  • Adults-only caravan park at a foodie pub five miles from Skegness
  • Pub and restaurant on site with a large choice of beers and wines
  • Family-friendly atmosphere with high-quality amenities
If you're off for the day to Ingoldmells, how about a huge English – or veggie – breakfast first… before a 15-minute stroll into town? And then another stroll back, for dinner and an evening's relaxing in a family-friendly pub and restaurant? If that all sounds pretty tempting, have an adults-only stay at the friendly and welcoming Kings Head, just west of Ingoldmells in the small town of Addlethorpe. In a peaceful setting near Skegness and with easy access to the sights and attractions of Lincolnshire and beyond, the Kings Head is a family-run pub and restaurant with high standards, a welcoming vibe and homecooked food alongside a wide range of beers and wines. It's a five-minute drive to Ingoldmells from here (although you might opt to walk each day if you're having the full English beforehand) and less than five miles from more beach days at Lincolnshire's most visited seaside town, Skegness. The site shower block has been overhauled to high standards in recent years, and a heating system installed so that all days can start off with a piping hot shower, whatever the weather. And then a mega big breakfast, and then – perhaps – another stroll into Ingoldmells, a drive into Skegness or a potter along the Lincolnshire coast…?

3 bedroom static caravan (hot tub, no pets)

Liked: The pub was good. They allowed us to have a bbq. The touring part was ok apart from the showers ,

Disliked: In the showers the sprays were too far apart to wet you properly so you had to move around in it , and most of the water went on the door. Not really fit for purpose. My mum and sister booked a static caravan with a hot tub. The caravan was shabby and not cleaned properly, they found a shoe under the bed and a new shower cap in a bag that originally contained 4, general cleanliness under the beds was poor. The hot tub water level on arrival was too low and it was too cold to use the first night. The maintenance guy topped it up and set the temperature but the water levels kept dropping so that the to jets literally sprayed up the fence that surrounded the hot tub, the maintenance guy came out several times but the problem persisted. The tap to control the shower snapped off when my sister was in the shower and she couldn't turn it off so maintenance had to come again.

Fully-serviced gravel and concrete caravan site

Liked: Great site with excellent private pitches, reception / bar staff very welcoming and friendly, owner really helpful and welcoming, happy to help guide you into your pitch. Toilet facilities modern and clean. Will definitely be booking again and would recommend the site to friends. Our adult kids visited the pub for the Saturday night karaoke, a great night had with friendly people, bar staff we're really friendly even happy to try out mixing a baby Guinness for them! Read a few reviews saying reception staff / bar staff rude... we didn't and neither did the young adults in our party experience this at all.

Disliked: Showers although clean and in a new block are not the best as spray from the head is very sharp and spread out so you don't get a great flow, but still you can shower.

From the manager: thank you very much for your review sorry for your problem with the showers it is at present being rectified hope to see you again xx

Local attractions

Ingoldmells, five minutes’ drive or 15 minutes’ walk from The Kings Head, is probably best known for its theme park Fantasy Island, with indoor and outdoor rides and the world’s longest suspended rollercoaster. Shops, arcades and a huge indoor market open seven days a week are recommended stopoffs in town too. The nearest beach from the pub is a mile away, more sands are at Skegness five miles away, or you could travel a bit further up the coast to other Lincolnshire seaside towns like Sutton on Sea and Mablethorpe, and inland for the non-strenuous strolls and cycles of the flat Lincolnshire Wolds. Plenty of family options as well as the seaside resorts are handy if you’re around with the kids, such as the open-air museum of The Village Church Farm, telling the tale of rural British life before mass urbanisation, alongside family activities like chicken feeding, fancy dress, bug hunting and storytelling – do drop in to say hi to Bob the Hornsby steam engine too. Also see nearby Walsingham Abbey, a monastic house and place of pilgrimage until it was destroyed (boo) by bad old Henry VIII in the 16th century. The ruins of the medieval priory still spectacularly stand today; take a guided tour of Walsingham to see all the spots of interest as well as the shrines and pilgrimage history of the village.
