Carp Cottage is one of several properties dotted across a 20-acre working arable farm between Lincoln and Newark. The cottage itself is yours alone, a three-bedroom base that sleeps six across one double and two pairs of single beds, served by a shower room on the first floor. Downstairs, an open-plan living and dining space opens onto a lawned garden; the kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine, so you can cook properly or keep things simple. Bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are supplied; heating is oil central and costs are metered for electricity.
What sets this farm stay apart are the shared facilities. There is a heated indoor swimming pool (4m by 10m, open year-round) with changing rooms and showers. Two fishing lakes sit in the grounds—free to use if you have a licence—though note they are unfenced and about 55 yards from the cottage. The 20 acres also offer space for sitting out and walking. Parking on site takes three cars. Lincoln's cathedral and castle lie five miles away; Newark showground with its antique fairs is roughly 15 minutes' drive. Burton Waters marina, with restaurants and shops, is nearby, and there are good walking and cycling routes across the area. A shop is three-quarters of a mile away; the nearest pub and restaurant two miles. No smoking inside the cottage.

What guests say
Our second visit in a year. Such lovely, friendly people. Every need is met. Natasha came around to check all was OK with the cottage and we had a minor issue which was resolved by the time we came back from a day out. The cottage is very well equipped and the 3 bathrooms were a massive bonus to us, especially with my dad, who is 104, so the ground floor bedroom with his own bathroom was massively appreciated. Beautiful surroundings, big swimming pool and very peaceful, but within 20 mins of the city centre, are all you need for a fantastic holiday. Thanks Natasha and Peter.

Had a wonderful relaxing holiday. The accommodation had everything you need for a very comfortable stay. It has good fishing on offer to it's guests. There's a great pool as well ,and lots of grounds to walk . The properties have a gated entrance so you fell secure . Peter the owner and Natasha are very friendly and make you feel welcome. Its only a short drive Doddington hall , you could walk it if you felt up to it. You are also only 15 minutes from Lincoln centre so it's a great base to visit the surrounding area

What a lovely few days we had and a bit thank you to Natasha and Peter. Excellent communication before hand and throughout. Such a beautiful place. We stayed with our family in Carp Cottage. it was beautifully clean and all the extras was really appreciated, especially the lovely box of chocolates!! The pool was an added bonus which we all really enjoyed. Again really clean and a lovely table and chairs next to it to sit and enjoy watching the kids have fun. The open fields were great for playing catch with the kids and the scenery lovely. Our grandchildren loved meeting the three very friendly dogs. I cannot fault the place at all. Everything was perfect. Thank you! we may be back one day.
