- Luxurious countryside glamping retreat in the garden of a stately home
- A 20-minute drive from Barton-upon-Humber; Cleethorpes 45 minutes
- Suited to romantic breaks with a hot tub at each unit and scenic views
How do you like the sound of staying in the gardens of a stately home, with views of green fields grazed by horses and sheep? As the folks at Walcot Hall Estate in north Lincolnshire have realised, something quite special happens when you combine glamping with the grand surrounds of a handsome Georgian house.
This peaceful luxury retreat is located in North Lincolnshire, surrounded by private parkland and open countryside. Each unit is dog-friendly and has its own private hot tub, making it well-suited to couples looking for a romantic break (with your beloved dog) with plenty of nature around. Guests are also welcome to explore the estate grounds in their spare time.
Walcot Hall Estate is located on the edge of the small village of Alkborough; a short walk from the estate will get you to its traditional pub and tea room. More pretty villages, plus a popular restaurant, are a short drive away. Nearby (and within walking distance of the estate) is the Alkborough Flats nature reserve for walking routes and stunning birdwatching.
The M18 and M62 are not too far away, so it's easy to reach cities like Hull (40 minutes' drive away), Doncaster (55 minutes) and Lincoln (an hour) for shopping, dining and other attractions.

Local attractions
The area surrounding the nearby town of Barton-upon-Humber (20 minutes' drive) has several top nature reserves to explore if you're seeking serenity, but you'll also likely appreciate the views over the mighty Humber Bridge and unusual attractions like The Ropewalk, an innovative arts centre housed in a former rope factory that uses this very elongated space to its full advantage.
A day at the beach is also possible, and a number seaside towns are within doable driving distance. Staying in Lincolnshire, Cleethorpes (45 minutes) has a long, sandy beach and pier that prove popular with visitors whatever the time of year, but heading over to the other side of the Humber and exploring the coast around Withernsea (an hour and 10 minutes) is another top option if you don’t mind a slightly longer journey.
For some time in town, you're close to Hull (40 minutes), home to The Deep aquarium, or York (an hour and 10 minutes) and its magnificent medieval minster, Viking heritage and railway museum.
