About this property

This spacious property enjoys a wonderful blend of character styling with contemporary furnishings to ensure a welcoming stay at any time of the year for families or friends.

On the ground floor, there is a well-equipped kitchen which houses all the essentials to cater for yourselves during a week-long break, before you settle down within the spacious sitting room to tune into the TV.
Sitting just outside Louth, often called the “Capital of the Wolds”, the property puts you in a prime spot for exploring this peaceful corner of Lincolnshire. Louth itself is easily reached and offers a handsome mix of Georgian streets, independent shops, traditional butchers and a striking parish church that dominates the skyline. Head a little further and you’ll find villages like Legbourne, Hallington and North Somercotes, each with its own quiet charm and country pubs worth a lingering lunch. The wider Lincolnshire Wolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offers rolling countryside ideal for walkers looking to stretch their legs or cyclists keen on a scenic challenge.
For days out, Hubbard’s Hills provides a picturesque valley for picnics and gentle strolls, while the coast, including spots such as Mablethorpe and Sutton-on-Sea, can be reached without fuss. Barn Owl is well-placed for accessing a number of Lincolnshire's finest sights.
When ready to discover the very best that the area has to offer, grab your walking boots and head for the Lincolnshire Wolds – a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; or nearby Hubbard’s Hills. You can enjoy a beach day at any time of year on the vast beaches of the Lincolnshire coast – Theddlethorpe or Moggs Eye are good places to start. For something a bit more lively try any of the well-known coastal resorts – Cleethorpes, Sutton-on-Sea and Skegness. A 45 minute drive takes you to Fantasy Island theme park at Ingoldmells, where you can ride thrilling rollercoasters or just enjoy the faces of your family and friends riding them! The Georgian market town of Louth is a hidden gem. The town is blessed with a wide range of independent shops and eateries. For something cultural, visit the Louth Museum, or take a look round the impressive medieval parish church with its famous spire.Nature lovers will love local nature reserves at Red Hill, Snipe Dales, and the internationally important Donna Nook and Gibraltar Point reserves. All the family will love exotic menagerie at Woodside Wildlife Park. A visit to Lincoln is a must. Take a walk up Steep Hill – browse the shops, eateries and pubs up this historic route (take your time, it’s called ‘Steep for a reason). When you reach the summit, you have the opportunity to visit the historic castle and the world famous cathedral (see if the kids can spot the elusive Lincoln Imp). Once you’ve made your way back down the hill, reward yourself with a drink or meal beside Brayford Pool marina! Further afield you can take a trip across the impressive Humber bridge, and spend a day in Hull at ‘The Deep’ Aquarium, one of the largest in the country.
