Situated on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, Brackenborough Hall Coach House provides award winning self-catering accommodation on our 800 acre farm. We are only 2 miles from the lovely Georgian market town of Louth, 10 miles from the sandy beaches and nature reserves of Lincolnshire's coast and less than an hour from Lincoln Castle and Cathedral, Hull and Skegness.

 

Our apartments - Granary, Stables and Saddle Room have been converted from our 18th century Coach House. Since opening in 2007 we have been delighted to win both local and national awards recognising the quality of accommodation and the warm welcome that we extend to all guests.

We really enjoy helping guests to make the most of our farm and surroundings: families love the space, walkers can walk from the door, cyclists have use of our secure cycle shed and dogs (and other pets!) are welcome in all apartments. We offer short breaks all year round, with any start day and any number of nights.

 

We are proud to provide accessible accommodation for guests with limited mobility or hearing/visual impairments.

The Coach House was originally built as stables to Brackenborough Hall in the 18th century. Horses were kept in Stables and Saddle Room and carriages would have been parked in the central area between the two. In the 19th century the granary was added on the first floor to store sacks of grain and a clock tower was built - the striking of the bell told farm workers that it was time for lunch!

In the 20th century advances in technology meant that horses were no longer needed for transport or farm work. When Paul was growing up in the 1960s his sisters' ponies lived in some of the stables but there was also space for the farm dogs, a workshop and storage for fruit and vegetables from the garden.

By the 1980s there were no horses on the farm and Paul and his father, Ralph, were storing grain in the farmyard. Saddle Room became the farm office and the rest of the building continued to be used for storage but gradually fell into disrepair. Eventually, in 2004, the decision was made to convert to self-catering accommodation.

 

After careful renovation we opened in May 2007. It was great to hear the 'wows' when guests entered the apartments for the first time! In Granary you can watch the original (and still working!) clock mechanism and hear the bell chime and in Stables and Saddle Room you can enjoy the original hay racks, stable divides, mangers and herringbone brick floors.

When staying at Brackenborough you become part of the history of the estate - we hope to be able to welcome you soon!
