Tucked away in a peaceful woodland setting, this stunning lodge offers the perfect countryside escape for those seeking rest, relaxation, and a touch of luxury. Overlooking the rolling hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds – a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – the lodge is located in the charming village of Raithby, near Spilsby, and offers an idyllic retreat for walkers, nature lovers, and anyone eager to explore this often-overlooked corner of England.
The Lincolnshire Wolds are renowned for their sweeping landscapes, gentle valleys, and patchwork of farmland and wildflower meadows. Here, you’ll find a slower pace of life and an abundance of scenic walks and cycling routes right from your doorstep. Take a hike along the Viking Way or explore nearby market towns such as Louth and Horncastle, both rich in character and history. Louth, known as the "capital of the Wolds", is famed for its Georgian architecture, local food markets, and the towering spire of St James’ Church. Meanwhile, Horncastle is a haven for antique lovers and brims with independent shops, cafés, and tearooms.
For those craving a day by the sea, the beautiful Lincolnshire coast is less than a 30-minute drive away. Visit the sandy beaches of Skegness or the quieter shores of Anderby Creek, perfect for birdwatching and beachcombing. For a taste of heritage, Gunby Hall, a National Trust property, is just a short drive from the lodge, offering stunning gardens and historic interiors to explore.
After a day of adventure, return to your luxurious woodland hideaway. The lodge itself has been finished to an exceptional standard, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. A cosy wood-burning stove forms the heart of the open-plan living space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere on cooler evenings. Large picture windows and French doors bring the outside in, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding trees and rolling hills beyond. The interiors are stylish yet snug, with plush furnishings, a fully equipped kitchen, and thoughtful touches throughout.
Step outside onto your private deck to enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine as the sun sets behind the Wolds. Birds sing in the trees and wildlife may wander through the woodland – it’s a truly magical setting.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Lodge. Everything you needed was there. It was warm, cosy and - well - perfect! There was a lovely Welcome Box which was really thoughtful, and even our dog didn’t miss out as he had his own bag of treats in there! The setting is just beautiful and we were lucky enough with the weather to sit outside to simply enjoy the peacefulness. Hosts Sarah and Jono left us to it and The Lodge is an absolute credit to them. The only bad thing was that we had to leave! We will definitely be back! x

We had a wonderful week staying at the Lodge in the Woods with our GSD Dexter. The location is beautiful and very peaceful and we loved the view from the lodge looking out to the woodland. On one evening we opened up the doors completely which gave us a feel of being immersed in the space. Sarah and Jono have provided so much in the lodge and our dog Dexter loved wandering up into the woodland whenever he wanted to. We will definitely return to this beautiful place which is one of the best we’ve ever stayed in and we’ve been to many places over many years including two trips to Lincolnshire.
