Probably the best holiday cottage we have ever booked, will definitely book again. Furniture was seriously comfortable and very well appointed cottage throughout. Idyllic setting and close to the local pub, garden centre and walks from the door.

Absolutely amazing. We arrived by excellent instructions, the place was gorgeous even better than the pictures. The welcome goodies were a lovely treat. The dog was in his element with the amount of garden he had to run around and extra walks just a the end if the garden. Would definitely recommend and we will be back

The house is situated on the outskirts of the village of Thimbleby, with the local pub just a 10-minute walk away. There is ample parking and a secure garden for four-legged friends. The house was warm, and the beds were comfortable. The showers were powerful, with plenty of hot water. Lots of equipment is provided; we only made use of the kitchen Read moreappliances (oven and dishwasher). There is also a large fridge and freezer. The garden is beautiful; unfortunately, due to the time of year, it was a little too cold to enjoy it fully. I would imagine that in the warmer months it would make a lovely additional social space. There is a great circular walk directly from the house, across well-signed footpaths. It is just over two miles in length and takes you around and into the village. We didnt find a local shop in the village, but there is a small Asda on the main road into Horncastle. The bus to Lincoln or Skegness is a 1520 minute walk from the house, with services run by Stagecoach. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend it. Hide

Easy to find with spacious rooms and comfy beds. Also easy to get to local shops in Horncastle for supplies. Good walks locally, plus a visit to Lincoln is a must to see the castle, cathedral plus shops, using the park and ride was well worth it and if 2 of you ask for a joint bus ticket. Easy to get to NT properties including the nature reserve atRead more Sandifields, Gunby Estate and Tattershall Castle. Good roads making it easy to get around with a warm house with underfloor heating waiting for you on your return. Hide
