Brook Meadow campground in Leicestershire was among our very first outdoor camping journeys post-covid, so we could not wait to head back once again.
We bear in mind the tranquil lakeside area that we pitched our camping tent on, the family-friendly ambience and also (Lily’s favorite) the wood rope swing in the trees.
When we heard they were presenting an Airstream to their glamping alternatives, we understood it was the reason we required to go back to this gorgeous lakeside campground and also we reserved for their extremely initial weekend break.
Since good ideas involve those that wait, we needed to resist seeing till the construct was full and also we had the ability to rebook, however it was certainly worth every min of the delay.
Here’s why …
About Brook Meadow
Brook Meadow is a lakeside campground on the boundary of Leicestershire and alsoNorthamptonshire It’s a functioning ranch, with alternatives for outdoor camping, glamping and also campervans or motorhomes also.
The group there has actually functioned actually difficult to offer it such an amazing ambience, making it loosened up, risk-free and also pleasant for every person seeing.
The centers are of a high criterion, and also you have the selection of lakeside pitches, electrical pitches or areas by the primary centers. Even on an active weekend break, every person was well expanded and also we had lots of room, both when we remained in our camping tent and also when we remained in the airstream.
I’m quite certain Brook Meadow has one of the most wonderful dawns and also sundowns, along with such an unique ambiance that you instantaneously really feel loosened up when you exist. The reality we invested this weekend break in an airstream was simply the crowning achievement
The Airstream
Did I state we remained in an Airstream? Well, we did! We remained in a Silverbird Airstream 1967Caravel It was among my real life objectives, and also not just did Brook Meadow make it occur, however they made it also much better than I desired for also!
We would certainly reserved it 6 months prior to hand, however different points implied we needed to relocate ’til after the summertime– and also it was greater than worth the delay.
The group at Brook Meadow had actually seen to it the entire Airstream experience was one that you will really bear in mind as something unique, from the retro decors and also prime lakeside area, with to the exterior decking location and also unique touches also.
The Airstream and also personal outdoor decking location had every little thing you required for your keep, consisting of an electrical pot and also toaster oven inside, exterior barbeque cooking area with sink, covered exterior location, interior and also exterior seats, and also also your extremely own hammock (Lily’s favorite!).
The bed was incredibly comfortable, with bed linen and also vintage coverings all consisted of– we were incredibly cosy, also on a cool autumnal evening when the temperature levels enormously went down.
Despite getting on my very own with a really restless youngster, I really felt so loosened up all weekend break, and also had numerous possibilities to appreciate a relaxing tea or coffee outside the airstream, seeing Lily play in the trees or on the tree swing with her brand-new buddies– it had actually been a particularly demanding month for us for different factors, and also all the tension instantaneously surprised at Brook Meadow.
To leading everything off, the group had actually amazingly developed a rainbow covering, that radiates a rainbow down the side of theAirstream
Things to do
The campground itself has plenty to do, with a tree swing and also angling by the lake, trees to play among and after that an all-natural backyard up by the primary areas.
We were actually delighted to benefit from the family members moooovie in the cow shed on the Saturday evening, where we took our outdoor camping chairs and also coverings (we brought these with us– they practically reside in our cars and truck anyhow!) and also cuddled up with some snacks in the shed to view Sing 2.
There were hay bundles for those that really did not have seats, however we certainly advise bringing your coverings with you to conclude cozy.
Nearby you have destinations such as Foxton Locks, Mini Meadows Farm and also (Lily’s favorite) West Lodge Farm Park, or you can invest your days loosening up at Brook Meadow itself.
Added additionals
At Brook Meadow, we enormously advise reserving onto the early morning egg gathering with Mary at the ranch. Not just do you reach gather eggs, however she presents you to the pets, informs you extra concerning the ranch, and also she is incredibly charming also!
We were likewise extremely kindly talented a lotion tea hinder– and also, wow, it was sensational! Complete with homebaked buns, homemade very early grey tea loaf, clotted lotion, jam, milk and also tea, we were so ruined and also it was simply wonderfully provided. You can likewise obtain a morning meal hinder, pastry shop basket or unique arrangement also!
They frequently arrange for a food vehicle at weekend breaks, such as pizza or fish & & chips (watch on their social networks for information).
Our Saturday evening was pizza, which looked remarkable, however we obtained their rather late and also there was a 2 hr delay, so we rather took advantage of having a saucy lotion tea from the five-o’clock tea hinder for our supper– Lily certainly had not been let down with having a scone-filled supper, and also we’ll bear in mind following time to arrive early for some tasty pizza!
What to bring
If you’re remaining in the Airstream, all your bed linen and also depleting towels are consisted of. We have an outdoor camping box that we take with us with little outdoor camping lights, however these weren’t required as there were blue nightlights in the Airstream itself.
We did take our very own towels for cleaning our faces and also hands, shower towels along with our very own coverings and also outdoor camping chairs for the night outside along with the cowshed. We likewise have sandal socks/tent sandals that were terrific for inside the Airstream and also constantly take our very own warm cups for maintaining our night cocoa/morning coffee warmer for longer.
Bring your very own food and also beverages, marshmallows for toasting (you can employ a firepit if you like!) and also milk for teas/coffees/breakfast. There is a little store on website for basics if you neglect them also!
Conclusion
Wow, what a weekend break. The airstream keep was not just an imagine mine, however it really blew our minds. The group at Brook Meadow had actually plainly striven to make it amazing, with everything idea of that you can think of.
We enjoyed seeing the gorgeous sundowns reviewing the side of the Airstream, seeing the dawn throughout the lakes and also straying with the trees for early morning and also night strolls. We enjoyed once more taking in the wonderful feelings of Brook Meadow, from the pleasant welcome at function, with to the loosened up ambience by the lakes.
Brook Meadow might simply be 20mins from residence, however we really seemed like we would certainly had a break, and also the Airstream was simply ideal. Lily actually didn’t intend to leave– she enjoys turning on the tree swing, seeing what she can detect in the lake, making brand-new buddies, and also simply being outdoors in nature, checking out the globe around us.
We actually seemed like we would certainly been ruined, and also because our last browse through was throughout Covid limitations, it was remarkable to experience Brook Meadow once again completely, particularly the night home entertainment in the cow shed, while consuming homemade cake!
Lily’s currently obtained her eye on several of the various other glamping alternatives (she practically intends to remain in every one of them!), however I can not reject that I do also!
A substantial thanks to the group at Brook Meadow for such a great keep once more. We can not wait to find back!
