Located in the picturesque village of Alkborough, The Paddocks Tearoom and College Farm Glamping offer a delightful blend of rural hospitality and outdoor adventure. Set in a converted barn, the tearoom serves freshly prepared meals using local Lincolnshire produce, with options for breakfast, lunch, and homemade cakes. It’s a popular stop for walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers exploring the nearby Alkborough Flats Nature Reserve.
The tearoom is dog-friendly both inside and out, and welcomes cyclists, including larger groups with prior notice. Guests praise the friendly service, generous portions, and relaxed atmosphere. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options are available, and the venue is known for its hearty Farmers Breakfast and seasonal specials.
College Farm Glamping, located on the same site, features luxury pods suitable for couples, families, and dog owners. Each pod includes beds, heating, and access to showers and toilets. The site is ideal for birdwatching, walking, and cycling, with scenic views of the Humber, Ouse, and Trent rivers. Normanby Hall and its Go Ape course are just 10 minutes away.
Whether stopping by for a latte and cake or staying overnight in a glamping pod, The Paddocks and College Farm provide a peaceful and welcoming escape in the heart of North Lincolnshire’s countryside.
