Camping Pod - Camping Pods (Dog Friendly)Aug 2025

We had a great stay thank you. Wonderfully nice staff and facilities. Incredibly well kept, stunning venue. We'll definitely be back.

Great location for a holiday, mixed results from fishing but it’s what you make of it al that counts

Camping Pod - Camping Pods (Dog Friendly)Jul 2025

Everything about the camping here is excellent for the price, with the only slight draw backs coming from the fishing side of things. The camping pod we stayed in being clean while having enough space to fit three of us (Although it was a bit tight) and being hooked up to power was a great plus. The toilet block was really clean and looked relatively new as was the rest of the site. Alongside this all the staff were really friendly and helpful. Me and my mates came to this place for a relaxing week with a bit of fishing, fishing on the large lake throughout our trip. Now I think if that’s your main goal you will get more than you want to here but perhaps if you are looking to be extra serious about fishing you might not be overly exited. The lake itself is well maintained with the swims being clean and clear but fishing could be slow especially if you are going for bigger fish especially carp. There definitely are carp here but I can’t anticipate the are there in huge numbers. out of me and my mates I was only one to catch carp, catching two infact (in the pictures below) both caught on hotdog sausage with the suggestions being here that unconventional baits like hot dog or muscles work best on this venue. but obviously with that type of fishing there is no guarantee of fish so take my advice with a pinch of salt. There is seemingly a good stock of course fish and some decently sized bream and roach, with our most efficient catching of these coming from using method feeders. The pegs which worked best for us where the ones facing towards the private fishing side, with both of my carp being caught in the close weeds to rhe left of peg 8. I would say that if they stocked the big lake with more carp then the whole package of the holiday would be extremely desirable for someone targeting carp and I would definitely come back if that’s the case.

Stunning place to stay

Camping Pod - Camping Pods (Dog Friendly)Jul 2025

Absolutely beautiful area, so tranquil & peaceful it’s like stepping into another world. We stayed in one of the camping pods for 2 nights this weekend and the pod was clean, spacious & perfect for 2 people. Lots of facilities available including a modern single shower & toilet a few metres from the pods (as well as shared facilities behind the central building - along with a washing up area). Shower warmed up quickly & stayed hot which you don’t always expect at a campsite. Gail from the site team made us feel so welcome, huge thank you to her in particular for getting us some butter from the shop after we forgot to bring some! Soft drink cans & small ice cream tubs available to buy from reception which is a really nice touch. Would highly recommend this place to anyone, and we’ll be coming back again soon.

Beautiful tranquil riverside and lakeside setting

Everyone would enjoy this place and for basic camping pod just bring a good airbed or camp bed. I didn't come to fish but it is an angler's paradise. Very friendly warm welcome in person and by email with all info I needed. Really close to M6 so perfect to break up a long journey.
