  • Peaceful retreat with fishing on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds
  • A 15-minute drive from Louth and 25 minutes from east coast beaches
  • Wildlife haven with two fishing lakes; walk to the village social club
Scenic Alvingham Lakes is a peaceful holiday retreat on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds with the added bonus of fishing on site. Just 15 minutes' drive away from the historic Georgian market town of Louth, it's easy to track down a varied selection of good eateries and pubs. Plus, some of the finest east coast beaches are also a short drive away. The site has two fishing lakes crammed to the brim with common, mirror, grass and Crucian carp as well as roach, rudd, bream and tench – plus what the owners say are a few little surprises. Folks flock here from all over for the fishing and peacefully scenic surrounds, on a friendly and calm site full of feathered inhabitants like heron, moorhens and doves. It's a basic but well-maintained site, with a toilet, handwashing facilities and barbecues (and dogs) allowed; there's also a self-service café for drinks and snacks in between angling or just wandering placidly around the scenic surrounds. Louth is three miles away and a big supermarket is within 15 minutes' drive of the site. For drinks after a long day's fishing, the village social club is a short walk away.

What customers say

Idyllic, adults-only spot lauded for superb fishing, calm vibes, and welcoming hosts. Wildlife spotting and farm animals a hit. Clean facilities and fresh eggs a bonus. Some dated caravans and a single basic toilet noted. One early departure prompting manager's call for prompt reporting of issues.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Beautiful site in wonderful surroundings. Plenty of footpaths to explore and the Monkey Shed was well stocked with information on walking and cycling routes in the local area as well as having some provisions for sale. Facilities are new and kept immaculate. Customer service and communication was excellent. Free range animals made things interesting - you never knew what was going to walk past. Louth has plenty of options to eat and shop and the beaches are only a short drive away.

Disliked If you’re not keen on free range animals, beware! The chickens roam freely and this could be off putting to some. No washing up area.

From the manager: We were disappointed to read your review and are so sorry that you felt you had to leave early. We strive to ensure our facilities are clean and usable at all times.
You used the facilities on the evening you checked in, even messaging us around 1am to advise you thought the toilet might be constantly running after flushing. We believe you used the facilities the next evening, and at no point did you mention or message us to advise that there was any issue, which would have given us an opportunity to put things right. You then chose to leave in the early hours of the morning.
As you were the only electric hook-up pitch in use that weekend, nobody else was using the facilities.
We always encourage feedback, good or bad, but it is polite to address matters at the time, rather than try to shame an establishment online when there is nothing we can then do to improve your experience.

Really nice host and beautiful place…

Local attractions

The pubs, eateries, independent shops, traditional markets and award-wining butchers and grocers of lovely Louth are three miles away; after eats or shopping, have a wander around this historic town to see its 17th- and 18th-century buildings or take in a show at its Riverhead Theatre. Louth market days are on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The towpath of the disused canal runs along to Louth if you want to get there via a scenic wander, while if you're up for a longer walk you can follow it from there all the way to Tetney Lock, via the local churches, heaps of wildlife and spectacular views. A 20-minute drive away is the Donna Nook National Nature Reserve, where seals come to pup each autumn, and 30 minutes away are the beaches of Lincolnshire's eastern coast.
