice but hot water would also be a nice touch and would do! small village is about 10 mins down the road and they have a reasonable chippy. In a nut shell we wont be returning unless they make a load of improvements. My personal opinion is that the owners are running it at a loss, Easter weekend and all on site was our small group of friends and the rest of the site was empty. I feel that if we hadn't been there they wouldn't have anyone on site and by the looks of disdain from the landlady she would have been all the happier.

Stayed here for 3 nights - wish we had chosen a different site. Althought the pub was good (when it was open) and the meals in the pub were good - the site needs money spending.
There is one loo for the ladies - to be shared with spiders etc and one for the gents - the light did not work in the gents. There are no showers and the loos looked like they may have been swept out once a week (perhaps)
Ok site for an emergency stop over - the area is good though.

Just returned from two nights at the Horse & Jockey and am feeling a little bit cheesed off.
I should of reaslied when I got charged and extra £1. 50 for an awning how the weekend was going to go.
Echoing a lot of previous comments regarding long grass, lack of facilities and poor outside toilets I really should learn to read these reviews before I book onto a site
Also were were victims of the power being switched off even after allegedly making 'Prior Arrangements' to stay for the day on Sunday as we only live 5 minutes away and were using this outing to test our new caravan, oh well, home by lunchtime it is then!
Needless to say we will not be revisiting this site - Avoid

Very close to the road so not good if you want peace and quite, the grass could have done with a cut the toilets were from the dark ages. We were told where to park are van even though there was no other Caravans on the site. Value for money absolutely not very over priced (£15). We realised why they wanted us to park where we did so we could be seen from the road. Should of given us the choice not to be an advert for there camp site.

We paid £53 for a caravan and tent for 2 night stay. The facilities, or should that be out- house, is not very pleasant with the sluice being the cleanest toilet with regular dosing of blue. The ladies and gents toilets had no toilet roll or paper towels. There are no shower facilities or utility area for our tenting friends to wash their pots.
Beer garden and pub nice serving good beer. Better camp sites available nearby. Not far from Atherstone town.
Overall will not be visiting again.

Great place to stay if you want to get away from it all. Really tranquil as the pitches look out over fields & not much else around. (Main road to the other side, but this did not cause a noise problem). The pub was a nice friendly local and has a nice beer garden. We didn't eat here although the menu looked appetising. Across the road, through the woods (20-25mins walk), you come to The White Hart pub, which has a large garden with trampoline for the kids. Another friendly local and the food was good quality & reasonably priced. There is also a general store further down the road from here.
We didn't have kids with us & there is not to keep them occupied here unless they just love the outdoors. If you don't mind driving there are plenty of things nearby for them.
I would say this is more a campsite for those who don't mind 'roughing' it for a couple of days. As stated, there are no facilities apart from the outside toilets, which could do with a bit of a re-vamp & a good clean (the building itself, not so much the actual toilet and not for those who don't like creepy-crawlies!). There are lights in the toilet area at night but if you are short like me, you have to wave your arms above your head to trigger the sensors! Couldn't get any hot water, but didn't find this an issue. The grass was a little long if you were in a tent. The hardstanding area just looked like it was an extension of the car park so I wouldn't choose to stay in that bit.
All-in-all, it is what is, and we had a thoroughly relaxing time & will be visiting again

Very disappointed booked a motor home and caravan and was told the price was £15 and that we could be together, but on booking in, the motor home was put on the hard standing and charged more.
The grass on the site was so long we struggled to get the caravan on site. the toilets were dirty and the ladies had no lights on at night.
We were told we had to be off site at 11 but as we arrived so late on the Friday, and we were the only units on site, we hoped they would be a bit flexible, but at 11.30 they switched off the power and at 2 o'clock they came and ordered us off site immediately.
The site was extremely poor value for money and we wouldn't go again

An excellent, basic site in a great location. The camping field is on a slight slope but nothing major. The pub is very nice, as are the owners and staff. A good selection of beers is available and the meals are excellent, although if I remember correctly they don't serve food on a Sunday evening. Facilities are basic, no showers, but toilets are open 24/7.
There is a micro brewery in the local village which is a very pleasant 20 minute walk through Bentley Park wood, which is just across the road from this site. Google Church End Brewery, they have a nice selection of real ales available to tempt the tastebuds.
I can recommend the Battlefield Line Steam Railway for a day out if you fancy a trip back in time. Jump on and off at each stop as you wish. There is a miniature steam railway at one of the stops, can't remember which. You can also include a visit to the location of the Battle of Bosworth Field, which includes various walks, guided trails and a visitor's centre.
