An authentic Louth experience in the centre of this beautiful town. My period cottage with double bedroom and courtyard garden is perfectly located. Directly opposite St James church, less than a minutes walk from the pubs and restaurants and the town centre shops. Situated in the most sought after part of The Conservation Area, 25 minutes from the coast with its stunning unspoilt beaches but in the heart of the stunning Lincolnshire Wolds. Louth is an award winning Georgian gem of a town. The space The Cottage is a quirky and interesting period building in the very heart of the vibrant market town of Louth, with a great independent Deli accross the road and a choice of good independent pubs and shops within minutes walk. The Cottage comprises of one double bedroom with views over onto the famous and imposing St James Church which boasts the tallest spire of any church in England and is annually home to a breeding pair of peregrine falcons. It was the meeting point for the Lincolnshire rising in 1536. The cottage is most ideally suited for couples wanting to experience this part of the world in genuine privacy and a pace that suits them. There is also a pretty courtyard garden with a table and chairs, perfect for morning coffee or a late night glass of wine. Decorated with pretty festoon lights you can relax and study the spire of St James over the cottages roof. The produce in this part of Lincolnshire is exceptional and is reflected in the care and passion displayed by the many independent food retailers and restaurants. Free parking is just around the corner, or if you are lucky there are two spaces just across the road outside the wonderful Delicatessen selling a wide range of amazing food and drinks. Finally, the cottage is a great place to set off and explore The Wolds on foot by the many local set walks, many of which set off from St James church or by car to the coast or other pretty towns and villages nearby. Guest access Guests are free to arrive at the cottage at a time that suits them after 3pm. Entry to the cottage is via a secure key box giving you full flexibility, and allowing you to arrive a time that suits your needs on the day. Other things to note Because of the age of this property, the stairs to the first floor are quite steep, so if you think you might have difficulty with these, please contact me with your requirements before booking. The property is very old and it must be noted that certain aspects are different to what you might find in a brand new home. The roof was replaced a few years ago and improvements and cosmetic enhancements are constantly being made, but it is an ongoing process. Things like the low door heights or the steep stairs etc are just part of the cottages charm. The heating system was replaced in 2021 but the pipes can pop and bang when turned on from cold. The thermostat is a modern Google Nest Thermostat which if you are unfamiliar with, please let me know. It has caught out a couple of guests who were unable to work it out. For clarification, you can load or unload your car outside the property and the parking enforcement people in the town are pretty accommodating. Free parking is on Cisterngate (see map - it's the first road north of Bridge St) or paid parking is £2 a day on Bridge St itself (or free for 2 hours at a time). Please note, if bringing a pet, they must be pre-approved before your booking is confirmed. All dogs my be kept on a lead close to the garden door to prevent them from straying into the neighbouring properties gardens.
