Address: The Den at Star Fen, Star Fen Cottage, Star Fen, Heckington, Lincolnshire, NG34 9ND, United Kingdom
The Den is set in the idyllic surroundings of the tiny hamlet of Star Fen, just outside Heckington, Sleaford, Lincolnshire only two minutes from the A17 trunk road midway between the A1 exits for Newark and Grantham and North Norfolk.  
You can get to us by:

Car
From the West, take the A17 towards Sleaford. After East Heckington, turn right towards South Kyme, then first left towards Heckington. Star Fen will be on your right hand side.

From the East, take the A17 from Sleaford towards Kings Lynn. Most satnav systems instruct you to turn left down a country lane. This route is great if it is a nice sunny day, but perilous in wintery conditions. So ignore this and continue along the A17 and turn right into Heckington. Go through the village and out the other side, picking up the signs towards South Kyme until you reach Star Fen on your left (about 1 mile outside Heckington)
