 The facilities on site are very good, clean and well equipped The owners are very friendly and helpful. Communications during and before our stay was very good.
The site is a must for people who just want to relax and spot the wildlife. The fishing pond, even for us non fishermen, was a delightful place, with a log cabin to sit in or on its verandah and enjoy the view with a complimentary tea or coffee!
The area has two pubs within a 10 - 15 min walk and some good woodland walks.
We will be going back to explore more

As all previous post say, What a cracking little site. We did some research before we went as it was our first time putting up the new tent and didn't want to venture too far from home. Heather text us to see if we were still coming due to it pouring it down. On arrival Heather was there waiting for us and offered us a choice of pitches. There were already some motorhomes on site and we chose a secluded spot near the entrance. The toilet/shower block was absolutely spotless as well as the whole site, which is a credit to them.
There is a lovely log cabin overlooking the fishing pond with tea and coffee making facilities, we didn't take any fishing gear but you are still welcome to use all the facilities.
We tried the chinese in the village and it was lovely. As mentioned in other posts there isn't a lot to do on site unless you just want to chill or relax (which is what we did). Overall a belting little site that we will be definitely be visiting again and really soon

My husband & I stayed here 3 nights with our children aged 15 & 13, trying out our caravan for the first time, having progressed from tents, and I must say that this was a delightful break. The site was very quiet. When we arrived there was only one other caravan, but a motorhome arrived later in the day & another caravan the next day. The later arrivals were there for the fishing; we weren't, but we did look at the very picturesque lake & the log cabin. The cabin has comfy seating, books to read, a fridge & tea/coffee which is free to use, (though we didn't)just a request to wash the cups up afterwards.
The toilet/shower facilities were excellent, like the bathroom at home! There was an outer door into the heated block which faced the washing up sink (complete with washing-up liquid etc) and then at either side is a heated room with toilet, sink & shower. For a site as small as this, just two toilets & showers were adequate & it was rare for anyone to queue.
There are no facilities for children if they do not like fishing, but ours brought books, DS & we have a selection of travel board games anyway.
There is a light above the toilet block & on the EHU stands, but apart from that, it is pitch black at night & very quiet, apart from animal/bird noises. We heard a screech the first night (fox?) & an owl on other nights. Mallard ducks & also a couple of chickens appeared on site & took an interest in what we were doing!
There is a Tesco superstore 4 miles away, near the motorway junction (M181) but the village high street has a shop for essentials, a pub, a Chinese takeaway, a teashop etc. We didn't use any so I can't comment.
Scunthorpe is 4 miles away & has a cinema, Pizza Hut, a sports centre, museum etc so things to do if the weather's bad.
This site is not the sort of place we'd spend a fortnight's holiday, but for a short break, long weekend etc I'd recommend it, and it's not too far for us to travel.

Just fabulous! Lovely people, lovely site in a lovely village. Only 7 pitches so ideal for a peaceful break. Not really suitable for kids as very little for them to do (which is a blessing!) First time here but won't be the last. Stayed for 2 nights much needed r& r slept like a log! Hubby disappeared fishing so he was happy. He caught more fish in 1 day than in the last 10 years The shower block is spotlessly clean with constant hot water. The log cabin is a great idea with facilities for free hot drinks too. The village Chinese takeaway delivers speedily & is very good. A pleasant 10 min stroll to the papershop takes you past some stunning properties Thank you, your site is a credit to you both. (but please can you possibly get a licence for sunshine!)

Heather was there to greet us when we arrived (although they do explain they are not always available on site every bit of the day) and showed us to our spacious grassed pitch area which covered the tent (6 berth outwell nevada xl), car, trailer and windbreaker rather well.
The pond area was lovely. Big fish. We didn't go fishing but my hubby sat with Steve (another camper) and learned a lot about it. There is a lovely summer house next to the pond that we sat with a cuppa on the first day.
The toilet/shower block is lovely and it was a joy to have the washing up facilities in the same block in between the two toilet/shower rooms. These are unisex which I didn't like at first but at the end of the holiday I could see the logic.
They were kept very clean. There are no facilities for kiddies on the site and obviously the pond area is a very natural weedy/flowered area with no fencing around so Heather and Martin stress to everyone when they arrive to please be careful of it.
There is a playground area about a twenty minute walk from the site turning left at the entrance. There isnt room for kiddies to cycle around as the campsite is very small (which we liked). There isnt much to do around the area outside the campsite, without having to travel a distance by car.
The walk into the tiny village takes around a 15 minute steady walk. There are two pubs although one is like a working mens club. The chinese is very nice and not badly priced.
The cafe in the village is lovely but with basic bistro snacks - don't go if your expecting a large fry-up for your money for breakfast. Its not that kind of cafe. And the local 'newsmarket' sells the usual newspapers, essentials like milk, bread, etc.
We went to 2 industrial retail parks as they were only a 20mins drive away in oposite directions. (only because the weather unfortunately wasn't great and we couldn't really sit out in the sun). These included Dunelm, NEXT, The Range(a large garden center / camping type hypermarket)etc.
Would definitely go back but outside of harvesting time. I think the price is great for the area and amenities that were available (£12 night).

This was a lovely campsite and we had a relaxing weekend. The owners are lovely and seem to do everything they can to make sure your stay is as enjoyable as possible.
The toilets are immaculate and cleaned regularly and very good showers. They even provide tea towels/liquid for washing your pots (not many campsites I've been to do this!).
Nice spacious pitches in the orchard and you're not too close to anyone else.
The cabin by the lake was nice to sit and relax in and hot drink making facilities were provided free of charge also. This was nice to sit in when we had a heavy downpour too!
I would recommend this site if you want a nice relaxing stay but not a lot to do for children.

Just got back from a 2 day break at this lovely site. Heather and martin are very nice people and the site as well as the toilet block and lakeside lodge are spotless. Fishing there is in the style of Mr Crabtree. Ive not had so much fun float fishing in years. Fresh eggs are available for a small donation on site There is a post office and a small shop along side a welcoming pub with hot and cold food and three traditional ales. All within a mile of the campsite. I will be returning as soon as possible.

Well just back from 4 nights at Acorn Wood and I only wished we had booked longer, This small family run site is set back off the main road and so is very quiet and peaceful,
the newly built shower rooms and toilets are heated and kept very clean and tidy at all times.
Around the site are various well kept flower beds with plants and flowers growing around the site. A gateway into the trees leads to what can only be described as a secret garden with a fantastic wooden lodge with all the facilities you could want and is open for all to use, the lodge over looks the fishing lake which I think is just the perfect size for the site. 7 pegs with an island in the middle and a catch is guaranteed.
The owners of this site are very friendly and always take time to stop and have a chat (a very big thank you to them).
The nearest pub is about a ten min walk but the Chinese take away do deliver to the site for just a pound.

A perfect small site, nothing really could be better.
The whole site, all the facilities and the small toilet block are as good if not better than many full size club or commercial sites.
Heather and Martin are perfect hosts, helpful but not intrusive and offer very good value for money.
There is a wooden lodge overlooking the fishing lake, and in the village there are a couple of pubs a small shop and a takeaway.

In 1 word excellent, the best small site that we have been to.
Owners very friendly and helpful, this is a gem of a site and that does not include the fishing - caught more fish in 2 1/2 days than all of last year ; )
Washrooms very good and the cleanest in 4 years of camping. All waste bins provided, including recycling.
Really nice log cabin which wife and kids enjoyed their hot chocs before bedtime.
We give this site a 9 out of 10, the only reason that it is not a 10 is the lack of a play area for younger children
Taking into account all of the above we would definitely return.
