Chigborough Barns - Maldon

Beautiful place, beautiful atmosphere to camp. small lakes are beautiful. we have made our first camping experience and loved it absolutely. the facilities were good. warm showers before location. I recommend this place definitiw. there is even a wood pizza oven to rent.

This is one of the most beautiful campsites I've ever been to. Sam is accommodating as is her family. The facilities are kept clean, everything is reasonably priced. The lake is great and we even got a fishing lesson on site. We have been 6 times last season and couldn't fault any time. Obviously the more people on the site the more mud in the showers, but there is equipment to rinse out after yourself. We have also made use of the wood fire oven for pizza and just generally had a great time here. One thing we got caught out with was how hard the ground was over the summer months compared to May/September, so you will need rock pegs, you can get 20 for about £10. The first night we turned up in the summer, in the dark, our neighbours helped us by lending some as our pegs just bent in the ground, as they where cheap and came with the tent. We were out the next day and now we have 120 of them!

Beautiful setting only 30mins from home. Only came to try out our folding camper for the first time but would definitely come again. The showers were superb heat and pressure, could have done with some toilet roll as there wasn’t any on Sunday morning. Recommend to all

My partner surprised me with a birthday treat at this amazing restaurant. It was a quiet and relaxing experience that we can't wait to repeat. The cleanliness and presentation of the restaurant were top-notch. It has quickly become our new favorite spot.

We visited this restaurant 7 times and it is absolutely beautiful. We had a relaxed and enjoyable experience every time. The facilities are very clean and the owners, Sam, could not be more helpful. It is definitely worth a visit, although it can be difficult to get a table as it is always fully booked. 5 stars.
