About the area

From rolling countryside to historic cathedral cities and traditional seaside resorts, Lincolnshire offers a peaceful alternative to the discerning holidaymaker.

Located in the heart of Lincolnshire close to Grantham, Sleaford, and Spalding, Folkingham is a quaint little village. The Domesday Book of 1086 records the village's existence, but it was most likely founded as an Anglo-saxon settlement in the sixth century. Although the once-impressive Folkingham Castle no longer stands in the village, its site can still be seen today. The village now features a convenience store where guests can pick up food and other supplies for their own cooking, as well as a pub called The New Inn. Belton House, owned by the National Trust and located in the nearby market town of Grantham, is a magnificent manor house from the 17th century complete with an orangery and extensive grounds where you can go for a stroll and, if you're lucky, see some of the local deer. The museums of Cogglesford Watermill, Navigation House Visitor Centre, and Cranwell Aviation Heritage can be found in Sleaford, a little further north. The village is surrounded by beautiful English countryside, where visitors can enjoy scenic views of rolling fields and go hiking in places like the Colsterworth Nature Trail and Pickworth Great Wood. Folkingham has these things and more for you to discover.

Nestled in the charming village of Folkingham, amidst the rolling countryside in Lincolnshire is The Old Stables. This wonderful, dog-friendly annexe benefits from a welcoming, open-plan living space, a beautifully-appointed king size bedroom and a fantastic location with access to a myriad of countryside walks and other popular attractions; a wonderful choice for couples seeking a romantic getaway with their beloved canine companion in Lincolnshire. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home where you can step into the fully-equipped kitchen to pamper your partner with a romantic meal. Dine at the intimate dining table before settling down on the plush sofa where you can flick on the Smart TV to watch your favourite film on Netflix. When the evening draws to a close, head into the king size bedroom where you can freshen up in the en-suite shower room before sloping off to sleep in the king size bed. Venture into the heart of the village where you can admire the pretty church and the site of the former ruins of Folkingham Castle before visiting the local store to stock up on all your favourite food and treats. Just down the road is the New Inn where you can enjoy evening drinks and food or head slightly further afield to the Ship Inn for a delicious date night! There are a variety of manor houses and estates woven throughout the surrounding countryside including the 17th-century Belton House in the charming market town of Grantham and the beautiful Ayscoughfee Hall Museum which has exquisite gardens and a variety of locally obtained artefacts. Take a day trip down to Rutland where you can tour Rutland Zoo, enjoy a fun-filled day on the water at Aqua Park Rutland or meander through Rutland Water Nature Reserve, a beautiful wetland area with lagoons and dedicated birdwatching spots. If wartime aviation interests you there is plenty on offer, from Bomber command memorial at Lincoln to The Battle of Britain Memorial Centre at Conningsby. Make unforgettable memories at The Old Stables!
