Why stay here ...
Opposite Willow Cottage and its beautiful former NGS Open Gardens is the new stunning lakeside site. Surrounded on three sides by mature trees, a little suntrap with 'toe in the water' pitches, new terraced hardstanding, makes this easy to access site a dream.
Linked to the former site ponds it attracts the same abundance of wildlife, rare water voles, ducks with chicks popping in and out of their houses, woodpeckers tapping, dragon flies hovering, swifts and swallows feeding on the wing. As evening falls the heavenly birdsong fills the air, visiting bats and hoot of the resident tawny soon ensues.
Within 2 miles, a 'must visit' National Trust Gunby Hall and Gardens, a charming country house dated 1700, set in Victorian walled gardens.
A 3 mile round robin walk leads you to the quaint old village of Burgh-le-Marsh. There you'll find a Post Office, butchers, coffee shop and bakers and well stocked late opening supermarket, also boasting an old windmill, alongside a fine dining restaurant, new pizza takeaway, a superb Chinese takeaway and Chippy and 5 pubs.
From the site, half a mile up the lane, flag down the hourly bus to the metropolis of Skegness for all the fun of the fair. A little further on visit the hides and marshes of Gibralter Point Nature Reserve, be sure to lunch at the coffee shop!
Take the bus the other way through the beautiful Lincolnshire wolds, walk the snipe dales, pop in for lunch at the George or the renowned Rachael's Cafe. Next stop Horncastle, another gem to visit. Ideal site for wildlife lovers.
So much to see and do, you've just got to come and stay. Price is per night for two adults, dog and awning! Get booked in, we'd love to see you.
This is an Adults only site.

A really attractive site
New Willow Cottage CL
On phoning to book we were given our pitch number and our name and pitch were on the board when we arrived - so pitching was really easy. Several water taps around, plus obviously loo disposal and also rubbish and easy recycling. The surroundings with the lake and country side are wonderful. The site is really peaceful and well kept. Payment is by cash as is the payment for the metered electricity. You just take a reading before you leave, work out the cost and put the money in an envelope at the house - really easy. Our three night stay was £14 per night plus just over £10 for electricity, which we used for our low wattage kettle and a bit of electric heating. The supply is currently 10amps. We were on a level hardstanding with grass to the sides. If you follow the site's directions for access the site is well signed. Our visit was March, so no sitting outside the van, but with better weather the site would be wonderful for just chilling, watching the ducks and other birds. Lots to do in the area, depending on your preferences. We went to Gibraltar point for a short stroll (and hot chocolate & cake!) and also explored Burgh village itself which is quite interesting (and has a nice bakery!)

One of the best, but don’t tell anyone!!!
New Willow Cottage CL
We are never disappointed when visiting this site. Have been coming here at least once a year for best part of 15 years and it is the best kept site we use. Site fees here are most reasonable, just pay extra for electricity used with honesty box.
Easy access to many seaside resorts and places of interest. Visited nearby Gunby Hall for first time this year, well worth a visit.
Thanks to Bob and Karen for the warm welcome we always receive.
Lovely CL site
New Willow Cottage CL
What an amazing little site our names and pooches name on a black board on arrival nice personnel touch Bob came and welcomed us on arrival our 1st outting in our motorhome and loved it would highly recommend this site
Enjoyable stay
New Willow Cottage CL
We spent 4 nights on this pleasant C.L. in early March. The weather before we arrived was dire and we weren't too happy to find ourselves allocated a pitch on reinforced plastic but surrounded by grass. This would be fine in good weather. The owners were away for the weekend but upon phoning them they confirmed that one of the other hardstanding pitches was available as someone had cancelled. If you don't want grass then ask not to be put on 4 or 5.
The stay after that minor hiccup was fine. All of the usual facilities nearby including recycling for rubbish. If Skegness is your thing (it isn't for us) then it's only a few miles away. We like Gibraltar Point though which is accessed via Skegness itself. Gunby Hall is about 5 minutes in the car or a good walk over the fields if you are fit. Dog walking is behind the site. There is a small pond, hence adult only. The owner did mention that whilst he wasn't set the lake up for fishing he doesn't mind if people do but best ask permission.
Supermarkets etc. can be found in Skegness.
If the site is full then ask if they have space on Birdsong, also owned by them and 100 yards down the lane on the opposite side.
I would suggest you access the site from the directions in the handbook and not satnav as the lanes are a bit nerve shredding. We know as we were diverted down them due to an accident on the main road.
Little Gem
New Willow Cottage CL
We stayed on the Birdsong site, beautiful site, very well maintained. Peaceful site, heard tawny owl most nights. Stunning sunsets. Had fantastic weather. Took the bus number 56 to Skegness, 15 mins walk from site, be sure to stand by wall otherwise bus does not stop! Bob and Karen very friendly and helpful, during our stay we had to order some parcels for delivery and they kindly let us use their address. Good information board on site. Would recommend visiting Huttoft terrace car park especially if you have MH or camper as at the moment can park for free right on the beach. Would certainly recommend this site and would definitely stay again if we find ourselves in the area again.
