Limetree Luxury Glamping Portland Reviews

Lovely place, I will be returning sometime soon, total peace and the people was super friendly.
Timothy
This was an incredible and memorable stay. The perfect location, the perfect accommodation, the perfect view. I booked this as a surprise for my wifes 40th birthday and it exceeded expectations. Everything is well maintained and thoughtfully selected. The hot tub was wonderful and a real treat. It overlooks a wheat field and felt incredibly relaxing and peaceful, particularly with the brilliant weather. We had a couple of interactions with the owner who is friendly, personable and helpful. Even the wifi was good enough to stream England vs Norway on a laptop I couldnt believe it! We cannot say enough good things about this stay. Very special, grateful for a wonderful weekend and would have no hesitation in booking again.
Absolutely amazing location for a getaway. Lovely hosts and amazing property! Would definitely book again!
Michal
Everything was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Can't even think of a single flaw. We even got some food for the sheep to feed them and they were super friendly. Would definitely recommend!
This place is incredible and looks even better than the photos . The space and areas on offer have been very carefully thought of and designed with no expense spared with attention to finer details done respectfully. Ample storage , lovely finishing touches with decor , towels , robes , bedding etc . Lots of available contact and support with the host as of when required along with subtle checking in when in site and biscuits left on the patio as a treat to feed the sheep behind us . The campsite has been respectfully landscaped with the added feature of a fire pit and swing for all to enjoy . The hot tub was perfect with stunning views over the field , the outdoor provision of BBQ and fire were well received and used at night dont forget your marshmallows to toast ! A must visit is the local farmers shop , a 5 minute walk away with delicious home made treats and delicacies . Nothing is too much trouble for anyone here , if youre looking for a peaceful tranquil retreat in style then look no further for this amazing glamping experience that is a must for a few days away and will instantly feel like home !
Had an absolutely unreal stay here for 4 nights. Glorious weather, amazing unexpected aircon which was a blessing! Really lovely owners and the local people are so nice and friendly. Can not recommend enough! We both felt that pretty much everything was accounted for, plenty of cutlery, crockery, cooking facilities. Really comfy bed too! There was also milk in the fridge upon arrival, biscuits and coffee pods which was lovely! If I was being extremely picky there were a few things we needed to purchase however I would never expect these things to be given as standard I just think it would be a nice touch if they were provided. Extra toilet roll Salt and pepper Kitchen roll Extra sponge as after cleaning the outside hotplate our sponge was too dirty to use inside. Other than that it was perfect! Great view, nice and quiet, exactly what we needed. Thanks so much
We had an absolutely amazing stay Honestly 1010 from start to finish. The place was beautiful, spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed to feel completely at home. What really made the experience special, though, were the owners. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay, and you can really tell how much care they put into making guests feel comfortable. We couldnt have asked for a better experience and would happily stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a perfect getaway
Limetree glamping pods exceeded our expectations, so clean and relaxing, loved the place

Had a great peaceful weekend here, it had everything you would need plus very clean and comfy bed, with the hot tub and outside facilities also great, would highly recommend and with lovely hosts that put there heart and soul into making this place a great success
Sallyann
Perfect choice for a peaceful getaway. Shepherds hut was lovely and cosy, outside space was great with amazing views over the countryside. Wendy and David were fantastic hosts, taking the time to chat with us and advise of things to do in the area. Hot tub was electric which was an added bonus also the hut had air conditioning. Would 100 recommend staying here!
Robert
Great place for a weekend visit, the whole place was peaceful, relaxing and very clean. Lovey little farm shop 5 mins up the road. The small details of the Portland was brilliant and fully deserves another visit Thank you
Michael
What an amazing, peaceful and tranquil place to be. The property and facilities were second to none, and had everything you could think of to make it a true home from home. Wendy and Dave were an amazing couple who made you, not only feel welcome, but part of the family. We had such an amazing time that we have rated this holiday joint number 1, alongside our Jamaica trip, it was that good. We will most definitely be returning.
Absolutely perfect, couldn't fault anything and were looking at booking in the future to return
Quiet getaway in a rural setting. A comfortable retreat in a well maintained shepherds hut with stunning views across the country and all the facilities you need for selfcatering. The owners checked the hot tub daily, which is reassuring. I would recommend this lovely place to stay.
We have just got back from a wonderful 2 night stay here, everything about this stay is perfect the attention to detail in the decor, the views, the facilities, the peacefulness, the bed and pillows so comfy and the little extras like chocs & milk in the fridge. Cute things like games, pretty lights, blankets and every utensil, mug, glass, plate youd need! The owners who are so lovely and welcoming have thought about everything to make your stay absolutely bliss. The hot tub is the best Ive been in! Loved cooking on the bbq and putting the fire pit on lots of memories made here we will not forget. Thank you so much Zoe and Zane xx
Courtney
We had a lovely stay, couldnt recommend enough! Everything was perfect, we will definitely be back. Thankyou
Stacey
Me and my partner had the pleasure of spending 3 nights at this beautiful place for our 1 year anniversary. The shepherd's huts was amazing with everything you could need. The owners Wendy and dave are absolutely lovely people. Nothing was to big or small. We will definitely be making this our anniversary place to visit each year. I could not recommend this place enough. Stacey and ashley
Had the best 6 days away ever myself and husband, had everything you could ask for and the owners was very welcoming. Will definitely be coming back again.
Some of the best service I've received while being away. Absolutely lovley hosts ! Can't even think of a fault and there whenever needed anything. Even with a longer stay, couldn't of asked for a better getaway. Thank you both so much !
We stayed here to celebrate my girlfriends birthday, and it couldnt have been more perfect. The setting is absolutely stunning, peaceful, private, and surrounded by beautiful countryside as far as the eye can see. The outdoor space is so thoughtfully set up, with a cozy seating area under a canopy, a hot tub for relaxing under the stars, and a lovely deck perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or an evening drink. Everything was spotless and well maintained, and the whole place had such a relaxing, welcoming vibe. You can tell the hosts put real thought into making it feel special from the stylish decor to the comfy outdoor furniture and little touches like the fire pit and cushions. It was the ideal getaway peaceful, romantic, and really memorable. We left feeling completely recharged. Would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone.
Amazing place and lovely owners, who were extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend
Gillian
The site was beautiful, very peaceful and fab facilities. An ideal place for a couples getaway. Dave and Wendy were lovely and really looked after us when my husband hurt his foot. We will definitely be back.
Edward
The place was absolutly lovely. It was clean, comfortable and everything we were after. It might be worth explicitly putting no oven on the listing as we did get a bit confused. But otherwise the whole experience was great.
A massive thank you to Wendy and Dave for the amazing stay at Portland Luxury Glamping this March! The shepards hut had everything my partner and I needed and more. We were meant to stay at another shepards hut 30 miles away and it was cancelled last minute so we were so happy to have found Limetree Glamping. The way the interior and exterior is decorated is beautiful! The outside fire was perfect and the canopie over the seating area was great because when it rained we still felt super sheltered and cosy! Blankets were supplied which was a bonus to feel warm on colder nights! The following day we had beautiful sun so we walked down to feed the sheep with the sheep feed that Dave and Wendy supply. The sheep are in the field next to the plot who ran right to the gate to greet us! They all have their own little personalities and that was such fun meeting them all. The hot tub was perfect for two and everything felt so private. Dave keeps the grounds and hot tub very clean and looked after and he was very helpful when we wanted more firewood and an extra towel. On greeting Wendy she realised it was my birthday and came back shortly to our hut to drop off a bottle of bubble on ice and a gorgeous rose flower. It made my birthday feel so special and I couldn't have appreciated that kind gesture more! We also popped into the town close by as I booked a massage with 'Zen o Clock' which was honestly the best massage ive ever had! And the prices were so cheap for a full body massage! By the end of the weekend we were so thankful that the other place we were meant to stay cancelled because this shepards hut and the grounds were the best we've stayed on. Wendy and Dave are a lovely and friendly, kind couple who have produced a beautiful escape into tranquility! I couldn't recommend staying here enough! Also, I must mention the bed is soooo comfortable! I wasn't expecting it! We really wish we had booked a longer stay here as 2 nights went too quickly. If you want to experience staying in a shepards hut then you have to stay here! You won't regret it!!
Weronika
The property and the pods were lovely, everything about the place was homey and welcoming. The owners were kind and came out to meet us and support us with our stay. Theres a local farm shop nearby that serves amazing food and good produce to buy. I would recommend this place to anyone who thinks of staying.
Dominik
Amazing little stay, really cute shepherd's hut very well equipped and beautifully decorated. .. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the stars from the hot tub and cooking on the outdoor hot plate. Owner popped in to say hi on arrival and check everything was okay but otherwise left us in peace perfect host. Would definitely recommend
It was a great property in a lovely location. Very peaceful and quiet and had everything we needed at the property. Would definitely recommend.
Trevor Cross
Amazing 3 night break in portland hut. The owners have thought of everything they are so welcoming and go above and beyond for you whilst there. The outside space is by far the best out of the ones we've previously stayed at, as well as the decor and cleanliness of it all.....superb! The communal seating with fire pit is a great addition if travelling with friends and family. We also loved the church bells ringing the time, great for putting phones away and having a little reminder in the background. The only thing we were unhappy with was having to come home!! We have already recommended this place to a few friends and are booking 2 stays again for next year. We can't wait to return!
Samantha
We absolutely loved staying here, the owners have thought of everything & its been done to such a high standard. It is immaculately clean, so peaceful & cosy! Would recommend to anyone & we cant wait to come again! Thank you
To say this was one of the best finds to escape for a weekend would be an under statement. We booked this place at 10pm for the following day. Everything was perfect, hut had amazing air conditioning and heating. Outdoor cooking was brilliant along with hot tub, plunge bucket and fire place. Regardless of weather, we had both rain and sun and both were lovely. You can enjoy the entire experience in all weathers. I must say to the lady of the house whom designed and bought all the amenities. You did incredible. You didn't cheap out on anything! This really is luxury. Robes, towels, blankets, bedding and chairs. Everything feels high quality and you have truly made an incredible weekend escape.
Excellent place to stay well looked after everything you would need for you stay is included, nice little farm shop around the corner but you need to give 24hrs for some stuff so best to do it the day you get there. Would 100 recommend to anyone who is thinking about staying there
Duncan
Had an amazing break away from it all here. So peaceful and well kept. Furnishings throughout were perfectly done and thought out with great facilities and lovely farm shops and places to visit locally. We recommend a tour of the 'Creswell Craggs' for a interesting and very picturesque trip out. Amazing view across the valley on a night. Turn all the lights out and enjoy an amazingly clear night sky and possibly see a shooting star from your hot tub with a glass of wine...Paradise. Would highly recommend Limetree glamping retreat and will be definitely visiting again.
We had such an amazing longweekend in Portland. The hosts literally could not have done more to make us feel welcome. 10 stars just for them. Another 10 for the property. The hut was beautifully clean and so stylishly decorated. Loved it. Everything you could possibly need is provided. Peaceful surroundings overlooking farmland with beautiful views from the hut and the hot tub. Its pet and kids tree too so ideal if you want to get away from it all and just relax and indulge. Farm shop nearby and a we found a lovely crosscountry walk from the village to Retford nearby, Lincoln is not far to drive either. Will definitely, definitely be back. Cannot wait.
The accommodation was very clean and modern. It was very well kitted out with all the amenities you could wish for. The host were very pleasant and always at hand to accommodate any of my requirements. The hot tub was a hit, just perfect for relaxing in towards the end of each evening.
Lauren
Portland is an absolutely beautiful stay, everything is done to such a high standard and there is everything you could want and more. Lovely views in a beautiful setting and a great location for exploring.
Wow is all I can say! What a great experience staying here the atmosphere was so tranquil and peaceful. Amazing views! Everything we needed was there it was like being home from home. The hosts were absolutely amazing and so welcoming and friendly nothing was too much trouble! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back. Sarah and Dean
Our stay was perfect. The lodge had everything we needed and was spotless. The aesthetic of the grounds as well as the interior was gorgeous and so well though out. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming, allowing us to feed the sheep before we left. Everyone was so helpful and made this retreat stress free. We loved the many features like the hot tub, the outdoor cold shower, the outdoor hob and log burner and the seating area under the canopy. Although not completely fenced off, the hut feels so private due to the gorgeous plants and trees surrounding. It was a perfect location and so peaceful. Me and my partner cooked dinner all 3 nights and had everything we needed to do so , so so happy with our stay and would definitely recommend to friends and family! Thankyou.
Weve just got home from a 2 night stay, and wow it was absolutely beautiful, the owners have put so much thought and effort into the whole thing. The owners were so helpful and polite, we cant pick 1 fault with the experiance and will be recommending to all friends and family and will definitely be coming back soon! 10 star from us x
Leanne
Thank you for fantastic stay in your delightful shepherds hut. The setting was scenic and peaceful. The hut was clean, well maintained and was comfortable and homely. The owners were welcoming and friendly, recommending places to visit and eat.
