  • Peaceful retreat with fishing on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds
  • A 15-minute drive from Louth and 25 minutes from east coast beaches
  • Wildlife haven with two fishing lakes; walk to the village social club
Scenic Alvingham Lakes is a peaceful holiday retreat on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds with the added bonus of fishing on site. Just 15 minutes' drive away from the historic Georgian market town of Louth, it's easy to track down a varied selection of good eateries and pubs. Plus, some of the finest east coast beaches are also a short drive away. The site has two fishing lakes crammed to the brim with common, mirror, grass and Crucian carp as well as roach, rudd, bream and tench – plus what the owners say are a few little surprises. Folks flock here from all over for the fishing and peacefully scenic surrounds, on a friendly and calm site full of feathered inhabitants like heron, moorhens and doves. It's a basic but well-maintained site, with a toilet, handwashing facilities and barbecues (and dogs) allowed; there's also a self-service café for drinks and snacks in between angling or just wandering placidly around the scenic surrounds. Louth is three miles away and a big supermarket is within 15 minutes' drive of the site. For drinks after a long day's fishing, the village social club is a short walk away.

What customers say

This tranquil, adults-only site offers a peaceful retreat with excellent fishing in well-maintained lakes. Visitors consistently praise the friendly and helpful owners, Ian and Terri, and the beautiful surroundings filled with wildlife and farm animals. While some find the facilities basic and the access track bumpy, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many planning return visits. Fresh eggs are a popular on-site purchase.

Liked Scenery and fishing lakes

Disliked Bathroom not clean so decided to go home early

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We were disappointed to read your review and are so sorry that you felt you had to leave early. We strive to ensure our facilities are clean and usable at all times.
You used the facilities on the evening you checked in, even messaging us around 1am to advise you thought the toilet might be constantly running after flushing. We believe you used the facilities the next evening, and at no point did you mention or message us to advise that there was any issue, which would have given us an opportunity to put things right. You then chose to leave in the early hours of the morning.
As you were the only electric hook-up pitch in use that weekend, nobody else was using the facilities.
We always encourage feedback, good or bad, but it is polite to address matters at the time, rather than try to shame an establishment online when there is nothing we can then do to improve your experience.

Really nice host and beautiful place…

Local attractions

The pubs, eateries, independent shops, traditional markets and award-wining butchers and grocers of lovely Louth are three miles away; after eats or shopping, have a wander around this historic town to see its 17th- and 18th-century buildings or take in a show at its Riverhead Theatre. Louth market days are on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The towpath of the disused canal runs along to Louth if you want to get there via a scenic wander, while if you're up for a longer walk you can follow it from there all the way to Tetney Lock, via the local churches, heaps of wildlife and spectacular views. A 20-minute drive away is the Donna Nook National Nature Reserve, where seals come to pup each autumn, and 30 minutes away are the beaches of Lincolnshire's eastern coast.
