Return from walks beside the canal and through the Lincolnshire countryside to relax with Rover at this single-storey retreat. Situated in Saxilby, 7 miles from the city of Lincoln, close to the water, it sleeps four guests, as well as their paw-some holiday companion. With two bedrooms, the barn-style cottage nestles in lawned gardens, where Rover can bound and play, and where you can rinse his muddy paws after your exhilarating trips out together.

Enter the airy holiday home to find it offers open-plan living space, with plenty of room for you and Rover to relax in comfort. At the heart of the property is its lounge/diner, where you can light the wood burner after autumn and winter adventures or pull open the patio doors on summer days. Watch TV in here, play games and give Rover the attention he deserves on his special holiday. Whip up homecooked meals in the adjacent kitchen and feed your precious pup here too. Dine at the table yourselves before spending another pleasant evening in your dog-friendly home from home together. Bid your chum goodnight before retiring to either the double or the twin bedroom. There is a family shower room for all guests to use. Make the most of the garden space at the property by taking Rover outside whenever it is warm enough. Throw a ball for him on the grass and bask in the sunshine together.

Spend an afternoon at Whisby Nature Park, 7 miles away, where you can follow trails round the lakes and through woodland and let Rover run free beside Thorpe Lake. Here there is a beach where he can paddle. Plan a day out to the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 24 miles away, with its many magnificent footpaths and dog-friendly beauty spots to enjoy.

Stayed for a long weekend and White Acres was a perfect base. Has everything you could need - comfy sofa and beds, fully equipped kitchen and enclosed, safe garden for our little Westie. It's a short drive into Lincoln. The weather was great so we had a nice walk into the village along the canal. Would highly recommend a stay here.

For us White Acres is positioned at the end of a long, private and quiet canalside driveway. The property is very roomy with a vaulted ceilings in all rooms. We enjoyed all the small details like plastic containers, a variety of bowls for eating and serving from. The well equipped kitchen was a real boom. The restoration of this property is in keepRead moreing with a countryside location. The location is strategic to visit Lincoln within 12 minutes. A short drive to the local pubs is worth the visit.
