The Red Lion

Positiv Great campsite.
We come every year.
Lots of improvement been made.
Pub staff very friendly

Negativ More lighting would be good around the site. It's literally pitch black that you can't see a thing once the sun goes down.

Positiv Cracking campsite with very large pitches, good facilities and excellent wi-fi. The pub serves a good selection of drinks and the locals and staff are very friendly. The owner kindly leant me a firepit as mine had broken. The toilets and showers i found were as clean as could be on a campsite. Yes you get the odd muddy footprints but no big deal as it’s camping and not a hotel.
Plenty to do and see within a short driving distance with the aviation museum next door (less than a five minute walk).

Negativ Nothing spot on 👍

Positiv Really lovely quiet site well maintained with a nice children’s play area. We had static caravan No.2 which was slightly elevated making it seem quite private. Was very clean and tidy So we had a lovely couple of days

Negativ Steps to the caravan were too steep and not deep enough Had to very careful No we are not too old !!

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanyou for your comment regarding the static caravans and the site, I have mentioned the steps to the owners on numerous occasions im afriad as the site and pub do not own the statics and they are privately owned and maintained by the owners this responsibility falls on them but I will pass this on again thanks

Positiv Stayed for 3 days, we was on plot 10, next to the park which we thought was great for our 3 kids, the park was really nice, clean and welcoming, we was aware it had been updated and we thought it looked great, parking spaces was a good size right across from our tent so easy access, the acces codes for the toilets and entry was a brilliant idea, and gave us a sense of safety too, the pitch was a good size however it did have some holes but we made it work, as no pitch can be perfect and we did go towards end of season so I expect uneven pitches from regular uses,
The pub we popped in for a drink and honestly it was such a perfect old classic type pub, 40p for pool table! Bargain we had a couple of games and enjoyed it, the Sunday dinner smelt and looked beautiful and we deeply regret not booking in for food, the decor of the pub and beer that was served gave of the lovely idea of supporting local businesses in terms of the beer served, it’s nice to see a pub which still holds tradition in comparison to crappy weather spoons

Negativ Been so close to the park did have its downfall, 6 in the morning and kids from a few pitches over thought it was a Great time to bounce scream n shout, again we made it work, sadly that is the parents fault and not the campsite owners at all, so when I do stay again I would try and get a pitch away from the park just for that reason, the toilet and showers was usable but I wouldn’t say clean, the floor was only mopped on the Monday as we left but it hadn’t from what I noticed been done since, tampon product bin was over flowing still so I wouldn’t say great standereds in terms of that. however I used it it did the job and they was toilet paper at all times so win win , we were out in nature I wouldn’t expect 5** especially with the rain which just made the floor look filthy so yeah it is what it is, and I did the clean the sink just because 😂 didn’t use the showers so can’t comment,
We did have an issue with the electric tripping with the rain, but didn’t need to alert the owners as this was an easy fix which my partner just flipped the switch and we was back on no issues really, again we expect this as it happens at home,

Vom Platzbetreiber: Firstly I would like to address the face that our touches are not very uneven at all, they may not be perfectly level which is mention before you even book and through the booking process and secondly I beleive this review is down to the fact that you and your party were told about that rules when it comes to pitching a motor home and a big tent on the same plot which is against all our rules from the start every plot must only have on tent or alike on each plot this is to abide by fire regulations which you totally ignored and I bovine that is why you were horrible to our staff, no one else had any issues the night you came in to eat with us with everyone else saying that it was the best meal they have had in a long time but no matter how hard our staff tried to help you and be nice it was met with hostility and aggression we are again glad that you and your family will never be returning again

This has put our staffs minds at rest as they do not come to work to be abused or belittled Thankyou

Positiv Tidy grounds, play park for kids and interactive site was very well organised. Close to Skegness and Mablethorpe. Lovely cafe and shop close by

Negativ Toilets got wet and muddy and couldn't dry could do with a mop

Vom Platzbetreiber: I’m sorry but again this review is the same as the one that your family posted which stems from the fact that you were told that only one motor home tent or caravan could be on a pitch and you were informed that you had pitched a massive tent on the plot with a motor home which breaks our site conditions and fire regulations, and another thing you mentioned the food and drinks and you had to bring them back but then go on to say that we advertise we do food and drink but that you did. It have any becuase we did not do any contradicting your selves many times there we make it very clear that we do home cooked food not fast food and our opening times are very clear, we are open during summer Tuesday to Sunday serving food each day we open from 5- late earliest closing time being 9pm depending on cutters present Monday to Saturday, Sunday is 12-6pm serving Sunday lunch 12-3pm during the winter we close on a Monday Tuesday and Wednesday this is all over the pub and our website along with our interactive guide which also states no more than one item per plot, we have put this down to your reaction to our disapproval of breaking our site rules, many thanks for never returing in the future

Positiv Absolutely fabulous. Checked in easy enough and plenty of space to pitch up. Highly recommend. The Red lion nearby is a bonus.
