  • "On arrival the barn was cosy and warm with lights on to welcome us."

    It is beautifully appointed down to the very last detail and spotlessly clean; comfortable beds, reclining sofas, plenty of room for 6 and very private; I would highly recommend

  • "A lovely stay in a clean and well equipped house."

    Thankyou for letting us stay on extra nights. Just a couple of nit picks..could do with a tumble dryer and the sofas have seen better days..wouldn't put me off staying again though as too many plusses.

  • "The accommodation was truly wonderful."

    Well kept, clean and user friendly. Instruction booklet and things to do booklet very comprehensive and easy to use. Although near small exclusive caravan site the area was beautifully kept and quiet. Weather not sunny enough for us to use the outside area but again it had everything one needs to have drinks outside and to do a bit of private sun bathing. Yes would recommend this accommodation to anyone who wanted an upgrade getaway.

  • "Barn Cottage was an absolute gem!"

    The description online was 100% accurate. Everything we needed was provided in the cottage. The beds were very comfortable, the interior & the grounds surrounding it were immaculate. The owners were on site when we arrived & were friendly & said if there was anything we needed just to ask. There was nothing lacking but it was reassuring to know they were only a call away. A fish and chip van visits on Wednesday evenings and the food was delicious

    It was lovely to meet you all. Thank you for such a lovely review, so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us ! Property Owner

  • "This was on of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in."

    It was very spacious, well appointed and warm. There were plenty of places to visit and its proximity to the beach meant that our two Frenchies had the run of the beach and the fields. We enjoyed our week and we’re lucky with the weather, only one wet day. We would not hesitate to recommend ‘the Barn’ to anyone considering it.

    Having access to the dog walking field on the caravan park is a real bonus. The whole place is beautiful and very well equipped. Lovely and clean, well designed with large light filled rooms. Lots to do in the area and the coast only 15 mins drive. Sutton on sea has a great dog walking beach. The best holiday accommodation we have stayed in.

About the location

ALFORD

Mablethorpe 8 miles; Skegness 11 miles; Louth 14 miles; Horncastle 15 miles.

Alford is a charming market town in Lincolnshire. It is set at the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is about 11 miles north-west of the coastal resort of Skegness. There is a wide range of shops including a pharmacy, grocers and two butchers as well as a large shop which specialises in doll’s houses and their contents. Alford has become an important centre for arts and crafts with many markets held throughout the year. The main market is held in the Market Place every Tuesday and Friday with the craft market being held every August Bank Holiday as well as Christmas markets being held every year. Alford is known for its Grade 1 listed working windmill, which is used commercially to produce stone-ground organic flour. Alford Manor House is a central point in the town, with its exhibitions and museum as well as a tea room and open gardens. With Alford being set in the Lincolnshire Wolds, there are plenty of walking and cycling routes to follow or even take a trip to the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway or Claythorpe Watermill and Wildfowl Gardens, where you will find plenty of birds and animals, with plenty of space to sit and relax with great views of the old mill. Within 30 mins, you will find the seaside resorts of Skegness and Mablethorpe, with great beaches, making a great playground for children and adults alike.
