 My first impression as I turned into the site was that it was a bit scruffy, this did not improve as I entered the reception until I was engaged in conversation with the charming and entertaining lady behind the counter, she was very pleasant and organised, providing me with all the info I needed.
I was shown to my pitch, and helped to guide in but once through the barrier my heart sank at the state of the internal road, it really needs resurfacing badly.
As others have said, there are a lot of seasonal/static caravans but the ones I met seemed a pleasant and friendly lot.
The waste disposal areas were clean and organised and for one night I wasn't bothered by the lack of toilets and showers.
The only thing that stood out to me was the state of the road, something has to be done to improve that.

Lovely warm welcome on arrival from Sharon, had a small issues with my dog breaking his leads and escaping but Darren Sharon’s husband resolved this too which I appreciated.
Lovely quiet peaceful place to stay and relax and all services are excellent from a well run site.

The site is a great rural location and the wardens are great, very helpful.
The only downside is the lack off showers and toilets.
We were visiting for the Bushcraft show and spent most of our time there.
We did visit the manor farm shop near by which had a nice gift shop and cafe.

I love it here park well run and I’m Darren and Sharon are the main reason for this.
They are very hard working and approachable, the park is a true reflection of them and all the hard work they put in.
Can’t wait to return

We found the site by using UKCampsite. It was ideally located as we were visiting Kilworth House Hotel for a wedding during our stay.
I can honestly say, when we arrived, I have never experienced such a warm friendly welcome from a site manager, ever and I have been on lots of sites, It felt like we had known each other for years. She made us feel very welcome and explained which pitches were available for us to choose, we chose a hardstanding, pitch 47.
Reception houses a small shop with all of the essentials you could wish for, including home grown veg, eggs etc etc. The site itself is quiet and very pretty, a mixture of hard standing and grass pitches all with 16amp hookups.
The site has a number of seasonals including some 5th wheeler units. Pitch sizes are great so you never feel penned in or overlooked. There are two utility areas, bins, elsan and waste water emptying and fresh water taps.
Just at the back of the site is a great dog walking area which you can see Stanford Hall from also, there is a woodland walk too. On the Saturday the manager Sharon and her hubby put on an 80’s theme night, with music, fancy dress and food and drink and a great night was had by all.
As we had stayed more than two nights we got a free pass for a tour of Stanford Hall, we used this and had a great couple of hours viewing the hall and grounds. The tour guide lady needs to be commended too for her vast and detailed knowledge of the history of the house and family history.
Now the slight negatives, firstly there is a very minor constant hum from the nearby motorways, this though does not affect sleep or your enjoyment of this site as its distant.
The grass had been cut but they really need a mower that picks up the grass to stop it being paddled into your unit. The hardstanding pitch I was on was huge, but had weeds and large stones on it, these need a little maintenance.
The loop road around the park is badly in need of maintenance especially on the last corner before the exit, this is badly potholed, you can avoid this section by driving down the middle of the park field to the exit. The utility area fences could do with being painted.
I think it’s about time the current owner realised the full potential of this site and make some investment in it, you cannot stand still in this game. Yes there are no showers and toilets but at £17 a night we knew this before we arrived and it didn’t bother us at all. That said, if the owners invested in a small utility block, this would likely increase the business footfall.
Would I stay again, YES, in a heartbeat, we had a great few days there, nice and relaxed, everyone says hello and everyone there is very friendly. The site has huge potential.
The star of the show though is undoubtedly Sharon, an asset to the park, it was her day off when we left so didn’t get to thank her for making us so welcome. Look forward to visiting again.

Never been on a site so badly kept as this one. Pitches not properly marked and certainly not kept nice, unmown grass, thistles everywhere and weeds, pot holes in the road, some quite deep,
Waste water for driving over with a motorhome unsafe ( didn't even bother to empty ours, )
Mostly residential site which some units were disgusting, scrap metal, junk, filthy caravans with just as bad awnings. WILL NOT be going back. If we could give a score of zero we would.
Over priced @ £20 pn, with no toilets or showers.

This site, once run by the Caravan Club, is well located near Stanford House, a lovely Georgian House.
The site is managed by a very helpful couple and they go a long way to make this site a relaxing place to stay. Whilst the changes to J20 on the M1 have reduced the number of visitors for some reason it is extremely popular with many seasonal pitches and returning clients.
The site shop is very well stocked and reasonable price with fresh milk and eggs locally sourced.
There are no showers or toilets on site.
The site does shows signs of under investment by the Stanford Estate and lacks some tlc. Whilst the early Spring weather has not been favourable the electric hook up points were very dirty and the general appearance, with regards roads and gardens, could be improved.

First, the good news. The welcome at reception was very friendly and the lady was very helpful. The location in the grounds of Stanford Hall is very pleasant and the dog walks are superb (albeit very muddy during our visit).
The majority of the hard standings have their own dedicated water supply and and the Elsan emptying facilities are very good.
But, and it's a very big but, the site was a quagmire during our visit. Yes the weather was awful and one would perhaps expect the grass areas to be a bit boggy.
The roads also had enormous potholes. Grass and weeds were growing onto the hard standings and the whole site smacked of a lack of maintenance. At £17 a night including electricity this is not a cheap site given that their are no toilets or showers so I would expect better.
The local pub, the Chequers, was okay, but spoilt by children running about. The pub is dog friendly.

We've just returned from a lovely weekend at Stanford Hall. This was our first visit and it certainly won't be the last.
The site is very easy to access and the warden who was there to greet us was extremely pleasant and very helpful. We all loved Diesel the dog, who was always there to be fussed in the Reception!
The pitches are well laid out and spacious, surrounded by mature oak trees, giving it a lovely woodland feel. There are no showers or toilets, but the water points and waste disposal sites are ample and well kept.
There is no children's play area and no ball games are allowed, as there are some very fancy RV's sited here, but our children were happy to ride their bikes and climb trees.
There are lovely woodland walks nearby and a pathway leads through to Stanford Hall and the River Avon. A short 20-30 minute walk along the lane brings you to the local pub The Chequers, which is a lovely country pub, with an excellent children's play area and plenty of outdoor seating.
