A peaceful relaxing stay
Skybarn Farm
We have just returned from a ten night stay at this lovely CL.
Communication before, during and after the visit is excellent. The App to download is extremely useful and saves a lot of preparation time finding places to go and to eat.
Access to the site is very good - no narrow roads and a wide entrance. The coded gate entrance makes you feel safe and secure. The pitches are level and an excellent size. Having the bollards with water, waste, EHU and meter was very convenient.
The WiFi was reliable just remember to log in each day.
Nicola and Richard are very amenable, friendly and helpful.
We found the places to eat in the App were spot on - sampling two pubs, the Chinese takeaway and the fish and chip shop. Our favourite was The Five Bells - with their quirky interior and exterior sitting areas and great food. We also ate at The Railway where the food was good value and plentiful.
We were lucky during our stay to see The Red Arrows practising, and to see the Barn owl twice in the field behind the caravans.
All in all an excellent ten days holiday - as the weather was good for us.
Thank you Nicola and Richard.
Lovely site
Skybarn Farm
We stayed one night on the way up North in the middle of June. We wished we had booked longer, and will certainly return again. Easy access from the A46.
Immaculately kept site, large level pitches, electric charged at a reasonable rate per unit. Good information cabin, and fabulous dog walks around the farm.
Nicola gave us a warm, friendly welcome
One of the best!
Skybarn Farm
We spent 2 nights at this wonderful little site. It is immaculate, generous sized pitches, all hard standing & very well kept. We didn’t use any electricity. There was a tap on each pitch. The information hut was very well stocked with leaflets regarding local attractions. Nicola was a brilliant host, very friendly. We felt safe & secure. We drove to the park & ride which is located in the Waitrose car park about 10 miles from the site to visit Lincoln. We would highly recommend this site to anyone thinking of visiting this area!
Skybarn C L
Skybarn FarmOur first visit to this little gem, kept seeing reviews so when we needed to be in Lincoln thought we would give a it a try, and not disappointed immaculately kept, all facilities with easy reach, hard standing pitches we could put pegs in. Our host Nicola very approachable and friendly. Very easy access from A46. Ideal location to explore Lincoln and surrounding area. Hopefully will be back.
Great CL close to Lincoln and Nature Parks
Skybarn Farm
Our first visit to this great CL. Easy to find and get to. The proximity to the A46 does result in some traffic noise but not overly loud or disturbing. On site dog walk is useful but also lots of local walking within a few miles at Whisby nature reserve and Hertsholme. Easy to get into Lincoln for sightseeing. This is a well kept site and Nicola is friendly and helpful. This CL will definitely stay on our list for future visits.
