Unique ‘Estate Village’ with Resident Squire to this very day! Bestoe Cottage is an impressive and characterful Detached Cottage built in 1861 and named after the Bestoe family, the original land owners.

There is a thriving village community who use the historic Moot Hall for social events, private hire, plus exercise classes, this was originally built for the estate workers and villagers in 1910. There was also a Primary School until recent years but these can now be found in Nettleton, North Kelsey or Caistor along with the highly regarded Caistor Grammar School. There are stunning walks through Countryside, Woodland plus Lakes and Ponds or in the village ‘March Yard’ which even hosts a village Festival. Shopping and Leisure services can be found in Caistor or Market Rasen, which also has a Railway Station for anyone needing to travel further afield.
