Liked The location is absolutely perfect, situated right near the sea. With 5 minutes walk you can see the shore and explore the beach for sea shells and crabs. Though it is not so good for playing with the sand, it is still an amazing experience. The owner was very friendly and helpful when we arrived. Even though we were 15min later from the "check in time" he greeted us and gave us detailed instrictions about unpacking. The campsite itself was impressively clean and well-maintained. Out pitch tent was surrounded by trees, providing privacy and plety of space for the kids to play (though not too much space to play ball games).

Disliked The composting toilet was disappointing. Although it was clean, it required separation of liquid from solid waste. In theory, this approach works well (similar to how astronauts use toilets), but not everyone follows the rules. As a result, the "liquid waste" pipeline got blocked with sawdust and solid waste, which was quite unpleasant. For us, this was a deal-breaker. Other families may find it acceptable.

Liked Excellent campsite. This is our third stay at Barley Fields and we will be coming back again.

From the manager: Glad you enjoy it! Thanks so much for visiting again and we hope to see you soon.

Liked * LOCATION: The campsite and our "static caravan" were far from the road, and the place was very quiet. The campsite shares a border with the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre (which is worth visiting even if you are not into planes). * STAFF: The campsite owner has been extremely helpful. We had a few minor questions, and she replied to our messages instantly. * CLEANINGNESS: The campsite and our static caravan were spotless, and our caravan was as clean as a good hotel. * ORGANISATION: The campsite was very organised. Chains separate the pitches, there is a one-way system for cars, and parking does not affect children's play.

Disliked * Weather: it rained quite a lot!

Liked * Excellent Location. It's only 15 min walk from the beach. * Nice flat grass. Made sleeping more comfortable

Disliked * Noisy because of cars and people. The campsite is tiny and wedged between two roads, and a driveway goes through. Our tent was a couple of meters from the road and driveway. We placed our car in front of our tent because we worried about vehicles in the driveway not seeing our tent and running over us. Also, the dogs were barking and growling. One of our neighbours brought a handheld vacuum cleaner they used late in the evening, and a couple of tents had music. Also, the toilets had very noisy hand dryers. Given the size of the site, we could hear them late in the evening. While everything on its own was not too loud, the site was more noisy than our house, so the feeling of being outdoors was ruined. * Toilets could have been cleaner. The floor was always wet, and many surfaces had not been cleaned for months. A suspicious-looking brown stain by the door was there during our whole stay. * No toilet paper is provided! * No place to hang a towel or a toilet roll in the toilet. * Too many dogs and not always on a lead. At least one dog marked its territory by weeing on our tent. * This is not a campsite to visit if you want to return to nature. Overall, the camp is OK if you are there to meet friends, socialise and go to the beach. But the noise, light pollution and proximity to the road and other tents make the place quite busy.

Liked Excellent place to stay with family. The facilities were very clean and tidy. Wood (for £5), murshmellows and firepits were also available. Remember to bring some cash (£5 notes) for the wood.

From the manager: Thank you Andreas.

Liked * Beautiful location * Very clean accommodation * Warm pods with many facitlities

Disliked * Being with young children, the open water was a concern. However, they had been well behaved so there were no issues.

Liked * No dogs * No music * Friendly & family atmosphere * Plenty of space between pitches * Quiet area

Disliked * Could do with one or two more toilets but very minor issue. Only had to wait a few minutes *Slight distant buzzing noise of the generator in the morning and evening. Minor issue and would be happy to go there again. * Could give us a "welcome sheet" when we arrived or by email. A few things we had to ask to find out.
