Having previously mainly stayed at Parkdean Caravan Parks on the south coast I was unsure what to expect, we were delighted with the caravan we stayed in, much better than previous holidays, so clean and spacious, and a great price. Really felt comfortable and safe, which as a single mum of 11 and 13 year old lads is always my concern, so thank you very much for a perfect holiday.
Even in October for our last stay we found the park to be in superb condition. A great tribute to the hard working park staff which was much appreciated. We look forward to returning.
Thank-you very much for an enjoyable stay. It has been my favourite camping trip. I loved the adult only camp area. Highly recommended to friends.
We very much enjoyed the campsite. The kitchen area for wigwam users was a great touch and made a huge difference to our dining options. All public areas well maintained and clean.
Excellent park, easy to get to, will definitely recommend to friends and family and will return in the future.
We absolutely love this place and will definitely return.
Excellent staff. Very welcoming! They keep a very close eye on all aspects of the park and take immediate action to attend to any problems which arise.
We hired your BBQ hut and what a fab idea it was! Kids loved it, it was a fab little experience.
We love Waren, it is one of our favourite sites. We feel so at home there. It was the first ever site we went to, for our first trip out in our first touring caravan, for our daughter’s second birthday celebrations. It is a tradition now that we go every year for her birthday, and have just done it for the third year running. We love it so much. And long may it continue. Cant wait to try the sister sites, as she gets older. Brilliant site, lovely atmosphere, keep up the good work guys! Thankyou x
Our daughter loves coming to Warren mill and has great fun. The staff are always helpful and friendly and we’ve made lots of great memories and look forward to making lots more soon.
A great find, can’t recommend the park enough to others whether seasoned campers or first timers…
We have travelled all over the UK in our motor home. Waren Mill was one of the first sites we stayed at and has remained our favourite!
