Horseshoe

Couples and solo travellers looking for a quiet break will find Horseshoe works well. The cottage sits on a nature reserve near Saltfleetby, with the sand dunes a short walk away and the Lincolnshire coast within reach on foot. Everything is on the ground floor: a combined living and dining room with a sofa and dining table, a kitchen fitted with the basics for self-catering, a double bedroom, and a bathroom with a shower over the bath. Bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are provided, and the heating is included. One dog stays free.

The bedroom has views across the countryside, and there's an enclosed garden with patio and seating outside. Walking and birdwatching are natural activities here, and Dona Nook (known for seals) is nearby. The quieter coastal villages of Sutton on Sea and Anderby Creek are worth exploring, while Mablethorpe and Skegness offer more conventional seaside attractions. Inland, Louth is a short drive away, as are Horncastle for antiques, Market Rasen racecourse, and Lincoln with its castle and cathedral. A shop and food pub are about a mile away. No smoking in the property.
