Swift Cottage
UK England East Midlands Lincolnshire Louth
Situated on the northern fringes of Lincolnshire, not far from the sea, 18th-century Swift Cottage – so named for the birds who return to roost in its rafters year after year – is the perfect place if you're looking for somewhere affordable to really get away from it all. It once formed part of a local brewery – and indeed, is still just footsteps from the local pub!
The cottage's two twin bedrooms can easily accommodate four adults or a
family of four – though the owner charges a flat rate per night, irrespective of how many people are staying. There is no wifi, and
facilities are limited to a shared bathroom, a simply furnished living
room with TV, and a fitted kitchen with oven, hob and microwave. In short,
the cottage has everything you need, but no more; it's
not a luxury location, nor overly equipped with facilities, but it is
an unusual one – a place to blow away the cobwebs, and
offering an affordable way to explore a little-known part of one of
Britain's least-known counties.
It's situated amidst rich working
farmland, with farm workers
trundling past the cottage at harvest time and beautiful, uninterrupted
views across to the Humber estuary – together with wind-surfers whizzing along the creek waters and drainage ditches on windy days.
The small market town of Louth is also only a short drive away, handy for supplies or if you need a shot of civilisation – though the village does have a shop and a pub (possibly the nearest source of wifi).
