The Rector's Retreat, new for Jan 22, is situated in The Old Vicarage, one of Lincoln's landmark buildings. We have aimed to reflect the period of the main building and the history of the city in our design, while providing modern comforts, so that the apartment plays a full part in your Lincoln experience, rather than just being the place you are staying at. Throw open the french doors and bring the outside in. Walk out onto the spacious decking area and take in the stunning view across the city and countryside beyond. Relax in the open plan living space with contemporary bar-style kitchen, period furniture and entertainment facilities. Recharge with a great night's sleep in the historic king-size bed with Vi-Spring mattress and wake up to the choice of a refreshing walk-in shower or a soak in the bath. One of the best things about 'The Rector's Retreat' is the combination of its completely central location and the fact that it has a private parking space included in your booking. No messing about with on-street parking permits and fighting for spaces near to the accommodation, just park in your designated car park space outside the flat and unpack!

Paul and Valerie have been working on 'The Rector's Retreat' since December 2018, following on from the success of their first apartment, 'The Curate's Quarters' which is next door. We have aimed to provide all the features we would look for in a holiday home ourselves. We believe that a trip away should not just be a case of being somewhere else. We want people to feel that our apartment is a fully designed experience and a bit more than a home from home. The whole family has been involved in the hard work and design. We can't wait to share our special space with our guests! And if there are any problems we live in a village just outside Lincoln, so are on hand to help out.

From the apartment, the castle is just around the corner and the cathedral is within easy walking distance. The vibrant bars and eateries of the Bailgate and Steep Hill are also a minute or two away by foot, and the museums, art galleries and antique shops are also a stone's throw away. Nearby Castle Square is a hub for events such as the Christmas Market, Farmers Markets, specialist weekends such as the 1940s weekend and the Steampunk Festival, and of late, has often turned itself over to being a film set, so if you're lucky, you might catch a few well known faces in period costume! In recent years, Lincoln has undergone a significant programme of redevelopment to capitalise on its status as one of England's most important historical cities, and the rapidly growing reputation of the University has showcased the city's charms to a far wider audience.
