Everything is perfect at these cottages. Usually stay in Maggies Mews but stayed in Katies 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 its heaven on earth. This is my third stay at these cottages and I am confident that it wont be the last. Thank you once again!

Stayed for a week, it was so convenient for my cousin's wedding and they really are pet-friendly, not just pet-tolerant! My dog got a warm welcome as well, and we loved the rural location and morning walks around the beautiful grounds. Thanks for a great experience, would love to visit 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, its so quiet and the site grounds are kept absolutely immaculate and is a real credit to Robert its also a great base for visiting all areas I can highly recommend Greetham Retreat and we will definitely be back, its

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 dcor 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. Wendys 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
