  • "A lovely large lodge in the woods surrounded by wildlife and great dog walks."

    We enjoyed sitting on the veranda in the morning sunshine, (when it was sunny!), having coffee and breakfast. Log burner in the evenings made the cottage very cosy. Good location for the coast and also for inland attractions including a brilliant day in Lincoln plus a visit to RAF Collingwood and the excellent Battle of Britain Museum.

    We're so pleased to hear you had a lovely holiday at Great Leap, and thank you for your kind review. We would love to welcome you again in the future. Property Owner

    The lodge was amazing very comfortable for six and a dog The setting is magnificent probably the best location on the site The only difficulty we faced was the poor internet as we couldn’t even use our phones

    We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your holiday at Great Leap, and consider ourselves very lucky to have one of the best locations in the wood. Equally we’re very sorry you struggled with mobile reception in the woods. Due to the location of being in a wood may hamper reception, although I know I have no problem with EE on an iPhone making calls, so perhaps this is an issue with larger parties. In the closed season we are going to look at this issue and try and have a booster added to see if this works. Apologies for any inconvenience. Property Owner

    This enormous cabin is so well equipped and appointed. Wonderful to be somewhere so peaceful with skies so clear it seemed every star was visible

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our week."

    As three elderly friends we found the cabin comfortable and restful. We had a problem with the WiFi but was soon rectified by a short phone call. Also we were unable to connect the t.v. To the free box. No problem as what is a week without t.v. Hopefully we will be able to book again next year. Thank you Chris, Carol and John

    We are very pleased to hear you had an enjoyable week at Great Leap, but sorry to hear you struggled with the TV. It probably required a reboot and full instructions are in the guest information booklet, or failing that we or the servicing team would have been happy to help you. We will review the instructions and see if we can make them clearer to avoid further issues. We apologise for any inconvenience this caused you, and hope you visit us again. Property Owner

    It was equipped with everything we needed for our stay & had comfy beds & plenty of hot water. The jacuzzi bath was very enjoyable too. Nice walks around the area & we saw lots of wildlife just outside the lodge -muntjac deer, a fox, rabbits, a woodpecker, a barn owl & heard tawny owls late in the evening & of course lots of squirrels!. It is situated within easy reach of the coastal resorts - Skegness , Mablethorpe etc & also places like Lincoln & Grimsby. We would be happy to make a return visit to Great Leap.

  • "We had a lovely holiday at Great Leap."

    The cabin was very warm, clean and homely. Everything is provided for a great stay. The location is perfect with lovely views from all the windows. We loved going into Louth (a 5 minute drive away) which has lots of lovely little shops, pubs. cafes and places to eat. Our only slight issue was the front door, very stiff and seems to stick at the bottom!! This did not in any way spoil our perfect holiday. Thanks for providing a fantastic holiday home.

    May I suggest a hand rail is added to the stairs for elderly guests; my parents struggled a little bit. Excellent cabin nonetheless, amazing TADIS in the woods.

    We’re so pleased you enjoyed staying at Great Leap and thank you for your kind feedback!

  • "An absolutely lovely property in a quite and peaceful location."

    We have now visited this property twice and enjoyed both weeks at the property. The only downside, is that it receives a poor mobile network signal (at least across two networks) so contact with the "outside world" is unpredictable should you need to contact family or friends. The included wifi network is also poor, as it also uses a recognised mobile provider, so this form of communication is also unpredicatable. Apart from that, a recommended property.

    We are so pleased you have visited Great leap again and had another enjoyable holiday. Thank you for your kind feedback. Regarding telecoms, the main issue is that we are in a wood, and the nearest mast is the other side of a hill. Constantly we are looking to improve the internet connection, along with the other lodge owners, but it is a challenge. I use an iPhone with EE as a provider and I can use my phone 24/7 with no problems, but my husband finds it more difficult with his phone on EE, but he has a BlackBerry!!! We also have few issues with using Netflix etc when there are just the two of us, so possibly larger groups using media create more of a challenge. I do assure you though that we are constantly looking at ways to address this. Property Owner

  • "Excellent property in a lovely setting."

    Only negative point was the poor stregnth of the wifi. This combined with difficulties in getting a mobile signal in the wooded area meant that communication with the outside world was very sporadic.

    Lovely to hear you enjoyed staying at Great Leap, and found the woodland setting to your liking. Sadly the issues with the WiFi are a consequence of being in the middle of woodland. With just two of us staying there we don’t have issues, and can easily use Netflix and get good internet connection, but clearly it is more challenging with larger groups. The landline for WiFi gave a weaker signal, so only recently we’ve moved to a mobile WiFi connection. Property Owner

    Also the main gate code number given on our e-mail was incorrect. A bit frustrating as we kept trying. Fortunately someone arrived and had a different code number that worked. We used this for the rest of our stay. Wi-Fi wasn’t brilliant. Overall though the place was 1st class and we would stay again for sure.

    Many apologies for the difficulties you had at the barrier and locating Great Leap. I shall check with Sykes as to what information they are sending out to guests. We have been there only today and the same barrier code I have issued Sykes with was working perfectly well for us. On the information to send out to guests there is a google search and a full description on how to locate the lodge. Again I do apologise for any inconvenience and frustration this caused you during your stay, and I shall contact Sykes. Thank you Property Owner

About the location

LOUTH

Mablethorpe 15 miles; Skegness 23 miles; Lincoln 26 miles.

When ready to discover the very best that the area has to offer, grab your walking boots and head for the Lincolnshire Wolds – a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; or embark on a bracing hike along the Viking Way or nearby Hubbard’s Hills. You can enjoy a beach day at any time of year on the vast beaches of the north Lincolnshire coast – Theddlethorpe or Moggs Eye are good places to start. For something a bit more lively try any of the well-known coastal resorts – Cleethorpes, Sutton-on-Sea and Skegness. A 45 minute drive takes you to Fantasy Island theme park at Ingoldmells, where you can ride thrilling rollercoasters or just enjoy the faces of your family and friends riding them! The Georgian market town of Louth is a hidden gem. The town is blessed with a wide range of independent shops and eateries. For something cultural, visit the halls of the Louth Museum, or take a look round the impressive medieval parish church with its famous spire.Nature lovers will love local nature reserves a Red Hill, Snipe Dales, and the internationally important Donna Nook and Gibraltar Point reserves. All the family will love the birds of prey at Rushmoor Farm Park & Falconry Centre, and the exotic menagerie at Woodside Wildlife Park. A visit to Lincoln is a must. Take a walk up Steep Hill – browse the shops, eateries and pubs up this historic route (take your time, it’s called ‘Steep for a reason). When you reach the summit, you have the opportunity to visit the historic castle and the world famous cathedral (see if the kids can spot the elusive Lincoln Imp). Once you’ve made your way back down the hill, reward yourself with a drink or meal beside Brayford Pool marina! Further afield you can take a trip across the impressive Humber bridge, and spend a day in Hull at ‘The Deep’ Aquarium, one of the largest in the country.
