  • Adults-only glampsite on the scenic Humber estuary
  • Half an hour's drive from Hull for museums, galleries and nights out
  • Fully licensed bar The Alpaca Arms on site
Plenty of soothing greenery, friendly alpacas to meet and no pesky kids scurrying around breaking the peace… yes please. If that sounds like a top getaway for your good and deserving self, break now for a stay at Marshlands Alpacas, an adults-only site with a fully licensed bar on site named The Alpaca Arms. A five minute-stroll from New Holland and the banks of the Humber estuary, this is a prime spot to use as a base for Lincolnshire explores, with plenty of peaceful trails nearby to follow (excellent news for long dogs walks in particular). Walk or bike by the river’s edge to soak up views of the wildlife and passing boats, or wander along one of the public footpaths or easy jaunts to the surrounding villages. For a touch of grandeur, head instead to Normanby Hall and Gardens, half an hour away, to stroll among Victorian outbuildings, spot Bambi and pals in the deer park and tour the grand old pile of bricks at its centre. If the deer aren't dear to your heart, hang out with the fluffy herd of alpacas instead. At Marshlands Alpacas, there is an alpaca feed station open on busy weekends from March to September. The station also serves fresh coffee and a tasty takeaway breakfast, made all the better by the excellently scenic views across the countryside. New Holland has a handy village shop for any other foodie bits you may need, and its train station has services to Cleethorpes and Barton On Humber.

Liked Great little site half an hr up road from us. First time but certainly won't be the last. Owners were fab and couldn't be more accommodating. Made to feel very welcome. Site was clean and the alpacas were great. Very peaceful and calm. Cant comment on showers as only stayed the night. Bar was a welcomed addition. Washing up area clean and tidy. Can't wait to return.

Liked We had a fabulous time at Marshland Alpacas, Julie and Gary were great hosts, the food from the cafe was beautiful, the Alpaca Arms a brilliant addition to the site. Really friendly, it was a great place to relax and have a few drinks. They really went out of their way to decorate the pub for the Women’s Euro finals, and the atmosphere was great, everyone cheering the lionesses on to their amazing win. The site itself is spotless, as were the toilets and showers, nothing was too much trouble, the alpacas are gorgeous, feeding them was a real treat! All in all, a fantastic weekend, spent in the company of some lovely people, thank you, we will definitely be back!

Liked This was our 2nd time here & Julie instantly recognised us upon arrival, which was nice. We were on the same pitch as last time weirdly 😂
Toilets & showers were clean as always.
Bar was welcoming. Strawberry Daiquiris were fabulous 👌 especially as they were slushies 😋

Local attractions

Without any kids in tow, having hols full of grownup-sanctioned adventure is a cinch: head towards Grimsby (half an hour's drive) for tours and tastings at Rutlands Arms Old Mill Brewery and a stop at the taproom of the town’s newest brewery, Docks Beers. Otherwise, venture towards Hull (half an hour) for sedate turns around pleasant gardens, stately manors, museums galore and a must-do stop at The Deep aquarium. Anyone who’s after something more high-adrenaline and doesn’t mind a slightly longer drive should make the hour and 20-minute journey down the coast to Ingoldmells for a day at Fantasy Island theme park, or continue on to Skegness (an hour and 20 minutes) for stock car and banger racing at Skegness Raceway. For days in the great wide open, there’s plenty of choice: the Lincolnshire Wolds are about half an hour away for hiking, biking, riding and geocaching, or a coastal detour to Cleethorpes (35 minutes) and its seaside stretch is a top pick for beach and sandcastle days. A trip to Spurn National Nature Reserve (an hour and 15 minutes) shouldn’t be spurned either, even if it’s over an hour away – take a stroll along the sand island for slow-paced explores or sign up for a safari or wildlife-spotting boat trip to see it at its best.
