"Mandy could not do enough for us and the cottage was so comfortable."
-
"A lovely peaceful stay in a well equipped cottage."
It's situated by a garden centre and a small caravan site. For several days we were the only people there and we spotted a deer walking across the camping field close to our gate but didn't have time to get my phone to take a photo sadly. I think you need a car to explore the area but there are lots of places to visit not too far away. If we are in Lincolnshire in the future I would definitely book Primrose Cottage again.

"Lovely stay, very peaceful"
-
"We loved our 4 night break at this cottage with our 2 Cocker Spaniels, we found the cottage clean, comfortable and peaceful, just what we hoped for."
There were nice local walks and just 8 miles from several great beaches to let the dogs run free. We are planning to go back for another relaxing break.
-
"Beautiful cottage."
Everything you need, including Air Fryer! Sofas a little low (arthritic knees!). Mat needed in shower, very slippery dare'nt use. A restful week.
-
"Primrose cottage was a lovely place to stay."
Equipped with all we needed and in a lovely quiet location. We enjoyed the garden and ate at several locations in it, depending on the weather. The trees providing much needed shade for dinner but breakfast on the patio was perfect.

"We enjoyed our stay at Primrose Cottage."
The location was very good. The cottage was clean and well maintained. It was like a home from home. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Thank you.
-
"Very nice cottage, comfortable and well equipped."
Beautiful location, ideally placed for visiting the coast, Lincolnshire Wolds and market towns. We had a very good week and superb weather.
-
"Peaceful, quiet, relaxing, clean, well equipped cottage, everything we needed to make our stay great."
Easy access to local area, friendly and helpfull owner, adequate selection of local eateries to cater for our needs. Only change for us would be 2 reclining armchairs, instead of the 2 settees, but that's just our personal choice. Loved touring and visiting places in the area, especially the Aviation Heritage Museum and seeing the bomber taxying by-- brilliant, made my week. Will stay again, highly Recommended if you want to get away for a more relaxing, quiet, break.

"A spotlessly clean cottage in peaceful surroundings with very friendly and helpful owners."
Great for dogs with dog walk on disused railway on site and sandy beaches within easy reach.Charming rural villages which haven’t suffered from commercialisation to visit. Stuart and Anne
-
"All as described."
Beautiful & quiet
-
"Very clean and comfortable."
Everything provided for a good stay. Dog loved the garden. Welcoming owner on hand for any queries. Would book again.
-
"Lovely cottage with the amenities you need in a very peaceful setting."
Several walks on the doorstep. It is next to a small garden centre (you don’t notice this as private entrance past the centre) . Alford town centre is a good walk or a five minute drive away where there is a co-op and tearooms and a pub, although my husband said the bar at the hotel served very nice real ale. The coast is about 20 minutes away with a big dog friendly beach. Mablethorpe is about the same for a Tesco if you need it.
-
"Always have a wonderful relaxing stay at Primrose Cottage."
Very convenient for dog friendly walks on the beach and surrounding countryside.
-
"Had a really relaxing time in this beautiful and comfortable cottage."
Would highly recommend.
-
"What a superb cottage."
Plenty of room and very homely. We had a very relaxing holiday. Lovely walks with Poppet our dog and the secure garden was a bonus. Lovely touch with the bics and milk for our cuppa when we arrived. Mandy was very friendly and her nursery next door had some very nice plants. Would definately recommend the cottage.
-
"A gem of a cottage situated in a beautiful calm & relaxing peaceful surroundings."
. Plenty of walks from the cottage and in surrounding area. & short ride out to the coast. No light pollution so weather permitting perfect place to view the night skys.. Shops in nearby town of Alford & small Market provided all we required & tea coffee sugar milk & lush biscuits were very welcome when we arrived!! Mandy & staff were very welcoming & friendly. Another successful booking with Sykes!!
-
"A lovely cosy cottage in a good location for both beaches and countryside."
Plenty of walks on the doorstep for walking with or without a dog and a safe secure garden . The cottage was pretty well equipped only a couple of minor issues , eg nowhere to dry wet clothes or beach towels and a mat is definitely needed in the shower as it gets very slippy when wet. Other than that we had a really good holiday at Primrose Cottage
-
"A lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings."
Owners friendly but not intrusive and have a wealth of information. Cottage well equipped, clean and tidy. Well situated for exploring and Alford is a lovely little town. Would definitely book again.
-
"Pleasant cottage ,quiet aspect, friendly people."
Would go again to the area.
-
"Lovely cottage, very spacious."
Fishing lake overgrown with Lilly pads.All in all very good and we will certainly go again.
-
"I struggled with the shower because it wasn't a walk in shower there was quite a step up into it, and if I hadn't taken my own suction handles I wouldn't have been able to have a shower."
And I don't think one hand and 1 bath towel each is enough when there's no washing machine.
-
"Comfortable well appointed accommodation which is ideal for dog owners as the property is bordered by an enclosed lawned garden area which is for the exclusive use of the occupants."
-
"Clean, Quiet, Comfortable, holiday cottage."
Primrose Cottage is a quiet, clean, cosy, warm, comfortable, and well equipped cottage. Good kitchen facilities, with oven. On the edge of the owners Garden Centre. Also with good walks nearby. Small touring caravan on site but quiet and only about 5 caravans. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Situated in a good area for Sight-seeing, Walking, Bird-watching, and Shopping.
-
"Nice cottage in a lovely location with some good walks straight from doorstep, secure garden ideal for dog owners."
The furniture is dated could do with a bigger bed but generally very clean and had an enjoyable stay, we would go back. Ted & Linda ( Yorkshire )
-
"The area around the cottage was well kept the place itself was excellent, hoping to return sometime."
Thank you .Susan Mick and Teddy
-
"Lovely clean warm comfortable cottage."
Excellent enclosed garden for dog. Super quiet location. Lots of walks direct from door. Situated best of both worlds - walks/nature and short drive to long sandy beaches.
-
"What a lovely cottage."
It had everything that you needed. Is so peaceful & quiet. Ideally situated for exploring the area. Very dog friendly with an enclosed garden. Mandy is very helpful with her local knowledge.
-
"This property and the surrounding area was absolutely delightful."
Everything we could have wanted. Had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to return and recommend it to friends and family. The owner and cleaning staff were so helpful and friendly. So close to the sea and beach and was lovely to be able to walk on the beach with our little dog. Hope to go back very soon.

"Warm, cozy, comfortable, friendly, clean, quiet!"
Good local walks.

"Very enjoyable stay with the wife and 2pets the weather wasn’t great but the cottage was warm and cosy it was most relaxing and we enjoyed our Christmas dinner would book again probably in the summer time."
-
"Nice and quiet, warm everything we needed."
Will return again.
-
"The location was great and the place was nice and well presented."
We much appreciated being allowed to use the washing machine - a step beyond. There are two (first world) bits of feedback. 1. The Wi-Fi only works in the bedroom which is not great if you want to stream a movie. 2. We are not tall but the bed is short which we found it uncomfortable.
-
"A very comfortable and well equipped cottage."
The surrounding rural countryside is great for walks. Recommend Willow Cafe in Alford for home cooked dinners and puddings and cakes. We loved Huttoft beach for walking our dog and relaxing. Farmer Brown’s great for cooked breakfasts.
-
"Some of the shrubs on the dog walk could do with being cutback especially the old wild roses and brambles other wise excellant."
-
"Lovely cottage, great dog friendly garden with small seating area."
Lovely to have tea, coffee, sugar and biscuits supplied. Also extras supplied that we didn't expect were tea towels, dishwasher tablet's....very useful! Liquid hand cleaner, washing up liquid and various cleaning item's. Only negative is that there is no shaver point for charging shaver and tooth brushes and a hair dryer would be useful but this did not stop us enjoying the cottage and it's location, nice to have use of tenis court and walks around grounds and surrounding countryside. You need a car as several miles from shop's/beaches. We found Mandy really helpful and very welcoming and was a pleasure to chat to. We would definitely recommend and return to this delightful place.
-
"We had a brilliant time at Primrose Cottage."
The set up for our dog was perfect and we couldnt find any fault , she had a great time. The facilities couldnt have been any better. It is in a lovely peaceful location and only about 2 miles down a country lane to the local shops. The only appliance not at the property was a washing machine but as we were only there for 7 nights it wasnt a problem for us. Thankyou Mandy for making us feel very welcome
-
"This is a beautiful little cottage."
The owners are very friendly and happy to help. We enjoyed our stay here and didn't really want to leave. Hopefully we will soon be back.
-
"Beautiful little property , very clean and well equipped ( a hairdryer would have been good),lovely private enclosed garden is a bonus for dog owners ."
Peaceful site away from it all but lots of places within east reach .Very friendly and helpful owner . Our only negative was the fishing ,which really was impossible due to weeds ( my husband has mobility issues and enjoys a spot of fishing ) perhaps this needs removing from the description, but we had a lovely week , thankyou Mandy
-
"Great property good location clean and tidy and quiet."
Had to contact the owner due to a blocked toilet problem sorted instantly. Would definitely recommend.
-
"Well equipped cottage with good garden space and plenty of room."
Excellent with 2 dogs with a 1.5 mile long dog walk and plenty of green space close to the coast. Our second stay and we will return.
-
"The cottage was very good, clean and comfortable."
It is quite spacious for 2 people. Unfortuneately the WiFi did not work despite being advertised as available and the heating worked when it wanted not at rasonable times however the cottage was not too cold. We did not see the owners during our stay. We would recomend it to anyone thinking of going there.
-
"Very clean and comfortable had everything you could want ."
This was our 2nd stay and we are all ready looking at dates to book again
-
"A lovely cottage with everything you could need set in a lovely and quite unusual setting."
Would definitely recommend.

The cottage was spotless and very comfortable. It's in a lovely location and near to lots of coastal resorts. Grateful for the tea, coffee, milk and biscuits that were left for us too.
-
"The property was lovely, well equipped and very clean."
It was excellent for the dogs with the secure outdoor space. All in all just what we wanted for a relaxing week. Thank you Mandy.
-
"Very clean warm and well equipped for our stay nice and quiet too."
-
"Way too nice Way too perfect Way too nicely layed out Sheep and emu's way too lovely Owner way too friendly, especially her dog who is way too friendly."
Hopefully the above will put people off booking. That should allow me to easily book again and again !!! p.s. Loved it really.
-

A perfect base for touring the Wolds and the coast.
-
"Great experience from the initial search, booking and all communication."
The cottage was absolutely fantastic as described, excellent quite location with everything needed close by, I would highly recommend Primrose Cottage.
-
"Second stay and was as enjoyable as last."
Basically, we wanted peace and quiet to get away from fireworks with dog. This does the job, relaxed and friendly and you are not bothered by anyone. Comfortable and spacious one bedroomed cottage with all you need. Good for getting to beach for walking with dog and nice little town close by for shopping if needed.
-
"Top marks for a lovely place and area especially good for dog walkers, didn't want to leave, so homely."
-
"Very nice ,comfortable,good area ,quite and peaceful , owner very friendly"
-
"Lovely cottage in a quiet location attached to a small family run garden centre."
Whilst small, the living room and bedroom were surprisingly spacious (bed very comfortable). The TV is a smart tv but I took my Amazon box to watch Netflix etc whilst away. A small garden with a patio and grassed area to let the dog out at night before bed, but you could take the dog a walk up the lane to woodland or around the grounds (pond you can walk around) and small caravan site. 20 minutes and you are at a lovely dog friendly beach where we let the pooch run free, other interesting areas nearby if you want but we booked to get away from the dreaded fireworks and it did the job and am going back at New Year. Had a very nice chillin week.
-
"We have stayed in many cottages but this was the best so much so that."
We booked for Christmas after the first 3 hours.
-
"Lovely well equipped cottage in a pleasant area."
The duvet was insubstantial, especially for the winter and there were no facilities for disposal of dog poo. Overall a good experience and would recommend this cottage.
-
"The cottage was immaculate and comfortable, lovely holiday base."
-
"PERFECT..."
Every thing you need very clean and comfy ...made to feel very welcome ...booking again for next year
-
"Very comfortable place to stay for me and my dog."
Fenced garden perfect for him and a peaceful place for me to sit and read in the sun. Lovely grounds to explore and plenty of local country walks. Only five touring caravans allowed on the adjacent camping site and these were not intrusive. 20mins to wide, open beaches for lots of walking and for my dog to play in the sea which was too cold for me other than to paddle! The weather was great and that helped to make this a really enjoyable holiday but, regardless, I will definitely go again to this place
-

Fantastic place very quite and relaxing, nice to let pooch in the garden and not worry as it was secure, enjoyed the whole week
-
"The location was perfect for us as we like to walk early mornings, there were plenty of walks."
The cottage was very well appointed. Peace and quiet was what we needed. We felt rested and relaxed, we shall definitely be returning to this lovely cottage.
-
"The fishing pond is actually a lovely wildlife area with rushes and lots of waterlilies."
The cottage has a hedge and trees near the patio, so we were treated to lots of lovely birdsong, especially in the early mornings and evenings.
-
"Lovely spot in the countryside within easy reach of Wolds, towns and beach."
Super bungalow just right for a comfy holiday. Wildlife area attached to campsite and garden centre.
-

"Yes there are 2 cottages not just 1"
-
"Lovely quiet cottage, really peaceful and no street likes, could even see the stars."
-
"No everything was great."
-
"Nice lady, Mandy, met me on arrival."
Found tea, coffee, milk and shortcake biscuits. Central heating worked fine. Nice small garden to sit in. Cottage set in countryside. Lots of walks. Minus side. Slow and some times no WiFi. Shops a long way to walk if you do not have transport.
-
"Owner Mandy met us and showed us round to Primrose Cottage."
She had put the heating up which was a nice touch. Tea,coffee, milk and shortbread biscuits were very good on arrival. It was so quiet for our stay especially as it was half term. Weather not good enough to enjoy the garden but our dog would have been able to jump over the small wall around the patio. Fence just needs to be extended and then it would be much more secure. Lots of walks from the cottage but a torch is needed for night time. Loved listening to the Owls who raised a family this year.
-
"Enjoyed our week at Primrose Cottage, nicely decorated and very quiet."
One drawback was lack of suitable dishes to use in microwave and oven for cooking. Dogs enjoyed the beaches which were all within easy reach by car.
-
"Ideal holiday cottage."
Perfect with pets as walking opportunities on doorstep. Countryside all around, with owners open space. Near to immenities and very short drive to wonderful beaches, with free parking, toilets and cafes. Wildlife and wide skies
-
"It's impossible to improve facilit it was just perfect Thanks for a wonderful stay"
-
"The cottage looks small in the picture but it's like tardis bigger inside."
Very comfortable nicely positioned had a great time will go again, Mandy normally on hand and very helpful. My sat nav sent me along the lanes and said l had arrived 400 yds before at some cottages and stables. So just down the lane on the right.
-
"A very good cottage with a most helpful owner."
Would be ideal but for the garden from which the dog could escape.
-
"Primrose cottage is comfortable,clean and has all the facilities you need."
The rooms were larger than we expected and area it is in is lovely and peaceful with lots of lovely walks. Mandy ( the owner) is lovely and friendly and helpful getting us a dvd player when we asked. She is all willing to help with an

"What a lovely holiday we had ."
Such a clean, light, and airy cottage it was like going from home to home. We can't find any negatives at all and Mandy was so friendly and helpful. Roll on next year for our next holiday there.
-
"Lovely cottage, perfect for a couple and our dog enjoyed the garden."
Perfectly positioned for the Wolds and coast. Would definitely recommend
-
"We had a really lovely break."
The peace and quiet was amazing, this is the place to come to get away from neighbours noise, traffic and sirens. The garden was secure for the dogs, with lots of walks around. Lots of the pubs were dog friendly, which makes a meal out much easier. The welcome pack of tea, milk and biscuits was great, but the extras like washing up liquid, hand soap and loo rolls were also welcome. The owner, Mandy, was very friendly, taking the time to take my husband to an area to walk the dogs in her van. I really can't praise this cottage enough, book early as it is sure to be popular!
-
"This is a cottage away from all the noise of urban living so if it’s a quiet relaxing holiday you want this is just the job."
-
"Cottage was larger then expected awesome experience very enjoyable the garden centre is a must very good walks for our two dogs would go back again ."
..
-
"Yes. Great facilities and location"

We would recommend it to our friends. Spacious rooms, lovely decor, nice furnishings. Great kitchen.
-
"The place is lovely and the owner very friendly and happy to help with anything, would recommend this cottage to anyone."
It’s ideal for visiting places, dog friendly and enclosed garden. The only thing we struggled with was opening tins of food can openers weren’t very good, but that’s nothing. If you want a relaxing holiday then primrose cottage is great.
-
"Primrose Cottage, is ideally situated in a rural idyll, but equally close to the Lincolnshire coast, to enjoy the best of both worlds."
Clean, comfortable and with a fully enclosed garden, it is ideal for holidaying with dogs. Mandy and Archie go above and beyond as hosts, even offering to help change a tyre, when I suffered a flat on holiday! A lovely, well equipped kitchen, the cottage was always welcoming, warm and cosy.
-
"The accommodation was far better than we expected and Mandy, the owner, was really friendly and helpful."
We'll be back

The owner Mandy gave us a very warm welcome, inside the extra touches like tea coffee milk and luxury biscuits greeted us, lots of walks from the cottage, nearby shops only a short drive away, likewise coastal towns are within reach, the cottage is set in a very quiet area, we had loverly weather and the garden area was very welcomed especially for our dog, cottage was warm cosy and met our needs, we enjoyed our stay

"No small finishing ."
Touches owners relatives in adjoining cottage people coming and going all the time inwhat was listed as a romantic getaway
-
"The location was perfect for us and the dogs, quiet, good walks."
The property was of a high standard my only small comment would be that the main oven could have been cleaner and a Scouser would have been useful, we bought some and left one there. Otherwise it was a lovely holiday
-
"Do not really want to tell people how great the cottage is as i want to keep to myself."
The cottage has everything you need. Far better then pictures show. So close to many places. Brilliant for dog walks and beautiful secluded dog beaches. The cottage is perfect to relax in and Mandy the owner is lovely and close by if you need her. The week went to quick so now have a sulky dog. I have already booked again for next year. If you havent stayed here its a must

"Primrose cottage in Alford was in a lovely rural location."
The cottage was excellent, spacious ,and clean .Overall a very good cottage to be able to chill out in and relax..We stayed for a week , and enjoyed travelling just a few miles to see different places..Also not too far away is Sutton on Sea,with nice sandy beaches and clean seas. We loved our cottage ,in fact we both said if it was for sale we,d buy it....VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 10/10.*****..
-
"Cottage was larger than expected, beautifully decorated and furnished."
Kitchen was large and well equipped. Plenty of space inside and out for 2 large dogs but garden could of been easily made more secure. Plenty of lovely walks in surrounding countryside and a short drive to shops, pubs and the beach. Would defanatly recommend.
-
"Very nice property with purpose built for holiday let’s and with very well thought out facilities and situation, ideal for dogs."
-
"My wife,myself,and Daisy our year old cocapoo had a fantastic time Alford is a dog friendly town,a 20 minute drive to a dog friendly beach at anderby creek,a beautiful cottage we didn’t hesitate to book for 2019."
-
"This was one of the nicest properties we have stayed in."
The owner, Mandy and her staff were friendly and helpful. The location was superb, being rural while at the same time not being very far from the town of Alford from where we were able to explore the surrounding area. We immediately felt at home in the cottage and had all the facilities we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
-
"Brilliant holiday cottage and ideal position for where we wanted to investigate on our holiday."
Mandy and Archie are excellent hosts will be visiting again.

Very comfortable pleasant location nice walk close to Alford perfect for a break would definitely considering boo again
-
"A terrific winter getaway."
Immaculately clean, well-equipped and tastefully decorated. Off-road parking is always a bonus. Alford is a short drive away and there is an excellent Co-op supermarket with free parking. I was looking for somewhere isolated where I could write without distractions and managed a pleasing word count by the end of the week. The owners were most helpful and Mandy suggested I needn't rush to checkout as harsh weather had been predicted. A kind touch. Thoroughly recommended. It must be even more delightful in summer. Large French windows lead out onto a charming patio. I would certainly consider coming again.
-
"The cottage was comfortable and well equipped."
Even small touches like tea, coffee and milk on arrival.
-
"Brilliant cottage, lovely area."
-
"Lovely cottage no problems."
Comfortable and well stocked.
-
"Peaceful and quiet."
Perfect if you don't mind driving into Alford for newspaper etc. The photos on the website do not do the cottage justice. The interior and exterior are more spacious than shown.
