About the home
The original Station Master's House sits trackside the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway - a heritage line that runs Steam Trains at weekends and on special days.
Set aside the obvious rail enthuasiast attraction and you have a stunning and unusual self-catering holiday home that sleeps 8 (with room for 2 more!) in an Area of Outstanding Beauty - the Lincolnshire Wolds.
Beautiful scenery set against the backdrop of Lincolnshire's famous wide open skies, there are great walks and cycle routes right from your doorstep!
Only 9 miles from the Theme Park at Cleethorpes, we are surrounded by quaint market towns - all with their own charm and character. Lincolnshire's Capital Market Town of Louth is just 6 miles down the road and begs a visit!
Golf courses, fishing ponds and animal farms for the kids are in abundance - you'll be spoilt for choice!
Not to mention the many other attractions, you have a wealth of opportunities just a short distance away in any direction.
Yet, with all this, this is a real haven of peace and tranquillity where you can feel far away from the madding crowd...

The Heart of England / Peak District / Lincolnshire region
Lincolnshire is host to an abundance of activities! Endless walking and cycling routes, including the Viking Way and 125 miles of the Sustrans Hull to Harwich Cycle Route which passes through Lincolnshire joining two ports, hence its popularity with visiting cyclists from overseas.
Rich in aviation history, home to old and new – 617 squadron Dambusters and the Red Arrows. Colour and soft scent cover the county as 150 Gardens and Nurseries open for the season. Scattered throughout the county are many hidden treasures including one of the original four copies of the Magna Carta, housed in Lincoln Castle, the birthplace of the poet Alfred Tennyson and the former home of Sir Isaac Newton. Another must, is sampling a ‘Taste of Lincolnshire’, fresh local produce for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Lincolnshire's weekly markets are thriving and lively. Most shops are still family businesses with skills and recipes handed down through the generations – do try Lincolnshire sausages, plum bread and stuffed chine.
The Louth area
Ideally situated for cycling, walking, fishing and golf – the range of nature and wildlife as soon as you step out of the door never fails to delight! A birdwatcher's paradise, we keep the feeders topped up at all times.
You will witness amazing views, stretching out to Lincolnshire’s rolling Wolds and to Pleasure Island less than 6 miles away in Cleethorpes.
We hire a broad range of cycles and accessories right here on site so that you and your family can all enjoy the serenity of the quiet country lanes at a more leisurely pace.
Being on the edge of the Wolds, we are in an ideal location for all cycling abilities. Stay to the east if you want a gentle day's ride or head just 1 mile west for the hills and vales of the rolling Wolds for a more strenuous experience!
Louth is a thriving town that has maintained its individuality, remaining full of independent shops, markets and tearooms. Well worth a visit! Just on the outskirts of Louth is Hubbards Hills, a wonderful little haven for a stroll along the stream through woods and pastures. Loved by adults and children alike.
There are numerous animal farms in the area for children to meet animals and have fun!
For those looking for thrills and spills, Pleasure Island in Cleethorpes is a good bet. Cadwell Park is always a popular choice for the racing enthusiasts too!
With so much going on in the area one could never be short of things to do! A real haven of peace & tranquillity amazingly just ten minutes drive from the hubbub of Cleethorpes & Grimsby & the more traditional, quiescent appeal of Louth.

Guestbook for The Station Master's House
The Barnes family from Lowestoft said:
The house and facilities are first class. Thankyou for your hospitality. We played host to some of our 'lost' relations of Lincolnshire in the property and there was sixteen of us for a barbecue and party. A real family reunion. We had to take a walk afterwards into the village of Fulstow and the local pub.
Mr & Mrs Fogarty & family from Chester commented:
First class accommodation and surroundings. Good luck with your vision for the transformation of the yard, it'll be fantastic and we'll certainly book.
The ramblers group from Horsham wrote:
What a pleasant change and a breath of fresh air to find an accommodation that suited all of our needs.
The lovely Lincolnshire countryside and a roaring fire to come 'home' to with ample space for boots & rucksacks.
Highly recommended to all walkers worldwide!!
