The Pavilion

Two people looking for somewhere quiet will find The Pavilion suits them well. This single-bedroom property on the ground floor is set up for couples wanting a proper retreat rather than a stopover, with a hot tub in the enclosed garden and a woodburner in the living room for cooler evenings. Everything is on one level, and an ensuite shower means you have your own space without fuss.

The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking or keeping things simple—your choice. You get bed linen, towels, wi-fi and heating included, plus logs for the burner. One dog can stay free if you're bringing a companion. There's room for two cars and a patio where you can sit with the fields beyond; the hot tub overlooks the same view.

You're 7 miles from the east coast's Blue Flag beaches and their long sandy walks. Inland, Alford lies 3½ miles away with shops and restaurants, while Louth—a market town with independent retailers and cafés—is 25 minutes' drive. The pub is half a mile on foot. No smoking inside the property.
