Liked: A nice site in a great location for walking and enjoying the river. The little cafe was a very welcome addition to the site - what about some visiting food vans too?
Disliked: We would have liked cleaner, tidier washroom facilities, and more of them. There’s one block, and it is quite a trek from parts of the site to use them, especially in the middle of the night! Perhaps provide a mop to clean up after showering too, the floors all got pretty grubby.

From the manager: Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your stay here at Yarwell Mill, and for your kind words. We are very lucky to have the little cafe on site which offers so many tempting treats. In reply to your comment concerning food vans visiting - I'm afraid that unless we could guarantee a given number would use them it is not viable for them to visit us. I have passed on your concerns regarding the facilities on site onto our Park Manager to review, we will certainly take them on board. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Kind regards,

Liked: Clean and pretty site, Riverside Cafe Availability of toilets / showers / washing up always good Level pitches, good grass coverage Electric easy
Disliked: Pitches quite close together given size of field available. Showers were a bit hit and miss (sometimes dirty, sometimes cold) - missed a mop to clean up

Liked: The open space around the site. Large pitches.
Disliked: The floors in the showers/toilets were always filthy, which made showering difficult without getting muddy feet or clothes. Although the pitches were large, there could have been a better physical devide. The motor that parked next to us was only around 1 metre away with windows looking into ours!

From the manager: Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your stay here with us at Yarwell, and for your kind comments. We do ask that campers pitch on the left of the pitch - regrettably is they do not adhere to this does reduce the space between pitches. We do hope this did not spoil your Yarwell experience, and we hope you will re visit us again in the future. Kind regards,
Overall, we had a nice time there in an interesting environment.

Liked: The site was very clean and welcoming. It was lovely to be near the river, although we did not participate in water activities it was nice to watch people enjoy themselves in the river doing different activities. I did not rate the WiFi or whether it was children friendly because these ratings did not apply to me.
