Liked: We spent five nights at the red lion campsite. It is very convenient for visiting the Lancaster Heritage Centre. Chris the owner was happy to help and answer any questions we had. We stopped on one of the hardstanding pitches which had electric and water, very convenient. The pub served food which was very good and reasonably priced as were the drinks.

From the manager: Hi Thankyou for your review, it is more than likely the floor was wet due to either being cleaned or some one using them at the time, I have inspected them repeatedly and given time to dry they are complelty ok,

I’m afriad we cannot do anything about low water pressure as this is just due to being rural in location, but the showers do operate every well,

I’m really unsure about your comments regarding the buns as non of the buns have been full over the last few weeks, and also I’m unsure about the comment regained bad smell of urine by the pitch as this is compleltly strange to us and I don’t really now what to do or how to answer that one,

We would have rather have been approached in the pub with any issues so we could rectify these were possible but I have not been able to find any evidence of anything onsite

Liked: We appreciated the nice size pitch, handy washing up area and serviced ablutions. The pub is well presented inside, had a good selection of cask and keg beers and thankfully, sloe gin. The Sunday lunch was excellent and ticked all the right boxes. We also liked the addition of the shop/cafe across the road which was an added bonus and well worth checking out. There is clearly a lot of effort being put into the overall offering and we hope to visit again soon to see how it all progresses.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike really. It was exactly what we wanted.

Liked: The toilets were clean, so were the showers. The advice on the local shop and cafe were much appreciated and helpful. Even the neighbours next to us on either side were so lovely. Everyone was so helpful. We loved the privacy, the calm atmosphere and the area we were in. Me and my partner went to take time away from life, especially with the passing of my 21 year old sister due to murder. This time away really helped us get a better perspective of life.

Disliked: The pitch we were on had quite a lot of holes, however we made it work and it didn’t become any issue

Liked: Stayed 4 nights, the site was very peaceful, lots of grassed area, good WiFi connection, pitch was large enough and fairly level for a grass pitch with electric hook up. Was nice to see the planes flying over head. Nice 30 minute drive to Skegness for a day out.

Disliked: The play park was out of use due to upgrading it, which is brilliant for people booking in the future, however the owners did not inform us of the park being out of use upon us booking, if they had, I would have booked an alternative site as our 3 children could not play on the park for the duration of our stay. Womens toilet block smelt of sewerage for the duration of our stay and was quite unclean, generally rundown and in need of upgrading. There were some inconsiderate dog owners during our stay who let their dogs run onto our's and others pitch's and barking at children, not on their leads and left to run around (we are dog owners our self and ours was on a lead or spike lead for everyone's peace of mind and safety).

From the manager: Thankyou for your review, I’m afriad there is little we can do regarding upgrades to our park facilities as these are a bonus and not a nessesity we pick the times to do this around the times that the campsite is quieter and we have had no option but to carry this work out at this time unfortuantoy the weather also worked against us which has caused delays and that is unavoidable,

We do our best to accommodate everyone but im afriad not everyone listens to the rules and had we been informed regarding other dog owners we could have rectified this at the time

As for the toilets we inspect and clean the toilets each day it’s just a shame that people cannot look after them and leave them in the condition they found them due to the bank holiday weekend just gone we have noted a few small items that require maintenance which will be carried out but we feel the facility’s reflect the price point of our site

Thanks

Liked: All was very good, site, food, drinks and prices

Disliked: We have a large motorhome and entry was a little tight.
