“Owners were very accommodating and let us get on with ehater we were doing.”

Not intrusive in any way. Beautiful house. And the local village had a pub and shops.

“We took our family for a long weekend-6 adults and 2 young children.”

We went for a long weekend as part of a birthday celebration... The Retreat is a lovely house, just not suitable for families-it is not child friendly as suggested. We had amazing weather for the time we were there. However, there was no outdoor living space suitable for a family of 8 to lounge/children to play. The Retreat is part of a large house, which the owners live in-we had allocated times 10:30-3 for pool/gym/hot tub use (as it was shared use with the owners) this meant that if we wanted to get out and about and make use of the pool we had to go out 1st thing or late afternoon- wasn’t ideal having restricted times. Our stay was Friday-Monday, during our stay a cherry picker and garden machinery were being used intermittently, we personally found this rather disturbing. I very nearly booked the Retreat for my husbands 60th as a surprise next year- really glad I didn’t now.

“Really enjoyed the weekend.”

The house was fantastic. Loved the pool and hot tub, it would of been nice if it was open maybe 5-7pm too, so the kids could jump in after being out all day. I would think we will be coming back as for two families meeting up for a chilled weekend, its perfect, loved it :)

“Amazing property and the pool is spectacular.”

Owners were v.friendly but not at all intrusive. Great location for a rural setting as there is a well stocked shop and two pubs just a short stroll away plus a fabulous hotel on your doorstep for more formal dining. Easy access to Lincoln City.

“We had a such a great stay at The Retreat - Highly recommend a stay here.”

We arrived later than expected due to traffic but was warmly greeted by the Owner and showed round. He suggested would we like a swim which we did. We settled in straight away and the house was so nice, very light and warm. The house, the games room & the pool were all so lovely and exceeded our expectations. We were very impressed by the quality and cleanliness of everywhere. . Had everything in the house you could need. We would definitely go again and recommend to our friends and family. The Owners were very accommodating and left us to enjoy a great long weekend.

“Amazing Property”

My family and I stayed in the Retreat for a week. We had the most amazing week. The owners were so welcoming and couldn't do enough for us to make us feel welcome. The swimming pool and jacuzzi were fantastic and the games room was a real bonus. The children had a fantastic time and my husband and I had a very relaxing week. The photographs don't do the Retreat justice. We will definitely be recommending the Retreat to our friends and family and would love to return.

The property

Lincoln 4 miles.

The Retreat is a beautifully-appointed property, covering over 2000 square feet across three levels and offering a taste of luxury including the opulent and indulgent leisure suite complete with an indoor heated 42ft swimming pool, hydro-spa and gym which are available for your exclusive daily use at set times of the day.

This stunning holiday home apartment was included in the Independent’s Best Holiday Cottages With Pools and is set over three floors making it ideal for those who want to surround themselves with luxury.

There is a lovely open plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and sitting area; this is the ideal area for preparing meals and relaxing over dinner whilst discussing what adventures are still to come on your fun-filled holiday.

The games room is sure to please everyone in your group, particularly the younger members who will love playing games of table football and table tennis.

Guests can step through the door into the pool room and feel that they could be in any 5 star hotel in the world, except there are no other guests!

After a busy day exploring this wonderful area, you will love retiring to one of the four comfortable bedrooms for a restful night’s sleep on premium 300 thread count 100% Egyptian cotton sheets.

The attractions of the historic city of Lincoln are just four miles away and following a fascinating day out in Lincoln, where history and independent boutiques line ancient cobbled streets, you will love returning to The Retreat for a relaxing evening.

Lincoln offers attractions throughout the year for all the family from music festivals, historic trail events, sausage festivals to Christmas markets.

There are theatres including the 19th century Lincoln Theatre Royal and Bailgate offers a unique shopping experience within one of the most historic parts of the Cathedral Quarter.

The quirky streets provide a fascinating insight into how life once was.

Nowadays the Quarter offers many specialist shops for lovers of clothes, books, gifts and not forgetting foodies with an abundance of tea rooms and restaurants.

Lincoln Cathedral is one of Europe's finest Gothic buildings and was once described by Victorian writer John Ruskin as "out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedral we have".

When the central spire was raised in 1300 it became the tallest building in the world, taking the title from the Great Pyramid of Giza.

The carvings are fascinating to see, in particular the famous Lincoln Imp!

The Cathedral owns one of only four surviving copies of Magna Carta signed in 1215 and is well worth a visit.

The Retreat is a wonderful holiday escape and one that will linger long in the memory.
