Children under 16 must be supervised by an adult at all times in both bars, the patio area and the adjoining games room.
No outside food or drink, with the exception of baby food, are allowed. Warming facilities for bottles and baby food are available, please ask a member of staff.
Shower Block and Toilets
We provide shower and toilet facilities for exclusive use of guests on our camping site. This includes three coin-operated showers, separate Male and Female toilets and one unisex disabled toilet. Our staff regularly monitor and clean these facilities on a daily basis. If these facilities are not to your standard please speak to a member of staff.
Due to the limited number of facilities available it is important that you leave the showers in a reasonable condition after use and not cause any damage, either directly or indirectly, to the units or the changing areas. Any items found in the shower or changing areas will be disposed of. Hot water is provided using gas cylinders and may run out due to heavy demand. Please inform a member of staff if hot water is not available.
All our toilet facilities run into a septic tank and during peak times may fill up faster than expected. Please notify a member of staff if you find any of the facilities blocked or overflowing. We ask for your understanding during these occasions and we will endeavour to have the tanks emptied as soon as possible.
Please be kind to our Septic Tank. Do not flush feminine hygiene products, nappies, baby/sanitary/flushable wipes or rubbish down our toilets or toilets in yours/our caravans.
Electric Hook-up (EHU)
Electric Hook-up (EHU) facilities are available as optional extra for a set price per night. Our EHU is supplied at 230V which should be compatible with most UK and European caravans, motorhomes, trailer tents and tent hook-up connections. The supply can be used directly to power 230V appliances or indirectly through a power supply unit that converts the mains power to 12V DC.
Our Electrical supply for EHU is suppled at 10A which gives 2.3kW in power ( 230V x 10A = 2,300 W or 2.3kW). Our supply is designed on the basis of diversity so that the main site supply is geared up to an average electrical usage not all hook-ups taking 10A at one time.
Guests must ensure that they keep within the limits of our supply to prevent a loss of supply should a circuit breaker trip. You should not use high-energy consuming devices for prolonged periods or time or multiple devices at once. Where possible please use specially adapted camping electronics which are available from most camping and caravan dealers. We’ve provided some common examples below. The power ratings are indicative only and provide a rough average for the type of appliance listed; we have also include camping variants where possible. We’ve calculated Amps using W/V = A: for example 2000/230 = 8.7 (1DP).
| Appliance | Power (W) | CURRENT (A) |
|---|---|---|
| Domestic Kettle | 2000 | 8.7 |
| Camping Kettle | 750 | 3.3 |
| Domestic Fan Heater 1kW | 1000 | 4.4 |
| Domestic Fan Heater 2kW | 2000 | 8.7 |
| Camping Fan Heater | 750 | 3.3 |
| 32″ LCD/LED/QLED TV | 50 | 0.2 |
| 32″ OLED TV | 60 | 0.3 |
| Refrigerator | 135 | 0.6 |
| Hair Dryer | 1500 | 6.5 |
| Straighteners | 100 | 0.4 |
| Toaster | 1200 | 5.2 |
| Electric Grill | 1250 | 5.4 |
| Electric Portable Hob | 1200 | 5.2 |
Staying on a site using a 230V supply requires more care than that at home this is due to the fact there is a greater chance of things going wrong with the electrical installation than with a fixed home installation. All guests must ensure that their cables and appliances are maintained in good condition, regularly check every time they are used and serviced by a suitably qualified technician.
Rose & Crown (Holbeach) Ltd are responsible for the safety of the electrical supply equipment up to the socket outlet on the site bollard where you connect your hook-up cable. We will ensure that our equipment is regularly serviced by a qualified technician.
Guests are responsible for the safety of their hook-up cable and accommodation’s electrical installation. As Rose & Crown (Holbeach) Ltd is ultimately responsible for safety across the site, guests acknowledge that our employees are empowered to disconnect EHU should they be found to not be conforming to our recommendations or connected in an unsafe manner.
When connecting to the EHU guests must use an EHU Connector and an extension at least 10 meters in length as you may not be sited directly next to a EHU point. Only one EHU is permitted to be connected per accommodation. Do not allow children to play around the EHU point or supply cable or allow them to connect or disconnect supplies.
Guests staying in tents or using awnings with EHU must be aware of the risks posed. The key consideration is that water and electricity do not mix, and tents and awnings are typically damp places. Even small amounts of water or condensation cam cause an electrical supply to trip, start a fire or electrocution. Guests must keep all electrical appliances off the ground and be prepared to stop using electricity when conditions are damp. Electrical appliances must only be used when someone is present and when not appliances must be unplugged and socket outlet covered.
Any loss of supply must be reported to a member of our team as soon as possible. If the loss of supply is because you have overloaded the circuit or misused your equipment then we reserve the right to charge to restore your electricity supply.
Chemical Waste Disposal
Guests on our camping pitches can make use of our chemical waste disposal point and should only use it to dispose of the contents of chemical toilets.
Swimming Pool
Our swimming pool will open at 10 am and will close at either 7 pm or dusk depending on which is sooner each day.
Our Swimming Pool is open to all guests and is unattended. The booking owner is responsible for their guests and children must be supervised at all times.
We do not allow any food and drink in the Swimming Pool.
Only food or drink purchased at our Bar & Restaurant is allowed on the patio area surrounding the pool area.
All swimming pool rules must be adhered to at all times.
