Positiv Pub food was much better than we expected!!! Walks along the river were easily accessible.

Negativ No hot water in the toilets so could only wash with freezing cold water. Lights went off quickly in showers so you end up stood freezing in the dark. No heating at all in shower block or toilets. Pub run down but serves surprisingly good food.

Positiv Lovely space to camp and a great pub with an excellent selection of beers. Very friendly people and a good atmosphere. Camping was on grass which was fine and flat for us. Excellent for a one night stop in our campervan.

Negativ No food on except on weekends. We assumed a pub would have food so didn't pack any. Our fault for not checking, but loose a star as a pub really should have a basic menu. How hard are toasties? Also the amenities are basic so another for that but they know and they are improving. Despite these few issues we would definitely recommend a stay just bring your own grub.

Positiv We recently stayed over the Easter weekend and had a bit of a rollercoaster experience. Here is the breakdown of the highs and lows of our visit:
The Good Stuff
• The Pitch & People: The pitch itself was great—well-maintained and a nice spot to set up. The owners are lovely people, very welcoming and friendly.
• Entertainment: They had a lot going on over the Easter break! While we couldn’t actually get into the event because the pub was packed to the rafters, it was nice to see a lively atmosphere.
• Late Night Snacks: One evening, they offered pies and sausage rolls from a heated display. We tried both and they were delicious. The sausage rolls were a little on the pricey side, but the quality was definitely there.

Negativ The Not-So-Good Stuff
• Facilities Issues: This was the biggest letdown. The women’s showers were inconsistent—swinging between freezing cold and scalding hot. To make matters worse, the bathrooms aren't heated, which made for a very chilly experience.
• Toilet Paper Shortage: The toilets ran out of paper entirely. Even after we informed the pub staff, it took a couple of hours to be refilled. We eventually gave up and went out to buy our own.
• Food Availability: We messaged beforehand and told that due to the high volume of campers, the kitchen would only be serving "light bites" and fish and chips on Friday. However, once we were there, it didn't seem that busy with campers (the pub was mostly locals). We later saw a post that they were actually looking for a chef, which likely explained the limited menu.

Positiv Amazing site. Owners really lovely, showed us our pitch and let us get on with our holiday. It was nice having a pub on site, great entertainment. Close to the river so can go on walks with your dog. Toilets and showers are ok also. I would deffo recommend staying

Negativ There wasn’t much to dislike. Only problem was we had storm Dave but was all the fun of it

Positiv Friendly welcome and great pitch. Plenty of space. The pub is onsite which is great. They do great food and have bands on at weekends! We did a lovely walk in the area along the river Trent. We will definitely be back to camp and see more bands at the pub.

Negativ Showers were limited but they are in the process of building a new shower block 👍🏼

Positiv Nice welcome from the owner and good food in the pub.

Negativ We booked for 4 nights and only stayed 1. We were basically in the pub car park, the ground was so uneven with big chunks everywhere, not good for pitching a tent. The pub had a disco until late and when it finished it was like the cruise pulled up to pick everyone up with music blaring, wheel spinning and shouting. We thought the cars were coming straight through our tent. Finally managed to get to sleep around 12:30 after the cruise dispersed and then kids started running around the site, screaming on top of their lungs. The toilet facilities weren’t the best but it was better than a bucket and they did explain it was being refurnished. When the owner saw we were packing up she came and asked if we were leaving and we explained the night was awful and the morning wasn’t any better, she just said ok and walked away. This site needs to choose between being a busy pub or a camsite as it didn’t work as both, the pitches were not in the best spot for that.
