10 Night Stay

Just returned from a 10 night stay.This was a last minute booking due to truck blowing up on way to Blackpool. We booked the site not knowing anything about it so were very apprehensive as to what awaited us.We need not of worried as it was a fantastic site with a very warm welcome from Sally & Neil on our arrival Neil even helped us set up as we are very new to this caravanning lark.The showers and toilet areas were very clean no matter what time of day you went to them.They made us very welcome and even allowed me to try and teach my 8 year old how to fish on one of their 2 lakes which seemed to be very well stocked with a variety of fish. I would have no problems in recommending this site to anyone it was a great 10 night stay and we will return at some point. Sally & Neil and the rest of the staff are very helpful and nothing seems to be to much trouble for them. In summary I would say this site is big enough to cope and small enough to care. Thank you Sally,Neil & all the staff. Brilliant site.

weekend break

Just had a fantastic weekend at this site,my sister in law and her family joined us. Toilet block is spotless far superior to your normal caravan club sites. Very popular with those who can fish,not me but our springer had a go! We booked it independantly not realising it was a CL site but we know for next time. Remember your 50p for the showers.

Long weekend break

We went to the laurels for a long weekend break. We were made very welcome by Sally and Neil and other staff. The site is spotlessly clean and the pitches and surrounding grass is kept short and tidy. The shower block is also spotlessly clean and very modern. There are 2 fishing lakes on site, I'm not a fisherman however while I were there a fishing match was taking place. The price is reasonable and Sally and Neil are very helpful. I'm returning in a few weeks and have already recommended the site and friends have booked. Really looking forward to going back. Only downside I see is no playback for kids but maybe this will be in their future plans.

Will be a super site

We booked very late notice to extend holiday. We were welcomed on site and had help to pitch. A delightful 3 nights. I am unsure as to how long this site can be classed as a CL due to the 35 Hardstandings going in soon! Even the first small area had more than 5 with some units looking like they were seasonal. However, aside from CL politics! This really will be a super site when complete. Excellent space for dog walks. All new pitches look as if they will be serviced. 2 well stocked fishing lakes on site. The owners are lovely and really helpful. We certainly hope to return.

2013 summer holiday

We try to book sites with minimum of 0.75 acres as we have a large dog and we want him out of the way so not to bother other users. Having 9 pitches in the 0.75 acres instead of the 5 allowed under a CL licence reduces the pitch size somewhat. Fortunately when we arrived there were only two other vans on site, both awaiting the arrival of owners a few days hence. We were offered a 'private' all grass pitch at the end of the site which was perfect for us. The book offered laundry facilities, but turned out these were for the use of guests to the rental cottages, but as we were staying 10 nights the owners kindly agreed to the use of for a donation to kids pocket money. When the weekend arrived, site soon filled up to capacity, ie 9 vans. The weather was extremely hot and inevitably brought out the party goers. At first we thought it was some of the new arrivals, but turned out to be owners throwing a pool party which went on beyond midnight. I would not have liked to have been on one of the main pitches. The chickens were a problem as at one stage we had about six of them pestering the dog, which kept us on our toes as he would kill and eat, given the chance. The wiff mentioned below comes from the dyke surrounding the site, these are prevalent all around Lincolnshire. There is another toilet/shower under development, and as the site is being marketed as a Touring Park, doubt it will be a licensed as a CL for much longer. If you're happy with a small commercial site, then this could be for you as there was a warm welcome and close to all the attractions. Site is very well maintained, with 5 excellent hard standing pitches. However, if you're looking for the tranquility of a CL then there are other CLs in the area which may suit better.

one last point, site is only 3.1 miles from the A158 junction, not the 4 mentioned in the directions

Description could be better

Hi, when we visited here there was 9 caravans and 33 people on this 5 van site including an extending family of 8 people. Yes it was a bank holiday but its a CL so a 5 van site. There is chickens roaming the site so some pooing on pitches one had got into our front locker. The description states showers there is not there is a wetroom toilet, shower and loo no heating in there. On there own website it states each pitch has its own electric and water But it doesnt it just has electric and waterpoint in middle of CL. The owners had a old Alsatian guard dog on a chain if he's still there that does bark suppose does his job. We got a wiff everyday of sewage we was on the far right hard standing pitch. This maybe because the site has like a dam/moat behind the hedge that surrounds the CL. The shower is 50p each so if there's 4 of you that's another £2.00 on your daily rate just remember this when booking. Prices are £12 just for van and electric, then £2.00 for your awning there's £14.00 a night , then 50p young child up to 12 and £1.00 over 12 then your shower money per day. So a family of 4 with awning 2 young kids including showers could be £16.00 including your own showers. Don't get me wrong it's a pretty site with nice views and good pitches but it could be better by sticking to the 5 van rule, stating roaming chickens, 1 wetroom with a 50p charge per shower.
