Competition | Win a two-night stay in a themed vehicle

David Parker March 14, 2025

Win a one-of-a-kind stay worth £330 in the Lincolnshire countryside

The Layby Lincs offers adult-only, pet-friendly, themed vehicle accommodation on the southern edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB. It’s a short drive to amazing sandy beaches, nature reserves and bustling market towns.

Louise and Alex bought Mill Lane Farmhouse in August 2022 and then set about building their dream escape for those looking to stay somewhere truly memorable, all set around a wildlife pond in their back garden.

 If a comfy, cosy, country getaway with unusual accommodation appeals to you, then this is your chance to win a two-night stay in one of the five vehicles, worth £330.

With five individually themed vehicles, there is something to suit every taste. Will you choose the bold and bright 70s disco themed RV, Alabama (above)? Or are you looking for something a little more subdued, like the English country cottage style of the racehorse transporter, Gee Gee (below)?

Staying in one of the individually themed vehicles is closer to staying in a luxury holiday cottage than it is to camping. Each one has a king size bed with cotton linens, and sustainable duvets and pillows made from recycled cotton and feathers. There is air conditioning for both heating and cooling, as well as WiFi. Outside is a private deck with your own covered kitchen, (made with 95% recycled deck boards). There is no need to share facilities, you get your own private bathroom, with fluffy towels, robes and vegan, cruelty free toiletries. Each vehicle also has its own woodfired hot tub, which is perfect for stargazing, and a fire pit for toasting marshmallows.

The site is a boutique, adults only and pet friendly retreat, with an ethos focussed on repurposing, recycling and relaxing. The whole site, (including the couple’s home), is powered by their own large solar and battery system. Being situated in a rural setting they are very fortunate to have a host of wildlife pass through the site. You might even be lucky enough to see the breeding Barn Owls who have their box on the side of the barn. Alex and Louise look forward to hosting you and any furry, feathered or scaly friends you bring to stay.

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
