Why stay here ...
We are situated in the middle of a quiet rural village away from the main road on the edge of the Wolds.
Our site is quiet and sheltered, not overlooked, set on the site of a redundant farmyard so we have plenty of space. All well-behaved caravanners and their pets are welcome. There is a 5 acre field for you to stretch your legs or exercise your dog. We have 3 chickens in the field, each with their own character but they are fenced in with a small patch of grass. Sometimes we have visitors in the field, kestrels, the occasional barn owl, munjac and hopefully no foxes.
The site has a flat grass surface with some hardcore base, which aids the sites' drainage. Each pitch has its own electric hook up (16 amps). The electric is metered with 10 units allocated per day and any extra charged at cost. There is one hard standing pitch on the car park also with electric hook up. Pitch 1 has a rubber membrane in the grass suitable for hard standing. There is plenty of room for awnings (groundsheets max 1 week down) and parking your vehicle. We have a shower room (no charge) with a basin and toilet. There is also a separate toilet. There are laundry facilities and dryer at a small charge. In the separate toilet we have a selection of leaflets and information on local restaurants. A book swap operates.
The nearest shop (Co-op) and restaurant and pub are situated 1.5 miles away at the Grimoldby/Manby crossroads. The site is centrally located for touring the Wolds countryside, the local market towns of Louth, Horncastle, Alford and Market Rasen, also for visiting the seaside towns of Sutton-on-Sea, Mablethorpe, Cleethorpes and Skegness. There are quieter beaches at Theddlethorpe, Huttoft Bank and Donna Nook where the seal colony have their pups in October, November and December. You can walk for miles and never meet a soul. Rimac is the nearest nature reserve.
Garden produce is sometimes available.
TV reception is good.
We have a CCTV system, which monitors the entrance to the site offering extra security to our guests.
From the site there are pleasant walks around our village. Some lead to the church and 1.5 miles away is a quiet walk to two nodding donkeys. Carry on along the bridle way and then by the Louth canal to reach the town of Louth about 4 miles. Some of our visitors walk in and taxi back.
The area close by is flat and reasonably quiet for cycling.
We are not suitable for group bookings as we like to keep the site quiet. Fishing is available 3 miles away at Alvingham fisheries, which has carp, rudd, roach and bream.
Free Wi-fi is available.
As we live on site we are always available should you need us.
We look forward to meeting you. Richard and Judith.

Exactly how a CL should be......
West View
This is what we want from a CL isn't it?
In a quiet village, and beautifully tended by its welcoming and helpful owners, is this lovely 5-unit site.
The pitches are large, and there are views over the sizeable dog walking field.
West View is well situated for many of the Region's attractions, as well as being near the bustling market town of Louth.
Throw in the WC and shower facilities, not to mention the very fair pricing, and there you have it.
Highly recommended.
Fabulous couple running an excellent CL

Don’t know where to begin! Roger and Judith are nothing less than stars. From the moment we arrived they were so friendly and helpful with information about the area. They then went far and beyond when I was taken seriously ill, taking me to the local hospital rather than awaiting an ambulance or taxi - the time saved could well have preserved my life. They then looked after my wife during the 5 nights I was detained at Grimsby hospital and allowed us to extend our booking by 8 nights until we could be repatriated by friends and family, because neither of us could drive.
The CL is in a very good location for walking and cycling and is not very far from Louth and the sea. Nice level walk into town along the old canal towpath. Louth is great, lots of pubs and cafes, an historic abbey, and a tri-weekly market. Horncastle and Alford are lovely old towns too, not a long distance away.
The only downside we encountered (and it seems churlish to mention it) is the lack of a regular bus service - a solitary return trip to Louth every Wednesday!
A well tended, well drained, and level field with adequate EHU provision. Power is metered but 10kwh are included in the nightly fee and we found that more than adequate.
Lovely Site
West View
We really dropped lucky choosing this little site, we wanted a site in a good Cycling area and it ticks all the boxes. We were met with a warm welcome with toilets, shower and emptying pointed out. This is a very well kept site (I'd go as far as to say immaculate) that is level with short grass which is collected when cut so no grass walked into caravan. Directions and roads to the site are good and suitable for large caravans. There are plenty of good quiet Cycling roads from site and footpaths.

Lovely site.
West View
We had a lovely 10 night stay her in June in our 50 year old vintage caravan who we have named Hector. Really well kept site with nice clean toilets and shower. We were on pitch 4 which is next to the vegetable plot and the chickens.
Great site. Great hosts.
We will definitely be back.
Perfect choice
West View
We came here because of amended plans and so glad we did. So good we came back the following week for another six night stay. Perfect hosts and a perfect site. So quiet, relaxed and chilled throughout the whole stay. Lots of nearby beaches for our dog to enjoy. Even offered the opportunity to chill out in a cottage during the ridiculous hot spell. Loved it !!!
