About this property
Heckington 3.6 miles. Resting in the quiet village of Ewerby, just a short drive from Heckington, lies this charming, one-bedroom holiday home, The Asparagus Shed. Boasting a delightful, brick-clad exterior, off-road parking, crisp interiors with well-preserved features throughout, this property welcomes a couple seeking a refreshing escape to the heart of rural Lincolnshire.The Asparagus shed is part of a working farm and as the name suggests was formally used for washing, grading and bunching asparagus ready to be sold. It is situated on a quiet lane with stunning views across to the large 13th century church. There are several country walks accessed directly from your door and the village pub, The Finch Hatton Arms, is just a short walk away.
If you can remove yourself from your tranquil new lodgings, be sure to explore some of what your local area has to offer after you’ve finished your morning coffee in the peaceful courtyard by first stopping into nearby Heckington, where you can stock up on supplies at the Co-Op, enjoy a pub lunch at the Royal Oak or a local beer at the 8 Sail Brewery next to the Heckington Windmill.
If you want to make a day of it the city of Lincoln is accessible by car, and home to attractions such as the stunning historical landmarks of Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle (including Magna Carta), the inspiring Bomber Command Centre and the wonderful Doddington Hall.
Heckington, a charming small village in the North Kesteven region of Lincolnshire, is home to a Grade I listed church and a windmill that hosts events and activities. There is a shop, a selection of pubs and restaurants, a swimming pool, and two cafés among the amenities. Moreover, Heckington is home to the only operational eight-sailed windmill in the world, and the community once a year holds the Heckington Show for families. The attractive towns of Boston and Grantham nearby offer a greater selection of high-quality amenities, while the magnificent city of Lincoln is a little more away but well worth the drive.

The small touches of a dog bed - even though we brought our own, the dog bowls, dog treats and poo bags made my pooch feel welcome. As for the gifts left for me - again they made me feel very welcome and were lovely touches, thank you. Everything was explained really well where things were - such as the hidden cutlery draw. The whole place was well equipped. Would certainly recommend for friends and family to stay here. The only sight negative was the noise from the bell ringing practice, but it only lasted an hour so that was OK, once I got over the shock of how loud it was. Thank you for a lovely place to stay.

Although small it feels spacious and was very clean, warm and always hot water available. Welcome treats were much appreciated. Cottage is situated on a quiet lane frequented by horse riders and dog walkers mainly. There is seating outside but the wall is low so you do feel a bit overlooked. A few observations and suggestions for improvement, none of which would deter me from revisiting: 1. Some grab rails in the shower are much needed. The cottage is suitable for those with mobility needs except in this very important regard. Handles with suction cups could be provided for tenants to deploy if the owner does not want to fix permanently. 2. There are buckets for plastic, paper and card recycling but not glass! Where does glass go? 3. Please put some indication of where to find cutlery. It is in a sub drawer in another drawer. It is labelled but not immediately obvious - it took me 20 minutes to find it
