1 / 21Pheasant Cottage
Rigsby, Lincolnshire
A pretty country cottage for four near Alford in Lincolnshire, with a fenced and gated front lawn, walks and bike rides from the doorstep and one dog welcome.
Pheasant Cottage is a pretty country cottage in a rural spot at Rigsby, a haven for birds and wildlife, with countryside walks and bike rides starting at the door. For couples and families after a peaceful getaway it makes a dog friendly retreat, sleeping four plus a dog, with the market town of Alford just 2 miles off.
Coats and boots have plenty of space in the porch, and beyond it the welcoming country style kitchen and diner is well equipped for rustling up a meal, with an inviting table for plotting the next day's adventures. A handy downstairs WC doubles as a laundry room. Comfortable seating fills the cosy lounge, ready for sinking into after a day in the countryside with a TV or a captivating book, the dog dozing beside you.
Up on the first floor, the charming double has tasteful furnishings and rural views full of charm, the twin is bright and airy for a restful night, and there is a family bathroom with a tub for a well deserved soak. The front lawn here is fenced and gated, with garden furniture, so dog and children alike can relax there, and a picnic bench close by makes a lovely spot for an alfresco meal while you look out for wildlife.
Guests are welcome to roam the outskirts of the farmland and the field margins as well as the public footpaths, with dogs kept out of the working farmyard. Rolling fields, the quaint Norman church and enchanting Rigsby Wood are all close at hand, Alford has its 14th century church, traditional butchers and market, and the sands of Skegness, Mablethorpe and Sutton-on-Sea lie within 15 miles for a family day out.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Pheasant Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Pheasant Cottage welcomes one dog. The ground floor is set up with dogs in mind — there's a porch for muddy boots and wet coats, and the dog has the run of the kitchen, diner and lounge while people sleep upstairs.
Are dogs allowed at Pheasant Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owners directly to confirm availability for your dates. What is clear is that the cottage is designed around accommodating a dog as a matter of course, not as an afterthought.
What should I know before visiting Pheasant Cottage with my dog?
The cottage takes one dog, so it's not the right fit if you're travelling with more than one. The front lawn is fenced and gated, which gives your dog somewhere to be outside safely, and the washing machine is handily on the ground floor for dealing with wet kit after a walk. The surrounding Lincolnshire Wolds offer rolling countryside straight from the gate, with the river valley at Hubbard's Hills near Louth available for longer days out.
