The Brownlow Arms

Liked Had a one-night stay at the Brownlow Arms. It's a lovely traditional pub serving good beer and good food. The camp site itself offers nice level pitches. There's a play area for the children and dogs are very welcome on site and inside the pub. There was live entertainment on the Saturday night I stayed. The atmosphere was also nice and welcoming. It can get busy but the staff all work hard to make sure that you don't have to wait too long to get served. Top tip, if you want food, book a table on arrival, we managed to get the last slot for our evening there, the food itself was great!

Disliked Toilets and showers could do with improvement and in fairness it looks like work in that area is ongoing.

Liked Nice little site off the A1. Very reasonable at £12 per night with showers, toilets, Elsan and fresh water as well as EHU. Lady who checked me in was very helpful. Felt very safe as lone traveler.

Disliked Site was under development, especially the pub that only served food at the weekend but not a problem for me.

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

Disliked 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.

Liked 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.

Disliked 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.

Liked 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.

Disliked 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.

Liked 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

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