Date of Visit: July 2016 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: AlisonRachel 1 review from this member

 In the heart of the countryside, in what can only be described as a peaceful haven is the 'Robin Hood Retreat'. Feels like a million miles from anywhere, so peaceful and so relaxing.

We recently bought our first ever caravan & we have now got a seasonal pitch here, it has been the best thing we have ever done. This park is like a community, you are made to feel so welcome but at the same time there is space to be alone & quiet.

We came here to escape the hustle of a busy city & we have not been disappointed. The new owners, Mary & Joe, are fabulous, I have never seen 2 people work SO hard to create somewhere that they clearly feel passionate about. The wardens, Sue & Gary, are very welcoming and will do anything they can to help, they have made our family feel safe after what has been a very sad & turbulent time for us, they give us the space to join in with the 'community' or have time alone to be together as a family.

The park is kept immaculate, the facilities are always clean even when the park is full. You can use the laundry facilities at anytime & help is on hand with anything you could possibly need during your stay.

We wake everyday to hear the birds singing. What more do you want from a retreat! There are plenty of lovely walks, lots of places nearby to visit, lots of local pubs & shopping in nearby villages or towns.

I have only good words for this park it really is fabulous!

I can only wish Robin Hood Retreat years of happiness, success & happy campers!

Thanks from the bottom of our hearts for giving us the fresh beginnings we needed!

 We have just returned from a lovely week away at Robin Hoods Retreat.

Such a lovely quiet peaceful place in the middle of nowhere.

A tranquil place in beautiful surroundings & perfect for anyone who wants a break.

The showers/ toilets are always immaculate & a credit to the Wardens who are always busy, making sure everything is spotless & everyone is happy.

The wardens are so helpful & friendly, in fact everyone that we met at this place were a pleasure to meet.

We will definitely return to this lovely little haven of a place 😊

Thank you for a wonderful stay, Anita, Steve & Joe

 We came to this site first in May 2015 and it left an impression on us then. A small, personal, but idyllic site and when we came back in this month it was even better. The new owners have polished what was a great site already. New showers, better hard standings, and much needed work to the approach road just show what the site means to them. We loved it so much again we decided to pitch for a 3 month seasonal pitch. For us, some of the bigger sites leave you a little cold. Not here. On this site, the spirit of caravanning lives large and everyone was so nice. Gary and Sue, the wardens, will greet you with the warmest welcome and you can relax on what is an absolute gem of a site. Well done to all involved and see you soon ! Jane & Jon + kiddies.

 Very friendly campsite that is quickly being improved due to dedicated new owners! Had two lovely weekend stays here and met the new wardens. Made to feel very welcome and already planning on returning in a few weeks. The playground was perfect for our little one and Sue (one of the wardens) even came to play with him while we did some jobs! The other warden was very helpful to other campers during a storm while they were away from their caravans, he put awnings back up and ensured caravans were safe from the rain while owners were away! We have been made to feel very welcome at this site and it has definitely made it onto our shortlist! The Copper Beech pub in the village is also a must, especially for Sunday dinner!

 We visited this lovely friendly site last weekend, we will definitely be visiting again! Nice play area for the children, lots of good walks for anyone with pets (or without pets). We found the owners to be very friendly and helpful in all aspects. The shower and toilet block are spotless. There are some great improvements being made and some of the views from the site are fantastic.

Reviewer: RubyLewis 5 reviews from this member

 We stayed here for 2 nights. The new owners are doing a wonderful job and all their hard work is paying off. The site has a lovely area for children to play and a quieter area if you are adult only. The owners are making an adult only part to the site which when finished will be great with lovely views over the surrounding countryside. The approach to the site is through a small industrial area and then up a single track road with passing places. Please don't be put off by this its worth the trip. We walked to the local village of Bilsthorpe which took us about 25 minutes along a path through fields. It has a small supermarket and a pub. We did not try the pub but the reviews were good. The site has very clean toilet and shower block and chemical emptying area. Reception has a very small shop. The owners deserve to do well and I look forward to our next visit.

 I have stopped at this site many times before and it's always been a lovely site very friendly with a welcoming atmosphere.

I stayed this weekend and was very very pleased with what work has been done the road leading up to the site has been resurfaced which was in desperate need! And driving into the site the toilet/shower block has been overhauled and brought up to date there is a little park which my 4year old loved and didn't want to come off.

The new owners have made more space's for caravans/motor homes all with electric hook up and there is wifi now but you do need to be near the office to be able to get a signal.

There is still some work happening and I'm looking forward to my next visit to see what else has been done.

Highly recommend this site to anybody child friendly and if you have pets there is plenty of countryside to walk them.

Reviewer: Bigbuck1964 1 review from this member

 Great site good sized pitches with electric, plenty of water tap available around the site. Toilet/ shower block modern and very clean. Chemical toilet waste disposal in cabin on it's own waste water is down a drain covered by a slab needs to be improved as could be a problem if women only campers are there, but the very friendly camp owners would help in such cases. Great location for visiting Sherwood forest, ruford abbey, Clumber park and only 30 minute drive to the centre of Nottingham. Bilsthorpe village is a 20 minute walk away on a public footpath great for dog walking as the local pub is dog friendly. On arrival don't be put off by access road it is through a small industrial estate an appears narrow but it is fine and the campsite is well worth a visit

Reviewer: Mick Buckley 1 review from this member

 Having stayed at Robin Hood Retreat before, we were absolutely speechless on arrival this year to see all the hard work the new owners have done to update this lovely campsite retreat. The toilet & shower block have been overhauled and even has music while you shower or have a tinkle ! The lane leading up to the site has been resurfaced so no potholes to consider anymore, they were in the midst of expanding the site during our stay and this new area will be quite spectacular with the laurel hedges in between pitches and stunning views over the countryside.

Can't wait for our next visit !

 Great stay for our long weekend in May. The owners are doing a great job making this a very nice site. They are still improving which will make it even better.

The site wardens are so friendly and helpful, I wish all sites were ran this way.

I can recommend a visit, and we are hoping to visit their other site Orchard Park soon.

Reviewer: Wibbs 9 reviews from this member

 Booked here last minute for the bank holiday weekend previously stayed in 2012 and it was good.

But the new owners have really stepped it up a gear and are making a fantastic job of upgrading.

Do not be put off by the single track road as there is a little oasis of peace and quiet at the end of it.

Can't wait to go back and see all the hard work completed

 Robin Hood Retreat was the first site we visited when we brought our caravan. Can't keep away now. The host Jo and Mary and amazing like family along with Gary and Sue who look after us always. The site is very clean quite and the facilities are always clean.

We are looking forward to spending our first caravan christmas with our caravan family. Fun times ahead. Come and join us and share a cooked christmas dinner and fun and games.

 Just returned from a super weekend. It's the first time we've stopped here, but from the minute we pulled up to the minute we left nothing was to much trouble. Lovely children's play area. Toilets and showers are spotless and not the push button type. Proper bar showers. Perfect base for if your going out and about around the local area. Also the pub in the village is fantastic.

Reviewer: Cazza2016 1 review from this member

 Absolute Gem !

Cannot recommend highly enough this beautiful peaceful Site

Good sized pitches on gravel with electric hook up

Easy access to everything

We were greeted with smiles and nothing was too much trouble throughout our stay

The shower block. Wow ! Boiling hot showers, very very clean and kept clean regularly

An absolute must to visit. Central to so many places and we will be visiting again in the near future

We visited Wheelgate and there are many attractions close by

Our 5 year old loved the playground and met new friends daily, he loved it so therefore happy parents 😀

The owners are working so hard with daily improvements and they deserve credit for all they are achieving. Wish you every success see you soon
