Surfleet is a charming Lincolnshire village situated on the banks of the River Glen, offering breath taking views of the surrounding countryside. You can take a stroll along the riverbank and spot the local wildlife which is in abundance. For those interested in history, Surfleet is home to the beautiful St Laurence's Church, a Grade I-listed building that dates back to the 12th century. There are also plenty of places to eat including a cafe and pubs in the village that are worth a try. The nearby market town of Spalding, just 4 miles away, boasts a thriving theatre, a range of shops, a railway, a bus station, and many local attractions. A little further afield is the historic town of Stamford (25 miles away), famed for its part in the films Pride and Prejudice, Middlemarch and The Da Vinci Code and is home to the famous Burghley Park Horse Trials.

Step into the cottage through the bi-fold doors into the beautiful open-plan kitchen/diner. Sink into the antique Chesterfield sofas admiring the wonderful riverside views while the fire flickers in the background. The kitchen offers everything you need to cook a memorable meal during your stay, and a nearby dining table to enjoy your efforts, with the backdrop of the river through the floor-to-ceiling glass doors. Retire to the snug which is decorated in a dark and soothing colour scheme, the perfect place to snuggle up with good company in front of the TV after a day exploring the area. There is a downstairs shower room, decorated with floor-to-ceiling tiles and a larger-than-usual shower. Head up the open staircase, where you will find two comfortable bedrooms, each decorated with a relaxing colour scheme and offering well-thought-out furniture which matches the cottage perfectly.

The garden is a special space with a patio and seating, leading to decking with steps down to a platform on the river. Sit here and watch the boats bob by and the wildlife that comes to visit. There are fishing rights from the  property.
