  • 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

A tidy, quiet spot with ripper owners and spotless loos. Plenty of room on the pitches. A good local pub's a stone's throw away. Bit of road noise and patchy Wi-Fi for some, but all up, a great, secure escape. Keen to come back!

Liked Nice welcoming owners, good sized level pitches.

Disliked Only one shower and ladies W/C which wasn’t an issue for us as the site wasn’t busy but would see this an issue if full. Although outdated these were clean.
