24th Trip
Ashby Lane Farm, Lutterworth CC CL 22nd – 25th March 2009

Another chance to take the caravan away to a site not far from my mum for a few nights break and so we could see her for Mother's Day, even though it was only 20 miles from home.  We decided to try somewhere different for a change and this was it.  They only installed EHU about a month ago, February this year.

It's a nice enough site in a very quiet location, a 5 van site set on the edge of an 11 acre field!  If you prefer onsite facilities and luxuries, this site is not for you.  Whilst there are now 16 amp EHU points, there are no toilets, no shower block and no waste facilities.  You are expected to take your rubbish home with you or you could take them to the shops or filling station in town and pop your rubbish in the bins there.

A very clean and tidy site with well mown grass, you can pitch anywhere around the fence perimeter where there are three double EHU points, 3 drinking water taps and one for Elsan rinsing.  No hard standings but the ground was dry, firm and level. Just by the cattle grid on the entrance to the farm house is the Elsan, a drainage cover in the ground.  At the time of our visit, part of the site was cordoned off with a temporary electric fence for the lambing season.

At only £8 per night with EHU and friendly and helpful owners, it's certainly one I'd recommend.
