Jockhedge - The Barn

Five miles inland from Skegness, this converted barn sits within extensive grounds near Burgh le Marsh. Jockhedge - The Barn is a standalone property on a larger site, giving you privacy while the surrounding countryside provides quiet walking and a slower pace than the seafront. The coast itself is close enough for a day trip; the flat terrain around here suits families wanting both beach time and village calm.

Everything is on the ground floor: an open-plan living area with a gas fire and Freeview TV flows into the kitchen, where you can cook proper meals with an electric oven and hob. Bedroom one has a zip-and-link bed that can be configured as a double or singles; bedroom two holds a single plus a pull-out single. The shower room is compact and functional. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all provided, along with fuel for the fire. One dog is welcome. You have private parking for two cars, and there are shared grounds with garden furniture, though note there is an unfenced lake on the property.

The cottage suits couples, small families, or friends wanting their own space without the fuss of a larger house. No smoking is permitted inside.
