This 2-bedroom lodge is a striking red-brick building set on a working farm in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire. Large arched windows, exposed brickwork, wooden beams and a vaulted ceiling give it real character. The split-level layout feels spacious yet comfortable and the stylish interiors mix rustic and contemporary touches throughout.

Woodhall Spa is a small Edwardian village with independent shops, dog-friendly cafes and bars, a golf course and the Kinema in the Woods, a working cinema that opened in 1922. The lodge sits beside a river with waterside views and direct access up steps built into the bank. Perfect for quiet walks.

Two king-size bedrooms sleep four guests, one downstairs and one upstairs in the mezzanine. Both have en-suite shower rooms with WC. There is also a separate downstairs WC. The open-plan kitchen-diner sits on the ground floor. The upstairs mezzanine lounge has skylights and plenty of natural light.

Tattershall Castle (National Trust) is 7 miles away. Lincoln with its cathedral and castle is 18.5 miles. Bolingbroke Castle ruins, birthplace of Henry IV, are 17 miles away. Electric vehicle charging is available on site.

This lodge suits two couples or a small group wanting a stylish countryside base. Working farm setting, waterside access and Woodhall Spa on the doorstep make this a genuinely good choice.
