Why stay here ...
Poplar Farm CL is located on the banks of a beautiful chalk stream - the River Bain. It's a half acre, south facing site which offers 5 level grass pitches, all with 10amp electric hook ups and very close proximity to fresh drinking water.
There is ample room for awnings, and extra cars if needed - at no extra cost. Well behaved dogs are also welcome, again at no extra cost.
Our location is perfect for visiting the local area. The site is just a few minutes' drive from the A153. The A153 is the main road that leads to the historic market town of Horncastle "Antiques capital of the UK" or head south to Coningsby, the home of the Battle of Britain memorial flight, - maybe visit Tattershall Castle, a 15th century red brick castle with superb views across the Lincolnshire landscape. Both Horncastle and Coningsby are just 10 minutes away by car.
If you prefer to walk or cycle, you are well catered for here. There are a number of footpaths leading directly from the site along the river, either into the village of Kirkby on Bain (which has a cosy pub serving real ales and award winning food) a 10 minute walk, or head North to Haltham lock then Roughton village - Making an ideal circular walk of approximately 3 miles.
Why not Cycle the beautiful lanes to the inland resort of Woodhall Spa (3.5 miles) for a coffee, or to sample something delicious from one of the many cafes/restaurants. Maybe stop and visit one of the many nature reserves in the area and catch a glimpse of a Fox, Muntjac deer or even a White Admiral Butterfly.
Perhaps you're just happy to stay on site; fish for Chub or Trout, or sit and relax and listen for the Kingfishers flying by.
Whatever you like to do on holiday, I'm sure Poplar farm CL and the surrounding area will deliver.
Fiona and Bryan look forward to meeting you soon.

fab site
Poplar Farm (Farmitage Holidays)
This is a great site,can not understand the negative earlier reveiw. ok, it is on a junction which is used infrequently by tractors and wagons but i would never say this is intrusive. Many cl sires have a plethora of signs; no ball games, dogs on leads etc etc .But thoughtless dog owners are at fault and a quick phone call to the owners soon rectifies any problems.
The positives of this site are great hosts, great dog walks, bike riding on very quiet lanes.Pub down the road and a very restful site. all cl owners work very hard to make our stays 100% perfect and really for very little income.

A little disappointing
Poplar Farm (Farmitage Holidays)
Just stayed at Poplar Farm for 2 weeks. First impressions were of a compact, well-maintained site with nice riverside walks and plenty of wildlife. However, on the first night, as the site is on the corner of a T junction, we became aware of heavy traffic noise from the other side of the hedge, starting at 6.00 a.m. (Lorries from a local quarry and tractors travelling to and from the local farm.) Also, as it was a warm night and we had the windows open, this made the noise more noticeable.
Another point is that the site could do with a "dogs on lead" ruling as we had to watch dogs from neighbouring vans running loose, even trying to come into our awning and disturbing our well behaved German Shepherd. (Not the fault of the site owners but there seems to be an increasing number of caravanners who don't watch their dogs. Our previous outing with the van, the next van had 5 small dogs running loose!)
Finally, in 30+ years of caravanning, I've never been 'hustled off' a pitch by the owner sat waiting on his mower, to cut the grass, when we were 10 mins. late vacating the pitch, after the 'check out' time.

Perfectly Placed Poplar Farm
Poplar Farm (Farmitage Holidays)
A warm welcome awaits vistors at this lovely site. Easy to find and access off a quite B road just outside the village of Kirkby on Bain. With easy access to the Spa village of Woodhall. The site backs onto River Bain which can be accessed by a small path. An old telephone box on the site has novels to borrow and useful information relevant to the surrounding area. We loved our stay and look forword to returning soon.
Relaxing weekend
Poplar Farm (Farmitage Holidays)
Had a very pleasant weekend at Poplar Farm. We received a very warm welcome on arrival. Site had 5 vans on and still plenty of space. Good covered service area with bins for recycling.Lovely red phone box contains books to borrow and leaflets of places to visit. There is a good pub a short walk away. It is about 4 miles into Woodhall Spa with lots to see there.
There is also a log cabin and a cottage that can be hired, both sleep 2 which is handy for accompanying relatives.
We are booked to return soon
Kingfisher Heaven
Poplar Farm (Farmitage Holidays)
We stayed at Poplar Farm for two nights on our way down to Suffolk from Yorkshire. The site was easy to find and access and we were fortunate to pitch adjacent to the River Bain. The site was peaceful with some road noise and there are many places of interest to visit in the area - as listed in other reviews. Booking the site was easy and we were warmly welcomed by Fiona.
The unique feature of this site is the abundance of wildlife in and around the river Bain. There is a gate providing access to a small area next to the river - a perfect spot for seeing the numerous trout and bird life. I saw a water vole in the distance - the first sighting in over thirty years. However, the thing that made this site particularly special was the flash of iridescent blue from a kingfisher as it flew along the length of the river. I was so impressed that I decided to book the site again for our return from Suffolk. This time I managed to spend a couple of hours sitting on the wooden seat alongside the river bank and it wasn’t long before I spotted a kingfisher. In all, I had five sightings which makes Poplar Farm a must visit site for anyone with an interest in the natural environment. Perfect, and highly recommended. I even saw a Spitfire fly over on it’s way back to RAF Coningsby and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
