Set in the charming Lincolnshire village of Marton, this detached one-bedroom lodge is a welcoming base for a getaway with your four-legged friends. It’s just 5 miles from the market town of Gainsborough, making it perfectly placed for countryside adventures while keeping shops and pubs within easy reach. Two dogs are welcome to join you on a solo or couples’ trip, and there’s a sofa bed for if you need to accommodate another human.
The lodge is bright and airy, with a sociable open-plan living space that looks out onto the garden through patio doors. You’ll have a comfortable lounge area with a Smart TV, plus comfy sofas to sink into while your pets doze on the carpet nearby. The dining space sets you up for relaxed meals prepared in the glossy white galley kitchen. Sleeping arrangements are flexible – you’ll have a cosy king-size bedroom with a Smart TV, as well as a sofa bed in the living area if needed. The family bathroom includes a bath, a separate shower and WC. Outside, the fully enclosed garden is the icing on the cake for dog owners, offering a mix of patio and lawn where pups can potter about safely while you enjoy a coffee at the bistro table. The property also has private parking for two cars.
Nearby, take your four-legged chums on scenic walks along the River Trent or around Torksey Lock (both 2.5 miles), or stretch your legs further afield at Spalford Warren (within 10 miles), a nature reserve with open heathland to explore. Whisby Nature Park (15 miles) has lakeside trails and plenty of wildlife to sniff out. For a change of pace, head into Lincoln (13 miles) to wander historic streets, visit the cathedral (dogs welcome) or browse the shops along Steep Hill. History lovers – and well-behaved dogs – will also enjoy a trip to Scampton, home of the famous Dambusters, where you can soak up local heritage and stop for a meal at the dog-friendly pub.
