Why stay here ...
We have a level grass site in the heart of the countryside. Only one and a half miles away is the village of Metheringham that boasts several pubs, restaurants and takeaways. There is also a coop with a cash dispenser if needed. The walk is a mile from the top of the farm track, a very relaxing 25 minutes into the centre. We also provide some hardstanding.
If getting away from it all with peace and quiet is what you are looking for, then this is the place to visit. We have an abundance of wildlife - stoats, foxes, hares and other mammals are often seen. It is an Ornithologist's heaven! We have little owls, barn owls and tawny owls on the site. The scenery is a delight to paint and because we are on the fenside, the sunsets and sunrises are stunning! We also have a beautiful planted garden and lovely trees on the site. We have absolutely no light pollution so it is a stargazers delight and shooting stars, satellites and comets trails are a regular occurrence.
We are away from busy roads and traffic fumes. There are many walks leading from the site and cycle routes as well. Dogs are allowed on leads (we have sheep and game cover in the fields nearby) and again good long walks for dog owners.
Private bookings are available in advance for the outdoor heated swimming pool situated in the village.
There is a bramble hedge along the side of the field covered with butterflies such as comma, red admirals, peacocks, small tortoiseshell, painted lady etc. We also provide a flush toilet with basin and cold water only and drinking water. We have a chemical toilet disposal point and five electric hook ups. Nearby we have fishing lakes and golf courses and horse riding.
The local area promotes a 1940s weekend in Woodhall Spa just a 15 minute drive away, and the market town of Horncastle has an abundance of antique centres. We also open for the Lincoln Christmas Market - full of wonderful atmosphere.
Lincolnshire is famous for the Dam Busters and the Lancaster bomber and there are museums close by promoting this. The Bomber command memorial centre is a must see. Slightly further away is the seaside town of Skegness with miles of sandy beaches.
A train station in the village provides free parking and takes only twelve minutes into the historic city centre of Lincoln. There are museums, the cathedral, castle and bail gate area. There is a regular bus route from the village centre.
Lincolnshire is a wonderful county with plenty to see and do. Come and visit us soon.

Perfect stay at Barff farm fenside , our first trip with a new caravan. Ideal start.
Barff Farm Fenside
We went to Barff Farm Fenside in Early April , for our first trip out as caravaners , with our new , to us , Swift Basecamp II . What a perfect location it was , very tranquil and beautiful countryside. Easy to find and get to and our pitch was a lovely level hard standing. Michelle had been very accommodating before , as we’d had to rearrange our stay twice , due to ill health . On our arrival we met her mum Sheila who showed us the site etc and was super friendly . Val later found out they were passionate quilters and felters too , so she popped in to look at their works . We came here as it’s so convenient for Lincoln , which we wanted to visit. What a fabulous city it is and the cathedral was stunning.
We shall certainly come back here for another stay and can’t recommend it highly enough.
A great start to our holiday
Barff Farm Fenside
We recently stayed for 2 nights at the start of our 6 week tour of the UK . We received a very friendly welcome on arrival and was made to feel comfortable straight away . This was our first experience of staying in a CL and we were very impressed, so hopefully this will be the start of many more to come . As previous reviews have stated,this is a beautiful site being well maintained in peaceful surroundings. So all in all a fantastic start to our holiday .
Perfect!
Barff Farm Fenside
Peaceful, lovely shrubs and flowers to enjoy, neatly mown grass and good dog walks. Everything you could wish for on a holiday - even the sun was shining.
Barrier Reef fish and chip shop served the best we've had, The Lincolnshire Poacher was good for evening meal (booking necessary) and Huttoft beach is worth the trip.
Looking forward to a return trip next year, Isla's hoping Hilda will remember her...
Lovely Site
Barff Farm Fenside
We recently stayed at Barff Farm Fenside for four nights. Michelle and Gary were welcoming and very helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The site is down a long drive but don’t let this put you off, it is well worth it! The well maintained grass meadow is flat in lovely surroundings with attractive gardens, scrubs, trees and banks of beautiful flowers. If you enjoy peace and quiet in the open country, dog friendly, this is the site for you.

Outstanding Tranquility
Barff Farm Fenside
First stayed here whilst moving daughter into new house, and found this beautiful quiet location, which was perfect to return to after a hectic day.
Just the perfect location and even our Labrador didn’t want to leave.
Will certainly be visiting again in the future
