This charming country cottage is ideal for couples and small families seeking a peaceful getaway. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the rolling fields, the quaint Norman church and the enchanting Rigsby Wood. The cottage is surrounded by a network of footpaths, bridleways, and lanes, inviting you to explore the surrounding countryside on foot or by bike. A short, 2-mile drive will take you to the historic market town of Alford, with its 14th-century church, traditional butchers and local market which operates on certain days of the week. For memorable family outings, the sandy beaches of Skegness, Sutton-on-Sea, and Mablethorpe are within 15 miles, offering amusements, traditional fish and chips and a seal sanctuary. The market town of Louth is 13 miles away, with its leisure centre and the picturesque Hubbard’s Hills, perfect for riverside picnics and leisurely walks.

Step into the porch with plenty of space to store coats and boots, and wander through to the welcoming country-style kitchen/diner. This well-equipped space offers everything you need to rustle up a meal during your stay. Gather around the inviting dining table while planning the next day's adventures. There is a handy downstairs WC which also doubles up as a laundry room with washing machine. The cosy lounge beckons, providing comfortable sofas to sink into after a day of exploring the countryside. Unwind in front of the TV or lose yourself in the pages of a captivating book. Head up to the first floor where a charming double bedroom awaits, offering tasteful furnishings and picturesque rural views. Additionally, a bright and airy twin bedroom invites you to experience a restful night's sleep. The family bathroom awaits, offering a rejuvenating shower over the bath and a WC. Don't forget to bring your favourite bubble bath for a well-deserved soak.

When we walked into Pheasant Cottage it was lovely & warm which made it feel very welcoming & cosy on a cold March day. It was spotlessly clean, the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed for cooking, the lounge was lovely & comfortable, and the beds were really comfortable. Such a beautiful setting & it was so peaceful. It was a fabulRead moreous base for our daily trips out. Thanks to Barbara & Pluto (the labrador) for popping over when we arrived and also for our lovely Welcome Pack. Hide
