A gem of a site for a peaceful get away

Peaceful rural site with tea room. Working farm but dogs welcome. Well spaced pitches. Welcoming owners & staff. Short walk to local pub & Humber, with its wild life. Our first visit but not the last

So quiet and peaceful

Stayed here recently for two nights. The site is on a working farm in a small village. The hard standing pitches are level, ours was absolutely level and the others seemed the same. Each pitch has water and electricity. The owner was friendly and helpful. There is a cafe... Show more

More improvements😁

Fully agree with Wherenext’s review, so won’t repeat things again, but this really is a grand CL, and the surrounding area is a birdwatchers dream location. There are some lovely local churches to explore both in NE Lincolnshire, and it’s an easy drive over the Humber to very nice East... Show more

A little gem

Just had 2 week stay on this site even though we had all 3 storms during out stay we could not fault the site, Some fantastic walks, views, sunsets, and the added bonus of a great tearoom on site. We will be going back.

Always a Lovely Stay at College Farm

Not a hard choice to return to this lovely well run CL in a very pretty and interesting part of the UK. The CL is tucked away in the small village of Alkborough, almost where the River Trent joins the Humber Estuary, and hence is a dream location for birdwatchers... Show more

Peace and Tranquility

We stayed on here for 3 nights in May in our caravan. What a great site with lovely owners; it is so peaceful. Made friends with the farm bull which seemed a gentle giant from the right side of the fence and enjoyed watching the new calves playing in... Show more
