The Roost Baston

This place is called The Roost. It’s on a little estate of holiday cottages next to the River Glen in Baston, Lincolnshire.

It’s a modern, single-storey lodge, so everything’s on one level. That makes it easier for some people. There are three bedrooms and each one has its own bathroom. It sleeps six. It’s got the 5 Star rating, which in practice means it’s well-equipped and comfortable. The heating’s under the floor.

You’ve got your own enclosed garden and a big patio that runs right down to the river. You can sit out there and look over at the fields. They keep horses and llamas, so there’s always something to watch. The whole grounds are about three acres, mostly lawn. There’s a further eight acres across the river with a private walk along the bank.

If you’ve got dogs, there’s a large, fenced area specifically for them to run off the lead. There’s also a tennis court you can use if you arrange it with us.

The village of Baston is a short walk away. There’s a shop and a pub that does decent food. Market Deeping is about three and a half miles for more shops.

It’s a good spot for getting out. You’ve got Stamford about nine miles away, which is a lovely stone town and where the Burghley Horse Trials are. Peterborough is eleven miles. The area is flat, so it’s popular for cycling. There’s local fishing on the river.

Inside, it’s open plan. All the bedding and towels are included. There’s a highchair and a cot if you need them. It has WiFi, a TV, and parking right outside. There’s also an electric vehicle charger. We accept up to two well-behaved dogs.

You can book it with the other cottages here if you’ve got a bigger group.
