Linger

Directions Website

Linger Linger, verb. /ˈlɪŋ.ɡər/ To stay on in a place longer than expected, as if from reluctance to leave. To dwell in contemplation, thought, enjoyment.

Tucked in tight against a hill in the unexplored Lincolnshire Wolds. Sheltered from the East winds by a small, private woodland; our handmade, reclaimed shepherds huts are our tribute to a lost way of life. Switch off from the pressures of modern life and allow yourself a moment or two to reconnect with a time when nature set the pace.

Not everything good comes easy.

Often, going the long way round is more enjoyable.

At Linger, we may not have central heating, but it’s still warm and cosy by the fire, or tucked up with a hot water bottle. There’s no running water, but you can still shower. There’s no television or coffee machine, but you won’t miss them.

Don’t think of it as going without, its more about what you gain; time for yourself, finding joy in noticing the small things

A different kind of comfort, and a little reminder that we don’t always need quite as much as we think we do.

Chess - a game of patience, strategy and thinking a few moves ahead. Ohhh we love a good metaphor…

Why are we living like we’re playing a game of chess? Always thinking about what comes next. The next job, the next plan, the next place we need to be. Under attack, check mate.

A stay at Linger is a chance to forget about your next move for a while...

To wake when you wake. Put the kettle on. Start a game of chess and leave it on the bed while you head out for a walk. Come back to it later. Or don’t.

There’s no schedule to keep and no need to think too far ahead.

Just a few days where life can move at its own pace.

The next move can wait…

Some stays stay with you long after you’ve left 🤍

We recently had a couple come to stay at Linger, and afterwards they popped back with warm focaccia from a local bakery to say thank you.

But it was what they said next that really stayed with us...

This was a little reminder to us on what Linger is all about...

A chance to slow down, think about what you’re doing, and realise just how little you really need to be happy.

Less rushing. Less noise. Less clutter. More time together, more appreciation for the simple things and a chance to just be.

Why not come and find out how little you really need...

An autumn feast, just not quite the autumn weather we expected...

We had pictured crisp mornings, extra layers and blankets wrapped around our shoulders by now.

Instead, autumn seems to be taking its time this year, gifting us a few more unexpectedly warm afternoons.

So we’re making the most of them.

Taking lunch outside, setting the table in the field and letting a slow Sunday stretch on for as long as the October light allows...

There’ll be plenty of time for cosy days tucked inside the hut.

For now, we’re rather enjoying autumn like this 🤍

Someone once pointed out that we’d forgotten the curtains.

We hadn’t.

There’s something rather special about falling asleep as the Wolds grow dark and waking when the first morning light begins to spill through the windows.

No blackout blinds. No alarm telling you it’s morning. Just the gentle change of light, working with your natural body clock and bringing you back to a rhythm that feels a little more instinctive.

Because so much of life is spent shutting the outside out.

Here, we’d rather let it in.

So the curtains weren’t forgotten. They were simply never part of the plan.

Some places are made for doing. Linger was made for simply being.

Slow mornings with nowhere to rush to, walks through the Wolds, a brew enjoyed outside and evenings tucked away in your own little corner of the countryside.

No schedules. No need to fill every hour. Just a little more time to notice what’s around you and to stay a little while longer...

When did ‘convenient’ become ‘rushed’?

Push a button – instant coffee. No input required as we scroll mindlessly through endless notifications and emails

Push another button – instant hot water. No thought required, especially thoughts of how much water we’re using and how much energy (not ours) is going in to heating it.

Convenience once meant ‘harmony’, or ‘coming together’ (no kidding, we looked it up). Isn’t it funny that in making things so easy and fast, even our meaning of that word has changed? We’ve built complicated machines to perform simple tasks for us, and in doing so, we’ve lost the ability to notice how beautifully simple they are.

So we’ve deliberately stripped back convenience to its original meaning. Yes you can still enjoy a delicious, steaming mug of good coffee, and yes you can still have a hot shower. But you’ll have to make them yourself, together, harmoniously.

Will it slow you down? Also yes, intentionally (think of it as a speed bump) but then, where are you rushing off to?

And that’s rather the point.

Take the time, notice the simplicity of it. The kettle whistling. The smell of coffee filling the hut. The birds singing while the water splashes from the bucket shower, and the breeze wakes you up, how wonderful it feels to wrap up warm afterwards and sit on the step outside, hands wrapped around a steaming cup.

Perhaps doing things slowly is more convenient in the long run.

Come and Linger awhile – convenient speed bumps guaranteed 🤎

Autumn at Linger isn’t about filling the days. It’s about leaving a little more space in them.

For long walks with nowhere particular to get to. Coming home rosy-cheeked to a crackling fire. A book finally opened. The kettle going on again. Watching the light disappear over the Wolds and staying outside just long enough for the first stars to appear.

Then waking slowly, coffee in hand, with absolutely no reason to check the time.

A little wilder, a little slower, and wonderfully removed from everything else.
