A canal-side shepherd's hut near the Lincolnshire Wolds, with an outdoor bathtub, a mini vineyard, and total privacy.

Bain View Glamping provides luxury camping with a wild side in a stylish Lincolnshire site. Enclosed in a tiny private vineyard, the well-equipped shepherd's hut provides access to a truly beautiful farm space, with canal frontage and wonderful views. Wake up to the sound of sheep and cows in the neighbouring fields and relax with a glass of wine in the outdoor 'bush bath' beside your hut.

Bain View takes full advantage of its lush surroundings by providing plenty of ways to enjoy the great outdoors. There's a firepit over beside the pond, letting you cook up your food with a view, and there's outdoor seating for al fresco dining. The facilities are also impressive while remaining eco-conscious – there's a well-equipped kitchen and a full bathroom with a rain shower, compost toilet, and biodegradable toiletries. And what about lazing in the hammock with your dog? Your four-legged friends will love exploring the area and you can leave them to happily play in a fenced-off area.

The titular River Bain runs alongside the site, letting you embark on a waterside walk to the picturesque market town of Horncastle, which has a variety of great pubs and cafes along with a diverse range of independent shops. The town is backed by the Lincolnshire Wolds, providing over 200 miles of spectacular scenery to explore; travel through it to reach the Georgian town of Louth, hailed as a prime destination for foodies given its fantastic restaurants and lively weekly markets.

Hut Tanganyika
We loved our stay in the hut. It was so clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. The fire pit and grill were great too. We explored Louth and Horncastle in our short time there and enjoyed an amazing sunset and had a clear night for stargazing. Would happily return.

Colonial Bell Tent
This is a beautiful spot to stay at. My children and I stayed in the colonial tent which was super cosy. The bed was comfortable with a lovely snuggle duvet and plump pillows, none of the pillows like postage stamps you can get at some places! There were plenty of blankets if it got too cold, and the wood burner made the tent cosy in the evenings and the solar lights were a great idea. Unfortunately it was too wet to cook on the fire pit but there are 2 gas hobs to cook on and all cooking utensils which you may need. The compost toilet was easy to use and the shower is lovely, felt lovely to have a shower then sit in the rocking chair in front of the fire🥰. The land is beautifully kept, lots of area for walks, my dog loved the openess as we were there on our own for a couple of nights, but there is a very long lead your dog can be attached to as well when people are staying in the other areas. Lexi and Charles are lovely, super friendly, the little touches lexi went to for us was thoroughly appreciated. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking at glamping to stay here, I will be returning in the future as I think I've found a gem of a place. The only downside I did have was the traffic noise at night as I was in the tent, but you quickly get used to it, and falling asleep to gentle rain pattering on the tent with the crackle of the fire slowly burning out, it was just magical x

Colonial Bell Tent
Camping with young kids.
2 adults and 2 kids (2 year olds) all had the most amazing time in the bell tent. The facilities were excellent, with everything you needed. It was the kids first time camping and they loved every minute. It was great to sit on the decking on an evening, with the kids asleep, glass of wine and watch the sun go down. Would definitely come back.

Vineyard Shepherds Hut
Beautiful Relaxing space
Beautiful site and space inside. It was so good to have the fencing around the vineyard and let our little dog roam around off lead. Really good facilities inside, kitchen and bathroom were great. The road is a little busy (not that that’s reflected in my review) just so people know. There are nice walks locally and Horncastle is really close by. It was such a relaxing stay and the owners and really helpful and friendly. We will defiantly return!

Vineyard Shepherds Hut
We had a fabulous couple of nights at Bain view, it’s a well set out site, the Vineyard hut has a great private garden. The Hut is very comfortable, lovely hot shower and very well equipped, the owners seems to have thought of most things. There is some road noise, but the views more the make up for that. For us, some comfortable outdoor chairs on the decking would complete a very nice Hut.

Colonial Bell Tent
Family of 4 first time Glampers.
We stayed in the bell tent, 2 adults and 2 smaller children. We all had an excellent time getting back to the things that count. Family meals cooked on the well supplied kitchenette and BBQ and relaxing as the sun goes down in the comfortable surroundings. Lexi has set the place up perfectly, everything very eco friendly but at the same time to a super high standard. We would all definitely stay again.

From the host
Located on a 5 acre pasture with pond and canal frontage, Bain View Glamping is a small peaceful site with only 3 luxurious glamp pods: The Colonial Bell Tent, Vineyard Shepherds Hut and Hut Tanganyika. All units have a private shower, eco loo and kitchen, are solar powered, dog friendly and are fully furnished for your comfort. Situated on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds (AONB) and 5 min drive from Horncastle, it's perfect for walkers and those looking for a countryside break. With undisturbed sunset views, pour yourself a drink and light the fire for an evening under a canopy of stars.
Nearby attractions

Horncastle is only a 5-minute drive away or, if you're feeling adventurous, just over an hour's walk along the River Bain. The town is famed for its antiques, with it brimming with shops letting you purchase some unique goods. Wolds Wildlife Park is also located in the town, providing a fantastic wildlife experience featuring a variety of animals, from lions to brown bears. For walks, you're right next to the river, or you can take a 10-minute drive to the Spa Trail, a popular peaceful walk from Woodhall to Horncastle notable for the many sculptures that line the route.

Food and drink

Horncastle has plenty of places to eat and drink, including a number of popular pubs. The Kings Head should be top of your list, sitting in the centre of the town's Bull Ring and unmissable thanks to its thatched roof (it is known locally as "The Thatch"). It's been around for centuries, as is evident from its low ceilings, with appropriately vintage decor and a nice open fire. For food in the evening, head to Shakesby's, which serves traditional British food with a modern twist in a warm and welcoming environment. The menu is constantly evolving, and its popularity means booking is advised (01507 526626). Foodies really should head a little further out to Louth, where steak lovers won't forget The Ranch Steakhouse and Grill, an award-winning restaurant serving the finest cuts of meat in a cool American-styled setting. Again, bookings are advised (01507 606889).
