The Boathouse

The Boathouse is a waterside café just outside Lincoln where dogs are welcome inside on the hard floor areas. It's a handy coffee stop if you're exploring the Thorpe on the Hill lakes or need a mid-morning break without splitting the group.

Open daily from 10am to 4pm, it offers indoor seating and the usual café menu of hot drinks, light meals and cake. Your dog can settle in beside the table while you refuel, though the carpeted zones remain off-limits.

Useful for people visiting the lakes area who want a proper sit-down rather than a flask in the car park. The indoor welcome means wet paws and muddy walks don't force anyone to wait outside.
