Date of Visit: August 2008
Unit: Tent
Overall we had a lovely stay at the Rose + Crown campsite on the bank holiday weekend, it has recently been taken over + the owner told us it was in a bit of a state, but they have done a very good job on the pub, the toilet and shower block hasn't been changed but staff were painting out the mens toilets + showers while we were there.
Its a reasonable size campsite + the staff are very very friendly.
Meals are served in the pub + are very reasonable, the cheapest thing was a 4oz burger with salad for £1.99 + the most expensive thing was £6.99 for a Shepard's Pie dinner, which in my eyes was not expensive at all. They also did a cooked breakfast from 10.30am but I'm not sure how much it was. We ordered a few burgers + chips at 9.30pm on our first night + there was no problems with them, they were lovely, especially the home made chips!
On site they had an outside sink with hot + cold water for dish washing, showers were hot + free + they had a washing machine for use for £2 + dryer for £3 including powder and softener inside the pub, which is very cheap!
We had previously booked up elsewhere about 50miles away from our house but the campsite phoned to cancel last minute because of the bad weather, we contacted a good few places + ended up choosing the Rose + Crown campsite even though there was no reviews to look at + it was over 200 miles away from home but my brother was meeting up with us + it was closer for him so decided to book it.
The best thing about it was that it was only £5 per night + we had 3 cars, a large dome tent + 5 adults + 2 children! We offered to buy the owner a drink for it being so cheap but he said he would buy us a drink!
The town centre was ample with a good range of shops, it was about 10 mins away in the car + the weather was lovely so we could of walked it but didn't as of our kids.
We visited a Butterfly + Wildlife Park in Long Sutton, which is about 10 mins away, it looks like its in a housing estate as its at the end of a row of houses but its a lot bigger than it seems + well worth it for a family day out, it was £20 for a family ticket of 2 adults + 2 kids + our kids aged 2 + 9 really enjoyed themselves, there is a gorgeous bird of prey show + a tropical house full of butterflies + birds + many more creatures!(there is info on it on the rose and crown link on this website.)
We would definitely go back but for a week this time instead of just a weekend as we really enjoyed ourselves!
