Ivy House Barn is situated in the beautiful Lincolnshire village of Heckington. Located in a wonderful rural location, this is the perfect relaxing retreat for yourself and your other half.

French doors open into a heart-warming open-plan living room. The sitting area bursts with character and is enhanced by a high beamed ceiling and an exposed red brick feature wall along with the comfy sofas where you can sit back and relax with a good book or watch a film. Wander through into the stylish, well-equipped kitchen and prepare meals to serve at the dining table over a glass of wine. This floor is complete with a charming family shower room. A carpeted staircase takes you to a superb, open double bedroom, featuring exposed beams, a sumptious solid oak sleigh bed and even offers a comfortable sofa bed. When the sun emerges, why not treat yourself to an alfresco meal out on the private patio? Ivy House Barn rests on Heckington's High Street, the shops, swimming pool (open in the summer months only), cafes, pubs and bars are all just a short stroll away. Cyclists can ride for miles around the countryside directly from the barn. Perfect cycling terrain and lots of coffee shop stops to enjoy on the way! There's a gym across the road and the wonderful Windmill Shop - full of organic vegetables, local baking, local honey, jams and chutneys, flowers and gifts - is a must. Heckington is also home to the world's only working 8-sail windmill, which is certainly worth a visit as are the cafe and brewery attached. Lincolnshire, known as the Bomber County is the home of the RAF, with bases such as Cranwell, Coningsby (with its Battle of Britain Memorial Flight) and Waddington and Scampton (home to the Red Arrows) are all an easy drive away. Just 20 minutes away is the fascinating Bomber Command Memorial. Towns such as Boston, Spalding (famous for its tulips and Spring Gardens) and Grantham are nearby and benefit from a wide range of amenities and attractions. Stamford, Skegness and Newark are also worth a visit. The historic city of Lincoln is a 25-minute drive away and is a jewel in the county with the beautiful cathedral, the castle and the Magna Carta. There's a wharf, plenty of restaurants and attractions. Ivy House Barn is the perfect base for that romantic retreat you've been longing for.

Reviews
Located centrally in the thriving village of Heckington, this barn is beautifully appointed, warm and cosy. Everything required for a short to extended stay including washing machine. Interior blends traditional with modern appointments, and certainly has the wow factor. Very quiet and peaceful at all times. Private and safe parking adjacent to the barn, with a small outdoor courtyard with modern furniture to the rear. Owners are extremely welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended.
Loved this immaculate, beamed barn.It was the perfect retreat and in the centre of the village but still private. We were extremely comfortable as two nice sofas to relax on and everything we needed for a holiday escape. The owner was lovely and provided lots of information on the local area and places to visit and eat. We even had locally produced cake on arrival and a bottle of wine. Super clean and homely. Definitely returning next year.
My husband & I stayed here for a week. The accommodation was very dusty & the lounge was damp, with paint coming off wall. Dirty oven which set fire alarm off when heated, cobwebs all along lounge & bedroom walls. However, bed was ver comfortable. Nice secluded location, shame the inside let the accommodation down.
Excellent and really clean. Have booked again for the spring. Lovely friendly owners. The cottage was well located in a beautiful village, loads to do in the local area, nice pubs and restaurants so we had a great time. Highly recommended.
