Trentfield Farm over the last few years has taken all reviews and comments very seriously, both on this site and others. Since 2004 we have strived to continually improve the site.

1) The much needed Eco Friendly New heated toilet block. We hope to add more showers in 2007.
2) A purpose built Wash Room, including FREE freezer for cold blocks.
3) An arrival and Reception Area.
4) Comprehensive information on arrival
5) Continually adding more hedging and trees, and adjacent water points.
6) Strict guidance to guests on site behaviour
7) 24 Hour staff attendance
8) The local pub (5 minute walk) is now doing food which is excellent

The web site will also be updated for the 2007 season with new Tariff and photos etc.

What can I say, we were there in July 2005 and find the site excellent, very clean, new shower and toilet block which were overdue, field kept very well with fishing just over bank, river shallow in places - ideal for kids paddling which kept them amused for hours! Pub serving excellent food just a pleasant 5 min walk away, staff friendly and helpful, not much to do for kids but great weather helped. Quiet & peaceful park, but if you get good weather its an excellent setting - just ignore the power plant!

The Simpsons in Springfield hahaha, 4 adults went in July 2005, BIG power station behind which we thought was actually quiet funny. Toilets were in the process of being done; sure they will be nice when finished. Nice area with gentle walk to the two pubs. Site is bare minimum but very friendly owners. Wouldn't go back but wouldn't tell you not to go either !

The site is nice, nothing special but nice, really good toilet/shower area, the place is clean & well kept! I visited a couple of times during summer 2006 for the purpose of fishing and the claim that they have a mile of riverfront fishing is a false claim, the sections they have laid claim to are overgrown and hard to get to! And as I understand it this is not their land, but land claimed and fenced off! In any case just over the brow are many more fishing spots, that are well kept by the local angling club and served me well!

In all then site: good !

Claim of fishing: lie !

Local fishing club spots: quality.

Lovely site, location is 1st class. The reception you receive is just like a good friend would greet you. The information pack you are provided with would be the envy of any tourist board. The staff at Trentfield appear to genuinely care that you enjoy your stay. The walks around the site are lovely, and the river is a pleasure. The power station is not an issue at all, rather have that than batteries and candles.

Didn't try the pub as we met new friends whilst staying at Trentfield.

Lincoln is certainly worth a short drive, very very friendly people, better than York for this reason.

Would definitely return to Trentfield as many times as possible.

Lots of areas for the kids to play safely, without being a nuisance.

If you are looking for a 1st class site without all the hustle and bustle, then do not delay in booking.

If you are serious about enjoying the countryside and letting the kids discover being kids again, then Trentfield is a must.

WOW, Just come back from our Summer Holidays at Trentfield Farm, and had a fantastic time.

Where do I start? Location. It could not be better, ideal for visiting Lincoln, Nottingham (although a bit further), Sherwood Forest, Clumber Park and the 2 local towns Newark and Retford both of which have supermarkets etc. Its 5 minutes drive to Sundown Adventureland which is ideal for under 10’s. Clumber Park is about 15 minutes away. Ideal for cycling and walks through the woods.

The site itself is well facilitated with toilets & showers, however, the 2 best bits for us was the family shower rooms, (2 showers and changing area which can be locked), the vending shop which is open 24 hours! This has bread, milk, butter, bacon & BBQ stuff and there is a new washing up room with 7 sinks, the laundry has also been updated with 2 pay washing machines and a tumble drier.

We were in the Rally field which is level, free draining (we had a huge downpour), and has some new electric hook up points, fishing on the River Trent was free and 1 minute walk away. As the web site says do come if you want nature, piece and quiet, and don’t come if you expect a swimming pool and all the trimmings. Other good bits are that there is an area for playing ball games, flying kites etc without affecting anyone else.

On arrival we were given a booklet worthy of a 5* hotel telling us everything from the recycling policy, wildlife walks from the site and even the local dentists phone number, nothing seems to be missed! The Ferry Boat inn pub is 5 minutes walk away where the staff were friendly, but the foods very basic, however, the Eyre arms in the next village was outstanding.

We felt it was a modern site, with really friendly staff, that’s good value, with toilets cleaned every few hours, with good old fashioned campsite values, and would without doubt recommend a holiday here. The web site was informative and not “over sold”, and it did exactly what it said on the tin. 5* for us and we have already rebooked.
