  • "Fabulous stay and wholly recommend!"

    Stayed here with our dog as we were visiting family in Skegness and even our dog had her own room set out dedicated for dogs. The Old Smithy has everything you need and more Lovely touches inside including history of it being built. Gordon and Clare were great hosts and on hand if needed. Secure parking. Really appreciated the extras especially the Lincolnshire plum loaf! We sat out in the evening in the enclosed garden and was very peaceful and as the weather was so hot the velux roof windows in the bedroom were fantastic at night and kept the room cool. Great location for visiting all parts of Lincolnshire. Thank you so much for a great stay! We will definitely be back.

Unwind on the sumptuous sofa, where an exposed brick wall harbours a warming woodburning stove; relax as the flicker of the fire casts shadows around the room and admire the fascinating images of The Old Smithy before its renovation.

Savour a glass of wine in the courtyard whilst your canine companion stretches its legs, and soak in the tranquillity of the peaceful setting of the village.

Stepping indoors, head to the luxurious bathroom complete with handmade bathroom fittings, where you can indulge in a spot of luxury with a bubble bath in the stylish roll-top bath, or stand under the waterfall shower for a relaxing rinse.
