Just amazing

In 35 years of using many dozens of CLs across the UK we can honestly say this is the best kept one we have ever been on. The lawned grass with immaculate flower beds was really too good to drive on to pitch the caravan. The under cover facilities were of an exceptionally high standard and everywhere on the site was perfectly maintained. There were not just spacious caravan pitches but an unbelievable relaxation area down at the end set around a large doughnut shaped pond with a bridge over into its centre. Along side this was a shepherds hut with books, games and DVDs, plus a gorgeous summer house where we had our morning coffee each day and a further sheltered relaxation area dressed as an old railway waiting room. We received a very warm welcome from Sarah and Andy for whom nothing was too much trouble. Simply delightful.

THIRD VIST ONLY GETTING BETTER

Hello I would like to recommend this site to all who want a quiet peaceful stay it is are third vist all the way from Derbyshire the site only gets better every time we come new garden beds trees and this time a summer house for guests and a fountain. All the time we were there owners had time to chat and have a laugh. The site is central for coast or aircraft sporting. Wild life spotted on site this time was bird of prey eating on driftwood garden sculpture. The site needs to be tryed to believe it better than any main club site large spacous pitches and immaculate grounds

August escapism

Our first visit to this delightful site and it will certainly not be the last, the owners have given careful consideration to designing and creating this cl. The shepherd's hut provided information on the local area, a book library and a varied dvd collection to borrow. The sun shelter complete with dining table/bench & chairs was a convivial space for eating an evening meal or enjoying a nightcap. The family are welcoming hosts and clearly want visitors to enjoy their stay. We have it on good authority from other caravanners that the hen eggs are delicious. A pleasant walk around the village taking in a stop at Firsby Fudge is also recommended. We look forward to a return visit in the future.

Top CL Site

We have just returned from the Old Wheelwrights Retreat and would say without hesitation, this is the best CL we have been to. Massive closely mown field with landscaping and various interesting features including some hens at the bottom of the field and a pond with lots of fish. The servicing point is all under cover too. Our little dog Daisy absolutely loved the grass to run around on (on her lead). The pictures on the page here are exactly as it is, plus the owners Sarah and Andrew are lovely people, very friendly with lots of local knowledge. We would recommend Tattershall Castle, Gunby Hall and Baumber Walled Garden to visit. For plane spotters RAF Conningsby is also nearby, next to Tattershall and train spotters can see regular trains over the hedge at the bottom of the site, they toot their horns to let you know, plus they don’t run at night. Top class!

Wow - just wow !

We can honestly say this is the best CL site we have stayed on - and we have been to a fair few ! Set in a huge perfectly manicured garden, a beautiful pond area with decking and shelter to sit and relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the peace and quiet. A shepherd's hut with an array of items to borrow - dvd's, games, books etc. and a summer house where you can also sit to chat or listen to the radio and admire the beautiful garden view whick is lit up at night with twinkling solar lights. All the disposal facilities are sparkling clean and it is clearly obvious the owners take the upmost pride in keeping everything immaculate. Nearby are several places worth a visit and we even took our motorhome into Skegness where there is parking right near the front for the sole use of coaches and motorhomes at £5 a day. We will certainly book again when travelling in the area and have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful site to others.

Outstanding site

Great site in quiet small village near Lincolnshire Wolds. Well placed for visits by car to local attractions and to amenities in nearby Spilsby. We had an excellent, relaxing stay on a large, level pitch with very friendly, welcoming and helpful hosts. Cannot recommend highly enough and we will definitely return when next in the area.

Fantastic 5 star CL

We recently spent 5 nights at this absolutely fantastic CL, only wish we could have stayed longer. We received an extremely warm welcome and we’re made to feel very welcome throughout our whole stay - what lovely people ! Everything was on hand and spotlessly clean and very well maintained, our stay was both relaxing and comfortable. A truly exceptional CL, which we highly recommend to all.

A Gem of a Site

Lovely site, well kept & clean, lovely owners - nothing is too much trouble. The site is set in beautiful surroundings with plenty of country walks straight from the site. Nearby is the national trust property, Gunby Hall which is well worth a visit. A few miles further afield is the vast beaches of the east coast including Skegness, Ingoldmells, Chapel St Leonards, Sutton on Sea & Mablethorpe. All offer shopping and great traditional seaside experiences not forgetting fish & chips! The nearest town is Spilsby with numerous pubs, restaurants and 2 supermarkets. Wainfleet is in the opposite direction and has a brewery and a CO-OP & is well worth a visit. All in all a fabulous site in a fabulous location. Highly recommended.
