This bright and fresh accommodation is all on ground-floor level located within the owner’s grounds and within easy reach of Louth providing a perfect base for your Wolds break.

Nestled on the fringes of the Lincolnshire Wolds, this comfortable property is top dog for families and small groups. Two pampered pups and up to four humans can embrace the great outdoors then relax in style with al fresco meals in the shared garden during a stay at this retreat. You’ll have over 6 acres of shared grounds to explore including a picnic area with a BBQ, but the true treat for waggy-tailed visitors is the exercise paddock that has ample space for Fido to play.

Scamper inside and discover a welcome pack of goodies complete with treats for Rover. The open-plan living space has a contemporary-style kitchen that’s equipped with everything you need to prepare meals. The breakfast bar provides a stylish space to share a coffee or dine, and there are sofas and a TV for snuggling up and catching your favourite shows. Hose down muddy paws in the shower room then take your pick of the two bedrooms, one king-size zip-and-link bed and a double. Outside, the shared gardens await with lawn near the cottage and a further 6 acres of rural space to explore. There is off-road parking.

This dog-friendly shoreline has many other excellent beaches such as Humberston Fitties (13.5 miles) and Moggs Eye (25 miles). The nearest market town is charming Louth, a haven for foodies 3.5 miles away thanks to the vast selection of weekly markets, speciality shops and produce stores selling a variety of gastronomic delights. The Lincolnshire Wolds themselves are fantastic for adventures whether you have four legs or two, and be sure to factor in a visit to Hubbard’s Hills 4 miles away for picnics and a paddle.

The garden was not enclosed due to the storm blowing the fence down so that caused a few issues with the dogs. Apart from that we had a lovely chilled weekend the dogs loved the dog paddock. Very close you everything you need and only 30 minutes away from the coast. The cottage was very comfortable and clean. Lovely, quiet location.
