  • "Jody the host was very friendly and welcoming."

    A lovely welcome me hamper was gratefully received. Sunnyside cottage was extremely spacious and had everything we needed. The only downside was both double beds very creaky with every tiny movement. On the whole beautiful cottage in a very pleasant rural location. Thank you x

    Judy left us a beautiful welcome basket, which was delicious. We loved the peaceful surroundings and the cottage was perfect. The fully enclosed, dog friendly garden was fabulous for our two crazy labradors, and the outside seating and BBQ were great. Would love to go back soon (if Judy hasn't sold up!)

    The kitchen could do with more equipment but since the landlady is retiring on health grounds and the property is up for sale it isn't worth making any suggestions.

There was so many places to visit in driving distance too, but our toddler and 3 year old were more than happy to stay in the house, garden and play with toys and games from the snug, that we sometimes we struggled to get them into the car for a day out exploring. Our 3 year old son enjoyed himself that much he keeps asking, 'when are we going back to the beautiful, precious house?'

The property

Helpringham 2.5 miles.

Tucked away in the wonderful scenery of the Lincolnshire countryside on the well-kept grounds of the owner's property, is this gorgeous self-catering cottage.

Beautifully renovated to a high standard, Sunnyside Cottage exudes style through it's contemporary furnishings and chic neutral colour scheme, together creating a luxurious base from which a group of six and their four-legged friends can discover the very best that the area has to offer.

The large kitchen can be found boasting a traditional range cooker and a striking Belfast sink, along with an abundance of essential appliances that lie within the beautiful cream shaker-style cabinets, and a spacious dining table that takes centre stage.

Just a few steps away lies a lovely sun room, perfect for enjoying a refreshing bottle of wine on a warm afternoon.

Open up the patio door and step out into the enclosed back garden, where you can delight in dinner alfresco out on the patio whilst the dogs play freely on the lawn.

Back inside, a restful sitting room provides the ultimate space to relax, whilst the adjoining snug hosts an extensive range of books and games for an entertaining evening challenging friends with some healthy competition.

Up on the first floor, three homely bedrooms await your arrival including two doubles and a twin.

The bedrooms are all complete with a plethora of storage and are serviced by an attractive family bathroom featuring an eye-catching blue bath and an impressive double walk-in shower.

When you can just about tear yourself away from this inviting abode, be sure to explore the area of Swaton as you set about on one of the many woodland walks or RAF trails within the area, spotting lots of wildlife along the way.

Grab your bikes from the secured storage and embark on an exciting cycle through vast terrains of Bourne Wood.

Visit the grand 17th century manor of Belton House, a National Trust owned property with opulent antiques, elegant furnishings, and well-manicured lawns making a fabulous day out for you and your canine companions.

Venture out to Heckington, a quaint little village home to a scatter of amenities including a local shop for picking up any essentials, a choice of pubs and bars and two cafés, all catering to a variety of tastes, while other wonderful attractions in the village include its swimming pool, Grade I listed church and windmill, which is the only eight-sailed tower windmill in the world with it's own brewery and cafe, and the family-friendly Heckington Show hosted once a year, with agricultural, horticultural and Craft activities making a fantastic day out for all.

Spend the day in the city of Lincoln, where you can tour the Norman fortress of Lincoln Castle and the 16th century Guildhall, as well as the Gothic architecture of Lincoln Cathedral.

Hop in the car and head for Horncastle, home to the excellent Wolds Wildlife Park and the incredible landscapes of the Banovallum Carr Nature Reserve.

Avid historians will relish in a visit to the ruins of Barlings and Tupholme Abbey, whilst those travelling with young families will enjoy a day out to Springfield's Adventure Land or the nearby Twinlakes Park.
