Lincolnshire Holiday Cottages

Lincolnshire holiday cottages are popular because they showcase the many things which make Lincolnshire one of the most attractive counties in the UK. Situated in the North Midlands, the region is known as 'Britain's Holland' due to the Flat Fenlands found there. For information about Lincolnshire cottages rentals, visit the rental agent featured below.

The Lincolnshire Wolds, are designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty and consist of rolling hills, deep valleys and quiet streams. Minor roads offer charming drives through picturesque and lightly populated areas. This is also a land of fens and marshy land such as The Wash, ending point to the rivers Welland, Steeping and the Witham.

The resorts Skegness and Ingoldmells are hugely popular, the latter home to Butlins. Places like Moggs Eye and Crook Bank provide a more tranquil coastal alternative and possess some of the finest beaches in the United Kingdom.

The Lincolnshire countryside offers hidden hamlets and a landscape rich in variety and history. Roman roads provide evidence of Latin occupation and the Viking Way, which stretches 147 miles across the county from North to South is indicative of a Danish heritage. Louth is one of the most perfectly preserved Georgian towns in England while Lincoln's cathedral is simply stunning. Book Lincolnshire holiday cottages, courtesy of Cottages 4 You.
