Staying at Daisy Cottage you are ideally situated to enjoy the diversity of attractions that Lincolnshire has to offer from peaceful walks in the countryside to shopping in Lincoln followed by a meal or a night on the town. Follow the Airfield Trail or spend your time browsing in the craft and antiques centres. It's all here on Daisy Cottage's doorstep so come and enjoy it.


Lincoln Cathedral

With Lincoln less than ten miles away you can experience the different sides that this city has to offer. The Bailgate area is home to the majestic Lincoln Cathedral that dominates the skyline, and also Lincoln Castle, home of the Magna Carta.

Browse the speciality shops, take a stroll through the cobbled streets and walk down Steep Hill, remembering to save enough energy for the walk back up! After shopping give your tastebuds a treat at one of the many tearooms or restaurants that populate this area.

See the Roman ruins and Newport Arch, the last remaining Roman arch still spanning a road.

You will also find city centre shopping further down the hill, with all the major high street retailers and a few more besides.

Sample the nightlife too in the many bars and restaurants that populate the city centre and Brayford Wharf.

Red Arrows, based at RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire

Aviation Heritage abounds in Lincolnshire, no wonder that it is known as 'Bomber County'.

During your stay at Daisy Cottage you can follow the North Kesteven Airfield Trail, created to enable visitors to locate the active RAF stations and former WWII airfield sites.

The Hub Centre for Craft and Design, Sleaford
