Church House rooms now open: Perfect luxury accommodation near Lincoln!
When it comes to enjoying quality time away, what do you value most? Privacy and space to stretch out? Somewhere with comfort, character and ambiance? Or perhaps accommodation with lovely surroundings and outdoor seating for those long summer evenings?
Our newly opened Church House has all these qualities. Elegantly renovated, we are delighted with the six new rooms on offer. Each offers space and stylish design, while maintaining various features typical of classic country houses in Lincolnshire. Think original stone and exposed beams; chic interior design and understated luxury. Add an idyllic location with pretty garden views and we think you’ll love it as much as we do!

Combining sophisticated flavours with a potent kick, little beats a well-mixed gin cocktail over ice on a warm afternoon.

Here are some of our favourite G&T recipes and summer drinks, along with cocktail making tips; ideal for hot days and summer parties.
