Stayed for a long weekend and White Acres was a perfect base. Has everything you could need - comfy sofa and beds, fully equipped kitchen and enclosed, safe garden for our little Westie. It's a short drive into Lincoln. The weather was great so we had a nice walk into the village along the canal. Would highly recommend a stay here.

White Acres is a very cosy, comfortable, home-away-from-home that is well equipped and full of character, with exposed beams and many pretty pictures and ornaments dotted around.

For us White Acres is positioned at the end of a long, private and quiet canalside driveway. The property is very roomy with a vaulted ceilings in all rooms. We enjoyed all the small details like plastic containers, a variety of bowls for eating and serving from. The well equipped kitchen was a real boom. The restoration of this property is in keepRead moreing with a countryside location. The location is strategic to visit Lincoln within 12 minutes. A short drive to the local pubs is worth the visit.
