The cottage was perfect, comfortable and spotless . We had a weekend with amazing weather and sitting out in the garden was wonderful. We took Ubers into town which was easy and not too expensive. The Castle and Cathedral are spectacular and we especially enjoyed the Victorian prison.

Excellently fitted out cottage in quiet cul-de-sac off main road (via narrow and hard to spot entrance). Good base for exploring historic Lincoln city and the Lincolnshire Wolds to the East.

Wonderful cottage with a really lovely layout. It was the perfect size for the 6 of us adults and our doggy. We spent rainy days in the cottage and enjoyed relaxing in the lounge and eating around the dining table. The utility room was great for drying things and the courtyard garden was beautiful and safe for our dog. The cottage was lovely and clRead moreean and it was a lovely walk along the river to Lincoln. We would definitely stay again. Hide

Our first thoughts on arrival was 'oh! wow!' The cottage was impeccably clean, it was immensely comfortable and very homely! The location was brilliant and all the windows provided a great view over the countryside. There was ample space in the cottage for all of us. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone taking a break in the area.

What a brilliant find. It feels like a home, not a holiday rental. So cozy. Lots of lovely walks from the door. The village has everything you need (The Ferry Inn included) and Lincoln is minutes away. The host was also brilliant. Great communication, flexible and accommodating. Fantastic.

The house is a real home from home and big enough for 2 families to stay in without being on top of each other. Everything you could need is provided. Amazing view from the bathroom across the fields. Close to Lincoln and sights. We really enjoyed our stay, there was great communication from the owner who checked we had everything we needed and kinRead moredly offered for us to stay longer if we wished, as well as early check in and late check out. We would love to return in the future. Thank you. Hide
