The Red Lion

Liked The basics of this site are great.

Disliked I feel with this site less could be more. Loose the all signs and the chains and take a bit more time strimming and cleaning. The toilets were only just manageable. It’s just all the finer touches. Dirty showers where the water flows into aco (outdoors) drain cut into the floor where the tiles are left with sharpe corners.

From the manager: Hi while we appreciate all reviews this is shocking to say the least, we appreciate that everyone has there own opinions but can categorically disagree with all aspects of this review, the chains and signs are there to help everyone and to inforce the rules that we have set out for everyone’s enjoyment is simple and easy and they are a stipulation of our caravan site licence none the less, as for the chains they again are pictured online and if you prefer to not stay on a site with them then why book in the first place sorry but we are hiding nothing here, they are saftey chains and make it so each booking party has there own peace of land and aid in making sure a fire barrier is kept between each booking, the toilets and showers are more than adequate for the site and are clean every single day by myself and the showers flow very nicely in to these drains and are a practical solution to keep everything at one level, none of the tiles are sharpe as they have been rounded over and grouted in, as with everything in life not everything is to everyone’s liking but I think this review is just not fair on the campsite we are a family business and we do what we can to make everyone welcome Thankyou

Liked Site was well laid out and the area was clean as were the shower facilities,the pub food was great especially the real chips 🍟
That time I was again on pitch 10 on the corner next to the water tap,if I book again I would like the same pitch please

Liked Very spacious pitches which easily accommodated a large family tent (7m x 4m)
Newly refurbished children’s play area which our young children loved.
Coded entry to toilet block and main campsite.
Small but clean toilet and shower block.
Good location in order to reach local attractions and local beach locations such as Mablethorpe and Skegness, yet remote enough to relax away.
The food from the pub was very good, and reasonably priced for the quantity of food.

Liked Size of pitch was fabulous
Child's play park looked great (even though we didn't have any children with us)
Peaceful place to relax
Pub has amazing food & choice of drinks 😋 great staff and we enjoyed the best cooked steak /meal we have had for quite a while 👌
Looking forward to returning

Disliked Facilities could do with an upgrade as 4 toilets and 4 showers (2 in the male and 2 in the female) is not enough if the pitches are even half full

From the manager: Hi Thankyou for your lovely review regarding the shower and toilet facilities we checked all the time over this weekend and even though we were fully they coupe extremly well, we do have planning permission for another shower and toilet facilities which eventually will be done but I’m afriad at this time what we have is all we can offer, this is enough for the size of our site as laid out by the council Thankyou

Liked We only stayed for one night but lovely peaceful site and the food at the pub was nice with large portion sizes. We went in with our dog and he was also made to feel really welcome. Staff was friendly too. We will be back

Liked Pub was excellent, great staff, enormous portions with every meal. Camping plots are generous and well set out.
Facilities are very adequate but there will be a queue during busy times. Always clean though, the showers are the best I have used, no timer button, just switch on, wash and switch off.

Disliked The plots are separated by a link chain. It would be much safer if rope was used.

From the manager: Thankyou for you review we are struggling to understand a 5 out of 10 review of campsite with the review you have left and find this disappointing to say the least, we tried rope for some time on the campsite and we deemed it more of a hazard the chain link breaks easily under any stress, were rope does not break easily, so chain link is actually much much more safer than rope due to this,

We also cannot understand why a 5/10 when all other areas you have rated so high

To say we are disappoint that we were not reached out to us over this, and the fact that you would stay again

We are disappointed but will continue to improve our site but I’m afriad we believe the chain link provides a safe and convinet way of separating the plots not only this but they can also be unhooked and move if need be as long as they are replaced on leaving the plot, so they actually are a lot safer and better than any rope

Thanks

Liked Fantastic place to stay, left to our own devices. For me was great as I knew I could just get on. Really nice campsite clean great washing up area, showers were good and toilets clean. Everyone kept themselves to themselves come and go as you please barrier system made me feel secure. Great there’s a pub (we didn’t use it as we had plans with friends locally) but saw a few of the campers bring their pints back and sounded like a great atmosphere! Great park for little ones. Also WiFi was fantastic as we like to watch a film before bed! Great size pitch plenty of room

Disliked Great pitch plot 10, but opposite the park where the children were left to play unattended so some of the language while eating our tea wasn’t appropriate and the children screaming and shouting at 21.30. Unaware if there are rules for the playground?
But this is nothing to do with the campsite itself

Liked Very informative and smooth check in process.
Spacious pitches. Excellent clean facilities.
Lovely and hot water for pot washing.
Well equipped children's play area.
Plenty of dog walking options a short stroll from the site.
Warm welcome awaits you in the pub and dog friendly!.
Perfectly place for visiting the Lincolnshire aviation museum which is just an easy stroll away and can highly recommend a visit the museum has something for all ages and makes an excellent day out.

Disliked Having not stayed longer.

Liked This was our 4th stay this year. We absolutely love it here. It's great to see all the improvements being made over the years. The play park has just been done and the kids had a brilliant time.
The food in the pub was to die for! And is the breakfast in the cafe over the road. Plus the little shop has all the basics covered.
We love the laid back feel to the site, everything you need to know is sent in an email, however should you need to speak to someone, Chris is usually available on site or staff in the cafe over the road are always happy to help

Disliked That we had to come home!
