The Brownlow Arms

Μου άρεσε The area, very pretty. Easily accessible with a tourer. The Pub was lovely and ghe hosts very friendly.

Oh and I loved the resident ducks - I have a thing for Ducks and they made my day.

Δεν μου άρεσε Not a dislike really but was looking forward to a pub meal, but they only serve food Thurs - Sun and I can understand that its because of the foot fall so no criticism.

Wifi service ok in the bar non existent on the campsite.

Μου άρεσε Well kept grounds and pitches

Δεν μου άρεσε As the potential to be a lovely site, not there yet, not enough toilets or showers, for size of site, they said female toilet had been refurbished. Bar staff didn’t listen, people seen vaping in the bar area (inside) nothing said overall disappointed

Μου άρεσε Beautiful place and the owner is really amazing. I left an hour early expecting heavy traffic due to the bank holiday. However roads were clear and i arrived early. She got me and my kids booked in and we set up.
Its a very wonderful family area and everyone just got along inviting kids to play together and have some random fun with slip and slide with spare air beds. It was amazing.

The pub is having renovations but i cant wait to return to see how that finish turns out. They do amazing 🍺 pints which is just what you need on a hot day.
Its quite and clean with a small play area right in sight to let kids roam and have some responsibility learning.
But under supervision from a distance.

Toilets are really clean and stocked.

No WI-FI which is amazing when you need to get the family away from technology and shut down fully. I would recommend the owners not change that, its what everyone needs!
Its close to Sherwood forest 32 min drive (if you are geo-chasing definitely hit Sherwood you won’t be disappointed! 12 mins from the closest fish and chips in Tuxford if needed.
The pub wasn’t doing food on the nights i stayed (i was hoping they did as the food reviews were wonderful) this i think is due to the renovation they are having but who doesn’t love having your own camp site cook-out!

Plenty of electricity hookups if you have booked Nd really great distance i have my 10m and it was more than enough.

So i would suggest checking whenever you stay what nights food is on.

Δεν μου άρεσε Only thing i disliked is the showers. Took ages to get myself and the kids showered because of the set up 10 seconds ice cold 15 seconds scolding (which for children is a very big danger, i would recommend the owners get this sorted over time to prevent accidents) 10 seconds of right temp.
So when using the shower be very careful and be very wary you can get scolded. Listen to the pump when it turns on step back and wait if you have kids or yourself.

It was absolutely amazing and I would absolutely recommend the site to friends and family 100% just the shower issue is a tiny small problem. But don’t let this put you off at all, you won’t be disappointed.

Μου άρεσε All the facilities needed for camping. Great to have the pub on site! Didn’t eat there as currently not serving food on site.

Δεν μου άρεσε Gents toilets require upgrading - but this is planned as Ladies recently completed.

Μου άρεσε Nice family-friendly campsite with a welcoming atmosphere. The owners were friendly when we arrived and kindly lent us a longer electric hook-up cable as ours didn’t quite reach, which was much appreciated.

The toilet and shower facilities were fine. The ladies’ facilities had recently been upgraded and the men’s facilities were in the process of being improved, which is great to see.

The pub on site was lovely, serving very good food with generous portion sizes. It was also great that BBQs and fire pits were allowed.

We stayed during half term and our children made lots of friends. It was wonderful seeing all the kids playing together and having such a good time. The only slight disappointment was that the children were enjoying a big water fight during a very hot 30°C day, and it was stopped because a small muddy puddle had formed near the tap. It felt like it would have dried up quickly in the heat, and the kids were having so much fun.

Δεν μου άρεσε Owners were friendly but occasionally a little abrupt with things.

Μου άρεσε Lovely campsite, lovely people that own the pub definitely worth the money

Booked for 2 nights as a first time camper with my 10 year old. We did leave a day early than planned but that was only because it was too hot and my daughter struggled with the heat

Δεν μου άρεσε Not so much as a dislike but only thing that wasn’t great for me was no food offered in the week during half term holidays or bank holiday Monday

Μου άρεσε The location is lovely. Set near to the river on the grounds of a lovely old pub. It was a bank holiday so very busy but but the staff were lovely. There was a singer on just outside of our tent which we really enjoyed.
It was also 30+ degrees one day but there is a grand willow in the grounds which kept us cool all day. We would stop again.

Δεν μου άρεσε With been busy and I think more one group of campers that were a bit messy the toilets could have done with a good scrub.

Μου άρεσε Location great , live music from the pub. Plenty of room. Nice little park. The food from the pub smelt amazing.

Δεν μου άρεσε Showers were good when hot ( alittle temperamental). Didn’t grumble as we were only there for a couple of days and used shower in caravan.

Μου άρεσε Nice location, and a lovely pub

Δεν μου άρεσε Toilets and showers need updating. Noise was a major issue from both this campsite and the neighbouring campsite until the early hours
