Blackbrook Lodge Camping and Caravanning

Gostou What a delightful little site. Lovely and peaceful. Little shop is well stocked. Shower and toilet facilities clean and pleasant. Really nice for a weekend getaway.

Não gostou Not so much a dislike, just some observations:
- You will need leveling ramps as the pitches are quite slanted. Some of the other vans were having to use several bits of wood to keep level
- Not much to do on site, but then it doesn't claim to be an entertainment venue. Just bring plenty to do
- Bins and elsan were hard to find and not clearly signposted

Gostou Lovely little site, plenty of space. First time towing a caravan in about 7 years so very easy to find with no tight/small roads

Gostou Great sized little pod for 2 (+small dog!) and well equipped with amenities, including a great camping table and chairs to sit outside and enjoy looking over the fishing pond. Really accommodating hosts for us and our friends over the weekend. The site had clear and fair rules, a brilliant little shop and clean facilities for showering and toilets.

Não gostou Hard to find anything we disliked, it seems too strong a word - if I was forced to suggest improvements I would say some of the cleanliness of the pod could have improved (around the window seemed a bit dirty but of no major concern) and the fire pit outside of our pod had not been cleared before our arrival from previous use. There was discarded half-burned takeaway chips in there, not just ashes of burned wood and charcoal.

Gostou It's a beautiful little piece heaven. We stayed in the Blue Lodge. This was perfect for us. My self and my wife wanted somewhere that was an escape from the hustle and busell of modern life.I have to add in my review that I personally don't and have never been a person who goes fishing but this site is absolutely perfect for someone who loves fishing. For us though it's a beautiful place the lodge is lovely. The site is very peaceful and quiet and if that's what you're looking for well this is it. The staff are brilliant and do a fantastic job of looking after their guests. My wife has as pointed out when we took a walk around the lake that this place is just perfect for someone who as a dog. Anyway we enjoyed our stay in the lodge it's very well equipped and we will definitely will come back again.

Não gostou For us the electric gate on the site was very tricky as we didn't know how to get in and out of the site and was stuck for quite a while at one point. Anyway when we come again we have now been shown how to get in and out so we can now get on and off the site ok. At least it's a very secure site.

Gostou Friendly and amenable, large pitch (ramps required), in quiet rural location little shop for emergency supplies, continuous running showers not push button. Nice walk of about 1.5/2 miles across fields to local pub that served lovely food.

Não gostou Unfortunately closest bus stop quite a walk, about a mile, so had to drive off site or taxi to go sight seeing.

Gostou Friendly welcome and an easy site to navigate. Modern facilities. Little shop on site.

Não gostou Where we were pitched was right by a main road, although it wasn't too noisy. Walk to facilities was right to the bottom of the site, in reality about a 2 min walk.

Gostou We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blackbrook Lodge! The campsite is wonderfully quiet and kept impeccably clean, creating a relaxing atmosphere. The friendly and polite staff went above and beyond, always ready to assist with any questions we had.

The views were simply amazing, adding to the overall charm of the location. The pitches were a great size, providing ample space for our family. Being close to the shop was a convenient bonus, making it easy to grab any essentials.

One of our favorite features was the fabulous little fishing pond. It was a fun activity for everyone and added a unique touch to our getaway. Overall, Blackbrook Lodge exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to return!

Não gostou While our experience at Blackbrook Lodge was largely positive, there were a few aspects that could use improvement. One notable issue was the lack of storage for clothes in the showers, making it inconvenient to keep our belongings organized while showering. Additionally, the absence of a disabled shower chair could be a concern for those who need it.

Another inconvenience was the need for an in-ground area to empty waste water from the caravan. The height made it difficult to lift the heavy water hog, and having a designated spot would greatly enhance the experience for campers. Addressing these issues would certainly improve the overall functionality of the facilities.
