Liked: The toilets and site were clean, but dated and tired.
Disliked: Don't let the photos fool you, they must have been taken a long time ago!
We are experienced campervanners who usually wildcamp or stay on very basic sites, often without any facilities at all. We chose to spend more to stay at Robin Hood Retreat as a treat for the half term, but soon wished we hadn't.
Most pitches are occupied by long term/permanent residents who gathered until the early hours, making so much noise it was difficult to sleep. The owners neighbour the gathering and did nothing to enforce the quiet hours of 10pm to 8am. The site has a weird and unnerving atmosphere and, although the owners were helpful at check in, we felt like unwelcome intruders. All of the above meant we were not comfortable in raising our concerns with the owners, and doubt anything would have changed even if we had.
We originally booked 3 nights but left after 1. Had we arrived earlier than the kids bedtime, we would've turned around before checking in.
Save yourself the stress and money, book somewhere else!
