Skylark House Bed and Breakfast Retreat

About Us

Here in Old Bolingbroke we love sharing our home with our guests and enjoy providing a bit of 'space' for enjoying rural Lincolnshire.

We are 10 minutes from the A16 and 30 minutes from beautiful beaches on the Lincolnshire coast. (Gibraltar Point is a must.)
If you love walking and cycling we are on the southernmost tip of the rolling Lincolnshire Wolds (AONB), 300 metres from the Greenwich Meridian Trail long distance footpath, and within striking distance of the National Cycle Route No. 1.
A 55 minutes drive finds you in beautiful, historic Lincoln.
Nearer to home we are 5 minutes from Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, (with 'Just Jane' the famous Lancaster bomber); 10 minutes from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Visitor Centre in Coningsby.
Even nearer to home, Old Bolingbroke is a small village with a big past, once home to Henry IV in Bolingbroke Castle. The remains are still part of the Duchy of Lancaster and are managed by English Heritage.
National Trust properties at Gunby Hall and Tattershall Castle are only 10 minutes away, whilst Belton House in its 1300 acre estate and Isaac Newton's Woolsthorpe Manor House are only an hour away.

We offer.......

In addition to big beds and fluffy towels...

Tea and cake on arrival, a cosy guest lounge with TV/DVD player (feel free to browse our library for books or DVD's) with guest and tourist information, and games cupboard.

We provide complimentary high-speed internet access.

Breakfast served in the dining hall offers a choice of cold and full cooked english options.

Our developing 2 acre garden with its views is waiting for you to explore (bring stout shoes!).

Credit and debit cards accepted

We want you to love being at Skylark House. If at any stage of B&B booking or during your stay you have queries, require assistance or need local knowledge, please ask, and we'll be happy to help.
