Really lovely site that the new owners are currently improving. Close to Woodhall Spa. Lots of quiet country walks from the campsite.

Not the sites fault but the pub was closed due to flooding which is about 20m away and has a great reputation. Woodhall Spa is a good hour walk away. The new owners were fantastic and we even got a dozen fresh eggs. Fishing looked great and plans for some additions are ongoing. The hampers from a local producer are planned. Some great walks from the site. A great little spot.

Hiya Scott, it was lovely to meet you both. The pub is now back open and the food is still amazing. We now have our very own chickens and hopefully some eggs soon. We hope to see you again soon. Fiona and Paul π

Stayed at this campsite at the weekend in a small tent and the hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. Excellent toilet and shower facilities and after our air bed popped, they allowed us to borrow theirs for the rest of our stay. Great location for some lovely walks and close to Woodhall Spa for the Kinema in the Woods. Large lake which you can walk around too. We will certainly be returning. Thank you very much! π

We loved our stay in the beautiful Bainside House Park. Very well set out with hard standings, grass and pebbles giving access to lovely clean showers, toilets and washing up stand. Lovely views of the landscaped park and nearby lake (dogs not allowed in that part). Lots of walks within 1 mile and further to Woodhall Spa, which is well worth a visit. Fantastic meals at the next door pub, The Ebrington which we highly recommend but it's not open on Sundays.

Without transport and only a pub in the village, you're a little restricted.
Site's response
There is a connect bus to get you where you want. Maybe we'd advise some research before you arrive, if you don't want to use your own transport.

Booked 4 nights on this site with our 3 dogs as site said it was dog friendly. On arrival was greeted by Sheila, very lovely lady. Site rules do state dogs on leads, but while we were setting up, our dogs were loose beside the van. A couple opposite had a dog which was loose as well, as did a couple beside them, so didn't think it would be a problem. Mick came over and told us to put them on leads in quite an abrupt manner. Never said anything to couples opposite. Day 3 of our stay we were the only people at the end of site as couples opposite were out or had left. My partner threw a ball for one of our dogs as no-one was about and Mick appeared and abruptly again to put the dogs on leads. It was 30 degrees outside, our pitch was in the full sun and he wanted us to tie the dogs up when no-one was about for them to disturb anyway. Seems he has one rule for one and one rule for others. I understand sites have rules and we have been to many sites with our dogs but to be barked at by this man only to see other campers with their dogs not on leads I think is out of order. Unfortunately, we left 24 hours earlier then planned. If this guy had actually came and had a chat, our opinion may have been different.

Thank you for your feedback. As you mentioned, the rules do state "no dogs off leads" while on campsite. I normally give people time to set up before imposing the rules but in your case, I approached you to introduce myself, only to find dogs barking at me and made me feel uneasy. So yes, I did ask for the dogs to be put on leads. I also mentioned that I already had a word with the others. I had a complaint from another camper, who said one of your dogs had been let off and had crossed the field to the other dog, even though I had asked for the dogs to be on leads. The day in question, I was walking past and saw a dog shoot pass across the field. Not only was I about, but there was also another couple sitting out side their tent. It only needs the dog to keep running on to them and I knew they did not like dogs. This is why the rules are in place for everyone. It would take 2 mins to walk off site to play with your dog off lead. I'm sorry if you think I was abrupt, but I had to tell you twice to put your dog on a lead when it is mentioned in the paperwork given to guests, as well as on signage on site. To respect others, I feel was not asking too much. With regards to the weather, I can not do much about that.
Excellent site

Great site, all facilities were excellent. The fishing lake is very nice albeit we didn't fish this time, but will do it when we come again. The pub next door had very good food and service was excellent. All in all, this a superb site, would recommend any time. Many thanks.

This site is amazing. The owners, Mick and Sheila, are very professional and helpful and always there to answer any questions. The added bonus of this site is the quiet with it being an Adult only site. The pitches are very well kept and the shower facilities are clean and functional. The fishing lake is very well stocked and good fishing. We liked the idea of paying for the electric when you leave so you only pay for what you use and the same with the fishing. Many other sites include this in the pitch fee. We will definitely be booking again. We didn't want to come home. I would add that the pub next door isn't open every day and only opens at 6.00pm on the days it is. Thank you for a great stay. Kenny and Marie x

We phoned ahead on the Friday evening as we were running late and this was not a problem. On arrival, we were met by the owner, Mick, and directed to our pitch. Really helpful instructions of where all the facilities were etc. Walked 2 mins to the local pub for a lovely evening with excellent food and drinks. Lovely open fire too. Very dog friendly as well. Lovely walks within a few mins of the site so ideal for our two dogs. Another lovely meal in the pub on the Saturday lunchtime and into the evening. Beautiful clean facilities which include a large shower room with w/c, a separate w/c too, washing up area as well. Plenty of recycling bins and a dog poo bin too. Ideal location for a quiet weekend away, and probably more for couples than young children but it depends on your requirements. Mick was excellent when we unfortunately got stuck on the very wet and sodden grass and helped us get off. Apart from the weather, we had a lovely weekend, met some lovely people and we look forward to returning sometime soon.

Hi thank you for your review. Glad you had a nice time on our site. It was unfortunate you got stuck in our side field that had been laid to seed. Did not take long to put back with roller. The main part was getting you off. Hope to see you both again Mick & Sheila
