About this property
Woodbine Cottage is a charming and cosy retreat in the sleepy hamlet of West Torrington, three miles from the small town of Wragby in Lincolnshire. The cottage would have an amazing tale to tell if it could speak as it dates back to the 16th century when the world was a completely different place to the one we know today. Constructed of local materials known as mud and stud and supported by beautiful beams taken from ships' timbers, the cottage has been beautifully restored weaving the delightful, traditional build with modern conveniences of the 21st century. This welcoming holiday home is over three floors and has three bedrooms, two on the first floor and one an attic room on the second floor.
There’s a bathroom on the first floor, and on the ground are an open plan living area with a warming woodburning stove and a sun room that doubles as a utility. Walks and cycling are available in the immediate area and fishing lakes are nearby. The small town of Wragby is close by and has pubs, a fish and chip shop, a café and a restaurant, as well as a regular bus service. Within reach is Lincoln, with it’s two unmissable attractions – the magnificent Gothic cathedral and the castle with its Medieval wall walk, and shopping is particularly good here, especially in Upper Lincoln and at the historic Bailgate.
Lincolnshire has it all - city, coast and countryside, with this delightful cottage an ideal base to visit the county.
West Torrington is a beautiful hamlet nestled at the base of the Lincolnshire Wolds in the central part of the county. Wragby offers three friendly pubs, a fish and chip shop, a cafe and a restaurant. There's also a regular bus service linking Horncastle and the coastal towns. From West Torrington you are not far from Cadwell Park for motor sports and the Viking Way for walking through the Wolds, and great cycling can be enjoyed including the No. 1 cycle route. Take a trip to the city of Lincoln, marvel at its impressive cathedral and castle or meander through the Bailgate with its many interesting shops. A wonderful base for exploring Lincolnshire all year round.

The negativity for us was the way we were accused of burning the attic bedroom carpet. A room we never went into or used. It was obvious which rooms we used.

So quiet and peaceful. Cottage was very equipped with everything you needed. Nice extras like welcome back which included milk, butter, jam, crisps etc. Also provided toiletries. Good communication with the owner as well.

Well located for visiting Lincoln & the coast. Ideal for two adults, with or without children, but it would be a bit cramped for four adults, especially upstairs and with only one bathroom/loo. Note to owners - we were very conscious of the parking, being on the lawn in wet weather. It would be more comfortable to park if there were a couple of tracks laid in the grass similar to the path.
