We dreamt of running a holiday business together and felt strongly about incorporating nature and the Great British countryside into our venture - even though we were both townies and had no experience or knowledge of wildlife and conservation! We found a redundant barn in Lincolnshire in 2007. Although the area had little biodiversity and the barn itself was dilapidated and overrun with pigeons, the site was bursting with potential.
With small grants and advice from Lincolnshire Wolds Countryside Service and Lincolnshire County Council, we were able to create a wildlife pond, purchase seed for a wildflower meadow, and plant 650 native trees. We created and built our top quality self catering holiday accommodation and caravan site businesses from scratch, using nature and wildlife to promote and improve what we now offer.

Everything is perfect at these cottages. Usually stay in Maggie’s Mews but stayed in Katie’s corner this time. Just as meticulously clean and comfortable. Standards throughout these cottages is first class. Rob and Jeanette think of everything to make your stay as comfortable as it can be and are on hand if you have any problems. Add to that the fabulous scenery that surrounds you and it’s heaven on earth. This is my third stay at these cottages and I am confident that it won’t be the last. Thank you once again! 😊

Lovely warm welcome as usual. We love our accomodations in Wendy's Wing.
The view from our door was beautiful. Lovely green lawn inviting us to walk along it. Upwards between the beautiful wild flower meadow, which could also be seen from our door along with trees. Walking round the lake we saw a heron at one end. Wood pigeons and smaller birds could be seen flying around the woodland. There are interesting places within driving distance. There are leaflets available for guests use.

We stayed at Greetham Retreat for 5 nights from last Monday the 16th of August and during the 1st day Robert came to see us and was really welcoming, and gave us the best informative talk of the site, eating places, beaches, places to walk the dog etc that we have ever had. The site is a real jewel of a CL, with 5 hard standing pitches and one grass pitch all with electric, it’s so quiet and the site grounds are kept absolutely immaculate and is a real credit to Robert it’s also a great base for visiting all areas I can highly recommend Greetham Retreat and we will definitely be back, it’s

Peaceful location. The site is very clean & well kept. There's a short dog walk through trees and benches positioned overlooking the pond which is pleasant. We didn't use the shower or toilet on site, as although permitted, it appeared to us that the owner would prefer that we didn't use them due to Covid. There isn't a shop, pub or town in walking distance from Greetham CL so if you are visiting in a campervan and prefer to leave the van on its pitch and explore on foot then maybe this isn't the site for you.

The accommodation was stunning, and has been tastefully decorated, with lovely pictures and décor throughout. The attention to detail in the restoration and conversion of the building was incredible. The owners have really considered and thought about the many different aspects of your stay. My wife is reliant on her mobility scooter, and we had access to an allocated disabled parking space nearby. Wendy’s Wing is all on the ground floor, with a ‘wet room’ bathroom. Additional mobility aids were provided to facilitate our stay. Other additional requests were catered for, to ensure our adherence

We have just had another relaxing week at this wonderful CL site and always enjoy the surroundings. The wooded area has developed really well providing a habitat for many birds and insects and the wildflower meadow was full of colour, again attracting many insects. The pond is alive with a variety of fish and a family of geese. Covid rules are very well signed and the owners, Rob and Jeanette, are always helpful and are constantly making sure the site and cottages are well kept.

We loved staying at Greetham Retreat with our sons aged 8 & 6 years old. Maggie's Mews and the whole grounds are beautiful and the owners very welcoming & helpful. Loved sitting on the sunny patio watching the resident geese in the evening and the flowers on our windowsill smelled amazing all week. Thank you for a lovely stay. Highly recommended.

For some reason the review I did yesterday has uploaded incorrectly.
Greetham retreat is a lovely little 5 caravan CL site also with self catering cottages. It is an immaculately kept site with great attention to detail. We felt very safe with the Covid rules that had been put in place.
The information room was brilliant for us as there were leaflets giving local walks and bike rides (we did use our tandem) around the area, so many that we will definitely have to come back again to do them all! A quiet and perfect site for a relaxing holiday.

Really lovely relaxing stay at Katie's Corner.
We stayed for the weekend as a family of 6, 2 adults and 4 kids and there was plenty of space for all of us.
The Owners met us on arrival which was a really nice personal touch and they showed us how everything worked.
There were also some lovely welcome gifts, the plum loaf was delicious! Thank you!!
All linen and towels were provided and I really appreciated things like tea towels, fairy liquid and dish washer tablets already being there.
The kids made good use of the WIFI and the games available in reception. I can't recommend this place enough
