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.

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,
Yes Really loved our stay here. Friendly staff n great facilties…
