A Great Escape

This is a really nice spot in rural Nottinghamshire. Set in acres of parkland with great walks and places to explore. Didn't need to use the car at all during the weekend. Good facilities on site. But it does seem odd that the official closing time of reception is at 4.00pm making arrival for anyone leaving work a bit of a challenge. Luckily the wardens are pretty flexible with regard to arrival times. Check out the National trust tea shop, nice cups of tea great burgers. It would have nice to have been able to extend the weekend until 4.00pm but we're told that we a had to be away at 12.00, which again seems a bit odd when the site was pretty empty when we left and a sunday night in January is not really caravaning peak season!

1st Trip of the Year

Had a very enjoyable couple of nights here 2nd & 3rd January. A sign indicated that there was no WiFi....well, there was but extremely slow. This is not the first CC site I've been to where the WiFi was pathetically slow. I know that some sites are a bit "out in the sticks" but don't advertise WiFi availability unless it's useable. Site staff were very friendly. Unfortunately I had to give this site 5 stars for "good for families" as I'm sure it is. Thankfully though during our stay the children's play area was all but deserted. Don't get me wrong, I love children, I just couldn't eat a whole one. Facilities up to the usual CC standard, good standard, clean, heated toilet/shower block etc. An excellent site in a lovely setting with loads of opportunity for walking/cycling in the Park. We will be back......just not in school holidays!

Great New Years Break

Stayed 5 days at the site over the new year and thought it was beautiful yes the roads were bad but gritting would not have made a dent and i would not want to be trailing it back into the caravan or have my dog walking on it, my only issue is with the WIFI when will this site sort this issue out yes we do go away to relax and enjoy but with no cellular reception it would be nice to have some means of contacting family. Overall this is a great site to come and relax and spend time with family exploring the woods and surround area we ventured out to the Dog and Duck pub at mansfield about a ten minute drive from the site but well worth it the food was fabulous and the staff were very very friendly its also dog friendly which was a great surprise to us. The facilities are excellent and would certainly recommend the site to everyone.

New Year Slip and Slide

The site looked lovely in the snow, with the sun shining in clear blue sky. However when walking on the site roads it was so slippery as now salting had been done. It is all very well salting around the toilet block but walking to them was too dangerous. Units were slipping and sliding on the roads and some could not get over the speed bumps. Not withstanding this we had a fabulous stay with our friends. Hopefully next time we come it will not be after it has snowed.

Welcome to Clumber (sorry no wifi) Park

This is our local site and as such we visit at least 4 times a year. As far as I can remember, the wifi has not worked at all this year during our visits. Don't get me wrong, one of the reasons we love this site is that we can get away from emails etc. But for those not from the area, wifi is a useful tool in finding out what is available in the local area and given the weather while we were there, a quick look at traffic updates / road conditions would have also been useful. Apart from the wifi and the grumpy staff, Clumber itself was wonderful in the snow (despite the icy roads on the site which hadn't been cleared!)

New year

1st time staying at this site for our new year break with family. Not the best of starts, our greeting in reception was a little abrupt and unwelcoming/unhelpful. However, we chose our pitch & set up. I was surprised that no effort at all was made to clear the roads around site as it was like an ice rink and very dangerous. Yes the shower block & reception were cleared but that's it. The wifi was not working (again I'm told by a family member who said this was the case when she last stayed). We had a great time though as was family altogether but was quite disappointed with the service and greeting we recieved. Will be visiting agin in summer to see if this was a 'bad day at the office' for the staff who dealt with us as the location is great.

Winter Wonderland

This site is 40 minutes from home,we went often when our children were younger and returned this summer with grandchildren who loved it. With rabbits and squirrels on site and able to wonder safely in the trees it was perfect. We decided to try our first Xmas break in the caravan,not sure how we would go if it snowed! It was brilliant it did snow and we were snug in the caravan,the toilet block was lovely and warm and the area gritted well. It was a proper winter wonderland,we just walked in the park. Perfect. If there was a tiny niggle it was that the site roads were not gritted, but grit was available which my husband used to help us get off our pitch.
