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.

One minor concern was the bathroom window is cracked and needs replacing as it could be dangerous and no washing line to hang our towels when returning from the pool and beach. Would recommend and will return next year.

It was really clean and very spacious. The owner had obviously thought about the guests comfort and the welcome gifts were very much appreciated. We also had a a call from the owner on the day we travelled to say the house was ready for us. We thought this a nice gesture as usually we wonder whether or not a property is ready. The area is nice and quiet. Local for lots of exploring and also close to the beach in Skegness. There are plenty of places to eat out and local shops if you want to eat in. Thank you to the owners for making our stay one of our best.
