Ticks all the boxes!

We were looking for a site close to where our friends had booked an Air BnB. The site was convenient, local pub in easy walking distance, village store that is quite well provisioned. On arrival we were impressed with the site, even more so when we found out there are facilities that include toilets as well as a shower. The site is exceptionally well maintained, the owner Abraham is hands on and has done a great job in providing a site for caravanners and motorhomers. If you are looking for a relaxed site to chill, somewhere as a base for visiting local interests or just a break, this site is well worth a visit. Electric is metered, but in someways it is a good thing as it made us think of our electric usage, we put some of the extras on our Motorhome to use. In our opinion, this is a well cared for and maintained site designed with CAMC members requirements in mind. Highly recommended.

Manicured Perfection

The quality care that the owners, Abrahams and Aiesha, have applied to this site is immediately apparent from the professionally printed sign at the entrance - with signage across the site thus exemplified. Wide entrance leading to a perfect gravel drive leading in turn to each hard standing pitch - superb pitch quality with water, drainage and electricity to each pitch - each service column lit by PIR cells. The site benefits from solar lights with Abraham an advocate of off-grid. His experience of solar panels for off-grid caravanning is well worth exploring. We chose this site as a four day trial with our new van - already in love with our van this site was a perfect location. Two toilets and a shower are a stunning feature for any CL but the quality here is superb. Abraham was on hand offering help and guidance freely. The birds were a little shy of my feeder but the rabbits on site were a delight obviously not aware of the patrolling barn owl. A short stroll way is the oldest working windmill in the country; open to the public on Saturdays, Dusty Millar gave us his time to explore many features of the mill. We also enjoyed Idle Valley nature reserve when we managed to tear ourselves from our BBQ - Abraham provides picnic benches and tables. Willow Beck Retreat - a superbly apt name for this exquisite site.

Smart clean well kept cl site.

We stayed here for 2 nights this weekend. We were very impressed with the standard of this CL Site. One of the best we have stayed at in our many years of using CL sites for caravaning and now in our motorhome.The pitches are all gravelled to CAMC standard and are super pitches with your own water drain and soon to be electric hook up. The 2 toilets and 1 shower are all kept immaculate. We met the owner Abraham on Saturday who has worked very hard to get his CL to this standard, he showed us how the site looked when he took over and the difference now, and his plans for the future. The site is eco friendly with solar lighting all around. We hope to return in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this CL.

Welcoming hosts

Chose this site as a weekend away May bank holiday to visit Gainsborough Old Hall, and was interested to learn how we would cope “ off grid”. Proved to be an inspired choice as its location was superb for us and Abraham and Aiesha were at hand to make sure we had a great stay. There’s an old historic windmill a short walk away that is open on a Saturday where Ian will enthusiastically show you around ( thanks again Ian ). Gainsborough Old Hall is very interesting/ Gainsborough isn’t apart from Gainsborough Heritage Centre. Retford was a nice little town with a variety of shops. We also cycled to Idle Valley nature reserve. The site is also close to Sundowners Theme Park for those visitors with small children. Ther is a cabin with a shower, toilet and sink and another with sink , toilet. Both were very clean and shower hot. Overall this is a super site that can only get better as Abraham is very passionate about improving his site. We will definitely be making a return for a visit again.

Perfect Nottinghamshire site

Visited for a quick break early June and found a great little site. It's well maintained, hardstanding, shower and toilets, what more would you need. No electric hook up but don't find that essential at all at this time of year. The owner couldn't have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Easy access to places of interest and for more of an adventure use the local buses. We walked the Chesterfield Canal from Worksop to Retford using buses, a great day out. Please give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Beautifully maintained site

Just had a long weekend staying at Willow Beck Retreat and have nothing but compliments. From the moment you arrive the signs are clear and professional, you are greeted with a very friendly hello amd the site is kept in immaculate condition. Facilities were modern and well kept. The site host Abraham couldn't be any more helpful. Local directions for nice places to take our dogs for walks and even gave me a hoodie when it got a bit chilly hah! Overall I rated the site 5 stars, it is quiet, beautifully landscaped and will only continue to improve as it grows and develops with time. Can't wait to stay again in the future.

Fantastic site

Just returned home from a weekend at this great site. The owner Abraham couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming. Having a serviced pitch was a first for us and having no electric was also but was fine with the solar panel. The toilets and shower was spotless as was the whole site which was really peaceful and surrounded by some nice views. It's got a middle of nowhere feel but Gainsborough, Lincoln etc aren't very far at all to travel to. We plan to return and have another weekend there when we can. All in all a great site with a great owner who wants you to have a good time. Hope this helps anyone looking for a nice well kept quiet site. Thanks.
