  • Angling site with six lakes and the River Idle alongside
  • Regular match venue for coarse fishing, 30 minutes from Sherwood
  • Tackle shop, central amenities and café and licensed restaurant
Spectacular fishing with mighty scenic views... cast off at Nottinghamshire's Hallcroft Fishery and Holiday Park for angling in seven waters on a spacious and well-equipped park. Six lakes are at your fishing disposal here, along with yet more angling in the River Idle which runs alongside the site. You can land bream, eels, roach, tench, perch and varying types of carp at these, including at the huge Moat lake which is a regular venue for matches around its 190 pegs; if you fancy your hand at procuring pike, the river's the place to be. And if you need tackle, kit, bait or any angling advice, a shop for the same is right on site. Hallcroft is two and a half miles from East Retford, about 40 minutes' drive from Newark and half an hour from Sherwood Forest. You can stay solely on site should you so wish: the Kingfisher café and restaurant dishes up full English breakfasts, tea, coffee and toast to sort sustenance before a day's fishing; hot snacks are available some lunchtimes, and evening meals are on offer for after your angling. The restaurant is licensed, to serve boozy beverages during standard pub hours, and a pool table and darts board are to hand too. There are showers and toilets in the centre of the site, part of a good range of amenities including recycling, chemical disposal, a washing-up area and gas cylinder sales.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The site was lovely with beautiful. Spacious pitches with room for the car to park next to. We went into the cafe which was dog friendly another bonus. We gad a breakfast which was very nice and a very good portion. Toilet blocks were clean and were individual cubicles which included a shower. Just round the corner from the town centre. On arrival we were given an information pack with local places to visit and a list of restaurants. I would definitely visit again.

Stacey S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The place was beautiful and really clean

Disliked: The owner Andy James was extremely rude and when he approached us to ask if we had paid for fishing day tickets he was very abrupt, rude and obnoxious. We had paid and I showed him by bank transaction as his colleague didn’t give us a ticket. He even rang his colleague at 8pm to check we were telling the truth!! I meant I get that people probably try and get away with paying but we were instantly tarnished with the same brush. After asking him why he was being so rude, he told us to enjoy the rest of our weekend and to do him a favour and never come back

Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch

Liked: pitch size was good, friendly site and clean. humps in the road kept the drivers speed down around the site. Quiet site, nice bar, good seating area.

Disliked: Be aware of the speed humps some are very severe unless you slow down. Other caravanners using our pitch as a thoroughfare to the ponds. Not the sites fault, but when someone passing trips over your caravan step......

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Great if you like fishing, pools all round, facilities were good but not many when the site was full.

Disliked: More information on arrival i.e. about rubbish, no map of the site, appearance let down by some of the static caravans and expensive for what was there if you do not like fishing.

Local attractions

After your angling, take the kids to Sundown Adventureland (20 minutes' drive), a theme and play park for under-10s with rides and attractions of all sorts including an intriguingly-named ostrich safari ride. (You may or may not opt to let the kids know a pet shop is at the park too...) For a calmer time, the National Trust and Grade I-listed Clumber Park is 25 minutes from Hallcroft, for peaceful potters around its 3,800 acres. It's the former home of the Duke of Newcastle, so ponder on how the other half live during your scenic strolls, or hire a bike to pedal around the woodland and lake. National Cycle Route 6 connects Clumber Park with fab Sherwood Forest, along a path of almost seven miles. If you'd prefer to stay closer to home, Hallcroft is next to the biking and hiking of the Idle Valley Nature Reserve, an excellent birdwatching spot.
