Greetham Retreat
Tetford Road, Greetham, Lincolnshire, LN9 6PT, East Midlands England
Greetham Retreat offers five luxury self-catering holiday cottages (sleeping two to six people) and a small five hardstanding pitches on its Caravan and Motorhome Club (CAMC) CL touring caravan site.
The location is over 300 feet above sea level, in over four acres of private natural parkland grounds, with no nearby neighbours, in the heart of the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB.
The venue has made specific adjustments to its use of lights, including switching all lights off from 10 pm each evening. Combined with low levels of nearby light pollution, this ensures the darkest site possible.
Therefore, Greetham Retreat is ideal for those who enjoy stargazing across the big open skies at night that rural Lincolnshire offers.
Stay & gaze - this location benefits from dark skies, relatively low levels of light pollution, is astronomy friendly and suitable for stargazing breaks.
