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
