Guest Comments
Got a late booking for the bank holiday weekend and we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived on the friday tea time to see how good the facilities were. The staff couldn't have been more helpful on check in and helped me position the caravan.
The park for the kids was the best I've seen and with plenty of young families they were entertained all weekend. Showers were great, toilets very clean !
All in all we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. We left early on the monday and the wardens even hitched the caravan on for me.

Absolutely wonderful site! Beautifully kept with a personal touch, the warden led us to our pitch, the grass was immaculate and perfectly level.
Really pretty lake and woodland walks. The local area was fantastic, in 2 days we managed to visit York, Whitby, Scarborough and Eden Camp. (well worth a vist - fantastic!)
The childrens play area was great and the little shop was well equipped. The only down side were the toilets and showers, they were spotlessly clean but a little old fashioned. The site had a lovely comfortable feel to it, it was a wonderful weekend and we will definitely return to Goosewood. The Rose and Crown Pub restaurant a few miles away was exquisite and the Geese on the field behind our caravan were lovely! Highly recommended!

The setting of this site is great. Very helpful staff on arrival. Large independant gravelled hardstanding for each van with plentifull space for van, full awning and car.
Our space overlooked the lake and the very spacious playing field for the kids. There are lots of wood chalets some of which have outside hot tubs which surround the lake. The toilet blocks are cleaned at least twice daily.
We had three totally different days. The first was very windy, the second day we had six inches of snow and the third was absolutely beautiful. Regardless each one was as enjoyable as the other. Fishing allowed on the lake at a cost. There is a private family leisure room which has a small swimming pool, sauna, gym and outdoor hot tub for £15 for a family of four for 45 minutes. The Ponderosa has food and entertainment and is only a 15 minute walk away or they do offer a free taxi service to this bar. We will definitely go back to this site in the summer (if we can get on it) as we think this site deserves another visit just for the scenery alone. Never knew there were places like this so close to home.

Excellent site that offers relaxation and pampering. Most of the units there seemed to be seasonal and I can understand why some would be happy just to return here without touring around. We were pitched at the lower end of the site and that made for a wonderful view over the lake and ducks visiting for some bread. A lot a keen fishermen seemed to stay here, so I took this to mean the lake was kept well stocked, (if you're into that sort of thing.) It seemed all the pitches were hard standing but the ground looked to be very well drained. Because of where we were pitched it was quite a walk back up to the toilet block and showers that were situated near the entrance. These were kept to a very high standard and the water was nice and warm. The on-site shop was nicely stocked and you can order your daily papers. While we were there we HAD to try the 'health suite' and it would be such a waste to miss this. I went in with my 2 daughters, (15 and 10,) and we loved it! A small'ish pool, (about 15 foot,) with jacuzzi at one end and jets at the other so you can swim into the current as long as you want. A sauna and some work-out machinery. But the best for me was an outside hot tub. When I got in there I just didn't want to get out! All this for £10 for 45 mins - you can't go wrong. A really big bonus is its so private when you get in, although the hot tub is outside its positioned high with fencing so don't worry about anyone having a peek. Hubby didn't fancy trying it until he saw it.He can't wait to go back now! Its worth staying just to use it!
The park and ride was a good 10-15 min drive away so I wouldn't call it handy, but its there if you need it.
We went to the Rose and Crown pub in Sutton on the Forest and it was lovely, bit pricy, but worth it.
The site is open all year and I can see us 'nipping' back for the odd weekend over winter to enjoy what this place has to offer. Trust me, you'll love it!

We have been going to Goosewood every Easter for the last 5 years. Its a great spot especially if one of you is not on holiday and has to go back to work.
The site is very clean and staff are very helpful and friendly we book as we are leaving so we don't forget to book for the following year

Love it, Love it, Love it even in the wettest July, we woke one morning to find the awning flooded and the caravan surronded by a duck pond (which our daughter loved and spent many an hour feeding them loaves of bread) it was not the site's fault it was just the amount of rain that fell, though the staff did ask us if we wanted to move. What a great site, excellant playing area for the kids, very clean and well kept, staff friendly and helpful. Well worth paying £10 and using the leisure facilities, in close distance to the park and ride, we will deffo be back.

Spent 3 nights here in the August bank holiday and was very impressed.
On arrival we were told where all the shops and takeaways etc were then shown to our pitch which was on grass but very level. Very clean and and with very nice surroundings.
The park for the kids was excellent, too good, they kept running there all the time, but only 4 and 2 so had to follow.
Toilets could do with a revamp, but were OK, better than a lot I have used in the past.
There is a Leisure suite you can hire for your own use for 45mins for £10. Which included a small swimming pool, sauna, gym and outdoor hot tub. Which we used every day and was well worth it, wife wants to buy a hot tub now. (not going to happen).
Overall would highly recommend and will probably go back ourselves next year. 9/10.
