Torworth Lakes

Positiv Lage

Positiv Lovely peaceful and quiet site. With eland water nearby. Security gates in and out. So felt safe. Downside is only 1 toilet and 1 shower that runs mostly cold. But we do have all these amenities on board so not such an issue, however they are kept clean and tidy. Plenty of space to play ball and frisbee with our 4 year old grandson

Negativ Could do with hooks in toilet to hang your clothes. If going to the loo before a shower. Shower needs warmer water!

Positiv Lovely peaceful place to stay. Beautiful views, little walk around the lakes with dogs.

Negativ Needs to be a no ball games around camping pitches.
Google maps wants to take you down a very narrow rd just up and across from the lakes with the postcode.

Positiv This will always be one of our favourite local campsites! We always have the best weekends here. The fishing, the iced coffees, the relaxed family vibes, the space for the kids to explore and play, the friendliness of the staff, the sectioned of pitches. We love it and we will 100% be booking again.

Negativ Nothing. We love it here!

Positiv Site itself is lovely. Well kept and shower and toilet relatively clean. However...

Negativ We’ve had lovely visits here in the past, which makes this experience all the more disappointing. I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but after speaking to the team in person, sending three Facebook messages, and two emails, all of which were ignored over the course of three weeks, I felt I had no choice.

The day before our arrival, we received the usual text with site and pitch details, along with a note that the café would be closing early at 12 noon due to a private party. That didn’t seem like an issue, until we realised the party involved extremely loud, outdoor music played directly toward the caravan park from early afternoon until nearly 1am.

There were multiple large speakers and even a live saxophonist playing over the music well into the night. Our pitch was directly opposite, and unfortunately, our three young children couldn’t get to sleep at all. It made for an exhausting and unpleasant following day. I understand that events sometimes come with music, but there was no clear warning about the extent of this party. Had we been told in advance, we could have changed our plans.

The noise far exceeded the site's own quiet hours (which we understood to be around 10pm), and it showed a real lack of consideration for the other guests. One couple who had just arrived even packed up and left early because of the disturbance.

It’s a real shame, because we’ve stayed here multiple times and even recommended it to friends and family. Unfortunately, after being ignored and left without so much as an apology, we won’t be returning.

Positiv The site is beautiful, the pitches are spacious and well laid out. The ponds are easily accessible and the location is idyllic.
Water points on each pitch is a bonus and there’s lots of room to manoeuvre around the site. The pitches are separated by privacy hedges and the entrance is well defined from the roadside with wide entryway and signposts round to the pitches.

Negativ We had not realised there was an extra charge for fishing, which was no problem but the gentleman who came to check was extremely rude and aggressive, my husband immediately went to pay and found the man complaining loudly about him in the middle of the shop. The same man also told off another child in our party for standing next to a peg rather than inside it (was fishing with her father) and for not using a landing net for a tiny roach (less than 100g!)

The shop is advertised as being open until 3.30. At 2pm we took all the children for an icecream. 5 members of staff were working on setting up the cafe for a party. We were told they were no longer serving and would have to go somewhere else. (We went to Manor Farm at Oldcoates and it was lovely - thoroughly recommend)

The private party in the cafe was very loud- it didn’t bother our party but was a problem for some other guests. There was no warning that it was happening and went on past midnight, again, no problem for us but would have been courteous to warn campsite guests that a special event was planned.

The bins area is quite unkempt, the gravel path to the toilet drain is weedy and the electric box in that area has no door.

Positiv Lake side location close to good towns and excellent transport links. The pitches had hedges to 3 sides which made for great privacy.

Negativ On Shower and one toilet for all the site was not ideal and I think that the cleanliness left much to be desired. The on site restaurant held an event on Saturday night which was exceptionally loud and went on until late into the night. This is not quite what you would expect from a countryside location like this. Because of the event the onsite cafe/restaurant was closed. It would have been nice if the owners/staff had informed the people on the site at booking or before arrival so that they could make an informed choice as to whether they wished to continue to stay. The site on Saturday was noisier than a Sheffield nightclub and it was so bad on caravan left at 10.15 pm.

Positiv Very nice and quiet place, plenty of space to walk, I will definitely come back

Negativ There could be a few more showers and toilets, but it is not that important because the pitches are only for campers and caravans and each has a water and electricity connection.

Positiv Site was nice pitch was very good with elec water and waste water and also had a small hedge around it which made it a little more private, 5 small pond/lakes for fishing if your into that, nice cafe on site and prices reasonable.

Negativ Only one toilet and one shower which was OK as only 5 caravans on site but site has 15 spaces so could probably do with more when full. Didn't like that the get waste point and elsa point didnt have a cover in.

Positiv Lovely and quiet little site in the country side. Shower and toilet clean even though there is only 1 of each. Several fishing ponds to choose from. Lovely coffee shop serving cakes, pork pies and ice cream.

Negativ No lighting on site. Dead fish around the pond skeleton left for the kids to see. Electric lighting stands around the ponds been left to fall in the pond. The ponds but alot of tlc.
