Sandes by Water is perfect for families and friends who like to spread out and enjoy their own space, yet still spend time socialising with each other. Four double bedrooms comfortably sleep eight guests, with a sofa bed providing the option to accommodate an extra person if required.
The cottage is 10 meters away from a large fresh water lake for the sole use of the cottage residents. This lake is stocked with both mirror and common carp, beam and common Rudd. Along with the main pier there are two jetties as well as various maintained bank areas for casting from.
The house sits on five private acres in the village of Goxhill, just south of the beautiful Humber Estuary in North Lincolnshire, close to a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Ramblers and cyclists love this area for the variety of excellent routes that lead through the beautiful countryside, and there are also good pubs for a meal out within a mile or two from the property. Goxhill is a friendly village with a train station, Co-op grocery shop and, around a mile from the cottage, Shawbriggs Farm Shop. Five miles away, Barton-on-Humber has more amenities including independent shops, cafes, takeaways and a good range of pubs. There is a nature reserve which attracts birdwatchers and a leisure centre with gym, pool, badminton etc.

Outside: As lovely as the inside of Sandes by Water is, its gardens are equally impressive. There are not many holiday cottages with a fishing lake kept well-stocked by the owners, let alone one which also has paddocks so you can bring your horse. There are five acres of peaceful gardens including off-street parking at the front of the house, and a patio with garden furniture and a barbecue at the rear. A summer house by the lake is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the delightful view, pontoon and gardens.
Additional Information: The property has WiFi and oil-fired central heating throughout. Sorry but no dogs. All linen and towels are included, and a travel cot and high chair are available on request.
