 This is our 2nd visit to Thorntons Holt, and we really love it, kids call it the 'chicken place', with all the animals wandering around. On both visits we have had good plots, and have had NO problems. The shop is well stocked and the pool is a refreshing relief in the summer. Some nice walks along the unused railway, or the local canal banks.

Turned up late friday evening , just as the sun was going down. Not such good idea even in the summer. The shop was still open and we were greated very kindly and shown to the site. The field we were shown to was great, hardly anyone on, fully serviced for our tent's.
Staurday - Had a really good look around and found to our amazment the site was really really well looked after, free range chickens and horses were also guests at the site. It took us back to the good old days when you felt free and safe. the kids play area was great and everyone was friendly. If only we got pitched at the back of the site in the Orchards it would have been even better. If you do go here, try the apples and pears from the orchard, they taste so sweet. Best kept secret around Nottingham. Will be back again next season.

Went here for our 1st camping trip, and was pleased with the sites location and basic but clean facilities.
Had a walk in to Cotgrave via the canal and counrty park - very tranquil.
Only gripe would be the shop opening times as mentioned in other reviews.
Will probably make a return trip though.

Very Very busy campsite with a good walk to the toilets for little ones (or big ones through the night!), washing facilities etc from the far camping field we were on. It appeared to us that this site catered more for caravans and motorhomes etc. The swimming pool was lovely and clean however as were the bathrooms and wash rooms.

We have stayed at Thorntons Holt quite a few times and came back yet again in June and from checking in we were looked after, taken to our pitch, excellent sevice, we had a large party of children next to us and thought it would be noisy, well it was far from it - fourteen kids and teenagers not a sound.
Recommended for families, lovely walks along the Grantham canal, beautiful countryside, even had a chat with Larry [a seventeen year old horse in the paddock] loves carrots.
Have couple of days there you will like it.

We visited this site with 3 other families for the weekend this May Bank Holiday (2005). The site was very busy and we were placed in the “Paddock”, which quickly turned into a mud bath when the rain came down. The ground was not drained and so the water lay on the surface instead of draining away like it seemed to be doing on every other pitch on the site. Not a happy experience!
The site was interesting because of the farm animals, and the children had a good time, but the swimming pool was very overcrowded and needed some supervision and cleaning.
The local pub was great and served really good hot food. We were disappointed overall with the site though and will not be returning.

Camped here for a weekend last year. Stayed on nice field with tents around the edge and large grassy area in teh middle for kids to play. Nice site with relaxing atmosphere.
Toilets/ showers fairly basic but clean. Pool was good idea but always packed! Kids had a great time and would definitely return again. Did not venture off the site as only went for weekend with friends!

Chose this site as venue for our first camping trip. Wasn't disappointed. Camped in large field, which had the pitches around the side and left the middle free for games.Had nice large pitch. Right next to the busy road, but wasn't as bad as I first thought. Enjoyed having the free range chickens wandering around. Clean facilities and plenty of them...never had to queue and the place was full. Nice owners. Little shop that could have longer opening hours. Didn't use the pool, but it seemed popular, was always full.

Good site, pitches flat with plenty of room. Toilets and showers where clean and there was plenty of hot water. Pool good for the kids, had it completly to ourselves for the evening!
Staff friendly. Only 2 problems.. couldn't get a pitch close to amenities because of pre bookings, tho there where plenty of empty ones while we were there, and people walking past on the roads at 11 30 at night. Minor moans i know.. but otherwise a good site.

A lovely peaceful site. The facitilies were basic but very clean and maintained well. Loads of hot water in both showers and washing up area. The playground was a good size and pool was cool but clean. There is a real farm feel to this place with chickens and horses. The pitches have ample space and nobody patroling round. This site is in the middle of nowhere but there is a pub a short walk away which serves pricey average pub food. The only fault is the opening hours of the shop on site. (not early enough) overall very nice.

Nice Site - Friendly Folks. Pool wasnt working - which was dissapointing as was a key attraction to the site really. Again, fairly basic, but with a playpark and free roaming chickens and other animals to see our two young boys enjoyed.
A quick 500 yards to the nearby pub, serving beer and with added bonus of indoor and outdoor play areas was again a treat for the kids.
Site had a small shop well stocked, and proved ideal base for trips to Nottingham Castle and Sherwood Forest areas.

This was our first time camping as a family of 5 and there were good and bad points of this site.
Good points, peaceful and quiet and no problems with noise at night. Pitch was spacious and flat no problems there. Lovely views and a working farm so the animals were loved by my children.
Neg points, the play area looked really tired and the seasonal tourers kids ran amok around the area . Also dog poo !!! and we have a dog so its annoying when we take the time to clean up but other people dont. The heated pool was really cold my children were shivering after 4 mins of swimming. Also around the pool was dirty and the signs giving instruction on how to use the pool we all faded so we couldn't read them.

I actualy went to thorntons holt about 5 years ago and found it a really nice place, the swimming pool is indoor and quite pleasant. Theres a pool table and tv room for the kids.
As for the surrounding area, its near the vale of belvoir (pronounced beaver) which is full of small villages and local pubs, not too much going on though.
The campsite is reasonably close to the A52 which leads straight into Nottingham so you can do the tourist spots like 'the tales of robin hood' and 'the galleries of justice'

Just cone back from Thorntons Holt - found it to be very peaceful and relaxing. The owner could not have been more helpful. He came to see if every thing was ok. Very reasonable prices toilets and showers a bit dated but what do you expect for the price!

Spent a great weekend at this site. We had a good pitch just a few yards from all the main facilities.
Swimming pool was great for our 5 year old nephew although it looked quite busy at times.
Although the site seemed very busy, we had a really peaceful nights sleep. We will definitely be going back.
