Bridleway Bed & Breakfast Shortlist*
Lincoln, Lincolnshire
Good Hotel Guide Review
A ‘lovely welcome’ of home-made cream scones awaits arriving guests at this ‘excellent’ B&B, a relaxed, rural spot next to a thick oak wood. It is run by Jane Haigh, an artist. Country-cosy rooms in the converted stables and cart shed have their own entrance; inside are calming hues, mellow wood, bathrobes and daily baked treats. Delivered to the room, a breakfast hamper filled with warm pastries and free-range local produce, wherever possible, includes eggs from Jane’s hens. Borrow wellies and the family dogs for walks. A small flock of Southdown sheep, horses and a cat complete the menagerie. Guests may bring their own horse – there are 2 stables, a menage and paddock. The hostess readily provides advice on local restaurants and even a lift into Lincoln, nearby.
