 Lovely site, good facilities and all pitches spaced out well. Toilets and showers were clean and warm. Staff very friendly and helpful. Didn't use the pool but it looked lovely.
Watch out for the chickens ! We were laughing for ages after they charged us, was like a scene out of jurassic park as they came through the bushes !
Lovely pub round the corner serving really cheap food and drinks. £3.50 for a carvery ! and beer was cheap as well

Just came back from this campsite. Our pitch was on bottom field which had tennis net in middle this kept kids happy.This field also had water tap not far from our pitch which was also bonus. Really enjoyed visit will be going back later this year.

I agree with some of the other comments about this being a bit on the expensive side. The pitches are good plenty of room but awnings not being allowed is a bit of a pain as mud is carried into van. The toilets were ok but, in the gents it's a bit of a search to find the urinals, lol, they are hidden away round a corner. They could do with having a bit of lighting, at night, it's very dark.
It's nice for a quiet break but a little too quiet for the kids as they were renovating the playground and there wasn't much else there but this should improve in the summer. Well placed for visiting Nottingham, Newark etc. Young shop assistant didn't seem to have much idea about any of our queries. All in all a handy place for a break but wouldn't stay longer than weekend.

We booked this site for a 5-night Easter break on the basis of the good reviews that we read on here, but for the first time I was disappointed to find that the site did not live up to our expectations.
Our first impression was that the site had a shabby, unkempt feel. We were in a big field which was great for the kids to run around a play football in but had no water - this was a trek. The electrics are only 10amp and kept tripping. If you want to encourage all year around camping then caravans are going to use their heaters! It was snowing after all! Ended up putting the fridge onto gas which is fine but we were paying for a hook-up!
Shower and toilet facilities very poor, ended up using the ones in the caravan (more trips across field for water!) Don't mind doing this but at £18.50 a night you shouldn't have to!
Altogether I found that the site was expensive considering what was included. For CL type facilities you should only be paying CL prices.

Just returned from another weekend at Thornton Holt.
As in the past it was a pleasure !
It's a friendly, spacious site with loads to interest the kids - chickens ( their eggs available in the shop !), ducks, horses, wild rabbits, a great indoor pool (reasonable charge of £2/person) & lovely new playground.
For the adults pretty countryside, great staff and good value pub just down the road.
The owner discussed ongoing refurbishment plans(a number of elements were evident since our last visit).
It all takes time and in the meantime, this continues to be one of our favourite sites.

First impressions, a very nice site, and the rest didn`t dissapoint.
When you first arrive, there is a lay-by before the security gate, and a short walk to the reception/shop.
The staff were friendly and helpful, but the shop was a little sparse, presumably the time of year.
Toilet/shower blocks were old, but clean, only downside was the 3 min shower, and the fact it was very cold with no heating.
Pitches well laid out, spacious, not crammed together and numbered so great for moterhomes and campers, you get the same space you left if you go out for the day.
It is best to check before you leave if you want to use an awning at this time of year (Feb) they dont really allow them during off peak, which would have been nice to know before hand.

We stayed on this site for a long weekend last year and loved it. We camped in one of the bottom fields which was nice and big for the little ones to run around safely.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The facilities are old, which we liked - the rustic look!- but very clean and the shower cubicles were larger than usual and the water was nice & hot.
We particularly loved the chickens and peacocks roaming around freely and there were 2 horses there too which the kids loved.
There is a small play area and a small indoor swimming pool which was basic and cold but clean.
Overall we loved it and will be returning this year.

We spent 10 days there earlier this month. Lovley and quiet, good security, and flat 'hardstandings'. Everyone was friendly. You do need a torch if staying in the winter, its a bit dark with no lights in the orchard area.
The chickens and peacocks at 11am every morning waiting for their food by the caravan! Some beautiful birds they have and some horses as well.
The only thing is the toilet block, as they are open all year round a heated and better toilet block would be better, we braved a shower but it was a bit chilly (shower was lovley and hot), and all the block could do with a 'high clean ' inside the building.
It is a shame a its a lovley place and we go back each year, but really would like to see the toilet and shower area a little warmer, but will still go back to use as a base for our xmas shopping, N we have heard through a previus review that the pub is cheaper again will venture over there next time.

Just come back from a weekend at this all year round site (nice and peaceful this time of year). It's obvious that the pub across from the site didn't work last year as they tried to go up market. What a difference now though. It's been taken over and put back to a cheap and cheerful all day carvery for £3.50 and kid friendly again. A lot of work has been done over the winter at this site and we can't wait to go back in the summer.

Have just returned from 5 days camping at this site while working in Nottingham.
All of the site looks level and there is a security gate at the entrance.
The staff were friendly and seemed happy to help with any queries.
As discussed the toilet block is a little old, but so am I!, and really needs a good clean ( I wash on a regular basis ). The floor is clean but the skylights/upper areas of the walls are a somewhat dirty. 20p gets you a 3 minute shower. As the site was quite empty there was plenty of hot water and the shower lasted more like 5 minutes.
There is a laundry room which I didn't use and the dish washing room was fine.
As stated on the site there is an abundance of wild life, mainly chickens, which I quite like but there is normally a 5am wake up call from one of the roosters. If your tent/caravan was next to said rooster when he opened up it was be quite a shock.
Had a meal at 'Shepherds' which seems a little pretentious and not really a 'locals pub'. The meal was 'ok'. The menu was good with a starter being about £5 and a main at £9, puds £5.
Overall Thorntons Holt was a good site and I'd recommend it.

Just returned from a 2 night stay with friends, Site could be great but needs better toilet/shower facilities these were very dated and primitive. Also only 1 block for whole site, so quite a walk from most pitches. Swimming pool is very popular and there is limited spaces per session so unfortunately a lot of disappointed kids at busy times. Did not find some staff very friendly or helpful in fact quite rude. Awoke 4.30 every morning by the otherwise lovely chickens. On the plus side spacious pitches on a well set out site that was great for kids and ball games.

Nice site not much to do but OK for base to tour Nottingham . Found that pub across the road not suitable for kids as is a up market place . Staff friendly , showers clean and tidy only bad thing is that the waste points and water was a fair distance away from caravan if you were in the bottom field.

My parents were having our children for the weekend so we decided to go away to Thorntons Holt with our caravan.
It was a glorious weekend and VERY RELAXING. The staff very friendly and helpful when asking about local walks and pubs.
The local pub has been refurbished and is lovely, although not as children friendly as before (which was fine as we didn't have the kids with us!) - but the meal was beautiful.
The showers, toilets and washing facilities are basic but clean, and when you walk out into free range chickens, peacocks and hens it is lovely.
The shop is basic but the Sunday newspaper ordering service is well worth it! We enjoyed ourselves so much we booked to come back the next weekend with our family and my sisters family.

Stayed for four very long nights. Site was swarming with mosquito's, men's toilet block needs serious improvements you can see over the top of the shower stalls, 20p for 3 mins but you do not get 3 mins and you must get in quick or the hot water runs out. However my wife says that the women's are good and you get more than 3 mins typical lol.
Play area desperate for repair but could be nice. games room again needs work no net on table tennis table etc. My main gripe the camp shop opens at 9.00 shuts for dinner 2 hours and then closes at 5.00 do they not realise this is a camp site, very over priced as well. Swimming pool was good nice and warm and i liked the way they regulated how many people entered but again it is only open for 4 sessions a day shuts way too early.
With some repairs to the whole site and a few improvements this could be a fantastic site, i would prefer to pay more for better facilities. i do not think we will return. O be prepared to be woken at 4.30 by the cockerel.

Had a weekend at this site and really enjoyed it. Lots to do and see in the area and the site is nicely laid out. Plenty of toilets and they were clean. We didn't use the pool, but others said it was fine and they had a play area for the kids.
The only problem I had with this site is that they don't have a dog walk area - lots of lovely parks, canals and walks around and about, but a little area on site would be handy.
