Easily accessible site, quiet and well maintained with small "wild" areas to encourage nature. You need to be self sufficient. There is a central chemical toilet emptying facility and two 'grey waste' points. About half are grass pitches, half now gravel hard standing and a gravel road serves all. For EHU you may need a longer cable than on some sites, as two pitches share one point. Jason and (Dad) Brian, drive in on a daily basis to maintain and check all is well.The Paddock is ideally situated above the Lyndon Nature Reserve known for viewing the osprey. The access road leads on past The Paddock down to visitor center.Unless you are a good walker you will need a car or bicycle to get around. There is a local bus service through nearby Manton, whether or not it picks up from the end of the access road, I don't know. Within easy walking distance is the Rutland Water Garden Centre with a very busy restaurant at peak times.

We had a relaxing stay Owner came to make sure all ok.Very windy but managed to get some fishing in!!!Ate at the Horse and Jockey Manton lovely meal.We have already booked to return to the Paddocks at the end of May. Hopefully the weather will be better.

Very peaceful, lovely grass site with some hard standings. Good electricity supply to each pitch with nearby water point. A number of picturesque villages nearby. Cycling to the little church at Normanton was more hilly than we were expecting. Owner Jason came to see us on our arrival day and was very helpful. Had a delicious Sunday lunch at the Fox.

Very good, well located site.

The site is in a lovely situation overlooking Rutland Water with recent hardstanding laid for pitches. Although advertised as for both caravans and campervans, the site as currently organised is really only suitable for the former. The facilities are good: chemical disposal point and at least two water taps and drains for emptying e.g. aqua rolls but in a camper van, even with a long water hose you would find it difficult to fill your water tank if pitch 12 (nearest to the tap) is occupied. If it is, you would have to drive onto grass (as with the other tap) and run the risk of getting bogged down if ground is sodden. Plus no drains inset in the roadway to empty grey water so a dedicated Campervan Service Point would be a required improvement. A barrier at site entrance would be a good idea too to deter anyone up to no good. I was there on my own and felt vulnerable, particularly at night. (ran out of space here).

Great site away from the hubbub so quiet and peaceful except for tge birdsong and red kites overhead. Nice big pitches and good basic services. Friendly attentive host who answered any queries very quickly. Easy access to Rutland Water footpath us ideal.

Fantastic location a few minutes walk from the Reservoir edge and nature reserve. Providing you have your own toilet and shower it has everything else you need. Facilities are really well maintained. 2 cafes within easy walking distance. So much to see and do in local area. Will definitely be returning.
