Mayfield Retreats - Mayfield Lodge

Mayfield Lodge is fully equipped for a week away without worrying about what you've forgotten. The ground floor open-plan space has a kitchen with electric oven and hob, fridge, microwave and washing machine. The living area comes with Freeview Smart TV and PlayStation 4. Three double bedrooms and a shower room with walk-in enclosure mean six people can stay comfortably. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all included; a travel cot and highchair are available if needed.

The lodge sits in Burton Pedwardine, a village six miles from Sleaford, where trains run to the coast and beyond. One dog stays free. There's a private hot tub for eight in an enclosed front garden with patio and furniture, plus private parking for three cars and an electric charging point. From the village, footpaths and cycle routes lead through the surrounding countryside; the paddock next door sometimes has deer. Sleaford has a market for local crafts and produce, and Mayfield Vineyard is in the village itself. Lincoln, with its historic attractions, is within reach for a day out.
