About this property
Settled in the quaint village of Huttoft, within easy reach of a rural beach, rests this single-storey holiday cabin, Cranford House. This one-bedroom property is idyllic for a couple seeking an escape to the east coast of Lincolnshire, with lots to see and do. Upon arrival, be greeted by a private driveway where you can leave your vehicle and move luggage inside with ease. Enter through the gated rear courtyard, where you will find furniture to enjoy your cup of tea in the morning sunshine, as well as chimenea fire pit to roast marshmallows in the evening. Step inside to discover the compact kitchen with an oven, hob, and microwave to rustle up tasty dishes and you can store your favourite treats in the fridge/freezer. Moving through your holiday home, locate the living/dining room, with a sofa to curl up on as the TV does the entertaining and a toasty electric fire to snuggle by as you enjoy a hot chocolate. When stomachs begin to rumble, settle down at the dining table to enjoy a romantic meal and why not uncork a bottle of wine to toast to your hideaway? As the evening draws to a close, rinse the sand away in the shower room and make use of the light up mirror for your skincare routine. When sleep calls, a double bed awaits, climb in with a good book or flicker through the TV for a film night beneath the covers. Get better acquainted with your surroundings and take a short car journey to the peaceful beach to let the sea-breeze awaken you. Be sure to treat yourself with a fresh ice cream or a baked delight from Farmer Brown's Ice Cream or for a beverage head to the traditional local, the Axe & Cleaver. Soak in the coastal sights from Anderby Creek, a quiet hamlet with a long path, which will lead you to Chapel Point, home to small arcades and quirky pubs. Explore the attractions in the bustling town of Skegness, where you can enjoy a date night at bowling, strolls along the pier and an aquarium to see wonderful marine life. For long-lasting memories, choose Cranford House - Angel's Retreat for a blissful getaway.
Huttoft is a pleasant village in Lincolnshire, situated between Mablethorpe and Skegness and only 3 miles from a sandy beach. Farmer Brown's Farm Made Ice Cream & Coffee Shop, a village shop and a service station for supplies, and Farmer Brown's Farm Made Ice Cream & Coffee Shop for a delectable treat, are all located in the hamlet.

It's in a lovely quiet village but ideally situated to visit all the attractions in the area. We chose the wrong time of year really (January) as lots of the places are still closed for the winter and it was extremely cold outside. But would recommend this property if a quiet break in Lincolnshire is what you are looking for.
