Hallaton Road, Medbourne, Market Harborough, Leicestershire LE16 8DR 07736 397 620
Rural relaxing is a hidden gem situated in the Welland Valley, the heart of the Leicestershire countryside, benefitting from stunning views and a picture postcard village, often referred to as the "Cotswolds without the crowds". You will experience camping in probably one of Britain’s best kept village secrets, Medbourne is one of the prettiest villages in England, perfect for a rural stay in the rolling countryside and is a place which hasn’t been ruined by modern life. Not much disturbs the peace here apart from the babbling brook or blackbird song.
The site itself is very quaint with some lovely touches. In just under 2 acres, you can see the glamping units & pitches & be safe all in one place.
The on site café is open on Saturday & Sunday mornings throughout the year and offers Lavazza coffee & rustic bacon & sausage ciabatta rolls, pastries, croissants & other delights.
