1 / 17Yew Tree Cottage
Belchford, Lincolnshire
The oldest cottage in Belchford, an 18th century Grade II listed home for four with original beams, a wood burner, an enclosed garden and two dogs welcome.
The Viking Way passes the door of Yew Tree Cottage, a beautifully charming 18th century Grade II listed cottage and the oldest property in the quiet village of Belchford. This is a dog friendly cottage in the southern Lincolnshire Wolds sleeping four. The booking takes two dogs, with room for a third if the owner agrees at the time of booking.
Gorgeous original features run through the cottage, beams among them, and the kitchen that welcomes you in pairs them with contemporary touches and plenty of room for cooking. There is a utility room too, and a surprising amount of space for a cottage with so much charm. The dining room is the place to plan the day or gather for an evening meal, and the comfortable sitting room has a lovely wood burner, with the first night's fuel provided, for the dogs to curl up beside. Downstairs there is also a shower room, while two double bedrooms and a family bathroom are upstairs.
Outside, the enclosed garden has its patio table and chairs, plus a pretty sitting area tucked away in the peaceful garden. Morning coffee out there, with the dogs nosing around the garden, is a good way to begin.
A network of footpaths runs through hills and fields, past lakes and through woodland, all fine walking with a dog. A traditional inn serving hearty Lincolnshire pub food is just down the road, and Horncastle, 4 miles away, is a hot spot for antiques, artisan shops, galleries and restaurants. The sandy beaches of Mablethorpe and Sutton on Sea make an easy day at the coast.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Yew Tree Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Yew Tree Cottage welcomes dogs — up to two. The cottage has an enclosed garden, so your dogs can be outside safely, and inside they'll quickly find a warm spot near the wood burning stove.
Are dogs allowed at Yew Tree 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 we can say is that the Lincolnshire Wolds footpaths surrounding Belchford make it a rewarding destination for dogs at any time of year.
What should I know before visiting Yew Tree Cottage with my dog?
The cottage is old, with low doorways and beamed ceilings — worth keeping in mind for your own sake, though your dogs won't care in the slightest. The garden is enclosed, up to two dogs are welcome, and the surrounding Wolds countryside offers footpaths in every direction that are largely quiet and rarely busy with other dogs.
