We have just returned from our first visit to Darwood House Farm, having stayed there for a week and what a wonderful, peaceful site it is. When we arrived on the Friday it was raining quite heavily but this did not prevent us getting a warm welcome from our host, who still went out of his way to show us to our pitch and relay all the necessary information to us regarding site facilities, nearby facilities and interesting local walks etc. Just as a point of note the site is an immaculately kept grass sight, but it is also extremely well draining and coped easily with the heavy rainfall we had over our first couple of days stay. The pitches are spacious fairly level with fantastic country side views, the perfect spot to just sit and relax. There is an abundance of wonderful wildlife to watch - hares, pheasants, but best of all there is a resident barn owl which can be seen most morning's and evening's hunting over the adjacent meadow. The village of Woodall Spa is around 21/2 to 3 miles away (5 minute drive) and well worth a visit with a good variety of local shops, bars cafes and ample car parking. If you feel up to it Woodall Spa is also within easy walking distance from the site and the local roads are fairly quite, or you could do as we did and follow our host's suggestion and park at a purpose made lay-by on Sandy Lane and walk along the Viking trail, through the golf course into Woodall Spa which is a lovely wooded walk of about 2 miles. The East coast is within easy reach with Skeggy, Mablethorpe, Chappell St Leonards' and Ingoldmells within 45/ 55 minutes of the site. With Covid-19 restrictions still being in place we were aware that the toilets and showers would be closed and this wasn't a problem for us as we used our onboard facilities. As I said at the begging of this review this was our first visit to the site, but it's certainly not our last and I'm sure if you decide to spend some time here you will not be disappointed.
