It's definitely feeling a lot more like Autumn 🍂.

We're doing a special offer over the next few months - stay for 2 nights and the 3rd is free!
The nightly rate is £90 but with this offer, you get 3 for £180 😀.

We have heating in the main living area, and the bathroom, and there's so much to do in the surrounding area, so why not come and take advantage of a cosy few days away.

DM me to book.

Not the greatest of photos but we're really happy to have received Superhost status yet again, from AirBnb!

We've managed to achieve this every quarter since we started, so we're really proud of that, and thank you to all our lovely guests that left such lovely reviews.

Come and see for yourselves! We have heating for the winter months and have discounts for direct bookings!

An early morning walk with Walter this morning, along the old railway line at Stixwould.

This is only 10 minutes from the hut, and you can walk the old track for miles, to Lincoln or Boston, following the river.

We parked at Stixwould, and the old station house and platform are still there, so really interesting and it's usually deserted!

We have availability this day! Come and enjoy the experience 😊🚴

The Ebrington Arms is a 16th century pub and restaurant situated in the village of Kirkby on Bain, near Woodhall Spa in Lincolnshire.

An early morning walk with Walter today, watching the sunrise 🌅.
This is the footpath that goes directly from the hut, so great for dog walks 🐾.

Following advice from an expert, please note our new Fishing Etiquette rules:
Fish Welfare Guidance for Guests Fishing on Our River

We are committed to maintaining high standards of fish welfare and ask all anglers to follow the guidance below while fishing on our river.

Fish Handling Rules

* An unhooking mat must be used for all fish that are brought onto the bank.
* Fish must never be placed directly on the ground, grass, gravel or hard surfaces.
* Fish should be returned to the water as quickly as possible after capture.
* Hands should be wetted before handling any fish to protect the fish’s natural slime coating.
* Barbless or de-barbed hooks are strongly recommended to minimise injury and speed up unhooking.
* Appropriate landing nets should be used and should be wetted before use.

Photography

* Anglers must not stand while holding a fish for photographs.
* All photographs should be taken while kneeling or crouching close to the ground and over the unhooking mat.
* Fish should only be lifted for the shortest possible time required for a quick photograph.
* If a fish appears distressed or requires recovery, it should be returned immediately without photographs being taken.

Returning Fish

* Fish should be supported upright in the water until they are able to swim away strongly on their own.
* Any fish showing signs of stress should be given additional recovery time in the water before release.

General Conduct

* Anglers are expected to fish responsibly and with respect for wildlife and the environment.
* Any injured fish or incidents affecting fish welfare should be reported to the property owner or manager.
* Failure to follow these fish welfare requirements may result in fishing permissions being withdrawn.

Thank you for helping us protect our fish stocks and preserve the quality of fishing for future visitors

I'm not great at updating this page but we just had another great review on AirBnb.
We've also just been awarded Superhost status again.

It's so nice to know we're still doing things right but do book direct if you can to save money on fees 😊.

Did you know we are Dog Friendly?

This is a walk I did with Walter this morning, in the Lincolnshire Wolds. It's about a 12 minute drive from the hut on a bridleway with these incredible views.
We were the only people for miles!
I can provide OS maps for the area, or suggest routes for you.
