About this property

Mablethorpe 3.9 miles. Butterfly Cottage is a grade II quaint cottage resting in Maltby le Marsh, Mablethorpe, attached yet independent to the Crown House next door, and offering off-road parking, it is ideal for a family or group of friends looking for a getaway to Lincolnshire. Enter into a delightful property with flagstone tiled flooring, discovering a light and airy open-plan living space with Victorian-style radiators and a sitting area with stylish furniture, ideal for a movie marathon as you warm your feet beside the woodburning stove. The kitchen houses ample amenities, tucked away into contemporary furniture, allowing guests to cook up a storm, which can be enjoyed at the dining table over a glass of fizz. Alternatively, when the sun is shining, guests can head outside and dine alfresco as their four-legged companions play on the lawn while you soak in the hot tub. As the evening draws in, freshen up in the stylish ground-floor shower room, before settling into one of the two well-presented bedrooms, choosing between a king-size and an adult bunk bed room. Maltby le Marsh is a delightful village offering a local pub, The Turk’s Head, a restaurant, The Stables Bar and Restaurant, and fishing at Oham Lakes. For more amenities and attractions, head into Mablethorpe, where there are convenience stores for all of your holiday essentials, as well as the lovely Mablethorpe Beach, a stunning sandy beach ideal for relaxing in the sunshine and taking to the waves in your favourite watersports.
