Why stay here ...

CL of the Year Award 2022 - 3rd place

Corner Cottage CL is a peaceful and tranquil site with easy access to both Lincoln and Newark and the surrounding areas. We are less than 3 miles from the main A46 (Lincoln/Newark) and 4.5 miles from the main A1 Newark turn off. Our pitches are tucked away on large 13m lawned grass flat pitches with uninterrupted views across the surrounding fields and countryside. Electric hook up (16 amp) is available to all pitches and there is plenty of space for awnings. Our site is securely fenced in and doggy friendly with several great dog walks directly from the site (off lead in most areas). We are surrounded by a variety of local wildlife including deer, rabbits and hares, a huge variety of birds and squirrels to name but a few. You won't hear any road noise apart from the odd tractor. All pitches enjoy sunshine from morning till sunset (British weather depending of course!!).

There are numerous pubs in the surrounding villages we can recommend which also serve excellent meals for all budgets. The nearest pub serving food and drink is within 0.5 mile walking distance.

Collingham village is 1.5 miles from our CL site and it is a thriving friendly community which offers you easy access to all the usual amenities eg pubs and restaurants, supermarket, cash machine, excellent Fish and Chip shop, very reputable and tasty Chinese restaurant/takeaway (and they deliver!), florist and gift shop, excellent local butcher, post office (including banking facilities), hairdressers, beauty treatment salons and a chemist. Collingham also has a local train station giving really quick and easy access to Lincoln, Newark and Nottingham if you prefer not to drive. Taxis are also available should you need to book one.

Local tourist attractions and activities include:

  • Newark Castle and town centre (8 miles)
  • Newark Showground & Antiques Fair (4.3 miles)
  • Lincoln Cathedral (Uphill Bailgate district 14 miles)
  • Lincoln Christmas Market (14 miles)
  • Lincoln University & town centre (12 miles)
  • Lincolnshire Showground (16 miles)

We have a selection of day to day essentials available to buy in our reception area should you run out, together with local supplies of free range eggs and fresh vegetables as well as locally baked cakes and cooked meals available (subject to availability).

If you are "pushed" for time before you leave home we can offer a pre-order food pack service which will be ready for you to collect on arrival (full details on request).

We are "caravanners" ourselves so we are delighted to have created what we consider to be our perfect CL site where we hope our guests will come and relax and enjoy their stay with us and return time after time.

They Got me out of a sticky situation

Corner Cottage
We were booked onto another CL in Newark but when we got there we found it to be a quagmire and totally not fit to be used, I phoned Andrew and explained the problem I had and to my surprise he had one spare pitch for the four days we wanted , an hour later we turned up only to realise we had been on this site before and it was exactly what we wanted, the whole site is very well drained and hardly looked as though it had been rained on it is perfectly flat we well spaced pitches and is a cut above the rest, its a quiet site with plenty of wildlife to be seen including deers, hares, Egyptian geese, pheasants and more. It's a very pleasant site and well worth a visit

The Loveliest CL

Corner Cottage
We've stayed for two blissful weeks at Corner Cottage and it's one of the loveliest Cl's on the network and definitely deserves more than five stars. Booking was straightforward, fast and really easy via the website which is so much easier than having to call. Communication from the owners is also fantastic, they are genuinely nice people and so accommodating. Entry to the site is very easy from the lane and we found the additional sign they had put up further down the lane very helpful. On arrival the owners were lovely and friendly and showed us where to pitch and where everything was, they are super helpful but completely unintrusive, leaving you to get on and enjoy their beautiful CL. The facilities are fantastic and so well thought out and maintained The pitches are well spaced out and situated on the private lawned field behind the house. Each pitch is separated by a low fence with more than enough room for the caravan, awning, car and also space to enjoy the pitch and surroundings. The views from the field are lovely and the birds and wildlife are varied and great to see including hare, pheasants, woodpeckers, all types of birds. In fact the only noise you will hear is the birds singing as it's so quiet. There is also a brilliant Reception Shed which is a real treasure, inside you will find a tiny but well stocked shop with everything you may have forgotten or might need during your stay, this is such a great idea as there is nothing worse than having to drive out to the nearest village to fetch a tin of beans. There is also a mine of local information to be found in the shed from places to visit to local walking routes, it's all so well thought out and makes your visit to the area even better. The water, bins and loo emptying is fantastic. The bins are sorted into general waste and recycling and the water point has a tap with a short hose for aqua rolls and a longer hose for motorhome filling. The toilet emptying point is honestly one of the best we've ever seen as it's a really easy to use design and super clean with a water hose and sanitiser. All around the site and cottage the gardens and grass are beautifully maintained which makes staying a real pleasure. The immediate countryside is idyllic, the nearest village of South Scarle is beautiful as is the next village of Collingham where there is a large coop supermarket, chemist and post office and its very easy to drive to Newark or Lincoln and further afield, making this a great base for exploring both Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. Overall this really is a lovely well thought out site and a real pleasure to visit and we have enjoyed every minute of being there.

Wonderful well manages and tranquil gem of a site

Corner Cottage
We stayed 4 nights in October.This is a perfect little CL . A well organised immaculately kept lawned garden site. Well defined pitches all have great views. It is a very quiet peaceful location but easy to get to. Easy to book with good website and great info provided by friendly owners. The site is close to attractions & transport. There’s a great pub in Besthorpe which is walkable to & serves good food Wed-Sundays. Nice to have the Shed that serves as an info point with a few essentials should you need them . Fully recommend & will certainly return. Lynne & Ken

Peaceful

Corner Cottage
Have just returned from a 2 night break from this site. Booking was done easily on the website. The site is a large well fenced off lawn/ field ( using the word lawn as the grass was immaculate). Short cut and no clods of grass like you get on some sites. The large pitches are marked out and separated by a small fence, with plenty of space for large caravans. A small shop on site with essentials means you haven't far to go. Whisby nature reserve is a short drive away, with plenty of walks. Would highly recommend this site, and will certainly be back

What a lovely CL, I stayed for 4 nights, very well maintained easy access, no fuss on booking in, an email is sent a couple of days before your visit, explaining the procedure and your pitch number, plus a lot of information about the area so you drive straight on and pitch up, the site is so quite, lots of dog walks from the site
