Linger, verb. /ˈlɪŋ.ɡər/ To stay on in a place longer than expected, as if from reluctance to leave. To dwell in contemplation, thought, enjoyment.

Tucked in tight against a hill in the unexplored Lincolnshire Wolds. Sheltered from the East winds by a small, private woodland; our handmade, reclaimed shepherds huts are our tribute to a lost way of life. Switch off from the pressures of modern life and allow yourself a moment or two to reconnect with a time when nature set the pace.

In the Footsteps of Roman Legions...

A 7-mile loop through the southern Lincolnshire Wolds, linking Fulletby, Belchford, Tetford and the hamlet of Salmonby. You get woods, lakes, rolling hills and some of the best views in the county (so much for Lincolnshire being flat).

The name comes from a stretch that follows an old Roman road. Just down the hill, Horncastle still has parts of its Roman walls, built of local sandstone around 1,700 years ago and in places still standing over 3m high.

The Fulletby to Belchford leg follows the Viking Way, the 147-mile trail from the Humber to Rutland Water, waymarked by its little yellow Viking helmets.

Tetford is Tennyson country. The young poet grew up a mile or so away in Somersby and is said to have been a regular at the White Hart.

Back in Fulletby, look out for the church where Henry Winn served as parish clerk for an astonishing 72 years. He was the village cobbler, schoolteacher and poet too.

Stout boots, a flask, and about 4 hours. Worth every muddy step.

You’re still under the down duvet when the kettle begins to sing on the stove. Steam curls up past the window, and outside the valley is just waking too: mist sitting low on the hills, a pheasant calling somewhere in the field.

You’d planned to be up early. To walk to the pub, maybe try the foraging. But the log burner’s still warm from last night, the tea’s nearly ready, and the morning has other ideas.

So you pour a cup, wrap a wool blanket round your shoulders, and sit on the step of the hut watching the light come over the Wolds.

An hour later, you’re still there.

That’s the thing about this place... You come for a night, and you end up lingering but that’s rather the point..

Why not come linger for yourself? We’ve left the link in our bio if you’re curious..

If you’re seeing this whilst in the office… we’re sorry.

Because we know where we’d rather be.

Somewhere in the Lincolnshire Wolds, tucked away in a little shepherd’s hut.

Slow mornings beneath the duvet, the kettle on, a fire crackling away and nothing on the agenda but deciding where to wander next.

No emails to answer. No clock to watch. Just the countryside, the changing seasons and a little time to yourself.

Consider this your sign to turn on the out-of-office and head somewhere a little more off-grid.

Your next escape to Linger is waiting...

Not everything good comes easy.

Often, going the long way round is more enjoyable.

At Linger, we may not have central heating, but it’s still warm and cosy by the fire, or tucked up with a hot water bottle. There’s no running water, but you can still shower. There’s no television or coffee machine, but you won’t miss them.

Don’t think of it as going without, its more about what you gain; time for yourself, finding joy in noticing the small things

A different kind of comfort, and a little reminder that we don’t always need quite as much as we think we do.

Come and Linger awhile - the link is in our bio 🌾

Chess - a game of patience, strategy and thinking a few moves ahead. Ohhh we love a good metaphor…

Why are we living like we’re playing a game of chess? Always thinking about what comes next. The next job, the next plan, the next place we need to be. Under attack, check mate.

A stay at Linger is a chance to forget about your next move for a while...

To wake when you wake. Put the kettle on. Start a game of chess and leave it on the bed while you head out for a walk. Come back to it later. Or don’t.

There’s no schedule to keep and no need to think too far ahead.

Just a few days where life can move at its own pace.

The next move can wait…

It goes without saying, we do everything we can to reduce our impact on the environment 🍃
