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.
