Kim & Chris Ewen

We are SO excited to welcome you to our home! As the founders of XL Escapes, we pour our hearts into creating a space where you can relax, unwind, and make lasting memories.

With two rescue dogs—Holly from Bosnia and Buddy from All Bullie Rescue—and Nala, our beautiful ginger cat (and undisputed Queen of the house), we understand how important it is to feel not just at home, but truly content and relaxed—especially when traveling with your furry companions.

Our goal is to offer more than just a holiday; we want to provide a home away from home where you can escape daily pressures, have a laugh, and enjoy quality time with loved ones. Whether it’s a cosy night in, exploring the local area, or simply making time for yourself, we’re here to make your stay special.

If you have any requests—big or small—just let us know. We’re always happy to help (and we love an excuse to bring a smile to your face, drink in hand, of course!).

Full Property Description:

Field for Paws is a family-run business providing safe, fully enclosed dog fields across Lincolnshire. Both fields are booked by the slot for exclusive use only, meaning your dog won’t encounter unknown dogs or people during your visit. Crowland Field (3.5 acres): Spacious grassland with approx. 5ft fencing, mains water, poo bins, and a field shelter. Ideal for recall work, relaxed play, or letting off steam in a controlled environment. Fleet Hargate Field (4 acres): Larger grass field with the same secure fencing, plus agility equipment for confidence-building and fun. A gated car park, water supply, shelter, and waste facilities make it practical and convenient for all weathers. Each booking is private, giving nervous, reactive, rescue dogs — and XL Bullies — a safe space to enjoy off-lead freedom. Access is via a gate code sent before your session, with buffer time between slots to prevent overlap.
