Back To Nature
Close by we have various Nature Reserves, including the world-famous Donna Nook – one of the most successful breeding grounds for Grey seals. From late October to the end of December bulls, cows and pups can easily be seen on the beaches of the reserve. We are also a stone’s throw from the magnificent beaches of Mablethorpe and the Lincolnshire Wolds that provide wonderful walking opportunities throughout the year. A short twenty-minute drive away is the market town of Louth, where you can enjoy independent shops and eateries.
