St Michael Church is a converted former church in Market Stainton, a quiet village in the Lincolnshire Wolds. Set directly opposite the village green, this two-bedroom property sleeps four and is packed with original features exposed beams, arched windows, high ceilings and the original church bells still suspended in the upper bedroom. No hot tub, but the architecture more than compensates. Access is through a quaint gate leading to the grand church front door.

Market Stainton sits within the Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Footpaths and bridleways lead straight from the door in every direction. Horncastle known as the Gateway to the Wolds is just 8 miles away with antique shops and Roman wall remains.

Two bedrooms sleep four guests. The downstairs king-size bedroom retains original church character. The second-floor double bedroom features exposed beams with original church bells suspended directly above the bed. One contemporary bathroom with shower over bath is located downstairs.

Lincoln Castle (23 miles, 35 mins), Horncastle (8 miles, 15 mins), Woodhall Spa (14 miles, 22 mins) and the Lincolnshire Wolds walking trails are all within easy reach.

St Michael Church suits couples and families who want space, history and countryside on the doorstep. The original bells, arched windows and lawned garden make this genuinely memorable.
