Folkingham is a charming village in Lincolnshire lying between Grantham, Sleaford and Spalding. The village dates all the way back to the Domesday Book of 1086 but was likely established in the 6th century as an Anglo-saxon settlement. The village was previously home to the impressive Folkingham Castle, although the ruins do not remain, the site of them can still be visited. Today the village is home to a local store where visitors can stock up on all of their self-catering essentials and a The New Inn pub. The nearby market town of Grantham is home to the National Trust’s Belton House, a grand 17th-century home with orangery and extensive grounds which you can roam; if you’re lucky you may even spot the resident deer! Alternatively head north to Sleaford which houses the Cogglesford Watermill museum, Navigation House Visitor Centre and the Cranwell Aviation Heritage Museum. The village is also encapsulated by the wonderful English countryside where guests can admire rolling fields or visit the Colsterworth Nature Trail or Pickworth Great Wood to experience the great outdoors. Explore all of this and more from Folkingham!

Marion and John are the nicest owners who made you so welcome. The welcome pack was outstanding and was very much needed as we arrived later in the day. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

It was well equipped, spotlessly cleaned the welcome pack went beyond anything previously experienced - it was wonderful. The owners were welcoming, friendly and helpful. We had a good holiday and enjoyed both the cottage and the countryside in which it is situated

John and Marion are super lovely people and made us both feel very welcome. Granary cottage is situated in a small hamlet in the grounds of the host's farmhouse. In front of the cottage is a lovely garden area with a table and chairs for you to enjoy the peaceful and quiet location of this property . Indoors we were wowed by the welcome pack of bacon, eggs, mushrooms and sausages, homemade bread and jam plus a bottle of wine. What a lovely surprise that was ! Granary cottage is a warm, well insulated place and provided for a very comfortable stay. We loved the ambience of the place and enjoyed looking through the varied collection of books on the shelves. We will definitely return soon.
