The Brownlow Arms

Me gustó The area, very pretty. Easily accessible with a tourer. The Pub was lovely and ghe hosts very friendly.

Oh and I loved the resident ducks - I have a thing for Ducks and they made my day.

No me gustó Not a dislike really but was looking forward to a pub meal, but they only serve food Thurs - Sun and I can understand that its because of the foot fall so no criticism.

Wifi service ok in the bar non existent on the campsite.

Me gustó Well kept grounds and pitches

No me gustó As the potential to be a lovely site, not there yet, not enough toilets or showers, for size of site, they said female toilet had been refurbished. Bar staff didn’t listen, people seen vaping in the bar area (inside) nothing said overall disappointed

Me gustó Beautiful place and the owner is really amazing. I left an hour early expecting heavy traffic due to the bank holiday. However roads were clear and i arrived early. She got me and my kids booked in and we set up.
Its a very wonderful family area and everyone just got along inviting kids to play together and have some random fun with slip and slide with spare air beds. It was amazing.

The pub is having renovations but i cant wait to return to see how that finish turns out. They do amazing 🍺 pints which is just what you need on a hot day.
Its quite and clean with a small play area right in sight to let kids roam and have some responsibility learning.
But under supervision from a distance.

Toilets are really clean and stocked.

No WI-FI which is amazing when you need to get the family away from technology and shut down fully. I would recommend the owners not change that, its what everyone needs!
Its close to Sherwood forest 32 min drive (if you are geo-chasing definitely hit Sherwood you won’t be disappointed! 12 mins from the closest fish and chips in Tuxford if needed.
The pub wasn’t doing food on the nights i stayed (i was hoping they did as the food reviews were wonderful) this i think is due to the renovation they are having but who doesn’t love having your own camp site cook-out!

Plenty of electricity hookups if you have booked Nd really great distance i have my 10m and it was more than enough.

So i would suggest checking whenever you stay what nights food is on.

No me gustó Only thing i disliked is the showers. Took ages to get myself and the kids showered because of the set up 10 seconds ice cold 15 seconds scolding (which for children is a very big danger, i would recommend the owners get this sorted over time to prevent accidents) 10 seconds of right temp.
So when using the shower be very careful and be very wary you can get scolded. Listen to the pump when it turns on step back and wait if you have kids or yourself.

It was absolutely amazing and I would absolutely recommend the site to friends and family 100% just the shower issue is a tiny small problem. But don’t let this put you off at all, you won’t be disappointed.

Me gustó All the facilities needed for camping. Great to have the pub on site! Didn’t eat there as currently not serving food on site.

No me gustó Gents toilets require upgrading - but this is planned as Ladies recently completed.

Me gustó Lovely campsite, lovely people that own the pub definitely worth the money

Booked for 2 nights as a first time camper with my 10 year old. We did leave a day early than planned but that was only because it was too hot and my daughter struggled with the heat

No me gustó Not so much as a dislike but only thing that wasn’t great for me was no food offered in the week during half term holidays or bank holiday Monday

Me gustó Location great , live music from the pub. Plenty of room. Nice little park. The food from the pub smelt amazing.

No me gustó Showers were good when hot ( alittle temperamental). Didn’t grumble as we were only there for a couple of days and used shower in caravan.

Me gustó Location lovely with gorgeous weeping willow and rope swing, we are lucky enough to be right by the river on our pitch, as we had a long cable to stretch across. Simple pub menu at really good prices. The band were great (pub covers). Lovely bank holiday weekend with friendly bar staff!

No me gustó Showers were practically unusable. I saw plenty of blokes peeing in them due to lack of toilets on a busy bank holiday weekend . Campsite toilet block is not segregated from pub customers hence why. Have seen plenty of negative comments about toilets so wasn’t expecting much but still disappointed. Campsite disorganised with campers all over the site inbetween children’s play area. Kids on Motorbikes riding around tents and play area despite owners best efforts to enforce any order. Dubious characters around on suspicious substances. Sure most of the beer drunk wasn’t bought over the bar. Owner looked stressed!

Me gustó Nothing

No me gustó everything they didn't realise we were a long motorhome (7.9metres) even though pitch booked was 8m x 5m but didn't think she could 'fit' us in. she offered a spot of land which was a joke and the other campers around was enough to put anyone off 'feral' is probably best described the whole place.
Thought we had entered the set of Shameless. Needless to say we politely said we would just go home. Would not have had a restful time if she could have fitted us in!
When my husband pointed out the toilet/shower block I thought it was a derelict outbuilding.

Me gustó Honestly struggling to write a positive. No safety at all. No fire safety points and campers stacked in (2 or more to a pitch or people in vans just parking anywhere). The only saving feature was the food service at the pub was great.

No me gustó No emergency number and unstaffed for most of the night. Nobody was following the so called ‘rules’ on a poster in the toilet and music/raves was happening until 3 in the morning. Tried calling all the number I could find but no luck. Surrounded by people smoking drugs and getting so drunk they were vomiting. I know this is not something the campsite owners could help but it was treated like a free for all. The facilities were honestly disgusting. We expect campsite toilets to not be perfect. For the volume of occupants 2 toilets didn’t come close to being adequate.
