Liked: Wanted a quiet getaway for New Year for a couple of nights and this place was perfect. Perfectly situated in a quiet location between Newark and Lincoln so plenty to do and see with a short drive. Warm welcome on arrival. The Glamping Pod had everything we needed (stayed in many). Beautifully built, well insulated and secure. There's a small fridge to keep you milk,wine and essentials cold. Couple of plug sockets for the kettle(supplied) and to charge your phone. The Sofa Bed is very comfortable and folds down very easily. There's also a table and 2 chairs to have your morning beverage and a nibble to eat. The site itself is beautiful and maintained to a very high standard. The toilets and showers are fantastic. Recycling bins on site are just a short walk away. We did use the games room on the evening of New Years Eve to have a couple of drinks with friends who came in their campervan which was great. This includes a Pool Table (bring some 50p coins), Table Football and a Dart Board. I did intend to do a bit of fishing, but the weather soon scuppered those plans. But all in all, great visit and definitely be back.
Disliked: Nothing Really. All great. Just a couple of very simple, cheap additions to the Glamping Pods. A couple of Coat Hooks and a Dustpan and Brush (It's easy to tread in wet leaves and the like through Autumn and Winter and if you are there a couple of days, it's just nice to keep it clean). We have stayed in many of these pods and generally pack one anyway. The Pods are impeccably...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe stayed here for a couple of nights in October.
The park was well laid out, and clearly well looked after. John the warden was really friendly and helpful and took the time to show us to our lodge personally which was a nice touch.
Lots of parking right outside the lodge we were staying in, along with a picnic table and our own hot-tub.
The lodge was lovely on first entering but eventually, it was little more evident that it could be cleaner. The sofas need a good shampoo and the toilets where not as clean as they ought to have been and the bedding had a cheap feel to it, though it appeared clean, it felt 'lived in'.
This property was dog friendly (great) but it is frustrating at times to find a property is less than spotless, just because it is rented to families with pets. We take our dog everywhere, but you wouldn't know we had a dog traveling with us. Whilst not all visitors will take the same care. I'd rather pay more and find the property in perfect condition.
It does clearly say that Wifi is not great on this park and that is the case. We got virtually no signal on mobile data or Wifi during our time at the park
The park was blissfully quiet and the small pond on site, which the lodges all overlook provided a great outlook and a haven for wildlife. We had brought our fishing rods along and the fishing, even in October was fast paced...

Management lovely, lovely warm and clean toilet/shower facilities, indoor washing station with use of washing machine and tumble dryer (these cost extra), also there is a small communal fridge which was useful. There was a games room with a pool table but we didn't use this.
I had seen a review about there only being 2 showers and 2 toilets which I thought may mean queues, but there was 2 of each in the ladies and 2 in the mens, plus a large disabled / family toilet/shower room. This was in the building by the hardstanding pitches and there was another block down by the grass pitches, we didn't go in these but there was 4/5 doors to this building.
We didn't use the wifi so cannot comment on this, although a neighboring van said they hadn't had any problems with it. Our phone signal was good and strong for such a rural location. We will definitely go here again.
Disliked: The only thing missing would be a small play park for children but this doesn't detract from the site for us and there is more than enough green space for them to...
