The Brownlow Arms

A aimé Staff are very friendly and helpful. We had forgotten cutlery and the happily loaned us two sets for our stay.

N'a pas aimé The site was very busy when we arrived and there were only two showers and two toilets in both the ladies and gents facilities for the whole site. These facilities are in need of renovations to smarten them up. We expected noise with it being a pub site and the music on Sat night was good, but people leaving the pub and walking close to our pitch made far too much noise late at night once the pub had closed. We had booked for two nights, but left early as we spotted rats two pitches down from our pitch on the Sunday afternoon, we were pitch number 2. This was off putting and as we lived only an hour away we left.

A aimé Great atmosphere on the whole site especially when you nearly always get a live band on from the brownlow arms itself which you can hear on site, always good to know that the quiet times are enforced enabling younger children to actually get some sleep.
Great food and pub staff are great.
Washing facilities are nicely under cover with hot water.

N'a pas aimé Toilet block needs a little improvement especially if your in the shower and somebody flushes the shower goes cold but does go warm again.

A aimé Overall atmosphere, kind of a strange concept camping on a pub car park but it works! I really cant fault my stay... There are a few bits which i will mention below BUT I AM BEING PICKY. These would not stop me coming back.
Staff in the pub were so nice... Especially the girl. Spoke to the owner one night and he was really friendly. Id have loved to have stayed for the weekend to see the singer. Kids loved playing on the park, rope swing is great! Also the little touch of having the kids toys in the pool room was so good for us.

N'a pas aimé Toilets if i had to put something... Full of spiders but im outside, it's to be expected... Mens showers were a bit manky, my son refused to shower in them but we only stayed a couple days so wasn't an issue for us personally.
I would 1000% stay here for a couple nights, i personally wouldn't stay for a week.

A aimé Pub, location, service, welcome.
Pitches very spacious.
Good price. We've been to worse sites for much higher rate.

N'a pas aimé Toilets and showers need some attention. They are clean but outdated.
A bit noisy with kids at times, but can be expected at this time of year.

A aimé 2nd visit here in just a couple of weeks, we love it here.
Beautiful, relaxing, peaceful location, lovely views, right by the river, perfect for an evening stroll.
Facilities are kept to a high standard, there is everything you need for the perfect camping stay.
All the staff are helpful, polite, friendly, welcoming.
The site is perfect, made even better with the presence of the Brownlow arms, lovely local village pub, friendly welcome, the food is too die for, especially the sunday roast, pure food satisfaction, you can tell by looking at the food thats its all freshly made and cooked.
They have entertainment there, by way of live singers/bands perfect way to spend an evening, nice cider from the pub, chilling by your tent, listening to the music.
Going back again in November will be our 3rd time, gutted they are overbooked for our october dates xx

N'a pas aimé Absolutely nothing to dislike about this site.

A aimé Friendly personal welcome on arrival, lovely level pitch in a quiet spot, seconds walk to the pub which had plenty of outdoor seating and general safe area for kids to play. Very quiet at night post 11pm. Conveniently close to the A1(M) and kids loved the nature - bugs and birds - present with the countryside location. Fellow campers were considerate and respectful of quiet hours. Music performance at the pub on Saturday night was great. Our stay was excellent value for money all things considered.

N'a pas aimé Washroom facilities for campers/caravanners really need some attention. Our kids were petrified by the many many spiders in varying sizes present within the toilets. Although the toilet itself was clean the area around needs attention. In the gents, the experience was similar - shower tray was clean and water was warm but some updating is needed... the shower curtain was stained, mats were not something you wanted to stand on, peeling paint and rotten window frames, and the shower head was spraying everywhere. It wouldn't take a lot to raise the standard to satisfactory but it's visible in other reviews that the bathrooms cause concern from visitors. We would have liked clearer signage for the elsan chemical toilet disposal point / waste water disposal. None of this would put us off from staying again as the positives outweigh the negatives. We will just use our own facilities if staying again.

Second area of concern was the safety of one or two of the pieces of play equipment for the kids. One slide had a missing step on the ladder and exposed metal within the structure which could have caused injury.

A aimé Lovely pub perched on the bank of the river Trent. Currently upgrading the toilet facilities. Nice food, good atmosphere. Very relaxing
