Tanya
September 2024

“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.

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

- Jennifer, September 2024

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
Nigel September 2024

“We had a lovely time at Great Leap.”

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

- Nigel, September 2024

It's lovely to hear you had an enjoyable holiday at Great Leap, and everything was up to standard for you. It's always very reassuring to hear our guests have enjoyed staying there. Thank you so much for your kind and positive feedback, it means a great deal to us. Property Owner
Coe September 2024

“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

- Coe, September 2024

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
Co July 2024

“The Chalet was really beautiful.”

Quiet area. Everything was well explained in the folder that the owners had made for us, they also all had folders of eateries, easy to find something. We would definitely recommend this place to others.

Brian May 2024

“A large, clean, comfortable lodge in a lovely quiet position close to woodlands.”

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.

- Brian, May 2024

Ellen January 2024

“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. Three generations of the Hatton Family, Janet, Ellen and William x x

- Ellen, January 2024

We are so pleased to hear you had a lovely holiday at Great Leap, and thank you for taking the time to write your kind and positive review. It gives us a lot of pleasure to know a guest has enjoyed their stay up at the cabin. Many apologies for the front door being stiff. We will ask our carpenter to go and sort out the problem straight away. Thank you :) Property Owner
Roger October 2023

“I think that the decking is being attended to this winter.”

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.

- Roger, October 2023

We’re so pleased you enjoyed staying at Great Leap and thank you for your kind feedback! As stated in the information folder, as part of our cycle of maintenance the decking is being refurbished in our closed season. We are also having a handrail fitted to assist guests. Hopefully this wasn’t too much of an inconvenience to you. Property Owner

Nicola August 2023

“Wonderful stay, the lodge is like a Tardis and the pictures do not do it justice!”

Would certainly stay again if in the area.

- Nicola, August 2023

Paul August 2023

“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.

- Paul, August 2023

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

“Beautiful lodge in a nice location well looked after and well maintained, will be booking again!”

- David, May 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It really does mean so much to us to know you have enjoyed your stay at Great Leap, and want to return. We very much look forward to welcoming you back again in the future Property Owner
Carol May 2023

“Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful lodge.”

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My only suggestion i have is to add a handrail on the steps leading to the doorway. We had both our elderly mums with us and they struggled a little up and down with having no handrail to hold onto. Lovely location and good base to visit local attractions from. Would certainly stay again!

- Carol, May 2023

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Great Leap, and thank you for your kind feedback. We were sorry to hear your elderly parents struggled with the steps a little and hope this didn’t cause too much inconvenience. Many thanks for suggesting we add a handrail. This is a very good idea, and we are now in the process of finding a carpenter to carry out the work. We would love to welcome you again at Great Leap in the future UPDATE DECEMBER 2023 - a handrail has now been fitted along with refurbished decking. Property Owner

A lovely lodge in a great spot on kenwick park We enjoyed our stay and loved the log fire as an added bonus through the winter months Would recommend it family and friends One slight issue was not enough hot water for two showers if using hot water through day and temperature on shower not hot enough so didn’t get chance to use jacuzzi bath

- Theresa, December 2022

Thank you so much for your positive feedback, and we are very pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at Great Leap over the Christmas period. We are sorry to hear you had some issues with the hot water, and we have asked the servicing team to look in to this to check everything is ok. Property Owner
Yvonne August 2022

“Fabulous lodge, clean and had everything we needed.”

Peaceful setting. Could benefit from a children's play area when families staying.

- Yvonne, August 2022

So pleased to hear you had a lovely holiday, and enjoyed staying at Great Leap. Property Owner
Paul August 2022

“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.

- Paul, August 2022

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
David August 2022

“Perfect location, the lodge was spotless clean had everything you needed for a relaxing and peaceful holiday, will definitely book this lodge again!”

- David, August 2022

We are so pleased you enjoyed your holiday, and found staying at Great Leap both comfortable and peaceful. Hopefully you will visit again, and thank you for your kind feedback. Property Owner
Tim July 2022

“We had a bit of a job to find cabin 83 on our 1st entry as it wasn’t signposted that well.”

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.

- Tim, July 2022

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
Barbara July 2022

“A beautifully kept and spacious Lodge, set within a quiet setting.”

The lodge was like a home from home, very comfortable and clean, and you couldn't ask for more. A gem to be savoured. Relaxing stay. In a central location for all days out to the coast, and situated near Louth itself, a lovely town

- Barbara, July 2022

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Great Leap, and found everything up to standard. Thank you very much for your kind feedback, and we would love to see you return in the future :) Property Owner
David May 2022

“The log cabin was ideal for a peaceful relaxing holiday, it was well presented, very comfortable and had everything that you needed, the only problem that we had was with the very slow internet, we had our two teenage grandchildren with us and they rely on this media, this also affected the tv such as netflix.”

This would not stop me coming back and would recommend the cabin to our family and friends.

- David, May 2022

It is lovely to know you enjoyed your holiday at Great Leap, and thank you for your kind review. We’re sorry you found the internet slow. We are at the moment along with other lodge owners looking in to trying mobile broadband which might allow us to achieve faster internet speeds and reliability within the woods. Property Owner
Andrew May 2022

“Throughly enjoyed it but is in an isolated position, Suited us but maybe to quiet for some.”

Lodge itself in one of the best locations and met all expectations

- Andrew, May 2022

Many thanks for your kind review, and we’re so pleased you had a lovely holiday at Great Leap. Like you we love the peace and quiet of the woods, and find it very relaxing! Property Owner

Really relaxing stay ,walks vists to the beach and shopping in louth the log cabin we stay is five star couldnt fault anything 2nd time we have stayed at great leap and definitely booking for next year thank you xx

- Donna, September 2021

Many thanks for your lovely review Donna. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay so much you chose to visit again. We’ve made a few improvements over our Winter closure by replacing the main bathroom and putting in a log burner. It’s always particularly special for us to welcome back regulars! We hope you return in the future! Thank you again. Property Owner
Jill August 2021

“The location and wraparound deck really made the holiday relaxing and magical.”

The only issue we had was the heaters. Some evenings there was an autumnal nip in the air and although we read the instructions we failed to get them working.

- Jill, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback, please accept our apologies for the complexity of the heating instructions, we only wish you had contacted us as we would have been happy to help you with this, please note that in November we will be adding a log burner fitted in the property for all future guests to enjoy. Property Owner
Mark July 2021

“The lodge we stayed in was massive.”

Lots of room to chill out. Outside decking is big too. The lodge is a mile down a single track road from the entrance to the county park. It is so quiet and the forest of trees make it beautiful. Will definitely book a holiday there again.

- Mark, July 2021

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Great Leap, and thank you for your kind review. We hope you return in the future! Property Owner
Diane July 2021

“We just needed an escape and somewhere to unwind after working throughout the pandemic, and this was perfect.”

Beautiful tranquil location in amongst the wildlife, yet the lodge was spacious and superbly equipped for a family of 5 plus dog. We could have lived in it quite comfortably. Good base for exploring Lincolnshire and some nice local walks too.

- Diane, July 2021

We are so pleased you found Great Leap a perfect place to relax after working through the pandemic. Thank you so much for your kind review. 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. Close by are city centre shops, restaurants and the marina. Make the most of quality time with your loved ones on an unforgettable holiday where memories will be made that last forever
