SOCIAL RESPONSIBILTY 2021 :

​

Our site is large and the number of canopies is small, we purposely position our canopies to provide privacy and (social) distance from the other canopies and customers, you more than likely will not see other customers on site.

Each booking will be allocated a shared shower and toilet unit, this includes a drinking water supplied wash basin.

Each Canopy is provided with its own supply of mains drinking water.

There is a program in place to keep the site operating with the utmost hygiene and care during these times and challenges.

We are proud to have established these operating principles from the onset.

​

We are the closest site to Uppingham and a 15 minute walk via the path at our entrance will deliver you to the centre of this historic town to enjoy the  pubs and food provided by independent outlets, Especially of note is the Rutland Antiques shop in Uppingham.

The numerous local markets readily sell unpackaged and fresh products just like the good old days, a paper bag and  hand made basket is all you need, why not buy a basket off the main street in Uppingham or Oakham......
