DONT BE SEDUCED BY TITLE WINNERS NEARBY

This CL may suffer from its proximity to CL of the year Greetham Lodge? BUT in our opinion deserves everyone of the " 5 ticks?". We stayed for 3 nights at the begining of December and received a very warm and informative welcome from the owners. Some of the pitches have been extended but all are hardstanding, spacious and afford really great views across fields towards the Wolds. The site was exceptionally well maintained and the small shower/ toilet block was spotless and was actually heated. Not some small 3 watt heater but heating that actually warmed the rooms. An excellent information room and very easy access. The cherry on the cake was that this site was within walking distance of a very good old pub with stacks of characater and steeped in history, for those of you who like Alfred Lord Tennyson ( Greetham cant do that?) If I had to be pedantic then the access road in front of the pitches is a tad narrow to allow comfortable manoeuvring, but a very very small negative point for a first class CL.The walks from the site and in the area are outstanding, the Viking Way is nearby. Give it a try you will not be disappointed.

Successful first trip

We picked this site for our first ever caravan excursion based on it's excellent reviews and can only agree with the many positive comments already made. We only stayed a couple of days as a learning trip (which it was !) but really enjoyed the site and surrounding area. As complete newbies to the caravan game our main concern is that we have now set the bar pretty high for future comparisons ! Thanks to Diane and Tim for an excellent first experience.

Very Very Nice

We stayed at this site for a four day period although we would have stayed longer but for a lack of availability, its very popular. Facilities are good and surroundings even better being in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The local pub (The Cross Keys) is a short walk away and well worth a visit with interesting décor some would say unique, the licensees very friendly and very dog supportive, food excellent fish and chips out of this world. Anyway back to Grange Farm, Tim and DIane were attentive but not overly, they were there if you needed them for advice etc. Grange Farm is popular and rightly so, so in order to get in some booking in advance may be required, this would not suit all caravaners. Would I return-yes but I may get fed up if I couldn't get in straight away.

Lovely site

Just returned from Grange farm after spending 5 nights there. Very nice site, just wish that the hardstandings would take your awning as well as your van,(just our preference) but this takes nothing way from the site. The toilets and showers looked to be very clean, we did not use them we always use our own. Tim and Diane keep this site immaculate. This is a site that i would recommend.

Lovely site in a beautiful location

Just returned from a 4 day break at Grange Farm, well what can I say it was perfect, what a find. We only live an hour away but it was a complete break from everyday life. The owners Tim and Diane were very friendly and helpful, the shower and toilets were spotless. The information room was most helpful containing lots of local information including many walks in the Lincolnshire Wolds, also provided was a selection books and DVD's you could loan. The site was so peaceful and set in a beautiful setting with lovely views. There was a field close by to let the dogs off the lead, and lots of nice walks from the site. There are two dog friendly pubs within walking distance and the coast is only a 30 minute drive away. I would recommend Moggs Eye beach for walking dogs. Fish and chip van visits the village on a Monday teatime which were rather good. All in all a great find, a perfect gem of a site, we hope to return soon and for longer next time, thank you Tim and Diane your site is a credit to you.

Puts a lot of caravan sites to shame, let alone CLs

We visited this site for the first time at the end of May 2013 for 3 days and were extremely impressed; a strong candidate for CL of the year. Tim and Diane went out of their way to ensure we settled in and answered any queries we had during our stay.The pitches were all hardstanding and constructed to a high standard and spaciously laid out with grass to the sides. The toilet and showers were always immaculate and there was also an indoor dishwashing area and laundry. The field next to the site has a mown path all the way round, providing an excellent walk for our old dog and linking with a public footpath which leads into the local village of Tetford where there are 2 pubs and a tea room. The highlight of each day was watching the local Barn Owl swoop across the field in front of the pitches, usually around 5.30pm.

7 day stay

Just had 7 wonderful days at this CL. We have visited this site numerous times and this is the best CL site we have ever stayed on, and we have been caravaning for 30 years. The welcome you receive from the owners Tim & Diane is warm and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble for them. There is a "welcome Board" on your arrival stating your Pitch No. Access is excellent and first impressions is that the site is pristine with well cared for grounds and the views are outstanding. Amenities block is always spotless whatever time of day you visit, with plenty of hot water. Well stocked information room with maps of the area, places to visit, walking routes and places to eat. Opportunity to buy local produce when available. Very reasonable price for the washing machine etc. The 5 very spacious hard standing pitches are immaculately kept by Tim. (owner, - not warden) !!!! Well stocked fishing lake. 3 x 4 star gold self catering cottages if you wish to visit with family. Lovely walks for dogs. This site is in the lovely area of the Lincolnshire Wolds an AONB but also within easy reach of the coast with wonderful beaches. Overall a credit to Tim & Diane who will go out of there way to make your stay a most memorable one. You will definitely return. !!!!!

2 day break

arrived on saturday to the warm welcome on the entrance board fantastic views and very friendly wardens. unfortunately the weather was not too good shame we could not get on the pitch till 12:30 as the rain soon arrived thereafter. Went for a short walk around the village and yes two local pubs which you can walk too but very disappointed with the cleanliness and decor in both!!!! Lovely lakes and lots of information available on site pity there was no map on the immediate area - walked completly in the wrong direction to the shop when we could have taken a short cut- down to the lake over the bridge and follow the footpath into the village turn left and follow road - would not have been so bad but it was pouring with rain!!! Sampled the homemade marmalade very very good!!!

A lovely little site

A well kept site with immaculately clean facilities. Even though the weekend we stayed was cold and wet the facilities were lovely and warm, with an additional warm ait heater on the wall in the shower room. Awasher and tumble dryer is available for longer stays. Also in the laundry room is a very well stocked and up o date information area. More professionally presented than a lot of tourist information centres we've seen. The hardstanding pitches stand high on the field with lovely views. A welcome board directed us to our pitch and the owners ( and their dogs!) were friendly and welcoming. Big site facilities with small site tranquility. If I was going to be really nit picky the on,y slight negative was having to park our car in front of the caravan window obscuring he lovely view somewhat, as the hardstanding pitches will not accomodate a car alongside a caravan. We'll definitely be back!

Barn Owls and beautiful views

This was our first visit to the Lincolnshire Wolds and Grange Farm. Having read the various reviews regarding the excellence of this CL our expectations were high and we were not disappointed. On arrival we were greeted with a Welcome board directing us to our pitch. The area surrounding the pitches is immaculate with well-kept grass areas and lovely sheltering hedges around the whole of the site. The passion Tim and Diane have for this venture is clear to see with everything they do. They walked past the pitches each afternoon to ensure that all was well and were very helpful with local knowledge. There is a good space between each of the pitches and the waste disposal, recycling and water point are clean, accessible and well lit at night. The ladies and gents toilets and the shower were always immaculate and warm with additional heating if required. We did not use the facility but in a building behind the shower block was a combined laundry area complete with washing machine, tumble dryer together with shelves holding videos, books and games. The real delight for those who do not know the area was the tourist section. This was very professionally set out with a whole series of walks over the Wolds area some of which could be taken directly from the site and leaflets on many different aspects of the culture and history of the area. It is not an exaggeration to say that some Tourist Offices we have visited would be put to shame! There are two pubs in Tetford as well as a general shop and tea room. We did not have time to try these out but did have a really good meal at the Blue Bell Inn in nearby Belchford. This was picked from the Good Pub Guide and not only is the food excellent with friendly attentive staff but the range of beers on offer was of a high standard – quite the nicest pint of Black Sheep outside Yorkshire. We had not realised how much this part of the country has to offer and we will be back as quickly as we can to spend more time visiting the surrounding countryside and enjoying waking up each morning at Grange Farm. The Barn Owl in the title spent many an evening quartering the ground immediately in front of our caravan and we are also told that there is every opportunity of seeing kingfishers around the two beautiful lakes on the other side of the hedge from the site.
