We have just come home after another lovely long weekend at Oaklea - and really wish we could have stayed longer!  It's a couple of years since our last visit, but everything is as beautiful as it always was.  The superb weather combined with the beautiful autumnal colours, and some wonderful flying displays at the BBMF at Coningsby on Sunday made this a visit to remember.  Piotr is really welcoming, and laid back about how you pitch on site - no regimented lines of vans here.  It's only a half hour's walk into the quaint and interesting town of Woodhall Spa, but you can also get plenty of exercise in the arboretum and its surrounding woodlands.  There is lots of wildlife to enjoy and we were lucky enough to spot a muntjac on one of our evening strolls through the wooded area.  Just be warned though, if you are looking to eat out on a Monday night - a lot of the pubs and restaurants in and around Woodhall close on Mondays.  We eventually found the Abbey Lodge Inn (at Kirkstead only five minutes drive from the site) and had a delicious candle-lit meal there.  I must admit I was disappointed in the desserts - so next time we go, which we will,  I'll have a starter and a main course - couldn't fault those at all.  Oaklea is not far away from us, and is definitely our loveliest little bolt hole.
