In Lincolnshire, there is a lovely market town called Alford. About 11 miles to the northwest of the seaside resort of Skegness, it is situated at the base of the Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A wide variety of stores are present, including a pharmacy, a grocery store, two butchers, and a sizable store that specialises in doll houses and their accessories. Alford has grown to be a significant arts and crafts hub thanks to the numerous markets that take place there all year long. Every Tuesday and Friday, the major market is held in the Market Place. Additionally, there are annual Christmas markets and an August Bank Holiday craft market. The Grade 1 listed functioning windmill in Alford is famous for producing stone-ground organic flour for industry. With its museum, exhibitions, tea room, and open gardens, Alford Manor House serves as the town's focal point. Alford is located on the Lincolnshire Wolds, so there are many walking and biking paths to take. You can also visit the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway or Claythorpe Watermill and Wildfowl Gardens, which have plenty of space to sit and relax and offer fantastic views of the old mill. In less than 30 minutes, you can reach Skegness and Mablethorpe, two seaside towns with wonderful beaches that make wonderful playgrounds for both kids and adults. Visit the towns of Louth or Horncastle for something different; they both have a good selection of stores and bars as well as frequent street and farmers markets. You will not want for things to do during your stay in this beautiful region of Lincolnshire.

The description online was 100% accurate. Everything we needed was provided in the cottage. The beds were very comfortable, the interior & the grounds surrounding it were immaculate. The owners were on site when we arrived & were friendly & said if there was anything we needed just to ask. There was nothing lacking but it was reassuring to know they were only a call away. A fish and chip van visits on Wednesday evenings and the food was delicious

Thoughtful welcome pack with local goodies and tea / coffee. Close to beaches and local attractions. The use of the dog walk nearby was appreciated. Paul and Lisa very friendly and welcoming. We felt at home the minute we arrived and will return. Highly recommend this 5 star property.
