We stayed nine nights on this most fantastic CL early July 13. The owners were exceptional friendly and very helpful. The condition of this CL has to be one of the best we have experienced on in 43yrs of staying on CLs. Unfortunately the two closet pubs are closed. There is a very good Co-Op supermarket 3 miles away. The CL his surrounded by tall conifer hedges cutting out any views of the countryside but making the CL secluded. There is a bus every 30mins from Potteranworth which is about one mile from the CL to Lincoln City (can park the car easily in Potteranworth).The down side to this remarkable CL is the road noise which is worse at weekends because of motorcycles roaring past which is far louder than the HGVs passing during the week, so one needs to have a high tolerance to road noise if staying on this CL. There is a 40mph speed limit sign outside the CL for this tiny village but most drivers (not all) and especially motorcycles riders tend to ignore the limit so making the road noise more severe while passing the CL which is on the edge of the village. So 110% for the CL and 0” for its location alongside a noisy road.

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review of this site. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at Mere Oaks. The site owner has contacted us with a response to this review.

“Hello, thank you for your kind review left about our CL. We would like to respond to the mention of the road that runs by our site as we appreciate that it can get busy. During the summer 7 local railway bridges were closed for maintenance/replacement and road diversions increased the volume of traffic passing Mere Oaks.  Thankfully these bridges have all reopened and although commuters still use the road, the level of traffic has dropped. We have also notified the police who have been running speed limit checks along this 40mph stretch. I hope that this helps to reassure anyone who is considering staying on this site. If you have any queries regarding this or anything else, please do contact us. Thank you again for leaving a review.”
