"Had an amazing break away from it all here."

So peaceful and well kept. Furnishings throughout were perfectly done and thought out with great facilities and lovely farm shops and places to visit locally. We recommend a tour of the 'Creswell Craggs' for a interesting and very picturesque trip out. Amazing view across the valley on a night. Turn all the lights out and enjoy an amazingly clear night sky and possibly see a shooting star from your hot tub with a glass of wine...Paradise. Would highly recommend Limetree glamping retreat and will be definitely visiting again.

It was so lovely to meet you both I think your timing was spot on as there were many meteors in the sky around the time,you stayed with us. Thank you for the great review it would be lovely to welcome you back one day. Property Owner

"We had such an amazing long-weekend in ‘Portland’."

The hosts literally could not have done more to make us feel welcome. 10 stars just for them. Another 10 for the property. The hut was beautifully clean and so stylishly decorated. Loved it. Everything you could possibly need is provided. Peaceful surroundings overlooking farmland with beautiful views from the hut and the hot tub. It’s pet and kids tree too so ideal if you want to get away from it all and just relax and indulge. Farm shop nearby and a we found a lovely cross-country walk from the village to Retford nearby, Lincoln is not far to drive either. Will definitely, definitely be back. Cannot wait.

Thank you for the amazing review we loved having you stay with us and can’t wait to welcome you back one day. Property Owner

"Our stay was perfect."

The lodge had everything we needed and was spotless. The aesthetic of the grounds as well as the interior was gorgeous and so well though out. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming, allowing us to feed the sheep before we left. Everyone was so helpful and made this retreat stress free. We loved the many features like the hot tub, the outdoor cold shower, the outdoor hob and log burner and the seating area under the canopy. Although not completely fenced off, the hut feels so private due to the gorgeous plants and trees surrounding. It was a perfect location and so peaceful. Me and my partner cooked dinner all 3 nights and had everything we needed to do so , so so happy with our stay and would definitely recommend to friends and family! Thankyou.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback it is very much appreciated we hope to see you again one day. Property Owner
