Hunters Lodge Fishery

The location, facilities, privacy and especially the owners were very nice. There is also a small coffee shop on site with excellent coffee.

Lovely location, right in the village of Elsham but feels really remote.

Beautiful scenery -- we stayed in the caravan, which is by the car park, but a walk up the steep hill to where the bell tents are was worthwhile for the gorgeous views.

Family-run by lovely, responsive hosts. Anything we needed or questions we had were sorted quickly.

Caravan has an awning with fairy lights, a BBQ and picnic table outside with a bit of grass that isn't really used for anything else, so there's plenty of space for everyone (2 adults and 2 young children, in our case) to relax and play. Inside was comfy and well-kitted out for basic cooking, etc. There's a toilet block nearby with a shower but the caravan has a chemical toilet if needed too - really useful for kids and late night needs!

Beds were really comfy and warm, lots of pillows and super squishy duvets.

Shower facilities were really nice and the whole place was spotlessly clean.

Mostly used by fishermen who are by and large a quiet bunch, so really peaceful.

There's a really lovely little playground 5 minutes' walk away in the village if you have little ones with you, too.

Nothing that would prevent us returning; had a great time and can't really fault it for our stay! But some possible considerations for other readers - the walk up to the bell tents is really steep; the hosts drive people up with their stuff but if you're planning to be on and off the site a lot it could get tiring. The views up there are stunning, though!

There isn't much of anything in Elsham; Brigg is about 10 minutes' drive away and has all the shops you'll need, and Grimsby/Scunthorpe/Cleethorpes etc are an easy drive, but it's definitely a site you need a car for.

The place is mainly a fishery so the campsite is small and amenities minimal compared to some places; it's somewhere you'll go for the peaceful vibe, not nonstop activities. The lakes might be a consideration with very young children if staying in the tourer -- obviously you have to keep a very close eye on them -- but the tents are quite a way from the water.

We loved everything about this place stunning views kids loved the fishing tents was very clean to a high standard staff very helpful cafe food excellent shower area cleaned to a high standard also I struggle with lung fibrosis and couldn't clim the hill but was taken to the top my car they couldn't do enough will definitely be returning next year.

What a great find. This small site was everything we hoped for, amazing views and peaceful location away from the lakes and any buildings. Well placed at the top of the hill to maximise the views and the tents are spaced out unlike most sites. We were the only campers on our 2 night stay so our children and dog were able to get plenty of exercise without worrying about disturbing anyone. The bell tents are beautifully set up with pretty much everything you need including a large bottle of water and some tea, coffee, sugar and uht milk. We did all of our cooking on the gas stove provided although the pan provided was small so next time I would take a bigger one. The owners were very friendly and responded to emails quickly with any questions we had. Breakfast from the cafe before setting off was well worth it. I look forward to returning!

I booked a 2 night stay in the Cogsworth tent for my boyfriend's birthday - the weather was less than desirable but our stay was lovely! The hosts were lovely, really friendly and they transport your belongings to and from the tent upon arrival/departure. The tent was quite big inside, with all the utensils we needed. Luckily we had extra blankets as the temperature dropped quite low on a night. There is a steep hill to get to the tent but the view is 1000% worth it! We had access to a chemical toilet near to the tent or there is a private toilet/shower room a 5/10 min walk away which was immaculate. It's in a stunning location and very quiet which is what we wanted. There's plenty to see and do around the area as well - On our first night we ate out at a local Indian, Saturday we explored Normanby Hall Country Park & did GoApe, Sunday morning we went go karting. Unfortunately we didn't get much time to wander around or go on any walks but if we stayed longer we would've loved to do so. We would definitely recommend staying here.

The only dislike was that the wood for the fire was soaking wet - we only managed to get a fire lit on Sunday morning before leaving. It would be helpful if it was kept sheltered in poor weather.

The bell tent was beautiful! Alot bigger than we expected and fully equipped with what we needed and more!

Not a dislike but the steep hill may be worth mentioning if anyone is hard of walking etc, but they take your belongings to and from the tent for you.

Fantastic touring caravan, great owners, family run site, very quiet, nice walks around the ponds and up to the Bell tents. The caravan itself is a Hobby very spacious inside with king size bed, well equipped with everything you need even a fridge freezer , we was advised not to use the shower or toilet in the caravan but almost opposite is the shower and toilet which was very clean and cleaned regularly. Would recommend for a very peaceful break.
