Shepherd's Cottage in Lincolnshire | Cottage With a Hot Tub

About Shepherd's Cottage

Spend a week on a tranquil rural getaway with your family at this charming detached cottage, enveloped by arable farmland and cattle grazing in the owner's countryside fields. Shepherd's Cottage is a family-friendly holiday home offering a rural retreat for yourself, your children and your canine companions.

Make your way into the welcoming abode as you feel the cosy warmth from the ground-floor underfloor heating, strolling into a handy utility room where you can kick off your muddy boots and pop your clothes in the washing machine. Step into the walk-in shower found opposite, letting the hot water rinse away an adventurous day in the countryside, before heading to the kitchen to rustle up a tasty home-cooked meal using the contemporary cooking amenities.

Tuck into your delightful home-cooking in the living/dining room, enjoying a group meal over a bottle of wine, before heading over to the lovely seating area in front of the toasty woodburning stove for a fun-filled movie night in front of the TV. Retire upstairs to one of the two charming double bedrooms - one of which is home to a handy zip-link bed which can become a twin upon request - the bedrooms benefit from sloped ceilings, bright Velux windows and views out to the surrounding fields.

Head out to the private fenced garden, where you'll find a calming spring and lawn area and can enjoy sunny afternoons on the south facing patio complete with barbecue and table and chairs. The property is surrounded by lush fields of Lincolnshire countryside, with arable farmland, grazing cattle, and unspoilt views into far-reaching rural landscapes.

The public footpath which leads from the garden is the perfect starting point for a relaxing walk with your other half- wander along beautiful farmland fields during a brisk morning sunrise, or take a romantic sunset stroll to nearby Claythorpe Water Mill. A short drive brings you over to the market town of Alford where you can stock up on self-catering essentials at one of the many shops or weekly markets, delight in a night away from the kitchen at one of the welcoming pubs or restaurants, or alternatively you can explore the Grade I listed working windmill.

Shepherd's Cottage Reviews

Lovely comfortable cottage. Spotlessly clean and perfect for dogs. Garden is fenced right the way round and plenty of space for dogs to enjoy outside. The house was beautifully warm even in the depths of winter. Very well equipped and everything thought of for a comfortable stay. Location is a great base for touring the wolds and the towns nearby. The host, Ann was on hand for any questions. Would recommend

Lovely accommodation, amazingly pretty location and extremely clean. Well equipped, warm and comfortable. Even though the weather was bad we still had such a great time, so peaceful.

We made a last minute booking as we had some difficult things to sort out in the area close by. It provided us with total peace to recharge at the end of the day for which we were very grateful. Warm perfectly clean , comfortable and in a lovely setting. Would love to return in happier circumstances. The owner was lovely too.

This cottage is fantastic if you want to get away from it all. We went just after New Year and it was freezing outside. The cottage was cosy and warm. The kitchen is really well equipped and the large enclosed gardens perfect for our two dogs to safely run around in. As the cottage is set back down its own track, there is no light pollution or noise. We enjoyed pitch black star filled skies and owls hooting in the adjoining fields. We loved it

Angela

We loved Shepherd's Cottage and would love to return again in the future. Well equipped with excellent views and so very cosy and comfortable.

A fantastic quiet get away for some much needed relaxation. The cottage is very well equipped and in a fantastic location. We have a big dog who enjoyed the large enclosed garden and watching the wildlife through the fence and out of patio doors in the living room. Louth is a great town and we spent a lot of our time exploring the area or heading straight out of the door onto public footpaths in some extremely scenic and peaceful fields and walkways. Ann and Alan who we met and was extremely friendly, we hope you get the shed fixed! are so helpful and offered to help and even rescue us should we get lost on the way in as we arrived late at night, we didnt as the instructions she gave on finding the cottage lead us straight to the gateway and even messaged me to say shed post out some belongings wed left, we hadnt even realised we hadnt come home with. Well be sure to visit again in the summer to make the most of the outdoor seating and again around bonfire night to escape the fireworks as our dog is quite nervous and we didnt hear a single one Thank you to Ann and Alan well be sure to see you soon

A beautiful cottage with everything you need. Quiet and peaceful with plenty of walking routes for our dogs. This is a home from home where we can recharge our batteries and relax. We have already rebooked!

Brilliant week away ! !!!! Second visit here. and superb and peaceful place to stay !! We will certainly be back soon .

We had another amazing week at shepherds cottage. Wonderful views, 20 minutes from the beach. Highly recommend. Will shall be returning again, next year. Thank you.

The cottage is set in the most beautiful and peaceful location, with 360 degree countryside views. It has everything you could possible need. The cottage was welcoming, clean and comfortable. The garden is superb and mostly secure, I say mostly as our tiny chihuahua got under the fence wire, walking around the cattle grid to go and see the cows! It is in an ideal place for visiting surrounding areas including Skegness and Mablethorpe. We would not hesitate to book again, one of our favourite cottages we have stayed in over the years!

Hi, The cottage was lovely. It was in the perfect location, fantastic views and amazing bird life. Ideal for a little peace & quiet. Ideal position and not far from all coastal areas and beautiful beaches. The cottage was very clean and had everything we required and the added bonus was the enclosed garden which was fab for our frenchie Simon to run freely. Thank you. Sue & Bob & Simon.

Lovely cosy cottage very clean beautiful views from the cottage

Our third visit and, as before, the cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable. This stay was all the more enjoyable as we had several days with temperatures in the mid 20s. Having only been in winter before, it was great to be able to sit outside and enjoy the view from this secluded and peaceful spot.

The cottage is in a wonderful position in peaceful surroundings. It is well equipped and our dogs Buzz and Rex enjoyed the large wrap around garden. The owner was very helpful.

A beautiful,well appointed cottage. Great quality bedding, towels, the kitchen had everything you would need, also of a high quality. An amazing location so quiet,a few walkers,and the wildlife, including muntjac deer, hares, rabbits, wild geese,pheasants and lots of other birds. The location is perfect for the Wolds,and the coastline. We book through Sykes a couple of times a year and Shepherds Cottage was definitely one of the best. Thank you to our hosts,we would love to visit again.

A delightful cottage in the middle of a field, crossing two cattle grids to get through the gate into the property. You can see other houses, but only just. It is that quiet, with regard to people and road noise. Greylag geese and RAF jets, both of which are no great surprise in Lincolnshire, are what we heard most. And the aircraft were feeling and far between. The cottage is well equipped to a very high standard, cosy, with a great view through the french windows, and a joy to relax in.

Perfect cottage, so cosy, with every detail thought about. Idyllic location with beautiful countryside views from the patio windows. Would not hesitate to recommend this property.

Rachel

We had a wonderful stay at Shepherd's Cottage. The kitchen was well equipped with some lovely thoughful extra treats, the lounge area is great and extra cosy with the fire going. The bedrooms are cosy with incredibly comfy beds. The enclosed garden was excellent for our dog and gave her plenty of space to run about and investigate! The flooring was also perfect for her with great grip as she has an arthritic leg. Instructions left in the cottage were clear and communication was great from the owners. Thank you!

Perfect, clean, cosy and comfortable

Angela

We only booked for a long weekend, but wished we'd booked longer, the cottage was just what we needed, so peaceful and cosy. The cottage has well equipped kitchen, the bed was comfortable, we stayed in December during storm darragh the cottage was warm and cosy. The views from the cottage are stunning from every window, we'd love to go back in the summer so we could sit outside with a glass or two and take in the beautiful vista. Great dog walks on your door step, my two loved it. This was a great place to totally unwind and destress. 1010 from us...

This is our third visit to Shepherds Cottage which says it all! We love the peaceful location and we and the dogs love the walks. The cottage is very comfortable and has everything you need. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful week. The cottage was amazing. It was so comfortable. Everything we needed was there. The surrounding area was beautiful.

Alison

Had a totally relaxing break at Shepherds cottage. Bed linen was crisp, clean and delightful. With very comfy beds, slept soundly ! Kitchen has everything that you could possibly need, with thoughtful extras to make your stay more relaxing. Additional freezer definitely makes food storage easier. Particularly impressed by the additional safety measures in place, additional safety keys and window restrictors in place. We didnt need to use the log burner but everything was in place to make the use of it easy including additional logs if required. The under floor heating kept the cottage so warm and cosy that we had to turn the heating down. Shepherds cottage is perfect for a relaxing stay in a beautifully restored cottage in a location that gives you a peaceful, restful break without being remote. The views are stunning, with easy access to lots of walking opportunities directly from the cottage. The garden is perfectly secure for dog's, always a worry when booking but the garden is perfect. The additional dog towels, treats and hose were perfect for our spaniels after spending time on the nearby beach

Great been a couple of times now and will be back again

What a wonderful property, one of the best we've stayed in. Everything has been thought of. The all round views are amazing. We are already looking to book for next year. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you.

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was cosy, clean, well equipped and very warm we ended up turning the radiators right down upstairs despite Storm Isha raging outside. The cottage is ideally situated to easily reach lots of places in Lincolnshire and handy for an excellent meal at the Railway too.

We appreciated the cleanliness and comfort of the cottage. The Instructions for lighting the fire were clear and perfect!. The extra logs were welcome. The kitchen was very well equipped. We cooked every night and wished we had more people to cater for! The only thing that would have improved our stay and this is marginal would have been some notes on local walks. We researched a few, plus places to see, but a local person's view would have been welcome. The cottage situation is between the wolds and the sea perfect for any time of year.

Our second visit to this delightful cottage very well appointed in all respects and situated in a beguiling rural spot.

The perfect getaway, especially if you have dogs. Experiencing a major car problem the owners were extremely helpful. 1010.

Absolutely beautiful cottage . . beautiful location .. very dark..very quiet .. just perfect. We spent two weeks at the cottage and it was lovely. Very well equipped, we didn't want for anything. Would definitely stay there again

Our 2nd visit. Lovely cottage. Super stay. Country styles a bit tricky for older spaniel, hole with a pull up stick would allow him to walk through. Local pub a short walk on quiet roads or across fields. Friendly and very good food. Would always recommend shepherd's cottage.
