Holme Pierrepont Country Park

Liked Tidy, quiet and well maintained. Excellent facilities. Close to walking / cycle routes and walking distance from the city centre. I also appreciate that they proactively notified customers about issues at the park.

Disliked The cost, £30 seems a bit too much per night for a grass pitch with no electric hookup. I’ve stayed at similar sites for a third of that. Worth it as a cheaper alternative to a hotel if you are visiting the city or water sports centre for a night or two but I wouldn’t stay longer at that price.

Liked The staff in the reception in the day were really nice, but the people your letting on the site, ie travellers were pretty discusting to be honest and more should of been to done to remove them, one poor bloke had his tent broke by their kids and 2 filled nappies were just left on the floor, they totally ruined the stay won’t be stopping again

Liked The site is spacious and well laid out. The EHU and water service points are excellent. Access to cycle paths is easy.

Disliked The shower/toilet blocks were poorly cleaned. In one block, small children were rampaging unsupervised and excrement had been smeared on the walls and floor. In the portacabin style blocks, the showers required continuous pressing of the button to stay on, making showering difficult and unpleasant.
Reception unmanned.

From the manager: Dear Guest
Thank you for your feedback.

We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the spacious layout of the site, the electric and water service points, and the easy access to the local cycle paths.

We are, however, very sorry to hear about the condition of the shower and toilet facilities during your stay and the disruption caused by unsupervised children. This is certainly not the standard we aim to provide for our guests, and we understand how unpleasant this must have been. We also appreciate your comments regarding the shower facilities and reception availability.

We would like to reassure you that a recent unauthorised encampment on site has now been fully resolved following police involvement and formal legal action through the courts. The site is now clear and fully operational, and we are working with specialists on additional measures to prevent any recurrence.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a much-improved stay that better reflects the standards we strive to achieve.

Kind Regards

Liked Good location

Disliked There didn't appear to be any security, at one point there were cars being raced around the site while children were playing nearby.
The showers and toilet block were very dirty.
Staff were quite rude and unhelpful

Liked Ideal for what we needed, the camp site was superb. Free showers, good clean toilet facilities, clear sign posted parking, electrical hook up and a very clean site overall.
Walking distance to local cafe for breakfast, reasonable priced distance by taxi to city centre.

Disliked Nothing really, nothing to complain about at all

Liked The staff were very helpful and friendly, the site was excellently located, and very convenient for the NWSC. The deluxe pod that I ended up staying in was perfect.

Disliked The weekend was ruined by the travellers based all over the campsite, with groups of children walking into pods, tents, and creating mayhem in the toilets, to include blocking sinks, leaving tissue and makeup stains everywhere (these kids were under 12), and trapping at least two women inside cubicles and not letting them out. Although I had booked a tent pitch, I ended up sharing a pod as there was a space (the pod was fab!) - thank goodness I did as my colleague, who had the tent pitch next to mine, had his tent completely destroyed by the gang of children.
I felt so sorry for the other families staying on the site who were shepherding their children around, and basically circling the wagons to create a safe space, particularly necessary as two of the traveller cars decided to race each other round the site on Saturday evening.

Thank you for your feedback.

We are pleased to hear that you found our staff helpful and friendly, enjoyed the location of the site, and that the deluxe pod provided a comfortable stay.

However, we are very sorry that your visit was impacted by the behaviour of an unauthorised encampment on site at the time. We fully appreciate how upsetting and disruptive this must have been, and we understand your concerns regarding the incidents you witnessed and experienced.

In addition, we are working with specialist contractors on further security and preventative measures to reduce the risk of anything similar occurring in the future.

Liked Beautiful natural area well maintained fields

Disliked Huge lack of facilities, 1 toilet block for 3 fields and pods. Toilets were kept clean but in need of updating, no private area with sink, most sinks only had either hot or cold very few had both. Expensive when you have to walk 2-3 fields to toilets
