Liked: Very friendly staff, immaculately clean toilet/shower block with little extra touches like flowers, soap bottles and hairdryer. Near lots of walks, local pub. Peaceful location. Gated premises which staff have to operate so felt nice and safe.

Liked: Well maintained site with superb facilities. Toilet/ Shower block was immaculate, excellent pitches. I stayed with my adult daughter and we felt totally safe and really enjoyed our stay. The wardens were great and very friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay again 😁
Disliked: The price of the electric was quite high. As a guide, we had £4 electric which lasted us from about 12 noon to the following morning (7am) and we only used the microwave once, coffee machine twice and put the heating on for 1 hour.

Liked: Wardens are regular people and very efficient, nothing was a problem for them, site is perfect for access to canal tow paths which offer excellent walking into Retford and beyond, toilets and showers are cleaned regularly.
Disliked: This is no 5 star site, many areas are neglected and scruffy, scrap caravans are stored on the adjacent field and in view, not the cheapest site fees, but still charge for optional electric via top up card, if this was in the sensible price range I could understand the extra charge.

Liked: We came in May and liked it so much that we cancelled our planned trip elsewhere and rebooked to come here again!. Like before, everything is spot on (apart from the hand dryer, which isn't very powerful!) Lovely big showers, clean toilets, well kept site, large pitches and friendly staff on site. If you prefer a level pitch, ask to be sited nearer to the entrance. 3 pubs within 30 mins walk. 2 are lovely and well decorated, whereas the other one (Kings Arms) is more of a "local" pub, but still friendly, albeit a bit noisy as it's quite small. Retford itself (a flat walk taking about an hour, but with pit stops along the way!) is a nice little market town with plenty of the usual chains and some independent shops, plus many different pubs and bars.
Disliked: Nothing!
