 We booked in here for Easter weekend as there web page boasted this site to be excellent well to say we were disappointed is and understatement at a charge of £33 per night for caravan ecu and awning the pitch we were given was not big enough for our caravan our tow hitch was near the road I would have said the pitch was for a small tent we where stuck on the a corner into the next field so everyone kept staring as they went past, people walking there dogs and letting there dogs go to the toilet in front of our van not a nice sight when your eating your breakfast the electric kept tripping, for the size of the site and how many pitches you had to walk a fair way to the toilets(yes they are building new toilet and shower block not enough to service 150 pitches the elson point and grey waste was by the toilets so if your pitch is not by the barrier you had a long walk don't think it is worth the money that they charge and will not be returning

We have now stayed here four times in as many months and can say with some experience, that this site is run for the convenience of the owners. They care little for their clientele.
The chickens are quarantined under Avian Flu rules, the staff are still young, inexperienced and sniffy, and the new toilet/shower block, several years on, is still under construction. For goodness sake, get it done! Paying for substandard showers in substandard facilities is simply not on. They are a disgrace.
Why do they lock up their laundry facility at 5 pm? The only reason we could see is because they knock off at 5. However, they have a warden, much use they seem to be. So why can't they lock it up at a more reasonable time? Also, why do they allow people to arrive any time of the night? They simply leave their arrival packet in a box outside reception. The rest of the campers are then subject to noise, cars revving, children running around, dogs barking etc while the owners are blissfully unaware. Again, the warden is never in evidence.
They are not cheap, but they are failing in every respect to deserve your money. We will not go again, and we suggest you vote with your feet and find somewhere else. We will.

We have stayed at Thornton's Holt on more than one occasion this year, and like other reviewers we have found the site to be well maintained with hard standing and grass pitches, some with electrical hookups and all with nearby water standpipes. There is a playground, an indoor pool (fee chargeable), and a small shop. WiFi is available in the area of the shop. The site promotes a quiet time, which we have found to be observed, and it is accessed via a coded barrier. Chcickens run around freely which is lovely and there is the odd cat or horse to be seen too.
The shower/toilet/wash facilities are indeed old but they are cleaned daily. The new block still hasn't been completed, but the owner was still working on it late into our last visit.
Nearby there is a chain pub which does budget breakfasts and carvery meals, and there is a bus stop outside for transport to West Bridgford and Nottingham.
Now for the negatives. There is a storage facility for caravans and motor homes within a central area of the site (just opposite the toilet block) which houses a number of seemingly long forgotten vehicles that appear not to have seen a bucket of soapy water for a long time. This area despoils the site which is a shame.
Secondly, while we have always found the owners to be polite, friendly and helpful, our latest visit was marred by an inexplicably rude young member of staff who was frosty and officious. This put a dampener on our stay.
However, we will return and would heartily recommend the site.

Just returned from an enjoyable two night stay. All pitches good size & flat, in very well maintained grounds. Nice to have caravans and tents mixed together. Staff all friendly and helpful. Site shop well-stocked with variety of things. In the area I camped I'm pleased to say everybody obeid the 22. 30 curfew on noise - (appreciated when you have a 4yr old that believes the day starts at 05. 30).
Current wash, toilet, laundry, and pot wash old but functional with plenty of hot water. No queues. New block is being built. We don't do electric hook up so I'm always delighted when there is an on-site freezer you can access freely to rotate your freezer blocks.
My four-year-old enjoyed the playground and swimming pool. Would be really nice if poolside shower was a private cubicle to enable a full wash, rather than a 'swimming costume wash'.
Plenty to do in the immediate local area & further afield. We had a nice good value pub meal at the Goose at Gamston. Welcome pack provides useful information. We spent one afternoon at the National watersports Centre and were lucky enough to see the GB team practicing. We also cycled the 3 miles round the rowing lake.

Excellent camp site within 30/45 minutes drive from home (depending on traffic) convenient for a Friday to Sunday weekend break. This was our second visit so we knew which pitches we liked so were able to select our pitches in advance for a party of three caravans to be pitched together. There was plenty of room between caravans and on the two main fields caravans/tents are pitched around the edges leaving the centre for children and even adults to play ball games.
There is a small indoor pool open at various times and a small play area.
The Shepherds Pub is a short walk across the road from the camp site and serves excellent food at reasonable prices.
There are plenty of walks in the area and a nice walk along the canal. Holme Pierrepoiint Water Sports Centre and park is within ten minutes drive from the camp site.
The only thing that lets this camp side down is the toilet block which is old and outdated. There is a new toilet block in construction but unfortunately work has been suspended on this project for the time being due to lack of funds. Once this is complete then it will be a a much needed improvement to the site.
Even though the toilet facilities are not up to scratch I would recommend this site and will certainly return in the future for a weekend break.

We have just returned from 5 days and 4 nights at Thorntons Holt. We visited from Wednesday to Sunday during the Easter holidays. The weather was mainly dry with just one wet morning. The site was quite quiet, I guess as it was the start of the season. But there were a few caravans and motorhomes and more arrived for the weekend. All sites are flat and there are plenty of EHUs with a few non EHU pitches too.
The site has lots of good facilities including a good sized children’s play area, a shop, a large toilet block and an indoor heated swimming pool. As the site was quiet, it’s hard to comment on how the facilities would have coped if busier, but in my opinion I would anticipate that they would all be fine. There were plenty of toilets in the ladies and the shower cubicles were a good size with plenty of room to put clothes and toiletries. There was hot water and charging 20p for 3 minutes helps to avoid queues in busy periods! The new toilet block is still being worked on.
My boys aged 6 and 9 enjoyed the pool and the play area. They probably would have spent more time on the play area had the site been busier, i. E. If there had been more children around. They also enjoyed looking at the chickens wondering round the site, although the chickens mainly stuck to the reception areas.
Cotgrave and Radcliffe-on-Trent are just a short drive away where you can find small supermarkets and takeaway food. Radcliffe has much more than Cotgrave, and it is only a bit further away. We got fish and chips from Radcliffe which were lovely and the staff were really polite!
There’s lots to do in the surrounding areas and the site provides a comprehensive guide on arrival. We enjoyed our stay and are hoping to visit again with friends later in the year as it's in a good accessible location for us.

Not long returned from an overnight stay here, which was fine just not dandy. The site for us was adequate although still on the basic side.
Plots are generous surrounded by lots of greenery with room for the children to play. Wash areas although clean are becoming a bit tired. Personally I don't like being charged for a shower.
Swimming pool not open we when stayed so unable to comment. Hens roaming around the site are a nice touch. Not very helpful, given the rural location of the site that their shop doesn't open until 10am.
A good site for a stop-over yet for us probably not one for a 'holiday' destination.

In spite of the wet and windy weather we spent four pleasant days on this attractive site run by a very enthusiastic and hardworking team. The new toilet block will be splendid when completed despite the lack of support from the bank. The animals are very well looked after and the hens produce delicious eggs. Surrounding area is very rural but Nottingham and Derby are easily accessible. Cotgrave is a friendly little town with good facilities. Well done Simon and Pollyana and crew not forgetting little Freddie Whippet.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Thornton's Holt in September last year. This was our first visit but will most definitely return, we regularly visit family in Nottingham and the bus service is very convenient.
There is a carvery across the road which is excellent and very popular!
The staff are welcoming and very dog friendly! Our terrier, Lilly loved all the fuss she received!
We enjoyed watching the farm animals pottering around.
The facilities are kept very clean, even when the site is very busy which is impressive. Showers are 20p for 3 minutes and are lovely and hot. The new building looks great, we are told it will be a new washroom, it will be huge!
We booked a grass pitch with electric hook up which was generous in size and it was nice to be mixed in with tents as well as other caravans, an interesting mix of people to chat with.
We found the shop on site very useful for the essentials, and it sells the eggs from the resident hens!
We were happy with the price and had a great stay.

What a fantastic site, Very welcoming friendly staff. Dated facilities but have new ones under construction. Indoor pool which must be booked 24hrs in advance and was fully booked until the Sunday morning so if you want to swim you need to wait for the shop (which sells everything) to open and hopefully it won't be fully booked up, probably best to book before you come. Nice park the the kids. Will come again and have recommended to friends.

Stayed at Thornton Holt in August and had a lovely weekend. As mentioned by other campers the toilet block is a little dated but generally clean and a new one is being built. The site is great lots of pitches both grass and hardstanding there is also a little shop on site for a few basics. There are lots of chickens roaming the site and do be careful as they are nosey and have no problem climbing steps to have a look inside your motorhome! Only one issue very poor television reception they could do with an ariel booster system, but that's not so important. Overall a great site, quiet and friendly will go again.

Stayed here for the weekend arrived fri afternoon, nice established site.
Staff friendly on check in and directed to our pitch which was hardstanding and level.
Booked using the online system which is quick and easy, didn't like the fact that you have to state your nationally the choice being British, Scottish, Welsh, Irish and the rest of the world. Why no English??
Caravans around the outside and tents in the middle, not sure why they couldn't have kept a field separate for tents and caravans as people in tents are generally louder than caravanners and we were woken at 7am by kids playing football and screaming, bit of road noise in the evening otherwise peaceful.
Small indoor pool which is booked 24hrs in advance and was fully booked until Sunday morning so if you want to swim you need to wait for the shop to open and hopefully it won't be booked up.
Toilet block is a bit dated but adequate, showers are 20p for about 3 min but as previous reviews there is a new one under construction.
Nice play park for the young ones and lots of chickens running free.
I had no mobile or Internet, tv signal good, only 10 amp hookup.
Not far to Nottingham by car and there is a good pub nearby.
Overall a pleasant stay but don't think we would return.
