  • Traditional Lincolnshire country pub between Louth and Mablethorpe
  • A 15-minute drive from Louth and half an hour from Skegness
  • Home-cooked food and a cosy fireplace for winter nights
Looking for a peaceful site beside an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty? Hitch a ride any way you can to Waggon and Horses, in the rural village of South Reston and between Louth and Mablethorpe. It's 15-minute drive from here to the coastal resorts of Trusthorpe and Sutton-on-Sea, and the Lincolnshire Wolds are within easy reach. Guests have been welcomed to this splendid countryside inn for over 130 years: these days it's a friendly spot with top facilities, where you can tuck into home-cooked food or a Sunday carvery in the restaurant, have a bar snack or regular special, and join in with the traditional pub games and events regularly held on site… all the while working your way through the menu of guest beers and real ales… Between the seaside and the Wolds, this is a top base for either a weekend break or a longer visit, with loads of activities on offer from leisurely country and coast walks to cycling, golf, nature spotting and seaside amusements. A bus service stops at the site entrance for runs to Louth, Mablethorpe and Skegness. The site has a play area, and barbecues are allowed if you'd rather dinner was DIY. The refurbished toilets and shower are another big plus, and fresh drinking water is available from a tap outside the nearby village pub.

What customers say

A peaceful, no-frills site behind a friendly pub known for tasty, affordable grub. Pitches are usually roomy and flat, with power. Some say facilities are basic but clean; others find them dated and needing TLC, especially the loos and dishwashing hot water. Some campers reported noise. Great value.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Lovely old pub with a huge field at the back with pitches clearly marked out.
No views.
Called into the pub on arrival & Jean explained what pitch we were on and where everything was.
The facilities (showers/toilets) we didn't use as we use our own.
The outside water tap was a bit awkward to use as the press button was a lot higher than the actual tap. There was only one.

The Elsan point was clean.

The Sunday lunch was delicious.
Would definitely go again.

Disliked The people on the next pitch, in a tent, decided to keep their car parked within 2ft of our motorhome, though the pitches were plenty big enough to park in front of their own tent.
The site guide does say cars should not be parked on the field but no one seemed to either know rhis or take any notice.

Liked Very quiet. Handy to have the pub/shop/restaurant on site (even though we didn't use these).

Disliked Water hog tap is very low pressure and you have to keep your hand on the push button. It took 10 mins to fill.

Local attractions

Get out into the Lincolnshire Wolds or browse the nearby market towns for inland adventuring: Louth, 15 minutes' drive away, has an acclaimed market for the procurement of local produce, as well as waterside strolls from town all the way to Tetney Lock. Golf is available at Kenwick Park and Woodthorpe, both within 10 minutes of the site. Towards the coast, make for Mablethorpe (15 minutes), for the Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary, the miniature railway, boating lake and small funfair… and perhaps you may care to follow in the poetic footsteps of Mr Tennyson and shout your verses out to the Mablethorpe sea…? No? Take the little sand train instead for a lyrically handsome journey to the north end of Mablethorpe's beach. The beach and pier of Skegness (30 minutes) have been a famed spot for British hols for generations; it's not for nothing that the town was the site of the first Butlin’s (and was once voted the best retirement spot in all the land)… There's loads to do here alongside the beach and pier, including a seal sanctuary (with tarantulas and penguins), the National Parrot Sanctuary, and the spectacular Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve. Sutton-on-Sea and Ingoldmells are within easy reach too: you should of course sample (more) fish and chips at each.
