- Mrs Bailey, November 2019
“Lovely warm welcome by owners with delicious homemade cake”

- Mrs Hickman, November 2019
“This was one of the best holiday cottages that we have ever stayed in and we cannot think of any real negativeaspect on any way in which it could be improved.”

the onlyslight niggle was the slowness of broadband but that was to be expected in a rural area. The owners were pleasant and did not bother us throughout our stay. We woudcertainly return and we are not surprised that a lot of people want to book it.

- Mr Allen, September 2019
“It was really nice and comfortable.”

Sweet village with nice walks for the dog. The owners were very helpful and friendly.

- Mrs Lafferty, July 2019
“We arrived to a welcome of much needed homemade cakes.”

The cottage is just home from home and in an ideal location to visit the surrounding areas. Stunning gardens with plenty places to sit and relax . Highly recommend .

- Mrs Longley, July 2019
“Very friendly couple who couldn’t do enough to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible.”

Interesting area to explore, especially in such sunny weather. Plenty of room to park the car and a canal nearby to walk the dog. We definitely recommend a visit to the nearby town of Louth, (Saturday market) which sports plenty of interesting shops and the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had (think half a cup of molten dark chocolate with a jug of hot frothy creamy milk) sheer heaven! A small cafe but worth a visit.

- Mrs Hopkins, April 2019
“What a lovely, homely holiday cottage.”

It has everything that you need to enjoy your mini break, from cooking utensils to towels in the bathroom. The couple who own it are lovely and don't intrude at all. A piece of cake and tea making stuff for you when you arrive. The bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. A nice place to take your dogs for a walk by the 2 churches and by the canal. Cleethorpes and mablethorpe only 14 miles away. Fantastic place that we would highly recommend.

- Mr Goode, March 2019

- Mr King, February 2019
“The Stables was exceptional.”

The decor and furnishings were up to a high standard. Good part of the country to explore. Our labradoodle Molly enjoyed the long walks.

- Ms Thompson, January 2019
“The Stables is a first class dog friendly accommodation.”

We enjoyed every minute and would certainly go again. The owners said they would shut the gate entrance so our dog could run around safely .The owners are there if you need any help otherwise leave you to enjoy your stay. We had some cake and tea left for us on arrival which we enjoyed after our long journey. We would recommend the Stables to anyone.

- Mr Asserati, January 2019
“'the stables' was lovely and an absolute gem of a place.”

I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from the drags of today's society. It's out in the countryside and so peaceful. The bed is so comfortable which made the holiday very relaxing. We will definitely be going again with our doggy.

- Mr Smart, January 2019
“We felt at home from the first day.”

Chris , the owner, welcomed us on arrival. A good base for exploring the beautiful county of Lincolnshire. The cottage its self was superb.

- Mrs King, July 2018
“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.

- Elaine K, July 2018

- Mrs Fairall, March 2018
“Lovely comfy and warm cottage.”

Owner is very nice. Good WiFi.

- Mrs Gaskell, February 2018
“I read feedback from people who had been to the stables and was really looking forward to our stay I don't know if it was a different stables these people were talking about, I rang to ask about key collection the lady I spoke to was so abrupt I was about to say look forward to seeing you on Saturday but I spoke to no one as she just hung up the phone, first impressions when I arrived gorgeous closer inspection when I went to put my food in the fridge/freezer it was filthy there was mould in the freezer, the shower base I had to go and buy some cleaning liquid to clean it before I used it and the frame around the sliding g door it was grimey.”

I did see the fella that lived in the house a few times one day as I was going in I sauntered a little just to say hello but he stayed in his car until I had gone in and lastly it is not pet friendly my little dogs hated the gravel and not being enclosed (you went straight out of the square right onto the road so dogs needed to be kept on a lead at all times I will not be returning there again.

- Mrs Mcgraw, December 2017
“Wi Fi connection was non existant for the period of our stay.”

Not a problem as long as you have no computer related work to do.

- Mrs Loughlin, November 2017
“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.

- P E, November 2016
“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.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, August 2014
“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.

- J. Till, July 2013
