Unique 1800s Blacksmith’s Workshop

Firsby, Lincolnshire

Welcome to the Blacksmith’s Workshop, a charming self-catering accommodation nestled in the small medieval settlement of East Firsby, Lincolnshire. This historic property, built in the 1800s, offers a unique ‘glamping’ experience, ideally suited for those seeking luxury and tranquility. Accommodating up to four guests, the workshop features one double bedroom and a pull-out sofa bed in the kitchen/living area. Guests will appreciate the preserved original characteristics of the building, alongside modern amenities such as electric heaters, a mini fridge, and a television with limited service. The property also boasts a private garden area that is dog-proof, making it a perfect retreat for pet owners.

Situated just a ten-minute drive from the market town of Spilsby, visitors can explore a variety of local restaurants, pubs, and shops, including a Sainsbury's and a co-op. The nearby Firsby Fudge kitchen adds to the local charm, offering delicious treats right at the top of the drive. The area is vibrant during the summer months, hosting events such as beer festivals and county shows, providing plenty of opportunities for guests to immerse themselves in local culture. For outdoor enthusiasts, the region is rich in public footpaths, perfect for cycling and dog walking, allowing guests to enjoy the natural beauty of Lincolnshire.

While the workshop offers a rustic experience, it also comes with some unique features and considerations. The hot water is supplied via an 8-liter tap, and cold water is stored in a 25-liter container, with additional fresh drinking water available for guests. The outdoor compost toilet and tented gas-powered shower with changing area add to the workshop's charm, although guests should be aware that the area has limited internet and Wi-Fi connectivity. The property is designed to be dog-friendly; however, guests are responsible for their pets, especially given the presence of neighboring livestock.

As a rural retreat, the Blacksmith’s Workshop provides a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Visitors should note that the building's age contributes to uneven floor areas and decorative workshop tools, which may pose challenges for guests with mobility issues. Overall, this vacation home is a perfect getaway for nature lovers and those looking to unwind in a picturesque setting, with local attractions such as Gunby Estate and Bolingbroke Castle enhancing the experience for all who visit.
