  • Peaceful back-to-basics site nine miles from Newark
  • Campfire area for guests to share
  • Pub serving food 600 yards away
Steal a break getting back to basics on the four and a half level acres of Poachers Patch in the village of Brant Broughton in Lincolnshire – although there's easy access from the A17, this is a peaceful place, set back from the road on the south end of the village's High Street. The pitching area is a long meadow that borders the Sandbeck stream to the south and the River Brant to the east, and has a designated campfire area for all guests to share (ghost stories a must, of course…) and a loo block with hot and cold water. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on site. The local pub the Generous Briton is 600 yards away; it serves food and takeaways, and has a café opposite that's open from Thursdays through to Sundays. Nearby Navenby has a fish and chip shop, an Indian takeaway, a baker, a butcher, antique shops and two pubs.

What customers say

This immaculately clean and peaceful site is praised for its friendly and helpful owners. Facilities, particularly the showers and toilets, are consistently described as spotless and well-maintained. Pitches are spacious and level, suitable for tents and caravans. The site is a short walk from a highly-regarded local pub and offers a tranquil escape. While basic, the facilities are sufficient and the overall atmosphere is very positive.
