This unique place has a style all its own.

In 3 acres of grounds, with opportunities to relax and take in this tranquil setting. A further 8 acres - enclosed and situated across the river, offer an exclusive riverside walk. For more energetic guests there is use of the tennis court.

Nearby Baston, Lincolnshire, is a beautiful village lying on the edge of The Fens on the main A15 midway between Market Deeping in the South and Bourne in the North.
