Welcome!
A warm welcome from us to you
A warm welcome from us, Paul and Lisa to The Old Barn Retreat family run touring site and luxury holiday cottages situated on the beautiful East Lincolnshire coast between Sutton-On-Sea and Alford.
We are tucked away in a delightful rural setting with the most amazing big skies and far reaching Lincolnshire landscapes but less than 3 miles from stunning unspoilt dog friendly beaches. Experience the best of both coast and countryside! The Old Barn Retreat is perfect for a blissful few days away with just the gentle coast road passing our door, making it both easily accessible, even for the largest of motorhomes and peaceful at the same time!
There is much to enjoy and explore in the local area. You might want to try the delights of locally-sourced farm produce, renowned fish and chips or take a gentle stroll in the fresh sea air along the promenade at Sutton-On-Sea. We are perfectly situated for visits to Mablethorpe and Skegness, typical seaside towns or alternatively the historic market towns of Alford, Louth and Horncastle in the beautiful wolds countryside with their traditional markets and antique shops.
If you are an aviation enthusiast then we are close to The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, Coningsby and the East Kirkby Aviation Museum with regular Lancaster taxi runs.
There are well stocked fishing lakes just a couple of miles away which charge a daily rod fee and plenty of places of historic interest to visit.
The choice is yours!
