  • "The Dairy is a pretty compact cottage front of property is on the main car park with no frontage to speak of ."

    I sat out front for a cuppa on the footpath outside the cottage and felt like taking parking money as others arrived on the gravel car park. Photos make it look like it’s next to a courtyard not a car in sight untrue we even had a car parked outside our bedroom window. on arriving went to put suitcase in the bedroom and the door opened onto the bed and bounced back on my head no room to fully open the door in fact no room to swing a cat fortunately we had our dog but that was a big problem as not allowed off lead anywhere or to be left unattended so no visit to hot tub for us! 20 acres of lovely grounds to explore as long as dog was on a lead luckily there was a beach 5 miles away. so our dog could play ball etc they charged £30 cash for dog not sure why as not allowed on furniture so no extra cleaning required. definitely not dog friendly. we took photos of car park(sorry our country view) we left a day early couldn’t take anymore nearly left on day one but we had paid a lot of money. The Dairy would suit a slim couple( ref bedroom door) and no dog. Good news we could watch our car from the window.

    We had an amazing time. We would only recommend two small improvements. Instructions on using the electric heaters Hot water was not readily available in the kitchen, supply seemed to be low Gas fire would not work and no instructions We would stay again

  • "An excellent place to stay, only thing which we would have liked is our own secured space outside."

    It didn't matter this time as the weather wasn't great but it is something we will have to think about if we decide to go again. Walks for the dog were perfect and hosts were brilliant.

  • "Small but perfectly formed, The Dairy was a wonderful home away from home for our week's break (hubby, myself and our dog)."

    It is very well equipped and had everything we needed for a restful break. On arrival, Karen escorted us to the cottage and went through everything with us and the welcome tray was ready and waiting for our cuppa. Yes, it opens out onto the cottages car parking area, but this didn't particularly bother us. I would perhaps suggest maybe voile in the window(s) to help a little with privacy, but it wasn't a deal breaker for us. The bed is comfy (quite soft) as are the couch and chair in the living area. The laundry room is literally just through the side gate should you need it I did wonder prior to our stay how peaceful it would be on a site with multiple cottages/houses/caravan pitches in such close proximity to each other, but I needn't have worried in the slightest. The site is peaceful and tranquil, with a beautiful area to walk around the lakes. It is beautifully kept and managed, and is exceptionally clean. Karen clearly takes great pride in what they have achieved at Jockhedge and I can see why. The area is perfectly placed whereby nothing is too far to travel to, whether that be the dog friendly beaches or the towns and cities. We visited Lincoln for the day as it was only an hour's drive away and is well worth the trip. For beaches, I can recommend Chapel Six Marshes and the beach by the North Sea Observatory (both of which are dog friendly) and within a few minutes drive of Burgh-le-Marsh. I would also recommend a trip to Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve as another peaceful place to visit and walk (note that dogs aren't allowed on the beach path during April to September). On the one day it absolutely tipped it down, we visited the Seal Sanctuary at Skegness as it is dog friendly (with the exception of the cafe, gift shop and floral/butterfly house) and spent a lovely hour or so wandering around. All in all, we had a lovely time which was made better having somewhere so lovely to return to at the end of the day. We will definitely return again to the area next year, most likely renting one of the cottages with a private enclosed garden (purely for convenience of a nightime wee for the pooch).

    The well maintained grounds were perfect for walking our two dogs and it’s so peaceful with amazing views. It’s well positioned for visiting throughout Lincolnshire from the sandy beaches to the stunning Wolds. We will definitely be returning

  • "Would not label as dog friendly and barely dog tolerant."

    The Dairy is not really suitable for dogs unless you want to put them on the lead & go out every time your pooch needs to answer the call of nature. The Visitor Pack is a long list of rules & regulations with little in the way of a welcome. Welcome pack was a small pack of ground coffee, a local Plum Loaf and a pint of milk - no shampoo/conditioner. You aren’t allowed to leave dogs unattended so were unable to use the hot tub. For couples without dogs the Dairy is small but comfortable with certain aspects looking very tired eg bad cracking around door in the shower room. A major issue is the door into the bedroom - this opens about 18 inches before hitting the bed so is unsuitable for restricted mobility or wheelchair users. Wardrobe has to be locked as the door swings open otherwise. Zero privacy unless curtains are closed - the Dairy fronts onto the car park where everyone walks past your windows. The outdoor sitting area is also on the car park. The grounds are excellent for dog walking if you ignore the “ dogs on leads” signage and are sensible. Our two slept in a crate (dogs not allowed on furniture or in bedroom) so really needed a morning run. As we were charged £30 per dog we got zero for our money ( being Cavapoos there is no shed hair to deal with). Overall it was a good week as the weather behaved, if it was raining it would have been an endurance test.

  • "We had a lovely, relaxing stay in a very clean and comfortable cottage."

    We had no hot water in the bathroom, this was fixed within the hour. I would say dog tolerant rather than dog friendly. Everything is of a high standard.

The property

Positioned amongst the rural greenery of Lincolnshire, a short distance from the glorious coast of the North Sea, rests this characterful one bedroom holiday home, The Dairy.

Set across one level and enjoying close proximity to a wealth of must-see attractions, including the popular resort of Skegness and the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB, The Dairy makes an excellent base for a memorable retreat for two.

Park up on the spacious driveway and unload your belongings with ease before making your way over the threshold of your new home-from-home to begin your staycation.

Be charmed by the original character of the open-plan living space, where exposed wooden beams adorn the vaulted ceilings above and an electric fire sits alongside a rustic leather armchair, entic-ing you to kick off your shoes and unwind with your favourite show playing on the TV.

The wooden kitchen tucked away in the corner of the sociable space is equipped with all the essential amenities for an enjoyable self-catered stay, sure to entice any budding chef to prepare a collection of ro-mantic meals for two to be enjoyed at the dining table.

A sumptuous king-size bed can be found tucked beneath exposed beams, providing a truly wonderful setting to catch your rest, whilst the neighbouring shower room offers a stylish space to get ready in the morning.

Fuel a day of excur-sions with a steaming cup of coffee amongst the greenery of the front patio before getting better aquatinted with your surroundings.

Spend a peaceful afternoon casting your line at the on-site lake, free for all guests, in the hopes of catching breem, roach or carp to name a few, or enjoy a leisurely stroll through the 25 acres of idyllic greenland that envelopes this charming abode.

A short walk from your doorstep will bring you into the heart of Burgh Le Marsh, home to a bustling high-street offering all of your local amenities; tuck into a spot of hearty pub grub at The Guest House, pick up a takeaway from Bridge Chippie, or stock up on goodies at the local store.

For a change of pace, jump in the car and travel the short distance to the popular resort of Skegness, where you can expect thrills at Skegness Pleasure Beach, come face-to-face with marine wildlife at Skegness Aquarium, or spend the afternoon paddling the shores of the North Sea at the beach.

The picture-perfect market towns of Spilsby, Boston and Louth are set within easy reach, ideal for those looking to explore more of this sought-after area, whilst those looking to embark on an out-door adventure may prefer to immerse themselves in the great outdoors of the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB.

About the location

BURGH LE MARSH

Skegness 4 miles.

The pretty town of Burgh le Marsh, surrounded by open farmland, is just four miles from the popular seaside town of Skegness. Burgh le Marsh has varied amenities, with five pubs all serving food, a butcher's, a baker's and a store. There is a lovely historic windmill and an ancient church, perched high on a hill. There is a mixture of old and new buildings, now housing several tea rooms and restaurants. It has a good road network, with very easy access to Louth, Lincoln and the coast. The nearby coastline has long, sandy beaches and sand dunes, a haven for wildlife, including a couple of seal sanctuaries, notably Donna Nook Seal Reserve to the north of Mablethorpe. This is ideal cycling country, with quiet country routes and flat terrain. The town provides a good base for touring this lesser known coastal district of Lincolnshire.
