News roundup for Late May Bank Holiday Weekend

A great weekend was had by all this Bank Holiday and the girls in the office have been rushed off their feet since then with people booking up for next year, our visitors were even coming into reception to re-book after their first night with us!

Welcome to the Certificate of Excellence Hall of Fame


Because you’ve earned a Certificate of Excellence every year for the past five years, we’re pleased to announce that Henlow Bridge Lakes has qualified for the Certificate of Excellence Hall of Fame.


 

The free BANGO tractor trailer rides and goat walking proved as popular as ever and we had lots more going on for the kids to keep the holiday as family friendly as possible including the famous Kids Disco at the Roundel with Alan and this weekends guest... Spiderman.

As you know we always welcome well behaved dogs on our campsite, but they must be on leads or tethered at all times, but there are plenty of places off site where they can be let off to have a run. Regulars, Matt and Jason were out enjoying the beautiful countryside and rivers around the campsite this weekend with their dogs, Harvey (brown) and Dexter and Matt sent us a few pictures.
