We stayed here for 2 nights. This was our first experience in our own Motorhome, we have hired prior to this.
A good site, easy to find and access from main roads. A warm welcome and easy pitches, we needed to level slightly with chocks but other wise a good pitch with electricity only.
Toilets clean and warm and no complaints.
No facilities on site and no local pub to walk to but we drove into Newark 10-15mins and parked easily at the long stay car park close to town. Just be considerate and choose your spot carefully. We ate at the Prince Rupert which was quirky with good food.
Slight draw back to the site is traffic noise from A1, didn't bother us but be aware you can here it.
This is or second visit to this site and once again we were not dissapointed. The site is very clean and well kept the staff or helpful and friendly lovely walks around the site and the small fishing lakes.
Toilets and showers are immaculate.
A short drive into Newark or Lincoln Cromwell it self is a small village with one or two pubs and a micro brewery which we intend to visit next time.
Bare in mind this site is very close to the A1 so some of the pitches may get increased traffic noise but we didn't really notice it. This is probably because there is high banking surrounding the site which reduces the noise and adds to the privacy.
Fantastic site ! easy to find and very friendly staff, showers / toilets immaculate.
Nice walks for dogs. Village shop 5 Min walk away, a little noise from A1 in the evening but nothing bad enough to spoil our stay. Lovely landscaped site with both hard and grass pitches.
Good fishing in the sites own lake, at least it looked good to a non fisherman !
We only stayed one night on a stop over travelling south east, small site without night-life or children's entertainment but perfect as a stop over.
Stayed here on an overnight stop on the way from Scotland down to Norfolk. Ideally placed next to A1, though as others have mentioned, there is virtually no road noise on site.
Very well kept pretty site with fishing available as well (We had equipment but couldn't fish as we didn't realize you need a government rod license to fish in England & Wales - got one at a post office later in the holiday for our boy - at a cost of £5 a year. (costs a lot more for an adult however. )
Facilities excellent, and there's a BP garage at the top end of the village where you can refuel, ready for the onward journey the next day.
Just coming to an end of a 9 day stay at this site, site is so easy to find being located on the A1 junction signed Cromwell & Doll museum.
A very warm welcome from the site wardens easy & quick check-in etc, pick your own pitch, most pitches are level hardstandings and of ample size, with some grass pitches available. Make sure you have hardstanding awning pegs as the ground is rock hard.
Fishing on site, I found it a hard water to crack, took me 3 days to catch anything consistently fish in the lily pads to produce fish which are Carp, mirrors, commons, crutian, Tench, Roach & Rudd
Weighed a Mirror for a young lad last night at 17.8 lbs, I've had loads of tench to over 5lbs. All fishing pegs are disabled accessed being made from timber decking and level, path from site to pond is level too, so wheelchairs would NOT be any problem. Large private day ticket carp lake adjacent to site stating it holds carp in the 40lb bracket
Toilets and showers always clean and well maintained, as some have said they could with more loo's etc but we never had to queue and the site is packed. Mobile fish and chip van on site every Friday night, icecream van calls twice a day too.
Dogs welcome and there is an ample on site dog walking area, with good dog walking off site too.
Lastly don't let the sites location put you off, the A1 is screened off by a high soil embankment, and in all honesty you don't notice the traffic noise
Lovely caravan site, very well maintained. We were lucky enough to get a pitch overlooking a small pond. Toilets were clean, perhaps could have done with a couple extra showers but everywhere was clean.
Brilliant dog walk on site around the fishing lake. Fishing available, otherwise no other facilities. Local shop approx 5 min walk away. No village pub.
Would recommend the Muskham Ferry for food, they allow you in with a dog too - Menu isn't up to much but the food was excellent.
A1 is very close and so there is the obvious noise that comes with this, but it wasn't too bad. Would recommend.
This was the first site we used with our caravan, it was just for one night, basically a see what plugs in where exercise.
We arrived about lunch time. The check in was simple, after paying and being told where the toilets etc were we were told to pick our spot. All the pitches were hard standing and separated by hedges. The site was beautifully laid out with 3 or 4 toilet/shower blocks, a fishing lake and a nice dog walk.
The toilet blocks were spotlessly clean and heated as well.
The site is right by the A1 but there was no significant traffic noise due to a large banking absorbing the sound.
The site owners were very helpful even giving us a piece of drain hose which for some reason we didn't have, also telling us where the nearest pubs serving food were. The nearest being a couple of miles away.We went to the Muskham ferry which was the next junction down the A1 and the food was really nice.
There was only a small shop just outside the site but it sold all the basics you may need, nothing much else really in the village.
If you need a stopover on the long drive south this site is ideal
We stayed here for one night during the big freeze and arrived in freezing fog conditions, had already booked online so the process was a friendly formality, Cost was £14.60 with E H U.
We picked a pitch not too far away from the facilities but had a nice open view over fields, there are bird feeders at various places on site and there was also plenty of rabbits wandering around so it was nice to see some wildlife in such adverse conditions. As mentioned elsewhere is the dog walk, which our two dogs loved and we liked to walk around the pond which was frozen over (as was the large carp lake in the next field), the dog walk rises up the bank that is formed to create a shield for the busy A1 traffic noise.
I did not find the noise intrusive, in fact I thought it was pretty quiet considering the location.
The facilities were ok (could get busy in summer!) and the ladies block was being redecorated at the time.
We walked around the local village which does not have much to offer but then it is a remote kind of site.
We would use the site again for an odd nights stay on a tour, it's just lacking a pub to walk to and a decent shop nearby to stay any longer.
Stayed at this site recently, for the first time, and found it to be a very pleasant site. To add to other reviews given here, our pitch was plenty big enough, but we did not put the awning up. Some pitches are definitely larger than others, but none seemed overly small. We pitched nearer to the entrance than the lake, so were sufficiently distant from the A1 for that not to be a noise issue, but I agree with other reviews that you can’t be surprised to hear road noise if you choose a site next to a busy road! We could however, hear the busy railway line from where we were pitched. We always use Google maps before we go to a site so we are aware of what to expect. Using either the aerial view or (if available) streetmap view, gives you a pretty good idea of what is nearby!
The toilet/shower blocks were very small, and, as our son found out, it’s not easy to hold the shower button down with one hand (to keep the water flow going) and then try and wash your hair with the other! He was also plunged into darkness after the movement sensor for the main lights decided there was no-one in the block! However, most vans, including ours, have very well equipped shower rooms these days, so it should not put people off from using this site – just plan to use your own facilities instead!.
One thing I would say is beware if you use the local farm shop in Cromwell. It may well be very handy but the “age” of the produce was definitely suspect. The veg looked very tired and some was definitely going off, so we decided not to buy any of that. However, we did buy some Lincolnshire Plum Loaf and were very disappointed indeed to find it was 10 days beyond its date code! Sadly we didn’t discover this until we got back home. Will give that shop a miss next time we stay at the site.
