Ideal as a touring base or for a relaxing holiday with plenty to see and do in the area. Just 10 miles to the east there are miles of quiet sandy beaches to stroll along and let the sea air blow away the stresses of daily life. The seal colony at Donna Nook, where up to 200 seals a year are born, is just 9½ miles, with the coastal resorts of Mablethorpe and Sutton-on-Sea within 20 minutes’ drive. Inland, the Georgian market town of Louth is a 3-mile drive, or a short taxi ride, which still boasts three markets a week, a wide range of shops and amenities, boutique shops and farmers’ markets, as well as a wide range of restaurants and bars to enjoy. Louth is also the gateway to the Lincolnshire Wolds, where you will find endless walks and cycle routes through the countryside with many good tea rooms and pubs on your travels for refreshment.

Where do I start! From the really good communication direct with Suzanne before the trip, with useful info this meant the journey and settling in was seamless. The location is beautiful and peaceful. Dad’s Shed has everything you may need and the fishing was awesome even on a cold February weekend! Both Suzanne and David were extremely friendly and we enjoyed our brief chats whilst they were passing by. All in all would definitely recommend Dad’s Shed and we will definitely return. Keep up the great work.

Absolutely gorgeous little place well looked after just need few bits looking at for eg.

Absolutely gorgeous little place well looked after just need few bits looking at for eg. Mattress way too soft and lots of people commenting on it already, dining chairs not very comfortable and sofa is solid. Nothing to wipe feet on from muddy garden. No external hot tub lights and a canopy over hot tub would make it brilliant to use all year as freezing rain wasn't very nice. Conservatory could have done with a heater as freezing eating dinner out there. Otherwise lovely place and if few bits mentioned above were replaced would definitely book again over and over. Very friendly hosts. Highly recommend if looking for rest and relaxation and a bit of fishing.
