Gunnelgate House Certificated Site

Just returned from an eight night stay at this wonderful touring caravan park. I want to put this review out there so the site owners get the recognition for the wonderful work they have done to get the place up to the standard that it is. However I don't want to make it sound too nice because others will start using it and I might not be able to book again if it gets too busy/popular. Only joking, I wish them every success they absolutely deserve it.. The owners Ged and Julia live in their house onsite. They are always on hand if needed, but do not impose themselves on you. Ged is working daily, cutting the grass, doing numerous upgrades and any jobs that need doing. Julia cleans the toilets and replenishes the toilet rolls, paper towels, the shower gel, shampoo and conditioner that they provide in the shower block. This really is a lovely touch. Ged can also be seen filming sometimes for their YouTube channel 'Behind the pitches'. Please have a look at this site and give them a like and subscribe and share the videos and all the wonderful work they are doing to promote this beautiful touring park. Halfway House Touring Park is well situated to visit the local and wider Lincolnshire area. With Mablethorpe, Skegness, Cleethorpes and Sutton-on-Sea. Dog friendly beaches can be found at Theddlethorpe and Mablethorpe. A couple of other great local nature reserves at Donna Nook and Hubbards Hill. All within easy reach by car. The camping area is accessed via gates that must be closed on entry and exit. It contains five fully serviced grass pitches, with a water tap, grey waste and a EHU point, elsan disposal and recycling facilities. Two toilets and one shower. These have been totally refurbished for this year. They are decorated and fitted out to a very high standard. They were always spotlessly clean. The gates to the entrance drive and the camping area are locked overnight making the place secure. The pitches are a good size and well spaced out with room for our caravan, awning and our secure dog run/pen without encroaching on our neighbours. There is also an absolutely huge dog field/area where your pets can run freely off the lead. This is also a great place to watch the sunset from the picnic benches in the meadow. They have a 'pop bar' which opens on various/set weekends during the season. The bar wasn't open during our stay but on our last night Ged and Julia invited us and the other 3 vans on site to join them for a 'bring your own social drink' in the camping field under the patio heater. This was a wonderful evening and a great way for all the guests to meet and just chat about everyday things and share stories and camping memories. This was a great idea and a really nice way to end our holiday. Yes it is next to Manby Road which can be busy at times so you can get some traffic noise. However this did not bother us at all during our stay. I have to mention that on arrival our car had an Engine management light come on, I am a member of the AA so I called them out. They advised me of the fault and booked the vehicle into the closest recommended repairer inline with my membership policy/package. The garage was in Grimsby which is 20 miles from the site. With my vehicle still being drivable I had to get the car to the garage myself. I had no idea where the garage was or how to get back to the site if the car had to be left at the garage. Ged offered to follow me and bring me back to the site. He then took me back to the garage to collect my car after it had been repaired. This was a total of 80 miles. He refused any offer of payment for this absolutely wonderful gesture and we will be forever grateful. We can not thank you enough. To use their mantra we arrived as strangers but left as friends. If you are looking for a site in this area of Lincolnshire then book a stay at Halfway House Touring Park, you will not be disappointed. Well done to Julia, Ged and family, we will definitely be returning.

We've just returned after spending a wonderful week at Halfway House Caravan site, I honestly think this is one of the best kept sites we've ever stayed on & nothing was to much trouble, so friendly & helpful. I can definitely recommend. 😃

A brilliant little campsite with such a warm, thoughtful welcome. Communication before our stay was excellent — really supportive and informative, which made everything feel easy and relaxed. The bathroom facilities are lovely, genuinely home from home and immaculately kept.The paddock is a fantastic space and perfect for spending time with your dog. Another big bonus is the location: it’s an easy and very pleasant walk into Louth town centre down a quiet country lane, and the railway track takes you straight into town. Ideal for a gentle stroll and stopping for a drink (or two!) of whatever you fancy.A great base with hosts who truly care — we’d happily return and recommend it without hesitation.
