Unpowered grass and gravel tent or trailer tent site
Liked: It was a clean site . The toilet , shower block and dish washing facility was clean and well maintained.
Disliked: Missed the turning at first as it is advertised on line as 'The Willows 'yet it has new signage for 'Noah's retreat' . Noone around when we arrived so rang the number and was directed to the touring field .absolutely nothing wrong with the field itself, however it is obviously expanding and is having building works done and the view was mostly of equipment and half finished fencing which ruined the view and feel of the site (I would like to make clear that the work wasn't on going while we stayed so atleast there was no noise ) We were not made aware of this when we booked unfortunately. I am sure that it will be a lovely site to visit once it is finished but we cut our visit short and left a day early . In short, it's a very basic site and fine for an over night stay or as a base if you plan on just using it to sleep .

Liked: The place was lovely, Alan the groundskeeper let's say was amazing such a nice, kind man. The pond was lovely, found little hidden walks and rope swing, it was great! 10/10
Disliked: Need to get bricks for people to build fire pits (but you can still have a fire it’s just a suggestion) and put Noah retreat on here instead of the willows because it was a little difficult to find ×

Unpowered grass and gravel tent or trailer tent site
Liked: The field was well kept and tidy. Nice enough people running the place. Toilets and showers available and a sink for washing pots. Even has a washing machine and dryer.
Disliked: The fishing is now only for lodge owners/holidays. A huge fence has been erected between the lodges with camping field so it feels very segregated. The cleaning amenities aren't kept clean. We were there mon-fri and not once were the sinks and toilets wiped down, I should add that we were the only holiday campers on the field for the first two nights so plenty of time to clean the place. Also, if anyone is going any time soon, be aware that the holiday lodges in the next field are still building so it was noisy from 7.30-8am every morning.

Liked: We were using the Willows as a base to see family and have been many times in the past. Peaceful, friendly site. We were the only tent there on the day we left.
Disliked: No view of the lake from campsite any more, although you can still walk around it.

Liked: Not much
Disliked: The pictures are completely misleading. You can no longer pitch tents or camp near the lake at all as there are now lodges there. The site where you now camp is nothing special and has absolutely no view of the lake.

Unpowered grass and gravel caravan site
Liked: nothing
Disliked: The willows, as it was, no longer exsists. It is now called Noahs luxury Lodge Retreat there is no signage for the willows which makes it hard to find. Fishing is only allowed for the residents of the lodges and not the touring caravanners. The lake is not visible from the touring field as a solid wooden fence has been erracted to sperate the tourers and campers from the attractive lake area There is continous construction being carried out with all the machinery and noise all day long which is expected on a construction site . The touring pitches are nothing less than a souless parking space with no electric,no views and no piece and quiet. Those who have have previous good times here beware of the changes.
