One of the best equipped cottages we have ever stayed in, and the owners, who live next door, were truly hospitable, getting in touch before we arrived and making all kinds of adjustments to ensure we were comfortable during a heatwave. We felt like invited and valued guests rather than customers.

We very much enjoyed our stay at The Stables in February 2025. Faye was so friendly and welcoming but fully respected our privacy during our stay. We loved the accommodation as it was bright, modern, clean and airy.

This was my second stay at the stables. The cottage offers everything you would expect from a holiday home at a high level. The city of Lincoln can be reached in a few minutes and after extensive sightseeing you can relax in the wonderful area around the cottage. The hosts 'Faye and Chris are very warm and helpful.
