Great Site

Stayed at this site for 2 nights commencing 1 July, arrived at about 6pm and the owner made us feel very welcome and showed us to our pitch, as a new caravaner I'm not that confident at reversing and was going to use my motor mover, he offered instructions and I reversed onto my pitch first time with his guidance, he then explained what was what and asked if we had any questions and if we needed him to just pop to his house and ask, what a thoroughly pleasant and helpful man. We enjoyed our short stay and walking in the area, the site is extremely clean and peaceful, we will be going back again.

A fantastic site

I almost do not want to say how fantastic a break my family and I have just had at College Farm for fear that we will have difficulty booking again. It truely is a lovely little site. The site is compact and perfect for the quiet weekend away that we were after. Hull is only a short drive away over the Humber Bridge. This was ideal for us as we were visiting The Deep during our stay. Upon arrival we received a lovely welcome from the owner who made sure we were settled in and also pointed out some of the local facilities and attractions. This started the break in a lovely manner. After setting up we then discovered one of the nicest little tea rooms we have visited. The Paddocks is a lovely tea room on site and is run by fantastic staff. They were so friendly and welcoming it was like we were old friends returning not just first time customers. Not only are the staff excellent but the food is too. The selection of home made cakes is fantastic and incredibly tasty. I must thoroughly recommend the farmers breakfast too. Fantastic quality produce cooked perfectly. We also had a Chinese takeaway from the nearby village of Barton upon Staithe which was also excellent. There had been quite a lot of rain just before and during our visit which caused some of the grassed areas to be a little soggy in places but not enough to have caused a problem for us. The hard standings were lovely and level and provided lovely views across the neighbouring fields. The water pressure at the water point was reasonable and considerably better than a number of sites we have visited. The CDP was discreetly located behind some attractive shrubbery not too far from the pitches but far enough so that it was unobtrusive. Overall this was a lovely site. If I have any complaint it would be very occasional road noise but even this was nothing of any real significance and was so infrequent that I only mention in passing. I would recommend visiting this lovely little site if you are looking for a great site at a fantastic price in this area.

A Little Gem

We have just returned from a 3 day stay at this wonderful CL. On arrival, we were greeted by Bill, one of the owners. He couldn't have been more helpful, helping guide my husband whilst he was reversing onto the hard standing pitch and given us all the information we needed on where everything was. The site was level and dry, despite all the recent rain they had had. The CL is reached through the farmyard, with nice easy access. A highlight of the stay was seeing the pedigree Limousin cows, calves and sheep with their new born lambs. Bill and Gavin (Bill's son) were quite happy to talk about the animals and answer lots of questions on them. The site is situated close to the Alkborough Flats which are a lovely place to walk, especially if you are a birdwatcher. Also close is RSPB Blacktoft Sands where we sent a morning watching the Marsh Harriers and numerous types of wildfowl. There are lots of places to walk and it was lovely to return after a long walk and visit the tearoom next to the farm, also owned by the Ogg family. The tearoom does cooked breakfasts as well as a wide range of delicious cold and hot light meals and snacks. I can certainly recommend the home made cakes. At £10 a night, including electricity, it is outstanding value for money and we will certainly be staying here again.

Another relaxing, laid back, CL

We recently stayed at College Farm CL for 4 nights in May 2015. This was our third visit having stayed twice in 2010. The site is still just the same as before – 5 hardstandings with hook up adjacent although there is the option of using grass if you so wish. The water point is located just inside the site entrance gate [after passing through the farmyard]. The CDP is shielded by some shrubs close to the far hedgerow. Bill & Veryan were almost always on hand to have a chat & to make sure everything was OK. Unfortunately on this visit we didn’t get to use The Paddocks tea room that Veryan oversees but the variety of home made cakes on offer has to be seen! They are only open Thurs to Sunday. Remember to bring along a bird feeder as we were inundated with House Sparrows on our visit along with the occasional blue & great tit, robin, wagtail & the usual plump pigeons! There are numerous walks available directly from the site including venturing onto Alkborough Flats via. the turf maze at Julians Bower, which is now a nature reserve due to the deliberate breaching of the river defences to flood what used to be pasture. We also did a cross country trek to Winteringham [visiting The Bay Horse pub for refreshments!] and returned along the river/estuary bank with views of the Humber Bridge in the far distance [10 miles]. The local roads are also relatively quiet for cycling. The nearest shop appears to be in Burton upon Slather which is a 3 mile walk south along The Cliff from Alkborough. The farm is home to The Confluence Pedigree Limousin herd and they can be viewed when exiting & entering the site. They all have individual names on their ear tags and this year they were all “J’s” i.e. Jimmy, Jura, Jessop! Whilst the entrance track through the farmyard can be a bit muddy at times, don’t let this put you off as this is superb relaxing CL and a bargain at £10 per night.

OUR SITE

Would love to give this site a bad review so that we could keep it to ourselves but the truth is it is the best CL we have visited, only spent two nights there but wish we had booked for a lot longer, will definitely be going back next year for longer, really friendly owners, also there is a café at the farm which uses good local produce at very reasonable rates.

warm welcome.

I have just spent 12 days on this beautiful site. Being new to towing I couldn't have chosen a better CL. Bill and Gavin were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble and when it came to leaving, which I did reluctantly they were there to help me hitch up and even made sure the road was clear. I am certainly grateful for all there help and friendliness.

Beautiful Lincolnshire at its best

Just home from visit number 3 and everytime has been one to remember. Amazed that there has never been more than 3 pitches in use on any of our visits. There's little more to say that hasn't been said already. Try visiting Brigg - a lovely little town and don't forget to walk over to Burton Stather along the top of the ridge overlooking the Trent. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. Only problem we found was the cafe didn't open till 10 today (Sunday) and we had to get home so missed our breakfast. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Lovely little hideaway

Had a lovely weekend at this site in Alkborough. Very well laid out and immaculately maintained site with 4 hardstandings and 1 grass pitch. Through a very clean farmyard,and into the site to pitch up. All the usual facilities on site plus a lovely tearoom which was very busy most days. The owners were lovely, very welcoming and making sure we were ok. Even made friends with Jasmine the calf! Lots of walks around the area and good quiet lanes for cycling. Stunning views from Julians Bower across the rivers. Will be returning as excellent location for a weekend trip.
