Cottage-Waters

A aimé Fantastic ‘adult only’, and dog friendly, site near the coast. I’ve been to this coast many times and have been looking for a place to stay for a few days to take my dog Maggie while the weathers nice. We’ve only had our campervan since Feb so we continue to look for sites and areas to have more adventures and make more memories.

Excellent communication from Michelle. Advising best route to take in my campervan. I did arrive via the narrow lanes, oops. I’d avoid these when it’s dark and use the alternative route as advised by Michelle for caravans and MH.

A very warm welcome from Michelle on arrival and a choice of pitches, we chose the far side looking at the lake. Only 1 other caravan opposite during our stay in that area, they also had dogs. We were also near the dog walking area.

Pitches are very large and all the areas very well maintained. There will be plenty of room for my awning AND my Outhouse when I return to stay for longer (Outhouse for the toilet and shower).
The Elson and water tap was in a clean area, with a nice touch of having disinfectant spray and hand gel available. The Elson grate /lid is quite heavy so be careful when taking it off and putting it back.
Plenty of bins for all types of rubbish.
They do have a fishing lake, not to fish in, and from my camper i often saw the fish jumping above the water, they looked huge!

As for location, they are 15 minutes from Huttoft car terrace which has a massive beach and it goes on for miles either way, or Sutton On Sea. It’s 9 minutes from Huttoft car terrace to Sutton on sea, I parked in the Sandilands car park (as recommended by Michelle). The car park is National Trust and has free toilets. There are 2 sections to the car park, the far one is suitable for overheight vehicles like mine. It’s only £2 all day or free upto 2 hours.
The National Trust cafe is fab, very clean and inviting. The ladies were very friendly and made me a chai latte although it wasn’t on the drinks list. We walked to Sutton, had ice cream and called in at a local cafe Ottimo’s, dog friendly and bought some cake to take back, then walked back.

I was near some trees and I was able to tether off my phone to watch some tv on my tablet.

We’ll definitely be returning and look forward to seeing Michelle and Jon again very soon. Hopefully Jon will have made some more benches for around the lake!

N'a pas aimé Nothing I didn’t like as it was as expected.

Just a point to note, as the site is surrounded by some trees you may want to download some films or programmes to watch in case you can’t get signal off your mobile. If you can’t get signal this will be down to your network provider not the sites WiFi as there is no WiFi.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you very much for your lovely review, was lovely to meet you & Maggie 🐾, glad you enjoyed your stay with us, and hope to see you again soon.

A aimé This is a super, adults only, camp site, so spacious and peaceful. Beautiful close cut lawned fields. Super views and we enjoyed watching the various wild birds, moorhens and ducks that live around the large pond on the site.The owners, Michelle and Jon, are so welcoming and helpful, they have lots of local knowledge about the area. The site is very well cared for, clean and well thought out. No regimented rows of pitches, which we dislike. Certainly hope to return. There is a lovely static caravan for holiday rental if you don't want to bring your tourer or motorhome. Very pleased that we found Cottage-Waters!

N'a pas aimé Nothing really. There are no toilets or shower, but that doesn't bother us as we tend to use our own caravan facilities anyway. We used our mobile phones as mobile WiFi for our laptops.
