  • Peaceful site on the outskirts of Sutton on Sea, in Lincolnshire
  • Mablethorpe five minutes’ drive; The North Sea Observatory 20 minutes
  • Grazing wild deer in the fields; barbecues allowed
For an adults-only seaside holiday without the constant din of amusement arcades ringing in your ears, you might want to try Ambers Lodge, occupying a tree-lined field on the outskirts of Sutton on Sea, in Lincolnshire. The village centre and the beach can be reached in about half an hour on foot (or five minutes by car), which means that all the regular seaside attractions (from sandcastle building to fish and chip shops) are easily accessible without being in your face. This is really a place for guests keen for a peaceful retreat punctuated by animal encounters: deer graze around the site, and you’ll wake up in the morning to a glorious dawn chorus. Barbecues are allowed, and you can source provisions in Sutton on Sea. There's a toilet block and shower facilities on site too. You might want to take yourself off to the seaside town of Mablethorpe (five minutes’ drive), where you can relax on benches with views of colourful beach huts or have a game of miniature golf. After that, carry on your tour by hiring bikes and cycle along the seafront all the way to Huttoft Beach (about half an hour).

Power optional grass and gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Nothing

Disliked: Ladies toilet had no lock on , no hot water, no hand dryer. You was expected to go into gents toilets we’re there was open urinals And toilets , as you walked in to wash hands this is what they classed as unisex toilets, We didn’t get put into the field we was next to a one of the workers caravan

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Very sad to read this, yes the toilets are unisex, urinals are to one side hidden from view, the toilet you are referring to as ladies is actually the disabled toilet, which temporarily has no hot water as we are altering it to be more disabled friendly, about parking you near a workers caravan I really have no idea what that means as we don’t have any on that part of the site, but what workers we have are clean tidy respectful people so don’t really understand what the problem is with that, but we have taken on board what you have said and we will look to improve. Regards Brian

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: We had a fantastic stay. The campsite was easy to find. It was both close to Mablethorpe for day-time activities and meals and to Sutton for a nice and quiet evening stroll. We were welcomed as soon as we arrived and received good recommendations about the local area. The toilets and the shower cubicle were clean with toilet tissue provided. The soil is soft enough which makes it easy to set up your tent. We'll definitely come back!

Local attractions

Wildlife enthusiasts shouldn't miss the Seal Sanctuary Wildlife Centre (10 minutes' drive), which looks after injured or orphaned grey and common seals with a view to release them, though there are some long-term residents too. Other animals here include the ever-popular meerkats, squirrel monkeys and pygmy goats. A striking modern building perched over the beach, The North Sea Observatory, Chapel Point (20 minutes) is a top spot for birdwatchers. Binoculars are provided, and you can spy seasonal residents like ducks and wild swans in winter, and house martins and swallows in the late summer months. There's cycling, walking and lots of other land-based activities to enjoy in the local area. Maybe, though, you’d rather have a go at kayaking or paddleboarding, both of which are available at several spots within 45 minutes. (If you’d rather just watch, see if there’s also a lakeside picnic area.)
