“A wonderful, cosy, and very comfortable cottage in a lovely quiet location.”

The rooms are all a good size with comfortable furniture - especially the bed and sofas. It was nice to have a proper wardrobe rather than the rail or hook on the wall you often find these days. As we didn’t want to eat out too much at the moment it was good to find everything I needed to be able to cook a meal. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. Definitely a place to re-visit.

“The cottage was extremely spacious and very comfortable with lots of homely touches.”

The owners were extremely helpful but did not intrude in any way. It was lovely to find the table laid for a cup of tea and a very thoughtful and tasty cake on our arrival. The area was very picturesque and the people in the village very friendly and full of local knowledge. Can't recommend this cottage more highly.

“The accommodation was spacious clean and comfortable but unfortunately looked to have been furnished from a charity shop and it smelt very strongly of damp so much so in the built-in wardrobe that we lived out of the suitcase all week.”

We did not see the owner all week no one asked if we were OK or it seems cared. The weather was beautiful and the position of the stables in a small village but all together the worst place we've been to with Sykes

“The Stables is a lovely cosy and comfortable cottage.”

We felt at home from the moment we arrived. Friendly hosts, fresh homemade cake on the table, milk in the fridge, perfect for a relaxing snack after our journey. Supermarkets are just a 10 minute drive away. We absolutely loved our stay here.

“Everything about this cottage is first class”

We are going to have our last night here tonight. It's been such a good holiday, lots of thing to do beach, wold's, shopping, peace and quiet and good places to eat near by. This is also a great area of fishing, there is a lovely fisheries just down the road. The stables is very well presented and has everything you need. The bed is very comfortable and the show is a good size and has good water pressure. The owner is very friendly but not intrusive.

“Brilliant Holiday Bungalow”

This is one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in to date. Warm, comfortable, and well equipped. The owners are friendly and helpful and left us tea, milk, and a home cooked cake on arrival. The bungalow is in a quiet, peaceful area, but a good area for touring Lincolnshire and the coast. Good base for visiting Donna Nook in November and December to see the new Seal Pups on the beach, a good sight to see.

“Idyllic”

The seclusion of the cottage made it an ideal location for a peaceful holiday. Everything that we required was there and the high standard of the decor: furniture: and design layout was wonderful. I have searched for other cottages, in different locations, with no success. We have been spoiled by 'The Stables' and no other accommodation comes up to the high bench mark they have set.

“Home to Home”

Cottage was perfect for our needs. Everthing we needed was available. The setting was ideal in a very pleasant garden. Easy access to the Wolds. Local towns such as Louth was most interesting, especially on market day. The owners were most helpful.
