"The Priory is more than a Hotel, its a place your heart can relax and recharge" - M J, France
We are a quirky, heart-driven, historical hotel in the beautiful market town of Louth. With easy access to shops,cinema, restaurants pubs, and the various independent shops in the town. We are run with a charitable ethos with all profits creating opportunities for people with learning difficulties and supporting those who are struggling for food in the community through the Neighbours Kitchen. We believe in warm welcomes, special but unpretentious food and a relaxed yet attentive service. People are at the heart of what we do - you, our valued guests and our staff, most of whom may not have had the best start in life or have learning difficulties and whose potential has been overlooked - until now!!
The Priory is a former nautical and mathematical academy built in the Regency Gothic style and combines history, great atmosphere and a great cause. A refreshing place to stay, have a drink or a bite to eat, explore Louth and the Lincolnshire Wolds and Coast but above all - come make yourself at home. We can't wait to welcome you !
About the Priory
Designed and constructed by Thomas Espin FSA (learn more|) in the regency period, the Priory is a unique property. It started life as Thomas Espin’s Gothic Cottage and we are just custodians of his vision. He was a noted mathematician, historian, artist and architect and realized all of his passions at the Prioy. Which was built from remnants of Louth Park Abbey and architectural salvage from Louth’s Guildhall. It is an unpretentious but special place history is very much alive. Run as a Dr Mabletofts School for Nautical and Mathematical Studies. A charitable school for exceptional students who did'nt have the means to study further. Thomas Espin was, from what we can gather, a maverick and somebody who cared deeply about what he did. As a team we run the Priory in this spirit, keeping one eye on Mr Espin’s unique dream and the other on creating a magical place where where life and possibility drive our business and memories add to the human history of this special home.
