The Paddock

Nestled in the pretty village of East Barkwith rests this traditional single-storey cottage, The Paddock. Centrally positioned within easy reach of the vibrant city of Lincoln and the picturesque Lincolnshire Wolds, The Paddock is an idyllic base to experience adventure or unwind in the countryside. A spacious gravelled driveway greets you upon arrival, inviting you over the threshold and into the handy hallway, providing ample storage space to house your belongings away from the main living areas. Freshen up in the cloakroom before heading through to the sitting room, traditionally decorated with period features including rustic wooden beams and an original brick inglenook fireplace - The sitting room offers wonderful views across the Wolds and is a homely space to kick off your shoes and unwind with a cup of tea in front of the television. Venture through to the open-plan kitchen/diner, fit with a farmhouse-style décor and housing all of the amenities necessary to prepare a heartwarming meal for the group, and gather your loved ones around the elegant dining table to indulge in your culinary delights as you plan your holiday itinerary. Take your celebrations outdoors with a leisurely seat on the patio, soaking in the tranquil setting of the peaceful space as you toast a refreshing glass of wine, or escape the excitement and enjoy an intimate seat in the cosy snug room, nestling into an armchair as you disappear into the pages of a captivating book. When sleep calls, retire to one of the two thoughtfully laid out bedrooms, with the choice between a sumptuous double room alongside a twin bedroom, both of which benefit from their own en-suite. Take a break from doing the cooking and take the short stroll to the nearby village pub, the Crossroads Inn, where you can indulge in a home-cooked meal washed down with a refreshing pint of cask ale; if you'd prefer to prepare a meal in the comfort of your holiday home, the nearby convenience store is well-stocked with all of the essentials. Lace up your walking boots and head off on foot to explore the picturesque landscape of the Lincolnshire Wolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, hosting a plethora of walking and cycling routes passing through woodland, grassland and rolling hills of some of Britain's finest countryside. Venture further afield to the bustling city of Lincoln, home to the 11th century ruined fortress of Lincoln Castle, the fascinating displays of history at the Museum of Lincolnshire Life, and the fabulous art featured at The Usher Gallery. Pick up a keepsake to remind you of your fun-filled holiday at one of the independent or high-street shops that line the streets, or get dressed to the nines and enjoy a night on the town. Treat your loved ones to a memorable stay in Lincolnshire with a break to The Paddock.
