Notional tenner a night for camping but landlord indicated that if we eat at the pub then this will be waived! Field is flat and open quiet landscape (so no hedge inspections!). Does seem to have at least some electrical points. Loos at back of pub are accessible at all times. Would be advantageous for loo visits to camp nearer the pub as the field is quite long/deep. No showers though. Food is of a good standard, will post photos later. Pub also does the full english breakfast and Sunday roast. Beer is excellent (tad spendy for the provinces but undertandably so). 2 pint and 4 pint beer containers can be purchased for taking outside. Pub is tiny but has the usual facilities. Is apparently popular with a range of groups so would need to book. A weeks notice being required for a group booking.
Plenty of good weather seating outside at the back of the pub. I did notice a large gas barbeque so guess this is used during the appropriate season. Will post some options for cycle ride locations of distances various, at a later date, given sufficient interest. A must visit however is the tea room in the old post office just down the road at Southill which also involves passing fields of commerically grown flowers/roses. For the model makers out there it would be great if a visit cooincided with a Bedfordshire engineers railway open day and vintage aircraft, for those of that particular disposition, are also to be found a few miles away. Wrest Park stately pile is approx 7 miles away.
I was thinking of next spring?
