Old Barn Cottages -
These luxury cottages have been created through the sympathetic
conversion of a red-brick Georgian barn. Located on the edge of the beautiful
Lincolnshire Wolds, they are an ideal "away from it all" escape to a quiet
corner of rural England. For those seeking peace and seclusion it would be hard
to find a pleasanter spot. On the other hand, first-time visitors will be
agreeably surprised at how much there is to do and see in Lincolnshire and its
neighbouring counties.
Each cottage has its own colourful patio garden with panoramic views of rolling meadows and woodland. Within the grounds are a croquet lawn, delightful picnic and barbecue areas and a nature trail through private woods. A particular advantage offered to guests is the opportunity to enjoy fly fishing in the peaceful setting of a private lake. Access to first-class golf and riding facilities is available nearby at modest fees.
Old Barn Cottages offer an ideal base from which to visit
picturesque villages and unspoilt countryside. Quiet country roads across the
Wolds lead to the Lincolnshire coast with its wide, safe, sandy beaches and such
popular resorts as Mablethorpe and Skegness. Historic Lincoln City (15 miles) is
also easy to get to - the hilltop cathedral is clearly visible from the
cottages. Other nearby attractions include the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight
at Coningsby, numerous stately homes, country parks and wild-life sanctuaries.
Old Barn Cottages are located in Great Sturton, a tiny hamlet on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds - a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This part of the country is still one of the quietest and least-spoiled parts of rural England. The cottages are not far from Horncastle (five miles) - a picturesque Georgian market town famed as the antiques centre of Lincolnshire.
Small historic towns are scattered throughout the area. Many are village-like in atmosphere but on market days they spring to life, drawing in people from the surrounding countryside as they have done for centuries.
