Great host, brilliant for dog owners as there are 3 fields to walk in, let alone the wolds are quite literally over the road. Great location for Louth facilities, walks in the woods or hills of the wolds. About an hour to quiet beaches, great for long walks and doggies adventures.

We stayed with our two dogs, lovely local areas to discover. The owner was very welcoming and friendly and ensured we enjoyed our stay, we hope to return againRead more very soon. Hide

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.
