Overall, my stay at the park was quite variable. On the plus side, the scenic views and the cleanliness of the accommodation really stood out. Additionally, the friendly staff made us feel welcome upon arrival. However, the dining options were limited in the restaurant, and we faced several inconveniences such as water issues during our stay. It definitely had its highs and lows!

We had an amazing time at Springhouse Country Park, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and the wealth of wildlife. The Swanley Lodge we stayed in was spacious and modern, perfect for our family holiday. While the outdoor area was fantastic, we did face some issues with the bar's limited hours and unpleasant odors from nearby facilities. Overall, it was a great break despite a few hiccups.

The outdoor area was fantastic with BBQ and a wood-fired hot tub, but the proximity to the waste disposal area was a real downside.

I just returned from a pleasant 3-night getaway in a serene part of Northumberland. The place is peaceful and clean, away from the hustle and bustle. Our pet-friendly caravan was surprisingly fresh, and the kids loved the park. However, we faced a few minor issues like not enough towels and limited facilities due to the weather, but overall, it was a lovely and quiet stay. Just be prepared for some challenges with Wi-Fi and mobile signal.

The site had minimal facilities, which contributed to the quiet atmosphere, but it would have been better if the lounge was open.

We had a wonderful stay at Springhouse Country Park in the Swanley Lodge. The lodge was spacious, modern, and spotlessly clean, with a beautiful outdoor area that included a hot tub. The staff and other guests created such a friendly atmosphere. However, the Wi-Fi connection wasn't very reliable and we faced a minor annoyance with the kitchen bin not having a lid. Overall, this park is a hidden gem for relaxation and family fun!

I had a brilliant stay in EG6 (Swanley lodge). The whole park was incredibly quiet and peaceful, which made for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub was a highlight, providing perfect evenings spent stargazing. The wildlife around the park added to the beauty of the location, and I truly appreciated the effort of the friendly staff. However, it would have been nice to have a few more amenities to explore within the park itself.
