2-Bedroom Hot Tub Cottage in Lincolnshire

This chic country hideaway is within a mile of the play park, pub and convenience store that remain the heart of community life in Martin, a village surrounded by pretty farmland. Reminders of the region’s role in aviation history are all around; call in to the visitor centre at Metheringham (1.5 miles) to learn about 106 Bomber Squadron, which flew its first WWII sortie in 1943.

Step further back in time in the city of Lincoln (14 miles), where historic highlights include a Gothic cathedral and a stunning castle with a Victorian prison and a copy of the Magna Carta. Edwardian Woodhall Spa (5.5 miles) is 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 home to antique shops and an array of inns and eateries, while nearby Wolds Wildlife Park promises exotic animal encounters. Private parking makes light work of unloading – this beautiful single storey bolthole is one of an adjacent pair, each thoughtfully arranged to suit any party of four.

Step into the open-plan social space and admire the vaulted ceiling and exposed structural beams as you store self-catering supplies in the kitchen cupboards to one end. A circular dining suite is conveniently close to the countertops, while at the other end of the room a selection of comfortable seating is positioned before a Smart TV.

An air source heat pump ensures the property is cosy in all weathers; for added ambience, logs for the wood burner are supplied straight from the owner’s sustainable woodland. When you’re ready to retire for the night, two dreamy bedrooms beckon.

Choose between a king-size and a twin room – each has its own TV. The twin room has an ensuite shower room and a further separate bathroom with shower is located next to the king-size room.
