Amazing venue, relaxing vacation, beautiful location.
Thank you for your lovely feedback Lorraine! It’s great to hear you had a relaxing and enjoyable stay at Great Leap.
Great Leap is an awesome lodge and the whole family enjoyed our stay.
It is central for a number of days out but also great for relaxing in and around. The property is well equipped, comfortable and spacious. If this is the kind of break you are looking for we can wholeheartedly recommend Great Leap.
We are so pleased to hear you had a lovely stay at Great Leap! Thank you so much for your kind feedback Gavin, it really means a lot to us, and would love to welcome you back in the future.
The cabin is in a quiet area.
The exterior and interior are very welcoming. There was a lovely welcome basket in the kitchen. There were nice Christmas decorations throughout, including a tree. There is a folder with information. The heaters worked well and the log fire was very cosy. The jacuzzi bath is a nice touch. The beds are comfortable. Overall, I would recommend the cabin to others. A lovely getaway any time of year. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback Bob, it’s very much appreciated. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Great Leap and were warm and cosy during your stay on a very cold week! We use the property too, and it’s always lovely to hear our guests have enjoyed it as much as we do. We would love to welcome you back in the future Bob!
We have stayed at a few lodges at this park, and 'Great Leap' is certainly at the top, it has everything you could think of, beautiful setting, very clean and comforting accommodation, very spacious.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Great Leap Martyn, and we very much appreciate your very kind and positive feedback. We would love to welcome back in the future.
Lovely lodge stayed here several times before,in a nice location and easy for sightseeing in the local area.
Thank you David for your positive feedback. It’s lovely you chose to stay at Great Leap again, and it’s always special to welcome back our regulars. We very much hope you will visit us again in the future.
Super large lodge,beautiful surroundings and position, very quiet with nice dog walks through the woods within a few yards.
Very clean and well stocked with large comfy beds. Ken. Christine
Thank you so much for your kind, positive feedback Ken. We always love to welcome our regulars back to Great Leap, and enjoy sharing the cabin with guests who enjoy it as much as us!
Absolutely beautiful we will be booking again very soon.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback James, it really means a lot to us. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Great Leap and we would love to welcome you back in the future.
As a family of four we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Great Leap lodge for the past month.
The lodge is very spacious, comfortable and amazingly well equipped. The location in the woods is fabulous, a large terrace, lovely seating area and gets lots of sunshine. Whilst surrounded by trees there is plenty of open space as well. Louth is a lovely market town surrounded by the picturesque Lincolnshire Wolds as well as being close to east coast seaside towns and lots of other activities. We would thoroughly highly recommend this holiday lodge and would not hesitate to stay there again.
We are so pleased that you’ve had an enjoyable and comfortable stay at Great Leap, and we very much appreciate your very kind and positive feedback Suzanne. It’s lovely that you enjoyed the cabin’s prime location in the woods and liked nearby Louth and the seaside resorts close by. We would love to welcome you back another time!
The lodge was beautiful as were the surroundings.
As country folk ourselves we loved the pictures of the animals which decorate the walls throughout! It has everything we needed for a very enjoyable, restful stay.
Thank you so much Darren for your very positive feedback. It’s always lovely to hear that our guests have had an enjoyable holiday at Great Leap. We’re pleased you liked the animal pictures at the lodge, and hope you saw plenty in the woods during your stay! We would love to welcome you back in the future!
Couldn't find how to watch normal TV channels.
. followed instructions in the guide but just couldn't get the channels, we just watched things on catch up later. Everything else about our stay was great ... Fantastic lodge.. very well equipped, clean, comfortable. Excellent position in the park. Would love to stay again for longer but would need a freezer for our dogs food. We did see a table top freezer stored in a cupboard which wasn't in use,,, can this be used on a longer stay ? .
Hi Lisa, we’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Great Leap, and would love to welcome you back. We are sorry that you struggled with the TV instructions in the guest information, and we will address this issue to make the instructions clearer. The freezer was available for use, but will have needed plugging in and switching on, so again apologies for any inconvenience caused. It would be lovely to see you return in the future, and if so please don’t hesitate to contact the servicing team or ourselves, as we could have easily solved both issues.
Lovely quiet location.
Spacious and comfortable. Great location for visiting the coast and Horncastle and Lincoln with lovely drives across the Lincolnshire Wolds. Very good starter pack of logs for the wood burner but had to travel to get logs as none to buy on site. Overall very pleasant stay.
We’re really pleased you had a lovely holiday staying at Great Leap, and we appreciate your kind feedback very much. Hopefully having to buy additional logs at the nearby garden centre didn’t cause too much of an inconvenience for you. Logs are probably not sold onsite as most lodges don’t have log burners, and sadly not enough demand. We would love to welcome you again Stephen at some point in the future, and thank you again for your positive review.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
It’s great to hear you’ve had a lovely stay at Great Leap, and everything was to your liking. We always find it very reassuring to hear guests have enjoyed their holiday at Great Leap! Thank you for your kind feedback, and we hope you return in the future!
We loved our stay, it was so peaceful and the accommodation was perfect.
I would highly recommend the great leap.
We’re so pleased to hear you’ve had a lovely holiday at Great Leap, and thank you so much for your positive feedback! It’s always reassuring to hear our guests have been happy and comfortable at Great Leap. Thank you
Lovely property in a nice location, stayed previously and never disappoints home from home.
We’re so pleased you had another enjoyable holiday at Great Leap David, and thank you for your kind feedback. We would love to welcome you back again sometime!
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.
We are very pleased to hear you’ve had a lovely holiday and enjoyed your stay at Great Leap and everything was up to standard for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to write your kind feedback, it means such a lot to us to know guests are happy. We would love to welcome you back at Great Leap again in the future!
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.

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 :)
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.
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.
Lovely comfortable well equipped lodge.
Would love to stay again
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Great Leap and would love you to come and visit us again.
Wonderful stay, the lodge is like a Tardis and the pictures do not do it justice!
Would certainly stay again if in the area.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, it really means such a lot to us. We would be very happy to see you return one day Nicola.
Third time at the lodge, and it never disappoints will definitely return again.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback David. It is lovely to hear you had a great time at Great Leap, and we very much look forward to you visiting us again!
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.
The lodge was amazing the best one on there thanks for letting us stay there my wife thoughrully enjoyed it many thanks to the owners for the fruit and plum loaf all being well we hope to be back next year once again many thanks much appreciated Kevin
We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your holiday at Great Leap. We really do appreciate your kind words so much, and it makes the hard work very worthwhile. We would love you to visit us again. Thank you
Beautiful lodge in a nice location well looked after and well maintained, will be booking again!
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
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!
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.
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
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.
Fabulous lodge, clean and had everything we needed.
Peaceful setting. Could benefit from a children's play area when families staying.
So pleased to hear you had a lovely holiday, and enjoyed staying at Great Leap.
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.
Perfect location, the lodge was spotless clean had everything you needed for a relaxing and peaceful holiday, will definitely book this lodge again!
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.
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.
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
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
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 :)
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Everything lovely relaxed few days thank you
We’re so pleased you had a lovely break at Great Leap, and thank you for your kind comments.
