Truly magical
Our first visit to this wonderful CL will not be our last. The owners, Colette and Ron, are so warm and friendly and they keep the huge field to a very high standard with large pitches, a beautifully warm and well equipped toilet and a large south facing wooden shelter in which you can sit and watch the wildlife and the clouds scudding by, even on a rainy day. There is a lovely track for dog walking straight from the site or you can walk over fields and quiet roads to the local abandoned St Botolph's medieval church which has an interesting history. The marshes at Saltfleet are beautiful and quiet, and Mablethorpe and Donna Nook are also within a short drive. The lovely market town of Louth with its famous cheese shop is also a few miles' drive away and the Greyhound Inn on Upgate has a great range of Gluten Free food - they are also extremely dog friendly! In addition, the beautiful St James' church in Louth is worth a visit and it allows dogs inside too!
The real beauty of this site is in its exposure to the skies - you can see for miles around and the sunsets and sunrises are truly unrivaled. Yes, it is windy, but the owners have planted hedges and trees all around which will offer some shelter in years to come. They also have plans to install more features to attract wildlife in the future which would further increase the appeal of the site. However, because of the site's current exposure to the elements and surrounding countryside, you feel as if you can touch the clouds as they race past, and the views of the geese as they sail overhead in their hundreds are truly breathtaking. We stayed three nights (26 - 29 September 2021, being the very last visitors of the season) but felt as if we had stayed much longer, all thanks to its beauty and its relaxing and friendly nature. This really is a jewel of a site.
Thank you, Colette and Ron, for a wonderful short break, and especially for the concern you showed us over our very old dog, Lucy, during our stay.
