Ashcroft, Lancashire

Ashcroft is a stunning woodland lodge tucked away in the heart of Lincolnshire. This timber retreat sits in a peaceful spot where birds provide the soundtrack and stars light up the night. Perfect for escaping the daily grind without sacrificing modern comforts. Ashcroft offers that rare mix - genuine seclusion with all the essentials.

The surrounding countryside gives you room to breathe. Walk through ancient woodlands where sunlight filters through leaves. Fish at nearby lakes stocked with carp and bream. Cycle quiet country lanes that wind through sleepy villages with centuries-old pubs. Later, sink into your private hot tub with a glass of something cold. Who said relaxation had to be complicated?

The lodge features an open-plan living area with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light. A fully-equipped kitchen means self-catering is a breeze. Two bedrooms (one double, one twin) sleep four comfortably. The bathroom includes both shower and bath options. Everything's on one level - ideal for those with mobility considerations.

Nearby attractions include Lincoln Cathedral (18 miles, 30 minutes), Tattershall Castle (7 miles, 15 minutes), Woodhall Spa (5 miles, 10 minutes) and Lincolnshire Wildlife Park (22 miles, 40 minutes). Each offers something different for day trips.

Ashcroft works brilliantly for families, couples or friends. The hot tub alone makes it worth booking. Sometimes the best holidays happen when you do absolutely bugger all!
