Well what can I say. Brilliant site. Owners and warden were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. Very clean and tidy site. This was our 1st visit and will deff be returning !
Nice children's play area and also trampoline. Lots of benches dotted around and visitors also have the use of a Barbecue.
Lovely clean toilets, plenty of hot water. Theres also A lovely chippy just down the road !
The site is lovely, small quiet, well kept with delightful owners. The hens greet you when you arrive but soon lose interest. There is a small children's play area, with slide, swings and a 3ft scramble wall. Next to this is a trampoline (must be 12ft).
Dedicated sinks for washing up with hot water, loos and showers very clean, laundry area as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our night there and will be booking longer next time.
There is a separate camping field as well as grass and gravel pitches, which they allow tents on.
Agree with all positive comments on this site as regards peacefulness, cleanliness and welcoming site. In a secluded area just off the road surrounded by trees. The hens seem to be over inquisitive though with one or two entering the motorhome. Area flat so good for cycling,an hourly bus can be hailed at the campsite entrance to Boston, last bus back 1815. The local pub Red Cow 10 mins. Walk down the road will do food by prior arrangement with the landlady the night before and does local real ales. Two other pubs in Frieston that is possible to cycle to. Paid £17.50 a night for two with ehu.
My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights as I had been here before last year and remembered it for its' peacefulness. We weren't disappointed. The well-kept grounds are lovely and free-roaming chickens and cats notwithstanding, we really enjoyed our nights here.
Nightingale pitch is a really good 'secluded' spot for tents. Two minor comments, the gravel was really noisy to walk on at night when going to the toilet block. Perhaps having either a grassed path at the side or paving stones to walk on would be more sleeping-campers friendly. The other comment - I didn't realise birds were so loud in the morning!
Seriously though, we would really recommend this site to anybody, particularly families.
Lovely little campsite and a great find! Had a 3 night Easter break which the whole family enjoyed. The owners were very pleasant, sociable and offered help and assistance whenever required.
Loved the evening campfire and barbecue with the owners and campers as this proved to be a great ice-breaker and brought everyone together for a nice gathering.
The children's Easter Bonnet competition and the Easter Egg hunt were a brilliant idea which was thoroughly enjoyed by my own and other children.
This accompanied by the play area and roaming chickens which could be openly fed meant young children were actively entertained on site.
Will be going back as this is a lovely welcoming site which is great for a short, get away from it all break!
Pilgrims way is a great site with good facilities,the lady owner is very helpful and will even give you a hand to pitch your unit. Toilets and showers are very well kept. Plenty of water points. Half gravel half grass pitches which will be great in the drier weather. The site is very quiet even the pitches close to the road. Dog exercising can be done in the next lane 100metres from site. The pub in the village is called brown cow about a ten minute walk, dog friendly, no food. Heading in the other direction is a pub called the ball inn, approx 2miles away, no dogs, good food and beer, its only a £5.00 taxi ride.
What a fantastic site. We've stayed here now, mainly for weekends, for the length of time Jacqui and Peter has had the site. Both the hosts are fabulous not only understanding but also for a good laugh.
The work they do for the weekend do's is becoming legendary.
Come to the site, relax, do your own thing, enjoy the girls (chickens) and have your own secluded pitch.
All the facilities are first class, never run out of hot water while I've been there. All the grass and trees are well trimmed and the site is always pristine.
Boston is only a few miles away with it's connection to the Pilgrim Fathers and the only woolsack outside the houses of Parliament.
Skegness is only a few miles away as are walks along the Witham as it winds it's way to the Wash.
Have just left this site this morning after four days of pure relaxation. It was a pre new year reccy. Took wife, rugrat, and 70 yr old aunt. We all had a fantastic time. Saturday night there was an organised fire pit, get together with nibbles and wine and what ever you took with you, with good intelligent conversation, well until the alcohol kicked in anyway. There is nothing that we personally could say negative about our stay, the owners Jaquie and Peter are a fantastic couple who obviously love doing what they do best, and that is running this site. Although it was relatively a very quiet weekend, all those others there, I believe had as much enjoyment as us. The local pub the Ball house is a excellent place to eat and drink, with very friendly staff and Steve and Vicky (Landlords) kept a very good beer and sociable establishment, we decided to go back to the site again. This weekend coming in fact, so I left my van there to save dragging it home again for the sake of two days, and have also booked for over the new year. So as 3 other families that we met there this first trip. Fantastic but don't want to say any more because you will all want to go.
FANTASTIC 5 stars for this one. So good went back again within 14 days. Excellent small site no pub/club etc but the owners do arrange different activities like bbqs etc, talking of owners they are very friendly and accommodating. Recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing peaceful stay. Great for kids very safe with small play area, trampoline and key code gate. Chickens walking around is also a novelty for the kids. No on-site shop but shop 5 minute drive away close to Boston town centre. Toilets/showers spotless and warm. No bad points as far as I am concerned. Will be going back again no question.
Just returned from a fantastic few days at Pilgrim's Way. It is like no other campsite I've ever stayed in and it is fantastic. We stayed at probably the busiest weekend of the year (August Bank Holiday) but it didn't feel overcrowded. We had a fantastic pitch that was enclosed on three sides by tall hedges, so we felt like we had out own space.
The facilities are immaculate with free hot showers and the dishwashing are was also spot on. There was even a family shower room, which with 3 little ones, is just great! The children's play area is also really good.
Peter and Jacqui are really friendly and really accommodating and nothing seems to much trouble.
I would highly recommend this site and we will definitely be returning next year.
This park really is lovely! Just returned from a bank holiday trip there, and can't wait to book next year. The site is the cleanest, best kept I have ever been to, with very friendly owners, Peter and Jacqui who live on site.
The site is only small, and although full, it didn't feel over crowded. The toilet block was always spotless, with hardly any queues. There is also a family shower room, which was great, so we could all go in together.
The play area and trampoline were a big hit with our son, there was also a little playhouse on the camping field he loved. It felt really safe, and if he was a bit older, would have been fine to let him go off playing on his own.
On the Saturday night Jacqui and Peter did a great job with the summer prom, the food and entertainment were spot on!
The local area is nice, loads of pubs everywhere, and Boston surprised us, it was mush bigger and nicer than I expected. Visited the RSPB nature reserve 5 mins away who had a children's day on, had a lovely walk round there.
Can't wait to return next year, well done to Jacqui and Peter on creating such a wonderful, relaxing retreat!
This site has been pretty well described by previous reviewers, and on the Pilgrims Way website itself. We couldn't agree more with all the positive things that have been said concerning the ambience, peace, and general loveliness of this site, which was a real pleasure to visit and stay at.
Our visit didn't get off to as good a start as we'd have hoped, as the pitch offered was only marginally bigger than the tent dimensions we'd given over the phone. Not enough room left to walk around it to peg it, let alone guy it. So we were eventually offered a pitch on the communal site, which turned out to be absolutely perfect. Lesson learned - always check the pitch dimensions when booking!
As a family, we simply loved this site, and Peter and Jacqui's approach to running a campsite is unlike any other we've ever stayed at. We felt like guests. They and their helpers, Karen and Carl, were approachable, and - well suffice it to say we stayed for 3 weeks, and only felt more and more comfortable. It really was a wrench to come back to normality!
Having fair to moderate mobility problems, I do tend to look at sites from a slightly different angle from most reviews. I hope always to be constructive and not overly critical; but there is one particular area where improvements on this site are needed. We chose Pilgrims Way not only because of what it offered to us as a family, but because it also advertised disabled facilities, which sadly have to play an important part in our decision-making process when choosing sites to stay at these days. This site is unfortunately not very suitable for anyone with moderate or worse mobility problems.
There are two main areas which with a bit of thought can be brought up to scratch to make this a really accessible site. Firstly, as described on the website, all the paths/roadways are covered in gravel. This is a particularly coarse gravel, in some places very deep, and walking on it without sticks on a good day it was like trying to plough through a stony pebbly beach. My mobility scooter simply wouldn't have coped with it. When using my sticks, I had to go very slowly because they kept hitting loose stones and skating out from under me. A gravel-free walkway to one side of, or even down the middle of, the roadways around the site would be a vast improvement. As it was, there were some days when I had to be driven to and from the toilet block.
The second area which was problematical were the toilet facilities. The family shower room that has been mentioned in previous reviews, was originally a dedicated disabled toilet and shower room, and while I feel comfortable sharing facilities in this way, there will be some disabled people for whom this will make the site inaccessible. The far greater problems lie with the toilet and shower cubicle themselves.
The toilet is of standard height, with a pull-down support bar to the right of it. It has been fitted with a fixed bolster cushion so that anyone needing support while they sit is as comfortable as possible. But, and this is a huge BUT - this is also the only toilet in the entire block with a lid. Result - well it's simply impossible to use on a bad day. The bolster stops the lid from going fully back, so it has to be held up while someone manoeuvres themselves onto the loo, and it rests on their back for the duration of their visit. Getting on and off the toilet while holding the lid with one hand is bad enough for a fully able-bodied person; if you're trying to lever yourself up with the support bar on one side, a walking stick on the other, and hold the lid up at the same time as trying to keep your clothes dry and off the wet floor - well it's impossible. And of course the bolster cushion itself is rendered entirely useless because the lid gets in the way of the cushioning. To sort this out, all that's needed is the simple removal of the toilet lid. Better still would be replacing the seat with a raised one (my hips would love that!) something like £15 from Argos.
The flooring is a less easy and cheap problem to resolve. The shower has an unmarked step down into it, as in fact do all the showers in the block. There are no warning signs, and the step itself is difficult to see in the low natural light that is available to this cubicle. The entire floor of the shower and loo room is tiled, and becomes excessively slippery when wet, something that was unavoidable if more than one person was using the facilities at a time. This was, for me, the only problem caused by allowing family use of the room - it was simply impossible to keep the floor dry, and walking across it after even 2 people had showered was a nightmare. Again there were grab rails in the shower cubicle itself, but no drop-down seat, which one would expect to see in facilities offered to disabled users. A plastic garden chair was available, but this is unsuitable to use in a shower due to instability and hygiene among other things.
Finally the taps in the wash-basin were the push-down sort that only operate while pushed. Again these were horribly difficult to use on a bad day - they didn't have delays on them, whereby they could run for several seconds after being pushed. If you stop pushing, they stop running, so you can only rinse one soapy hand at a time. Sometimes my hands were just too weak to operate them so I had to wash my hands in the general ladies loos where some of the taps did have a delay. Sorry but I don't know how much it would cost to replace these taps with lever ones, but it would be an investment well worth making.
On the whole these problems didn't stop me enjoying myself nor from staying for 3 weeks; but they did teach me important Lesson No 2 which is to check what shape any disabled facilities are in before booking. I would - and already have! - thoroughly recommend this site to friends and family alike; but I couldn't honestly recommend it to disabled visitors as it currently stands.
We've just returned from a week staying at Pilgrim's Way. I know the review advice says stay objective but I thought there was something magical about this place. I grew up on rougher camping and initially thought that this site was slightly over-manicured. However, within a few days I felt like I'd fallen under a spell: it was such a relaxing place to stay and the week flew by.
The children absolutely loved being able to run around and made loads of friends. The showers, toilets and wash-up areas were impeccable. There is a washing machine and tumble drier that are slightly costly to use.
There is no shop - apart from eggs, jam, lollies and gas - but to me that's a good thing because it's not all done for you. There are a couple of good mini-markets about five minutes away.
The pitch space was good but things got quite cosy at weekends on the communial pitches - however, it was never invasive. There are secluded, individual pitches which you can request when you book.
We made four trips to local beaches ranging from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours away. No beaches on the doorstep but that didn't spoil the stay.
Peter and Jacqui were welcoming, friendly and helpful.
I'd definitely recommend it as a site to visit. I imagine we'll be back for another holiday there at some point in the future.
We stayed one night on this site as we were travelling from a weekend's racing at Cadwell Park to Norfolk. After a quick call we were met by Jacqui who showed us to our pitch. This is one of those sites you would dream about, compact, private, not overlooked by the road and very private pitches of equal gravel and grass surrounded by hedgerows on three sides. In our short stay we confined ourselves to topping up our batteries before moving on but we can vouch for the toilet facilities they are superb and having seen the children's area and communal BBQs these are the sought of facilities other sites should look to copying, in a word outstanding. If we holiday in this area in the future this site would be top of the list
As soon as you pass the barrier and enter Pilgrims Way your stress levels seem to go down to zero. I was met by Jacqui who showed me my pitch and also helped me unhook and manoeuvre my trailer tent. I had a lovely pitch with good hardstanding and a nice grass area with hedges for shelter. They have worked hard to make this site great and it shows. From the well manicured hedges and grass areas no litter through to the spotless washing up areas and hot showers and nice clean toilets. Most of the people staying on the site were return visitors and I cant blame them as I will definitely be going back. On my last night Peter and Jacqui came over with a glass of wine and chatted for an hour. As I was on my own this was much appreciated. I can also recommend the Ball House Inn for a nice Sunday lunch which was only 5 mins away in the car. If you are looking for a great little site with friendly owners and a warm welcome then look no further.
