A beautifully finished Lincolnshire cottage, this enticing retreat blends comfort and character. Situated in Coningsby, which has a selection of shops and eateries, the four-bedroom retreat sleeps eight guests, making it ideal for an extended family holiday or a break for a large group. Nestled between the scenic Lincolnshire Wolds and the picturesque Fens, 8 miles from Horncastle, it is ideally located for anyone wishing to get out and about by bicycle or on foot. The National Trust’s 15th-century, red-brick Tattershall Castle, with its double moat and picturesque grounds, is just 1 mile from the cottage. Younger members of your party will adore a day out at the colourful Wolds Wildlife Park, 9 miles away. Plan a trip to historic Horncastle to potter in the shops selling antiques and vintage items, and browse the market stalls. Just 4.3 miles away you can spend the day relaxing in Woodhall Spa. For Nature lovers RSPB Freiston Shore Nature Reserve is 17.2 miles away where you can explore the wilderness of The Wash, with the sights and sounds of rich saltmarsh. Follow the trails and spot waders, ducks and geese, while birds of prey circle above. Or why not venture 22.5 miles into Lincoln to see the cathedral, castle and Roman ruins.
Make your way into the cottage via the gated entrance and courtyard and step inside under the porch. Head straight into the friendly kitchen/diner to unpack any tasty Lincolnshire provisions you have bought and put the kettle on for a cup of tea. This generous space has been fitted out with everything you will need to help you cater for your party with ease. There is also a table to gather around for your lively meals. Amble on through to the lounge with its flagstone floor and gorgeous, honey-coloured beams. Settle in here on the soft seating to rest and recuperate in front of the Smart TV after your busy day, or take yourself off to the tranquil reading corner with your book. Switch on the wood-burner-effect electric fire in the brick chimney breast on chilly days. The light-filled conservatory features another TV as well as plump leather seating to sink back into. Open the doors to the garden in here on warm days. There is also a handy family shower room with a WC downstairs. As the sun goes down on each day away, head upstairs to the bedrooms. These include a king-size, with an en-suite shower room, a double and two twins. The family bathroom, which offers both a shower and a bath, is also here.
The enchanting garden will be at the heart of your holiday fun as you launch out onto the River Bain in your kayak or canoe, or cast out your fishing rod. Challenge each other to table tennis in the games room or lounge in the hot tub on the patio, where there is also furniture for al fresco holiday meals. Stoke up the fire pit and sit beside it together, chatting long into the evening. Private parking is available for three cars.
