Liked: Absolutely love Elton barn and have a lovely few days away. Gutted we have only recently found you and your now selling up. Wishing you both all the best, it was lovely chatting with you Tanya! No luck on catching the cat fish but had a few nice carp out and caught 47.9 cat at office lakes a few days later so he was happy!! Good luck with the move and the ninja recipes <3

Disliked: Nothing to dislike about Elton barn

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite

Liked: Pleasant little site and park where you like. Very friendly and free fishing if you wish. 2 nice bathrooms with showers. Fridges and microwave for customers use as a bonus. Cabins for rent as well. I would use the site again.

Disliked: Slight noise from location next to main road but was no real bother as my van is insulated.

Local attractions

Elton Barn Fishery and Retreat is a well-connected spot indeed – the site is just off the A52, so jaunts to Newark (20 minutes' drive) or Nottingham (25 minutes) are a real doddle. Days out to the cathedral city of Lincoln (40 minutes) are also fully feasible. Dipped your toe in aquatic adventure and eager for more? Whatever it is you fancy, the National Water Sports Centre (20 minutes) will probably have it covered – whitewater rafting, kayaking and something called lagoon wipeout can all be tried out here. Head to Holme Pierrepont Country Park next door for land-based action including segways, miniature golf, high ropes and a climbing wall. More sedate but equally special open-air times are to be had at Nottingham's Wollaton Park (30 minutes), where you can join the deer that wander the grounds of this former country estate. Right, that's water and land covered – now for the skies. Elton Barn Fishery and Retreat is half an hour from the National Space Centre, home to spacesuits, full-sized rockets and 360-degree planetarium shows. Newark Air Museum (20 minutes) has upwards of 70 impressive aircraft on display (aspiring captains also have the chance to sit in the cockpit).
