    “Beautiful and with lovely, far reaching views.”

    Farmland on all sides and you can even see ships making their way down the Trent from the back of the hut. Everything we needed for a weekend stay - the fire warmed the hut up so quickly although remember to bring your own fuel! Bed was huge and super comfy, great views while I had my morning cuppa. Friendly alpacas and sheep in the field behind always having a nosey at what we were doing. Lots of wild life around and easy location to get to the Humber and the various nature reserves along the ...

    Farmland on all sides and you can even see ships making their way down the Trent from the back of the hut. Everything we needed for a weekend stay - the fire warmed the hut up so quickly although remember to bring your own fuel! Bed was huge and super comfy, great views while I had my morning cuppa. Friendly alpacas and sheep in the field behind always having a nosey at what we were doing. Lots of wild life around and easy location to get to the Humber and the various nature reserves along the Humber banks (many not dog friendly though so do check!). We had a day out in Lincoln which was an easy hours drive. Would love to come back in the summer to try out the decking and the BBQ!

    Thank you for your kind words. Glad you both enjoyed it. Property Owner
