Marris Cottage lies on the outskirts of Thorganby village. Set in the rural tranquillity of the Lincolnshire Wolds, this pretty, former shepherd's cottage, which sleeps 4, delightfully combines modern comfort with the charm of original features including a cast iron cooking range and open fire. Enjoying glorious views across rolling countryside and surrounded by quiet lanes, it is a haven for walkers and cyclists. The Georgian town of Louth, Lincoln's cobbled streets and soaring cathedral, antique centres, bird reserves, farmers' markets and seaside resorts are all an easy drive away. The local pub is a mile away and the local shop in Binbrook is 3 miles from the property.

A super location for walkers

Compact well equipped cottage, lovely rural location with great circular walk on the doorstep. Electric radiators warm the house quickly and the rather unusual range style fireplace is a nice feature if using the property in the cooler months although a wee bit smelly despite smokeless fuel. Kitchen is well equipped and generous fridge freezer but no dishwasher.
Main room a little tight if more than 4 staying.
Our visit was in a chilly October and it met our needs perfectly. I can see being able to use the outside space in warmer months would be lovely - such a quiet and attractive spot.

Cottage it’s self was nice , some of the interior is very tired looking and needs updating . The photos on the booking site need updating they look very presteen when items in cottage are not.
Also the house keeper needs to make sure that all the bins are put out regularly for bin collection days, when we arrived all bins were full.
We enjoyed our stay there , the scenery was lovely and very peaceful .
We would recommend staying there if property was updated .

Thank you for your very honest review. We have allocated a month over the winter to refurbish the whole cottage, as we are aware of your comments. When this is completed we will be asking the photographer to return and take new photos for the website. The comment regarding the wheelie bins is very useful feedback for me and I have already sent a message to housekeeping. I am glad you enjoyed the setting and peace and quiet and I do hope the issues you raised didn't impact your stay too much.

I was away on business for 5 weeks in Markey Rasen. After a poor experience at a hotel for a week and hotels in the area being thin on the ground I opted to search for a holiday home, and glad I did! What a beautiful little cottage this is surrounded by nothing but fields and trees and not another sole or home in site.
In fact I was so impressed I actually stayed for 4 weeks and so happy I am looking to come back for a short break in the summer with my wife.
100% would recommend if you want peace, quiet and tranquility.

Marris Cottage was literally everything we wanted for our week long 'do-nothing-but-enjoy-peace-and-quiet' break (apart from the wedding we had to go to!). Before booking the response we had to a query regarding dogs (we have 3 spaniels) was dealt with in such a friendly & helpful manner by the host that we booked online almost before hanging up the phone. From that moment we looked forward to our stay and were not one bit disappointed when we arrived. The cottage has a practical layout, well decorated and fitted, very clean and well maintained with a lovely view over a recently cut hay meadow. The Blackcaps gave us an evening concert more than once adding to the rural idyll around us. Cars passing on the road outside were so infrequent (could be no more than 3 or four each day) that we hardly really noticed them. The bedroom we used was very comfortable with a good sized ensuite shower and toilet.
Absolutely brilliant, thank you!

A stay at Marris Cottage was exactly what we needed; it's a perfect location 'in the middle of nowhere', blissfully quiet except for the wonderful birdsong; surrounded by fields and fresh air, but within an easy drive of local towns and villages or even the coast. The cottage is cosy but spacious, very clean and well kept, and provided all we needed for a very comfortable stay. The garden provides a welcome bonus for enjoying the daytime sun or the night-time stars. We look forward to returning to stay there again one day.

A peaceful and convenient location but the property felt a bit tired and dated. Although the white goods were fine the kitchen could do with a makeover.

Thank you for your very honest feedback. Marris Cottage is inspected by a Visit England representative each year and receives a comfortable 3 Star rating, which reflects what most guests describe as a homely feel! We also run two other cottages. Little Walk Cottage which attracts a 4 star rating and Beach Cottage which attracts a 5 star rating. I suspect from your comments that you would feel more comfortable in a 4/5 star rated property. I do apologise again for the interruption in WiFi cover.

2nd time rental of Marris Cottage, this time for an extended family get together to celebrate my retirement and significant birthday. We rented this together with Marris Barn, as there was a total of 19 of us. Everything was as before - exceptional attention to detail and facilities, with Marris Barn in particular exceeding all our expectations in every respect. All of my family commented on what a beautiful place and setting both properties were.
Highly recommended - you could not wish for a better place to stay that caters to your every need.

This was the second time we had booked Marris Barn. The first occasion 5 years ago for a family birthday celebration. We enjoyed our stay so much, that we decided to book Marris Barn again, as well as Marris Cottage to accommodate the growing family for yet another big birthday. Both properties were perfect for our weekend stay. We had very well equipped kitchen, large lounge area, games for the children and grown ups, baby equipment, sound system, swimming pool, games room, enclosed outside garden with some play equipment. Everything was clean and well maintained. Lovely views and country walks. Perfect.

We (a family of four, with children aged 11 and 15) had a wonderful two weeks staying in Marris Cottage in December 2019. We were in need of peace and quiet after a busy year and that is exactly what we got. Marris Cottage is secluded and quiet with lovely views over the fields - you really feel like you are away from everything. However, a 20 minute drive and you are in Cleethorpes or Louth to do your shopping! The cottage itself is basic, but clean and comfortable. We loved our stay here and will definitely book again when we are visiting from Australia to visit our family. If you're in need of rest and rejuvenation, look no further!

Arrived at 8pm in the dark but really easy to find the key locker - bring a torch. Nice n warm inside, sorted and relaxed by 8.30pm. And a comp bottle of wine, nice touch. Good beds, great sleep. Garden is secure, so no dogget worries. Couple of walks from the cottage but if like me you like long walks with the dogs then drive for 5 mins. Wanderlust way at Wold Newton and Binbrook to Stainton are excellent. Didn't try Clickem Arms as it's not dog friendly- unless you call sitting outside as being that!! Will defo return next early summer and take advantage of the views - bbq - south facing.

We booked the cottage as the whole family couldn’t fit into the Barn - it is a short walk down the lane and was used for sleeping (the Barn can accommodate more round the table if required).

The cottage is an ideal base for a smaller party too with everything you could need for a stay there.

A really sensational visit to a stunning part of the world which can easily be overlooked when choosing a holiday destination. Living and working on the Yorkshire Wolds and travelling throughout North Yorkshire I get to see some lovely scenery and feel the views from the Cottage are up there with the very best of them. We have had a great stay and we are looking forward to coming back soon.

This was our 6th stay at marris cottage and it did not fail to please. The weather was beautiful and so we were able to enjoy the garden properly for the first time and what a delight it was! It was so peaceful and tranquil, the views are even more spectacular when the sun is shining.

Quaint traditional cottage, in the Lincolnshire countryside. Lovely views from the patio area. Within walking distance of other familiy staying in Maris Barn. Excellent Customer Service from Emma. Only a 20 minute drive from local towns. Fishing organised by James, just a short drive away. Bottle of wine, as a "Welcome" gift was a nice touch. Enjoyable stay had by both couples.

We had a great week at Marris Cottage. The cottage itself was cosy and felt like home straight away, there was more than enough space for us and it was handy to have two bathrooms (and an extra WC downstairs!). The one downside was that the cooker could do with updating - the oven particularly was not very effective which meant we spent quite a while waiting for dinner one night! But otherwise we can't fault the place! The garden looked out onto fields and there were some beautiful rural walks from the house and plenty to do just short drives away. We even had weasels playing in the garden just outside the french doors! The price was very reasonable for the quality of the house and the tranquility and beauty of the location. We'd definitely recommend the cottage to others and come again ourselves!



The best cottage we stayed in for 10years.

Very comfortable cottage with lovely views which we thought was excellent value for what we paid. We received very good service from the owners from booking until the end of our stay. I now wish to try one of their other properties especially the one at Anderby creek but it is so popular it will probably be 2018 before we can get in !

This was our fourth visit to Marris Cottage, only this time we bought our son, daughter in law and baby granddaughter along. We all had a fantastic time and will definitely be returning. The cottage is just delightful, with everything you need to feel at home, it's clean, comfortable and in a stunning location. Thank you again.

Superb location for a very quiet, restful stay so we could join our local group's walks at nearby Binbrook, Tealby, Rothwell and Louth. The view from the back across the fields is outstanding and the resident bird life in the garden adds interest - on our last morning we were entertained by a tawny owl in the apple tree being mobbed by numerous smaller birds and a goldcrest apparently challenging its reflection in the kitchen window. The thoughtfully renovated cottage itself is well equipped with a sensible sized fridge/freezer, washer and drier and excellent wifi. The Lincolnshire Wolds is a beautiful, unspoilt area and we hope to return sometime soon.

Marris cottage is a break away from it all. Lots of places to walk with the dog. Not much to do of an evening as local pub doesn't take dogs so have to drive out a bit if you don't want to leave the pooch at home. Good for a quiet break

We used this cottage for a short break whilst house hunting in the area. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine, milk, tea and coffee . The cottage was clean, warm and comfortable and is in a very quiet area of the wolds having a small garden and some great views, with horses in the field in front of the cottage which is situated on a very quiet country road..
The working range is great and makes the place really cosy on a cold night. . You do need to take your own smokeless coal along with kindling as there is none.
The beds are comfortable and the shower is excellent, although it is slow to get going, as is the hot water in the kitchen.
All in all, a really lovely holiday cottage in a lovely location.
The only criticism would be that the TV is very small, we found it difficult to watch for any length of time.

Have a really lovely break in this beaitfully comfy warm cottage. Emma was fantastic and very helpful. Location was close to some pubs. The cottage was really lovely but not pretentious and you really felt you could live in it. Only downside for my family as we are four adults now there really isn't enough eating space

Lovely cottage in incredibly peaceful location (8 cars and 1 tractor went past in 3 days!) with views over Lincolnshire wolds. The cottage is comfortable and clean with an amazing shower and very comfy bed. We love the area with lots of walks in every direction and good pubs with nice beer and food (the Click 'em and The Ship are particularly good). The owner is very friendly and is kind enough to let us bring our pets with us. It was a very cold weekend when we stayed but the storage heaters had been switched on in advance so the cottage was warm, even though we forgot to bring logs for the fire! However we were able to get some locally, for free! We had a lovely weekend and hope to go back in the spring. Birdwatching from the kitchen door is excellent!

I loved my stay in this beautiful cottage. The fire was especially cozy. Would definitely recommend to others. The only thing I would mention is the bathroom off the twin room did not have a shower so we all had to use the one of the double room. Aside from that I cannot fault it.



One week away from it all. me, my partner, mum and our little dog.

We stayed at the cottage for one week it truly wasn't long enough, we could have stayed alot longer it was home from home without all the stress. The weather had turned it was a bit chilly outside BUT not indoors the heating was fantastic. The beds were so comfortable for all of us the best nights sleep we have had for some time. We made the fire and this was so nice. Only used 2 bags of smokeless fuel for the full week. This you can get in Binbrook. Before we left home i had ordered our shopping to be delivered from asda this was delivered one hour after we arrived i had got a full shop for all of us for the week i would recomend doing this there is a good size fridge freezer so no worries just buy everything you need. I would recommend this cottage to anyone who wants time out. Im sure we will be back.

A lovely cottage in the heart of the Wolds, on a very quiet lane....i think we had 2 horse-riders and a tractor go past one day !! The views to the rear of the property were fantastic, and would be great to sit out on the patio area and BBQ on a warmer day. Lots of attractions and places to eat out nearby, with access to Farm walks and numerous other public footpaths in the area. We have previously stayed at Hall Farm's Little Walk Cottage, and we will certainly return in the future, the problem will be choosing which one !! Emma and her team always seem willing to help if you have any queries.

Firstly I'll start by saying that we were deliberately looking for somewhere very out of the way. And we definitely got it here!
The cottage is situated on a tiny narrow lane. I can't stress how narrow the road is; you'll turn into it and think "I've got to take my car down there?!". I should state that I drive a 7 seater that's wider than the average car and I could get it down the road, and parked up easily so it's absolutely fine, and definitely worth it for the stunning views over open countryside.
A car is absolutely essential here, as is good organisational skills. There is a pub that serves food a mile away, which is a pleasant walk, however it was not open until 5pm for most of the week so before you take a stroll around to it, check their opening times (may be different in summer?) There is a small village of Binbrook 3 miles away which does have a couple of general store type shops but, frankly we found them really very basic, not terribly friendly and quite expensive. My thoughts were that if you have to drive to go to a shop, you may as well go a bit further into Market Rasen, have a look around the nice little shops there and get what you need in the supermarket. Tesco's apparently delivers to the cottage (we didn't use them though). All that said, a short stroll down the lane and we found an old phone box that was being used to dish out free potatoes!
When we arrived there was a nice welcome pack - milk, a bottle of wine and the usual tea coffee and sugar (if you've never stayed in cottages before it's worth stating that previous occupants usually leave behind some supplies so you may find quantities vary and there might be other things left for you too).
The cottage itself is comfortable, with large living/dining room with a large comfy sofa and armchair and a nice range fireplace (the fireplace can be used but it's not a working range although we did manage to prove a lovely loaf of bread or three in what was the old oven). The kitchen is small and quite basic but good enough for our needs. The two bedrooms are a good size, with plenty of storage and both having en-suites (one a bath, the other a shower). In the double bedroom there is a small cot room - we didn't need this but the room itself came is quite handy for storing out cases in.
The beds were comfy - the double mattress rather soft for my liking (but then I sleep on a very firm mattress normally) with great quality bedding that felt lovely to sleep on. The en-suite walk in shower in this room was great - not the most powerful shower I've used but the rainfall shower head was lovely to use anyway and it was large enough to make washing easy and handy for getting a wriggling child under it too. There's also a downstairs toilet and utility room with washing machine and tumble drier in. At this point is would be prudent to advise that the waste water drains to a septic tank; this is no way will affect you as it's completely hidden but it does mean that you can't flush everything and anything down the toilets (we were quite amused by the signs indicating "no teabags" which made us wonder who on earth walked from the kitchen to the loo to try and flush them then!)
The cottage is equipped with night storage heaters; if you are going in colder months and have never used these before, I strongly advise you to read up about them first so you know how they work and can control them. The owners had very thoughtfully put them on for us so we have a lovely warm first night. Hot water is on an immersion boiler and there was always plenty for the 4 of us. Other facilities like a hair dryer, ironing board and iron, vacuum cleaner etc. are available, as well as a cot and high chair if needed. There's a couple of radios, CD player, selection of books, playing cards and games and a TV/DVD player of which we found the screen rather small! Wi Fi access is good considering the remote location.
The only con I can think of is the parking which is on the grass verge opposite the cottage. I was quite wary parking a 2 ton vehicle on a muddy grass verge (and risk getting stuck) but as it happened that was ok as the ground underneath was quite firm. However you then need to cross over a grass verge on the other side to get into the cottage. I'm sure that in fine, dry weather this isn't an issue but for us - at the tail end of winter when it was quite wet - we got quite muddy doing so. I would advise wellies!
In summary this was a really pleasant, comfortable cottage in a lovely location. Perfect for walks and a peaceful country getaway.

My wife and I along with my brother and his wife stayed at Marris Cottage for 3 nights. When we arrived we were delighted to find everything we needed already there, even down to fresh milk, tea and coffee for our arrival. Everything was spotless. We were very comfortable, the beds especially so.
The rest of our family stayed in the Barn with a fantastic array of facilities which they shared with us.
All in all we had a brilliant time.

A wonderful third stay at Marris Cottage.- a real home from home in the delightful Lincolnshire Wolds in the month of September during harvest time. The charm, peace and quiet of the cottage, surpasses all that I have stayed in during recent years, it is clean and spotless and all that you need is provided for. It's hosts Emma and James are just lovely people who are there to make your stay most enjoyable. The surrounding countryside is just beautiful whilst being wooed to sleep by calling tawny owls and woken by cooing wood pigeons what more could you want for?

A thoughtful conversion of this lovely old cottage has made it an excellent holiday home - an example is that both bedrooms have full en-suite facilities at opposite ends of the building, so there is no disturbance to the other occupants. Set by a very minor road with unbelievably little traffic, with wonderful views over the surrounding farmland, it was a haven for lovers of wildlife - one day a stoat popped out of the bank just feet from the window!

The cottage was well fitted out, with very adequate crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils in the kitchen, and the bedrooms, though small, were well furnished.

The Lincolnshire Wolds all around are incredibly quiet and beautiful, yet Cleethorpes/Grimsby and the coast are only a short drive away in one direction; the beautiful cathedral city of Lincoln is little over half an hour away in the other direction.

Marris Cottage is in a shaded location with a view in the height of summer over sunlit fields of corn. That it remains n the shade means it is a cool place to return to after a day in the sun. Delightful and cosy and perfect for a reclusive away-from-it-all stay.

Another wonderful stay at Marris Cottage. Having been in autumn and Spring, I now need to try it out in Summer also.
Everything that one could possibly want is provided and the cottage is delightful. The beds are wonderfully comfortable also. The shower room and kitchen walls are however looking a little bit tired and could do with being freshed up a little.

Has everything you can ask for ... all modern conveniences in a cottage with character ... peaceful surroundings, ideal for walks and outdoors. Owners are fantastic ... very helpful even with issues not related to the accommodation with a view to making your stay as pleasant as possible. Fantastic
