Lincolnshire

Is Linconshire a good place for a weekend lodge break?

Get ready to experience one of the best destinations in the UK for a quick getaway on the weekend. Pack the car with tasty goodies, friends, family, pets or none of the above and motor down to England’s 7th largest county. Here you’ll find tranquil countryside, beautiful coastal areas to explore and some famous locations to visit.

Visit the city of Lincoln and discover history spanning back to the Iron age. Or skip the lesson and try out some of the locally brewed beers in Lincolnshire’s legendary pub scene. You’ll find all kinds of activities and days out here from the theatre to the annual agricultural show (if you’re into your gardening!)

You also get the best of the traditional English seaside here with the award-winning Skegness,  Mablethorpe, Cleethorpes and the classic painted beach huts of Sutton on Sea. There’s something for all ages in this county and the best way to see it is on a weekend lodge break.

Pup-pleasing end-of-week holidays

Canine holidaymakers are very much a part of Lincolnshire and you’ll find plenty here to keep the more hairy members of your family just as happy. From the vast open spaces, to pet-friendly restaurants and bars to the coastal paths you can trek together. Lincolnshire is a very popular area for taking a weekend break with your pooch.

Lincolnshire, with its stunning Wolds, dog-friendly beaches along its coast, and pubs offering delicious meals, is a top vacation destination for both humans and their playful pups. The scenic beauty and various activities make it an ideal spot for a getaway with your furry friend.

Going with family and kids

If your kids are anything like mine, they’re not especially fussy about where they go – all holidays are awesome! Especially if there’s a hot tub or ‘mini swimming pool’ waiting when they get there. Booking a family-sized lodge will give you plenty of room to unwind, stick them in another room with their games when you need a rest and, of course, share some quality family time together!

Lincolnshire has a wealth of attractions you can take any family to as well. From famous historic houses and castles built by the Romans

Romantic Weekend Getaways

So is this a good destination for a romantic staycation? Pick a really nice lodge with a hot tub and you’ll have a special little hideaway for just you and your significant other.

Getting away from it all with your other half in a log cabin is one of the more romantic ways to spend a vacation any time of year. Heading out from your accommodation you’ll find lots of special days out, romantic restaurants and beautiful countryside and coastal walks you can take together.
