Situated in the peaceful hamlet of Ashby De La Launde, you’ll be proximal to Sleaford, Lincoln, Grantham, Newark and Boston. Also nearby are the RAF bases Cranwell, Waddington, Digby and Coningsby: you might be lucky enough to see the red arrows fly overhead. You’ll also be just 11 miles from historic Lincoln city centre, which offers a castle, a cathedral and the famous 'Steep Hill', with its many independent shops and eateries to enjoy. The National Trust’s 17th-century Belton House is 18 miles away and features 1,300 acres of gardens and parkland, whilst Woodhall Spa National Golf Centre is 14 miles away and offers two highly rated courses. Sleaford is 7 miles away, while Newark and Grantham are around 20 miles distant. The barn forms part of a quadrangle courtyard, sitting within the owners small holding, with an abundance of wildlife on your doorstep.

The cottage was really great, lovely secluded location but still accessible to all the local villages and towns within 30min drive. It was very well equipped and we didn't need for anything during our stay. We loved the resident runner ducks going out for a walk every day.

Fabulous stay. You couldnt ask for more, Stella and Simon were perfect hosts. Lots of animals to say hello too with chickens, ducks, pheasants and deer wandering past the door daily.

Wow! This cottage is fabulous. Stella & Simon have thought of everything. The cottage was incredibly well equipped with a fully-stocked kitchen (not the normal 4 sets of crockery etc), lots of books to borrow & things you might have forgotten in the bathroom. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas, with gifts left for us too. Stella even left eRead morextra tins, foil, cutlery etc for our family visiting for a Christmas dinner. It's a little haven, hidden away in the countryside but accessible! Hide

This was our second stay at the Little Barn and we hope it will not be our last. We had a lovely time in beautiful surroundings. The hosts could not have been more helpful and the barn comes very well equipped and with a welcome hamper.

A lovely cottage in very peaceful surroundings. Everything you need is to hand and the beds and sofas are all very comfortable. The owners are very helpful but not are not intrusive at all. It was nice to see chickens , ducks and even a couple of deer during our stay. Would recommend it to any one looking for a nice peaceful cottage.

We have stayed at many holiday properties over the years and we have to say that The Little Barn is in a top rate holiday let. Having received a warm welcome from Stella and Simon, and reassurance that they are just next door if you need them for anything, we settled in. The welcome pack was very generous, and all the supplies were ther for a delicRead moreious breakfast the next day and a bottle of prosecco to enjoy on the private patio.

The accommodation was very well equipped, comfortable and quiet. The hosts were very friendly, always available if needed (but they never were). It's an easy drive to Lincoln which has various attractions, making it a great place to visit and there are a number of historic properties to visit nearby. We had a lovely break and would be very happy toRead more return in the future. Hide
