Branbridges Leisure

Liked What an absolutely beautiful little campsite! Ideally situated right by the river so perfect for bringing our paddle boards and popping out whenever we wanted. The site itself is quiet and pretty, the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. We stayed on a busy booking weekend, a half term stay, but barely noticed other campers at all. Showers are cute and clean. Coop just over the road for anything you have forgotten. Cafe on site had excellent food and more than one vegan option. We will definitely be recommending the site to people we know and returning next year for another visit. You are quickly transported to another place entirely and honestly could be on holiday anywhere at all.

Disliked Tiny thing. The toilet door needs better privacy for night time. Net curtains do not work well at night when there is a light on inside!

From the manager: Thanks so much for wonderful review! Glad you had a great stay and thank you for bringing to my attention about the curtain :)

Liked The safari tent is amazing. Very spacious and well equipped with lots of nice finishing details. Great spot at the side of the river. Surrounded by friendly fisherman with their families. The tent more than Comfortably fits a family of four plus it has a pull out sofa bed, though we didnt need it. Having en suite toilet and shower was a welcome bonus too. Phil and Antonia are great hosts made us feel very welcome with fresh bedding supplied too!
It was our daughters birthday during our stay and so they put party balloons and a gift in the tent ready for our arrival which was very well received.
The site is very well maintained, lovely and clean with easy access to local amenities, on site paddle boarding, fishing and a top notch cafe which does a good breakfast with good veggie options.
The farm animals are a nice touch too!
The quiet times are much needed after a busy day but the site is still peacful enough during the day to sit and read if you wanted too.
The background music to the communal play area is just loud enough to enjoy without being too overwhelming that you can’t relax during the day.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Liked EVERYTHING! This site is absolutely beautiful. You can see throughout the site, from the games field, to the little pictures in the beautiful always clean toilet. That it is made with love and care for their guests! We stayed in the Forrest floor pitch and it was absolutely beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed lunch in the café which was beautifully cooked and made with love just like the site.
We will MOST DEFINITELY be back! Thank you.

Liked This is a gorgeous little campsite, very green, and nicely laid out to create pockets of privacy amongst the trees, and by the water. There are playing areas for the kids and a bar for the adults. There is a really nice cafe onsite, with good food options and a lovely sunny veranda looking over the site The staff were super friendly and helpful. There's also a place onsite to facilitate paddleboarding and kayaking -although we didn't use these. Close to other facilities, like a Co-op across the road, and a nice Indian restaurant nearby.

Disliked This suprising pocket of countryside is located just off an industrial estate and near some busy roads, so although you wouldn't think it when you are in the peaceful greenery of the site, it isn't in a rural location so there is some road noise.
Also you have to pay for the showers, which is a bit of a pain, especially when you have to find the coins to do so!

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are so pleased to hear you thought the campsite was gorgeous and very green 🙂 Apologies you felt this about the showers, it is included on all the pitch information when you book and we always have £1 coins at check in to help with change. We're sorry you felt the location was not rural enough but great to hear you would visit again and recommend to friends.

Liked The vibe. The owners. The calmness. The quiet. The lake. The starry skies. The fire pit. The cafe. The goat!!! But mostly the vibe.

From the manager: Such a fab review - thank you! Glad you enjoyed your trip and your experience whilst staying with us 🙂

Liked Absolutely stunning site - the safari tent is beyond what we hoped for. Aside from the plumbed toilet, shower and kitchenette it also feels beautifully secluded on the lovely site, right by the water, and contains all the basics including snacks and milk. Firepit was set up ready, and gas BBQ on the platform worked well. Safe enough for the 6yos to zoom about doing laps of the site on their bikes, and walks easily accessible out on the river by the end of the site. The lake and occasional jumping wildlife were very much enjoyed by the kids!

Disliked Our real only problem was the double bed mattress is like a rock! Even a mattress topper would help just soften it a little

From the manager: Sounds like you all had a fab time! Thank you so much for your kind review. It was lovely to see the children off on their bikes and the other friends they made on the way. Love how they kept me updated on their adventures through the woods too 🙂 So sorry you felt the mattress was too hard, it's such a personal preference isn't it, hard to know what one to pick.

Liked We had the most incredible stay at Branbridges Leisure! We stayed in the safari tent which had all the essential amenities provided, we even had all our firewood provided which was a lovely touch. It was picturesque and such a great site for our toddlers to play. The communal field has many games provided such as badminton, football with pitches and other garden games. Lots to do and see, including a beautiful river walk. Staff were amazing and super friendly. Highly recommend, will definitely be coming back next year :)

Liked That was my first camping with kids. We came for one night, as I was not sure how kids will like it. But it was very good, kids loved it as there was a small playground with swing. Fire pit with the basket of wood was provided. Small pond make it really nice. We picked pitch in the wood, so tent was in the shade all the time. Good facilities, with running tap water close to tents, toilets nice and clean and two showers. And a small cafe at the entrance to the camping site. We will come back.
