Easton Holiday Cottages
Stay at Easton
Easton Holiday Cottages offer a peaceful country stay within easy reach of Grantham, surrounded by the historic Easton Estate and its 12-acre Walled Gardens.
Our collection of cottages has grown from a desire to give old estate buildings a new life. Each has its own character, from cottages for two to larger houses for family and friends, making Easton a lovely base for a weekend away, a longer country break or a gathering with friends and family.
Grantham’s excellent road and rail connections also make Easton surprisingly easy to reach. The Estate is close to the A1 and Grantham railway station has direct services to London King’s Cross, making a country weekend possible without travelling deep into rural Lincolnshire.
Guests staying at Easton have the added pleasure of Easton Walled Gardens on their doorstep. Wander through meadows and borders, beneath old trees and along the terraces, and watch the garden change through the seasons. Snowdrops begin the gardening year, followed by spring blossom and bulbs, while summer brings roses, meadow flowers and Easton’s renowned sweet peas.
THE SCHOOL HOUSE
The School House
The School House is a characterful cottage in Burton-le-Coggles (also known as just Burton Coggles) on the Easton Estate, surrounded by countryside and within easy reach of both Grantham and Stamford.
With the gardens, Courtyard and wider Estate close by, it’s a peaceful place to return to after a day exploring Lincolnshire and the surrounding area.
A country escape near Grantham
The Cholmeley family has lived at Easton since 1561. For generations, life here centred around Easton Hall and its gardens, until the upheavals of the 20th century changed the Estate forever. The Hall was eventually demolished and, for decades, the gardens were largely left to nature.
In 2001, Ursula and Fred Cholmeley began the long process of bringing the gardens back to life. Rather than recreating a garden from another age, the surviving walls, terraces, bridge and other historic structures became the framework for the garden you see today.
That same approach runs through our holiday cottages. Historic estate buildings have been carefully restored and adapted into comfortable places to stay, retaining their individual character while providing everything needed for a relaxing break.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic weekend away, a dog-friendly cottage or somewhere for family and friends to gather, Easton is well placed for exploring Lincolnshire, Stamford, Rutland and the Vale of Belvoir.
Explore Grantham and the surrounding countryside
