A wonderful cottage that manages that rarest of things, a combination of space and cosiness. 100 yards from a good pub and set in large garden with access to an adjacent paddock, this place made our week. We will return again without question.
Bourne 5 miles.
Rippingale is a small picturesque village sitting in open farmland to the east of the A15, some 5 miles north of Bourne in Lincolnshire. It has its own pub, village hall, church and shop/post office. Bourne has a variety of shops, pubs, restaurants and takeaways, as well as a good sized supermarket. There is lovely walking and some superb bridleways to explore, plenty of attractions just a short drive away including the Museum of Lincolnshire Life, Doddington Hall and the Lincolnshire coastline, as well as Norfolk attractions including King's Lynn, Thetford Forest and the quaint villages of the Norfolk coast. Rippingale also makes an ideal base for antique hunters, while Stamford and Grantham both have a good selection of shops.

The property was very well equipped.
Mrs Connolly, Kingston upon Thames, April 2010
The cottage had a tremendous character that made being in it the highlight of the holiday.
Mr McCallum, Norwich, March 2010
Super trails and walks in Bourne Woods, dog and humans loved it! Holiday cottage of exacting standard again!
Miss Uff, Milton Keynes, October 2009
The whole property, including the copse, were fantastic and bigger than we were expecting. The weather was great and a lot of the trees were a gorgeous colour. We all had a good time, including the dog.
