1 / 16The Pavilion
Swaton, Lincolnshire
A single storey lodge for two at Swaton in Lincolnshire, with a veranda, a large enclosed garden, a boot room and one small dog welcome.
Swaton is a small village in the flat, open farmland of south Lincolnshire, and The Pavilion is a lodge there for two people and one small dog. It is dog friendly on a modest scale, single storey with a step at the door, and it has something many larger places lack: a large garden, enclosed all round.
The veranda has furniture on it and faces the setting sun, and that is where the day tends to end, a drink in hand and the dog stretched out on the boards. The garden beyond is big enough for a small dog to cover at speed, and there is a barbecue out there for the longer evenings.
Inside, the living area, dining table and kitchen share one open room, with French doors out to the garden and a wine cooler in the kitchen. The bed is a super king made of two singles zipped together, so it can come apart into a twin, and the shower room is next door. A boot room by the door takes muddy boots, wet leads and the dog's towel before any of them reach the carpet, which suits a couple who walk every day.
Quiet lanes and footpaths leave from the door across the fields, and the cycling round here is flat and easy. Sleaford is the nearest town, with the Slea Valley walk running along its river, and further afield there is Lincoln with its cathedral and castle, Stamford's stone streets, and the deer park at Belton House, where a dog on a lead can walk under the old trees.

Book with cottages.comFrequently Asked Questions
Is The Pavilion dog friendly?
Yes, The Pavilion welcomes one small dog. It's set up thoughtfully for doggy guests — there's a large enclosed garden for a run around, a veranda to relax on together at the end of the day, and a boot room by the entrance to stash muddy boots, wet leads and the dog's towel before anything reaches the carpet.
Are dogs allowed at The Pavilion year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability and any conditions around your dates. Given the boot room and enclosed garden, it feels set up for dogs in all weathers.
What should I know before visiting The Pavilion with my dog?
The Pavilion accommodates one small dog only, so it's not suited to larger breeds or multiple dogs. There is a step at the door to be aware of, and the garden — while large and fully enclosed — is sized with a small dog in mind. Quiet lanes and footpaths head out across the fields directly from the lodge, so you're well placed for daily walks without needing to drive anywhere.
