About this property
Resting on the outskirts of Lincolnshire, in the coastal village of North Somercotes is Tawny Owl Cottage, a delightful, single-storey abode. Just paces away from a host of local amenities and a short journey from the beach, the cottage offers guests a stylish open plan interior, with a homely snug to relax in and a large pet-friendly garden with a 6 seater hot tub, the accommodation invites two visitors for a relaxing getaway, with two furry companions in tow. Travel down the private shared driveway and park up outside before entering the well-equipped kitchen/diner, providing everything that you'll need for a self-catered stay, including an electric oven and hob, and a convenient breakfast bar with USB charging sockets, desk phone charger and a music system. If you'd prefer to dine alfresco, locate the large private rear garden, complete with several patio areas, a barbecue, a bubbling hot tub, a hammock, an egg chair and truly spoil yourself with an indulgent soak before toasting to some quality time. Refresh later in the sleek shower room ahead of cosying up in the snug in front of the woodburning stove. Then climb into the plush double bed before you awake feeling refreshed and spend a day exploring your surroundings, starting with a hike across one of many nature reserves enveloping the area; choose from Donna Nook Grey Seal Colony, Rimac Nature Reserve, and Gibraltor Point, all peppered with wildlife.
Baby pup seals are currently at the local nature Sanctuary.
Make your way towards the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB, firstly stopping off at the quaint market town of Louth and take in a Museum Tour, or climb Hubbard's Hills for a breath-taking vantage point and stroll along the meandering stream. Spend another day at Cleethorpes Beach and enjoy award-winning fish and chips on the pier, then aboard a steam train on the coastal light railway for a fun experience, brush up on your local knowledge at Time Trap Museum, or explore the local country park. Continue south towards both Mablethorpe and Skegness beaches; both recommended to visit for a host of seaside attractions or stay closer to the cottage and visit Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes which is an area of specific scientific interest. Tawny Owl Cottage really does offer it all, from lovely countryside rambles accross the Wolds to coastal days out, as well as the opportunity to relax and unwind!

There is a lovely cosy log burner which we lit once on a chilly evening with plenty of logs to put on it, it was just perfect for us and we will be returning. Thank you again

The property is very comfortable and clean with a decent sized TV for a change, has all the things you need and loved the little intricacies dotted about which were not overlooked. We couldnât believe the size of the garden which was for our sole use during the stay - Tiki Bar a bonus too. The hot tub is just to die for - top of the range - not just any old tub thrown in to gain extra rental! Absolutely by far the best place we have ever stayed so far. Just one extremely minute grizzle - we missed having something in the shower cubicle to put shampoo etc on rather than having to bend overâ¦. Kat & Stu - September 2024
