The Skipworth Arms

Positiv Great stay at Skipworth Arms. The location is really convenient and easy to access. I had originally booked a pitch with a hook-up, but my friends had already set up in a non hook-up area. After speaking with the owner, it was no problem at all to move—very accommodating and helpful. The site itself is fantastic, with plenty of space and a lovely setting overlooking the pond. It feels open and relaxed rather than crowded. Fishing was excellent too, which made the stay even better.
Would definitely recommend and happily return

Negativ Overall, a pleasant stay at Skipworth Arms with some positives, but a few areas that could be improved. The washing area for pots was well-maintained and practical, which was appreciated. However, the main letdown was the toilet block, which unfortunately could have been cleaner during our stay. I was also unable to access the showers, so I’m unable to comment on those facilities. With a bit more attention to the cleanliness of the amenities, this would be a much stronger experience.

Positiv Always a lovely time, Shakey always ensures the site is clean and tidy and makes us feel welcome. Our teenage boys love to fish and have a camp fire and to play pool and darts.

Negativ The weather ( 54 Mile winds) obviously not any fault of Skipworth (haha)

Positiv Nice quiet site, not too close to other pitches.

Hard standing pitches has electric payable on a top up card system that was very easy to use and have mains water hookup which was a handy facility.

Pub doesn't do food which is a shame but wasn't a problem having our caravan gor self catering. The site rent and pub prices I thought were great value for money and the staff are really friendly and helpful.

Positiv A nice site next to a lake at the rear of the pub. Facilities are fine although a little dated but are kept very clean. A lovely area for walking as it is close to the Viking way. There is a railway next to the site but the occasional train noise didn't bother us. The pub is a proper old style pub but with sport tv,poll table and a lovely log burner when its cold. No food available other than snacks. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Negativ Nothing really to dislike,its not posh but its nice!
