Excellent little CL site

I was looking for a campsite within an hours drive from home to go away for a night for my partners birthday and looked at Caravan Club as well as others. I chose this one as it had a pub/restaurant on site. When I telephoned to book I double checked that toilets were accessible all the times as researching a lot of sites at pubs some toilets are only open during pub hours. We turned up on a wet and windy afternoon but couldn't have received a warmer welcome. The pub was closed when we arrived so we went into the signposted pub side door were we was greeted by the owner. We set up and awaited our meal we had booked for that evening. There was a fantastic selection on the menu, almost everything one the menu we liked and the food didn't disappoint. We have only stayed at a couple of CL sites but it was lovely going to the loo and having a shower in the central heated pub building. This is a gem of a little site with everything you could wish for, they a motor home owners themselves so know firsthand what you need. A great little find and only just over an hour from us we will be back in the summer.

First visit to a pub CL

Just back from a five night stay. The CL is lovely, though we aren't fond of gravel pitches but our pitch was nicely situated on the only corner (pitch 2), which gave us loads of privacy and a quiet place to sit the dogs out. The toilets and shower are in the pub and are immaculately clean. You get a 'zapper' which gives you access to the toilets/shower even when the pub is closed. Do be aware though, that the pub only opens part time - and not 'til 7pm on the weekdays that it does open. (Closed Mon - and I believe no food Tuesdays) At weekends, opens for lunch time and evening hours on Sat and all day Sunday. So, if, like us, you are holidaying during the week and had plans for lazy pub lunches followed by lazy afternoons sampling the pub's brewed on site beers, you are going to be disappointed. The pub is lovely and, when we did get chance to sample the beers on the Sunday, they are worth the wait. John will sell beers in a four pint take out container for you to enjoy in your 'van, though we didn't take advantage of that. Being so very flat, this part of Lincolnshire can also be very windy, which can affect the awning situation. We found our pitch to be very level and didn't have any difficulty pitching up and levelling the 'van. We visited several local places during the day and found access in and out of the site very easy. The site is well maintained and has everything you need, is easily accessible, there is even wheelchair access if you should need it. I think the fact that the site is owned and run by actual campervanners means they understand what caavanners/campervanners need. There are two over night stop spaces for campervans and all facilities are available for them too. All in all, a well kept, maintained and run site.

A gem in the fens

This is the finest CL we have ever been on. The facilities, site, and location are fantastic. We enjoyed 3 meals in the adjoining pub, and they were exceptional. Quantity and quality could not be bettered. Cycling in the area is great, quiet roads and dead flat, the local airport is about a mile away and is well worth a visit with a good little café.We went on sunday am and the aircraft were non stop.

Second visit to this great CL, easy to pitch and all facilities spot on. Landlord very helpful, tab created for the 4 nights and one payment at the end (discount on pitch fee if a meal taken in the restaurant). Will return again soon

A really beautiful place!

After booking for one night to see relatives, we came away knowing we'll definitely be back again. Our hardstanding was well maintained, totally flat and within a beautifully kept field with lovely views from each window. The site is perfect for adults wanting to get away from it all as its deep in the countryside, but equally has an excellent pub and restaurant next door with good ales and its own brewery. I also loved the shed with info about the surrounding area. Lovely and relaxing! Shame we didn't stay longer!!

Great food and beer

Friendly owner. Had not booked and could only stay 1 night. Will book next time to stay longer.Lovely site. Spotless toilet and shower. Food and beer very good. If you eat in pub only £10 per night. Good doggy walks. Will be back. Husband wants to taste the bluebell ale which is brewed in the barn next to the pub.

We Will Return

We have just spent a relaxing 4 night break at this CL and loved it. Lovely warm welcome from John and Jen on arrival. Everything neat and clean, just as we like it. Having a toilet and shower was a bonus (spotless too), as was the free Wi-Fi. Good information "shed" with leaflets on local attractions as well as magazines, books and DVD's to borrow. You also get a "Welcome Pack" with information on the CL, local facilities etc which is most useful. The pub itself was nice and homely, more like a living room than a traditional pub with leather sofas and wood burning stoves (not on, thankfully!). Lots of eclectic touches added to the homely atmosphere. We had the carvery on Sunday in the restaurant which was very plentiful and tasty. Lots of other tempting dishes on the menu and specials board, and you get £5 off your nightly charge on the nights you eat in the restaurant. Husband liked the beer which is brewed in the adjoining barn. You can either drink in the pub or take it back to your caravan. You can even buy 4 pint carry out containers (as well as soft whip ice-cream cones!). Whilst staying at the CL, we visited Wisbech (nice largish historic town with lovely church and municipal gardens), Crowland (with abbey, unusual bridge and character houses), Springfields at Spalding (edge of town shopping outlet and nice show gardens), Spalding (nice for a wander around, especially along the river. You can also catch a water taxi to Springfields), Downham Market (small but characterful town), Baytree Garden Centre, Spalding (huge garden centre selling much more than garden sundries and plants) and Holbeach (3 miles away and nearest shops to the CL. Nice little town). John and Jen are CC members themselves and have obviously given a lot of thought to what they think their customers would like and I must say they are spot on with lots of thoughtful touches both on the CL and in the pub/restaurant. We look forward to returning again to this really lovely CL.

Lovely CL

Just come back from the Bluebell inn after a lovely week. We went in our caravan whilst the parents went in their motorhome. The site is for caravan club members aged 18+ only and has 5 large hard standing pitches with own hook up. There is fresh water and chemical and waste disposal area as well as a shower and wash facility in the pub, one shower but very clean and at no point did we have a wait. The site is to the side of the pub itself however do not let that put you off as there was little noise from the patrons and the pub opens at 7pm on weekdays excluding Monday. On to the pub, it is a beautiful country style pub which serves its own brewed beers (very nice) and a variety of food which again is very very nice. You also get £5 off your pitch fee if you eat in the pub which is highly recommended. On the final night my parents had to move their motorhome to the carpark (we knew this on booking so no problem) and the charge was £2.50 for the ehu as we all ate in the pub, alternatively the pitch would be £7.50 and is used mainly for night stop overs. The nearest towns are Holbeach (approx 5 miles) and Spalding (10 miles) so a car is required to get about. In Holbeach are a variety of shops and a Tesco supermarket. In Spalding is Springfields which is a shopping centre with gardens to the rear, there's also a sainsburys supermarket and other well known high street stores. Further afield you can visit Sandringham and the coast. We would definitely recommend the Bluebell inn to others, the host John and his family are very welcoming.
