2-Bedroom Hot Tub Cottage in Lincolnshire

One of an adjacent pair of repurposed properties, this rural retreat sits on the outskirts of Martin, a Kesteven village where an impressive play park, pub and convenience store are at the heart of community life. The surrounding landscape is criss-crossed by airfields and reminders of the county’s role in aviation history – the visitor centre at Metheringham (1.5 miles) tells the story of 106 Bomber Squadron which flew its first WWII sortie in 1943.

Step further back in time with a visit to Lincoln (14 miles), where city highlights include a Gothic cathedral and a stunning castle which houses a Victorian prison and a copy of the Magna Carta. Edwardian Woodhall Spa is another must-see; famous for its quirky Kinema in the Woods and Jubilee Park, where a heated Lido delivers a unique swimming experience.

Further afield, Horncastle (12 miles) is an antique-hunter’s delight, while nearby Wolds Wildlife Park offers exotic animal encounters for all ages to enjoy. This welcoming country conversion has private parking so family or friends can arrive and unpack at leisurely pace.

Step into the open-plan social space and stow your self-catering supplies in the kitchen at one end. A circular dining suite is conveniently close, while at the opposite end of the room a selection of soft seating is arranged before a Smart TV and patio doors offer easy garden access.

An air source heat pump keeps the property cosy; for added ambience, logs for the wood burner are supplied straight from the owner’s sustainable woodland. When it’s time to sleep, head upstairs to find two dreamy bedrooms – a king-size and a twin, each with its own TV.

The family bathroom with shower can also be found on this floor, whilst the second shower room is located on the ground floor. Step through those patio doors for a breath of fresh air and countryside views that reach as far as the eye can see – the garden is private and enclosed, so children and pets can play safely.
