Outstanding
We've just returned from five nights at Oaklea (20/07-03/08/20) and we can't wait to go back again.
From the minute we booked until we said goodbye, the owner, Piotr has been so helpful and welcoming; not only that, he's a walking travel encyclopedia for everything local.
The site is beautifully laid out with a wide variety of trees and bushes which enhance the site. The entrance from Kirkby Lane is wide enough for the largest of Car/Caravan outfits. Access to the pitches is by way of a wide gravel driveway.
The grass pitches are level and well spaced with trees/bushes providing a reasonable level of privacy. Water is easily accessed from one of the EHU/Water points and with the evenness of the site, using an Aqua Roll is not difficult.
Piotr has developed several pathways amongst the trees which form the boundaries of the site and this make for a very pleasant stroll at anytime of day.
There's also plenty of Birdlife during the day; Owls & Bats at Night and also Monkjack Deer at any time of the day.
If you are a fan of fast jets, the RAF very kindly provide free daily fly-pasts; this weekend it was with their Typhoon strike jets (the Red Arrows currently live just down the road at RAF Conningsby but sadly were not at home this time).
Access into Woodhall Spa is a gentle 20 min stroll but as there's no footpath until you reach the Cemetery, be cautious of traffic on the two sets of bends along Kirkby Lane. There's a lovely variety of shops along the main street and there's also a reasonable sized Co-Op and a slightly larger Sainsburys. Make sure to visit the 'Tea Rooms in the Woods' for great food & service in a lovely location.
(NOTE: if you plan to travel into Woodhall Spa via the village of Martin on the B1191, be aware the road is closed for the next few weeks in both directions for major repair works. We detoured from Llincoln via Bardney & Stixwold).
It's been a fantastic visit and made the four & a half hr journey over from The Wirral more than worthwhile.
Thank you Piotr and we look forward to our next visit.
Steve & Dot.
