Set on the owners’ non-working farm in the pretty village of Horbling, this spacious detached farmhouse and barn conversion are situated in the heart of the Fens, making an ideal touring base for visiting the area’s wealth of historic attractions. Paddock View (Ref REE6) offers ‘upside-down’ style accommodation for a group of four and is furnished with Georgian antiques, but also has a very modern kitchen and bathroom.
The flat fenlands make ideal walking and cycling country, an excellent way to view the landscape with its rich farmlands, huge skies and wonderful sunsets; lovely walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep, while those with a passion for golf, fishing or horse riding will find ample facilities nearby. Within easy driving distance a wealth of interesting places can be discovered, including the delightful old towns of Uppingham, Oakham and Stamford, full of beautiful mellow stone buildings. On the edge of Stamford stands Burleigh House, one of England’s greatest Elizabethan houses. Nearby Spalding is an attractive, Dutch-influenced town and centre of the flower-bulb industry, where the Springfields show gardens and the annual flower festival in May are popular attractions. Other places well worth a visit are the splendid medieval Tattershall Castle (NT), Belton House and Coningsby, noted for its huge one-handed church clock, and also the home of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. One of the landmarks of the Fens is the magnificent octagonal lantern tower of St Botolph’s Church in Boston, which greets visitors from miles around. Good pub with food ½ mile in Billingborough, or pub 300 yards in village.
