Moortown House Farm

The tiny Lincolnshire hamlet of Moortown is set amid unspoiled countryside, near the town of Caistor. On the doorstep of your holiday cottage in Moortown, you will discover footpaths through swathes of woods and fields. On the eastern edge of the hamlet, the Skipworth Arms is a popular pub serving good food and range of local ales. There are no shops in the hamlet, making it the perfect base for visitors who want to make the most of the area’s spectacular scenery. A short drive from holiday cottages in Moortown, the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is an undeveloped stretch of rolling hills and wild valleys, dotted with ancient villages and crossed by gentle streams. The area’s woods, grasslands and abandoned chalk pits are a habitat for rare wildlife, and offer some of the county’s best walking opportunities. One of the area’s best known local landmarks is Cleatham Hall, a magnificent country house built in 1855, in the Classical Revival style. The city of Lincoln is a short drive southward, with a stunning medieval cathedral and plenty of independent shops to explore. The sandy beaches of the Lincolnshire coast are also close enough for day trips.
