1 / 24The Stables In The Wolds
Rigsby, Lincolnshire
A single storey barn conversion for six at Rigsby in the Lincolnshire Wolds, on a working arable farm where guests are welcome to walk two dogs round the field margins.
Guests here are welcome to walk their dogs round the margins of the farm's own fields, 100 hectares of working arable land with cattle on the grassland from April to November. The Stables In The Wolds is a beautiful single storey barn conversion at Rigsby, and this dog friendly stay takes two dogs. Six people sleep across its three bedrooms.
Coats come off in the boot room, which has plenty of space for dog beds, and the flooring is non slip and dog friendly over underfloor heating. Beyond lies the sociable open plan living space, a beautiful farmhouse table at its heart, with a pantry and utility room off the kitchen. Ample seating faces the wood burner, and both dogs settle there once the walking is over.
At the end of a passageway the master bedroom has a walk in shower of its own and French doors onto the patio, which carries seating for six and a fire pit. At the back is a large lawn, reached by a gravel path and a wooden gate, which the owners describe as ideal for pets to play. Both spaces are fenced, and dogs should be supervised outside.
Footpaths, bridleways and quiet lanes start at the door, through rolling fields and hedgerows to Rigsby Wood and the Norman church, all within walking distance. Dogs are not permitted in the working farm yard, and in early spring, when the cattle are nervous of dogs, the owners advise keeping out of the cattle fields. Alford, a market town with independent shops and the Manor House garden and café, is 2 miles off, and the coast at Mablethorpe, Sutton on Sea and Skegness is an easy drive for a day on the sand.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is The Stables In The Wolds dog friendly?
Yes, The Stables In The Wolds welcomes up to two dogs. The barn has a large enclosed rear lawn that the owners specifically point to for pets, and the farm has opened up its own field margins for guests to walk — something that goes well beyond the usual offering.
Are dogs allowed at The Stables In The Wolds year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, but nothing in the details suggests dogs are limited to particular times of year. It's always worth confirming directly with the owners when you book, especially if you're visiting in the muddier months.
What should I know before visiting The Stables In The Wolds with my dog?
The barn is single-storey throughout, which makes life easy with dogs, and there's a boot room on arrival plus a utility room off the kitchen — exactly where a wet dog and its kit belong after a walk. The enclosed lawn is reached through a single wooden gate, and Rigsby Wood is within walking distance for proper off-lead exploring. Two dogs are welcome, so if you're travelling with more it's worth checking with the owners first.
