    The village pub, five minutes walk away, has a friendly atmosphere, is dog friendly, and serves delicious food. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, with our thanks to MarieAnne.

  • "What can I say the place was amazingly clean and with such comfortable furnishings."

    It is a spacious and comfortable. The setting was so peaceful and lovely. Beautiful architectural lighting to show off the vaulted ceiling and internal pillars ( no expense speared which add to the look and feel of the tasteful renavation . A short walk to a beautifully restaurant, the Finch Hatten, that have some lovely well priced meals. A lovely place We didn’t want to leave. The bed was comfortable the very large bathroom with a rainfall shower was amazing. The toiletries were amazing and high quality. The recycling was also incredibly good as we do like to do our bit but not everywhere always you to recycle. All cleaning products were there in case you needed anything. We would highly recommend this property. The off road parking was also fantastic. If I have slight negative it is, as you do not have a dishwasher I would have liked to have a draining board so the beautiful wooden work surface which is incredibly beautiful. It could do with a drinks fridge as the fridge is small. Ok if you are staying for a weekend but if you stay for a week the small fridge is a little small. Also the ironing board could have been full size again a something when you stay longer than a weekend and also a retractable washing line we say this are we are touring and walking around the U.K.

    Thank you very much for the lovely feedback and I am so pleased that you had a relaxing holiday. Good ideas on a protector for the draining board - have bought one and will look at getting a larger ironing board. Have also put up a retractable washing line. Unfortunately, am finding it hard to find a place for another fridge though can appreciate that when it is hot, fridge space is important. :) Property Owner

  • "The Asparagus Shed is a perfect place for a couple to spend a week's holiday."

    The property is very spacious, clean, tidy and comfortable, with all that you would require, along with milk in the fridge and a nice plumb cake as a welcome gift. Make sure you read the book on the shelf about the village occupants, a very interesting piece of local, social and recent history. I think it was a Wednesday morning – the church opposite, St Andrews, has an open invitation to go in for a chat, biscuits round the table but take your own coffee and pick up some local knowledge. The village is small and quiet but nicely placed for trips out by car. We had a couple of meals out at the Finch Hatton Hotel, a friendly local feeling place with nice food, drink and it is dog friendly. Movie buffs may notice the name, Finch Hatton, the film Out of Africa with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford has links to the local Earldom of Winchilsea and the, now derelict family seat of Haverholme Priory. Out and about. We visited the National Trust properties at Belton House Estate – a spectacular mansion and gardens, it was used as a filming location for the Netflix series Bridgerton, about 17 miles drive. Tattershall Castle – very well preserved / renovated castle with fantastic views, about 12 miles drive. Along with trips to the windmill at Heckington, well worth the climb and enquire about stepping out onto the external walkway - we opted for an 8 mile return walk there but with hindsight I should have driven as there is also a brewery there! At Sleaford there is also Cogglesford Mill, a still working water driven four mill and their flour is for sale. There is an abundance of WW2 RAF history in the area. Additionally, most days, there is something of the current RAF in the air. Woodhall Spa is also a very nice town to visit. Don’t be put off by reports of Lincolnshire being flat and featureless, it’s a change from other parts of the UK and quite a pleasant place to drive around and in my mind feels very much like Normandy, as being agricultural with far reaching views, dotted with small villages with large church spires. The Asparagus Shed, Ewerby – a very, very nice place to stay.

    Thank you very much for such lovely, positive and helpful feedback - the tourist board could not have done a better job :) It was so nice to meet you and your dog and really pleased that you had a wonderful (busy) holiday! Property Owner

  • "What a lovely place to stay, so very comfortable and beautifully furnished."

    The small touches of a dog bed - even though we brought our own, the dog bowls, dog treats and poo bags made my pooch feel welcome. As for the gifts left for me - again they made me feel very welcome and were lovely touches, thank you. Everything was explained really well where things were - such as the hidden cutlery draw. The whole place was well equipped. Would certainly recommend for friends and family to stay here. The only sight negative was the noise from the bell ringing practice, but it only lasted an hour so that was OK, once I got over the shock of how loud it was. Thank you for a lovely place to stay.

    Thank you for your lovely feedback and sorry that I could not give you warning on bell practice! Very pleased that, despite this, both you and your pooch had a lovely stay though - it was a pleasure to have you both. Property Owner

  • "Lovely cottage, nicely equipped."

    Although small it feels spacious and was very clean, warm and always hot water available. Welcome treats were much appreciated. Cottage is situated on a quiet lane frequented by horse riders and dog walkers mainly. There is seating outside but the wall is low so you do feel a bit overlooked. A few observations and suggestions for improvement, none of which would deter me from revisiting: 1. Some grab rails in the shower are much needed. The cottage is suitable for those with mobility needs except in this very important regard. Handles with suction cups could be provided for tenants to deploy if the owner does not want to fix permanently. 2. There are buckets for plastic, paper and card recycling but not glass! Where does glass go? 3. Please put some indication of where to find cutlery. It is in a sub drawer in another drawer. It is labelled but not immediately obvious - it took me 20 minutes to find it

    Thank you very much for all your constructive feedback. I will certainly look into getting some grab rails for the shower and put another notice on where to find the cutlery - sorry it took you so long. The glass box was by the outside rubbish bin but I will put a notice up for future guests’ on where to find it! Property Owner

    !!! Ewerby is a lovely quiet village with the Finch Hatton Hotel at it's centre. We had the perfect week taking in the local walks with our Golden Retriever and relaxing at the cottage, with the odd visit to the dog friendly Finch Hatton. We highly recommend the Sunday lunch there, and would consider booking in advance if you also have a four legged friend. Overall, I can't recommend the Asparagus Shed enough and will definitely return perhaps later in the year.

The property

Heckington 3.6 miles.

Resting in the quiet village of Ewerby, just a short drive from Heckington, lies this charming, one-bedroom holiday home, The Asparagus Shed.

Boasting a delightful, brick-clad exterior, off-road parking, crisp interiors with well-preserved features throughout, this property welcomes a couple seeking a refreshing escape to the heart of rural Lincolnshire.The Asparagus shed is part of a working farm and as the name suggests was formally used for washing, grading and bunching asparagus ready to be sold.

It is situated on a quiet lane with stunning views across to the large 13th century church.

There are several country walks accessed directly from your door and the village pub, The Finch Hatton Arms, is just a short walk away. If you can remove yourself from your tranquil new lodgings, be sure to explore some of what your local area has to offer after you’ve finished your morning coffee in the peaceful courtyard by first stopping into nearby Heckington, where you can stock up on supplies at the Co-Op, enjoy a pub lunch at the Royal Oak or a local beer at the 8 Sail Brewery next to the Heckington Windmill. If you want to make a day of it the city of Lincoln is accessible by car, and home to attractions such as the stunning historical landmarks of Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle (including Magna Carta), the inspiring Bomber Command Centre and the wonderful Doddington Hall.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
