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.

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!

Liked: Beautiful location in nature. There are attractive villages with a historical background nearby. Proximity to Stamford.
Disliked: The toilets, shower rooms and washing up rooms were not clean and therefore unpleasant to use.

From the manager: Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your stay with us here at Yarwell. We are very blessed to be amongst such wonderful countryside. I'm afraid our cleaning company let us down and it meant the facilities were not as clean for which we sincerely apologise. We do hope you will visit us again. Kind regards,
I would stay again

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.

Liked: The weather. There had been excellent communication and we were greeted by a very friendly lady but it was downhill from there. Flat pitch.
Disliked: What a disappointment. Our first trip out in our half converted van and the site was a real let down. The toilet block was far too small to accommodate the number of people staying - thank goodness it was less than half full. I cannot imagine what it would be like full season. The cubicles were filthy; toilet seats broken; cobwebs that must have been there since last summer; no equipment to wipe the floors after showering - so the next person got a messy room; no toilet paper in the majority of cubicles; shower drains blocked, black and slimy, and out of their holes. A fellow camper had tried to complain to be told they had been having difficulty getting maintenance staff. We had booked so that we could use the fishing facilities but had no luck finding how and where to do this and when we researched we found out that it wasn't even fishing season - something the site had neglected to tell us. There is building going on so the roads in were broken and dirty - which I knew - but they should really have though about this and maybe reduced the price as it really was an unsightly mess. Needless to say this is not somewhere we shall be returning to.

From the manager: Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your stay here with us at Yarwell Mill. With regards to the cleanliness I do sincerely apologise, we were let down by our cleaning company at last minute which did result in the situation you described. With regards to fishing I'm afraid that at present due to maintenance around the lake we are unable for safety reasons to allow fishing on our lake. I'm afraid that we are not responsible to regulations around river fishing - this should be checked yourselves. We are a developing site and whilst the roads around the camping site do need work this is all part of our plan. Kind regars,
