 There is a lot of road noise from the passing traffic. The pitches are mix of gravel and grass and very tight they have large over grown conifer hedges mixed in with old forgotten apple trees lots rotten apples on the floor when we were there. The site is very small space wise and there is trampoline for children to play on. There is an automatic barrier to access the site if towing a caravan recommend care parking as there a lot trees and hard objects that making siting your pride and joy a challenge. On a bright sunny day there is little sunlight on the pitches as they are hemmed in with very very tall hedges. The local shops are a car drive away and have limited opening hours. There is toilet block back in its day was done to good standard. The showers are push type be prepared to run it a few times before hot water comes through. There is a hair dryer but not very hot. It's a cash only payment site. If have children or pets you will need to keep a close eye on them as it is very easy for them to get on to the road.

 Just come back from a 5 night stay at this small site over Easter. Very peaceful, apart from the road noise, although this didn’t disturb us too much, it was traffic to the nearby village.

On arrival, you must park up at the barrier and go to reception, this wasn’t very well sign posted but once we’d found it (in a conservatory attached to the main house), Jacqui was very friendly and helpful. The site has lots of trees and was surrounded by fields. The site is well situated just outside Boston, good little town with most of the usual high street shops. Not far from Skegness and that coast line.

We were directed to a level half grass/half gravel pitch with hedged edges. Some of the pitches looked a bit tight and a lot of people used motor movers to get onto their pitches during our stay.

Toilet block is in definite need of a good update, 2 showers/2 toilets and 4 basins in each bit and a family room with shower and toilet. I think they need to invest in a good cobweb brush and some new shower curtains – some had lots of mould on the bottom. There was plenty of hot water (push button system). The hairdryer wasn’t much good, although I guess it’s useful for people staying with tents or no electric.

There was a large trampoline on site for the children, this seemed very popular but had far too many children on at any one time and no adults to supervise although this was advised. There was also a small play area. There are plenty of blue recycling (and normal) bins around the site. TV reception was very good and we managed to get 3G on the phones. Spar shop down the road (towards Boston) good for forgotten items, the rolls were nice!

 Just returned from this lovely little site. Owners very friendly and can't be helpful enough. Was pitched near the road due to lots of rain recently. A little road noise but nothing to worry about. Certainly didn't bother me. Adequate toilet/shower block clean and warm. Hard standings with electric hook ups and elsan disposal point. Adequate water points around the site. Small playground for children with events throughout the summer. You can visit where the ' pilgrim fathers' left for America only a short drive away. There is a fish and chip shop a short walk away 'along a country road'. A pub a short drive serving meals with shops etc in the nearby town of Boston. A great site which I will be returning to again.

Reviewer: Sueted48 1 review from this member

 Unfortunately for us the owners were away, and it showed! From the website this looked like a very nice site with good facilities. However the toilet block had not been cleaned when we arrived for a 2 night stay, and had still not been cleaned before we left. In the ladies there was matted hair in two of the sink plug holes and one shower cubicle had mould growing around the tiles and nowhere to put your toiletries. Also there was a broken fold down seat in one of the men's shower cubicles. The mop bucket at the entrance contained very dirty water and a self wringing mop that broke on the second morning.

What were nice washing up facilities were spoiled by a light over the sink that didn't work.

As for the pitches, many of the leylandii hedges around them were overgrown and were much too high.

On the good side the play area was nice as were the recycling facilities.

Pilgrim's Way is in a great position for visiting Boston and surrounds with a bus that will stop if hailed right outside the site.

Yes, this site probably does have 4 flag AA facilities, but they were suffering from neglect on our visit.

 This is our 6th visit since 2015 when we got our first caravan and we wouldn't want to go anywhere else, fantastic site, well maintained and always a warm, friendly welcome, the owners are also extremely helpful. Highly recommended

 Wow what a site and lovely well kept and the facilities are first rate. My wife and I were cycle touring and could not have been made more welcome. Clearly the owners take great pride in the service they provide.

 This site is a little gem. Facilities excellent, Plenty of thought given to keep under 10's occupied We were only here for two nights on this our first trip but already looking forward to returning. A very peaceful site making a great place to stay whilst touring the local area

Reviewer: ShaneHarrison1979 1 review from this member

 Nicely situated park, picturesque grounds and rural surroundings not too far from Boston or local tourist attractions. I camped backpacking style and found myself feelin that the site is primarily focused upon caravanning. Nothing amazing here, not much at all for backpacking, but for a caravan based tourist this site could be delightful.

Reviewer: Adamedwardsteather 44 reviews from this member

 Friendly welcome from the owner plus cats on arrival.

Tents go into what was the front garden of a big house. There is a small gazebo with low intensity lighting to sit in if, like us, your tent is too small to sit in. Very handy for eating chips from the take away, five minutes away by bike.

Showers and loos good and clean, although the one problem was the shower curtain being short. When the tap was on, the curtain billowed out into the changing area and so you need to make sure all your clothes are well out of the way. This also means the changing area is wet. The folding seat would not fold down as rusted up. A longer curtain would make a big difference.

The only big snag is noise: We had people in the carvan near us come back from the pub late and although they were not noisy, their car lights plus door noises woke us up. They then got up at 6 am and woke us as they left for work. Also the road runs right past the camp site, so any late or early cars will disturb you.

That said, a nice site, clearly well run with lots to do. The trampolene for the kids looked very good, but my son is now too old for such things, he claims!

Reviewer: LizaBllackman 4 reviews from this member

 Just back from a lovely stay at Pilgrims Way.

This was our 2nd stay our first was in 2012.

We arrived just after 8pm on Friday evening and were quickly shown to our pitch which was plenty big enough for our new tent.

The pitch was surrounded by trees which meant we couldn't get our digital radio to work plus apples dropped down on to the tent and car quite regularly which was a bit of a nuisance. I would definitely request a different pitch the next time we go.

That said these were only minor issues and everything else was great.

Showers were really powerful as well as being lovely and hot. The owners care about cleanliness and the floor in the wc/shower area was cleaned twice in one morning. Very impressed.

It was very quiet in terms of other campers which surprised us as it is a great location for getting out and about.

It is relatively close to a road but you don't tend to notice it after a while.

The owners were great on our last day as it was raining heavily so we couldn't get offsite by the 11am deadline. When we apologised their response was 'don't worry about it' which is pretty much their mantra for the stay and I mean that in a good way they really are lovely.

We will definitely return and won't leave it three years.

 Well equipped site, fantastic service from owners who were very helpful, dog sitting service is brilliant if you need a few hours to yourselves, great location for Boston or Skegness, lovely local walks, nearest pub half a mile, good for couples or families, definitely recommended and we will be going back

 FANTASTIC SITE, It does exactly what it says on the tin. The Lay out is very well thought out, giving each pitch its own Privacy without giving total exclusion, The grounds are well kept, Showers & toilets very clean, and are cleaned at sensible times, causing no inconvenience to the user. As a Family we described our visit as more like staying with friends, Jacqui and partner were wonderful hosts, very helpful and attentive, its location very handy with local amenities very accessible. I would HIGHLY recommend this site. We will definitely be returning when next in the area.

Its a Credit to you Jacqui. We cant applaud you enough.

 Just got back from a 2 night break at this very family friendly site. On arrival was greeted at the gate by Jacqui the owner and shown to our pitch which had its own water supply. Jacqui was very friendly and helpful, our pitch was near the front of the site but wasn't a problem as the impeccably clean toilet and shower block was only a short walk away. My son and niece loved playing on the trampoline and in the playground which had a slide and swing, also has a baby seat for the swing available on request. Our pitch was hedged all round which gave us a bit of privacy if wanted or required. Overall a very clean and friendly site and will definitely be returning. Thank you Jacqui for making our stay with you enjoyable

Reviewer: Peggy546 3 reviews from this member

 Arrival: You have to park up outside the barrier for the site which is very close to the road so there would be a bit of trouble if more than one party arrived at once. We were greeted by Jacqui when we arrived and despite us being there just before 12pm she was very helpful giving us advice on the best pitch to choose.

When we went to pay we were told that they did not accept cards (only cash or cheque). This was not made clear to us when we booked and was a great inconvenience.

Pitches: They are nice and private surrounded by hedges and trees with some having their own water taps (although the one on our pitch had very low water pressure and it took an age to fill the barrel!). Due to the weather during our stay all the external taps were frozen from the Sunday onwards so we had to use the taps in the laundry room. !

Toilet/Shower block: The website describes the facilities as 'Luxury shower and toilet block (5 star rated) fully centrally heated' but our experience was far from this and we were very surprised at the high rating received from the tourism organisations. For the 3 nights we stayed I do not believe the toilets/showers were cleaned once - the shower in the family room had numerous clumps of matted hair on the floor and walls. They were there for the duration of our stay which we found unacceptable. My husband spoke to Jacqui about the lack of heating (it didn't appear to be on) and we were surprised at her response of 'I can put the heating on longer but you'd have to pay double'. There was a note on the door stating they were heated for frost protected during the winter but this is not conveyed on the website. The lighting sensor also appeared to be faulty since my husband ended up showering the dark! My children also told me that one of the toilet seats in the gents was broken.

I raised all these issues with Jacqui by email when we got home (as she wasn't around when we left) and whilst I received a response there was no apology or acknowledgement that we were concerned about the cleanliness of the toilet/shower block. Her email merely listed a number of points, one of which appeared to put the blame of the cleanliness on her warden who was apparently on duty during out stay but we never saw anyone.

Site Facilities: Due to the time of year that we stayed there wasn't anything going on but our boys did have a quick play on the small playground.

Whilst we appreciated that the site may not be as busy during the winter months the same level of service should be provided all year round (especially since they charge the same all year)or they shouldn't bother opening.

Location: Boston was about a 5 minute drive from the site and the RSPB wetlands were about 20 mins away.

We will not be visiting the site again and would certainly not recommend anyone to go - especially not in the winter months.
