Welbourn 1 mile. Hilltop Barn is a delightful, three-bedroom barn conversion resting in the Lincolnshire countryside in Welbourn. Enjoying rural views, this pet-friendly cottage offers a homely and well-equipped base for families, friends and couples, complete with a private meadow, flexible sleeping arrangements, and a lovely, decked area for alfresco affairs. Park up off-road and travel through the private grounds, taking in the tranquillity of your new base. Enter the property and be welcomed by a traditional kitchen/diner, ideal for cooking up delicious dishes to sample at the dining table, with handy appliances including a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Enjoy the countryside views from the first-floor sitting room, complete with plush sofas and a TV for evening entertainment, or spend time together outdoors, with your furry companions in tow. For a little R&R, retreat to one of the three bedrooms, boasting a king-size, a twin, and a ground-floor twin with a TV. Freshen up in the shower room or wet room, where you can relax in the walk-in shower. Once you’re ready to explore, head into the village where you can stock up on the essentials and dine out, with the Joiners Arms nearby for hearty fare and a late-night tipple, or head to Sleaford for further amenities, along with the chance to explore the Cogglesford Watermill Museum, the remains of Sleaford Castle, or enjoy a picnic by the River Slea. With the City of Lincoln, a car journey away, home to an impressive 12th-century Cathedral, a wealth of historic museums and galleries and a selection of independent shops and eateries, a visit is a must whilst in the area. Head to Newark-on-Trent to witness its beautiful Georgian architecture, take a stroll around the local market, known as one of the best in the country, and explore the Newark Castle.
