“I read feedback from people who had ...”

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.

“This is one of the best holiday ...”

This is one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in so far. Cottage was clean, comfortable, warm, and well equipped. The Owners were friendly and helpful throughout our holiday and there was tea, milk, and a home cooked cake on arrival. The area is good for peace and quiet and a good base for touring from. Would recommend this cottage very highly.

“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.

“Good locationfor all local ...”

Good locationfor all local ameinties , main town Louth very good small shops. Very close to the Lincolnshire wolds worth exsploring Need some more promoting locally

- Mr Taylor, September 2016
“Unfortunately the property is ...”

Unfortunately the property is described as pet friendly, in my opinion a more accurate description would be "pets allowed", this is because there is no enclosed garden (to be fair is does not say enclosed garden in the description), so even if we wanted to take advantage of the excellent patio areas we had to keep the dog out with us, therefore if the dog gets hot all of us had to go indoors.

“We liked the peaceful location, the ...”

We liked the peaceful location, the countryside and being able to listen to the birds singing. The location was easy to find as was the location of the door key. In all a very nice relaxing holiday, as after a trip out we were able to relax and read a book on returning to the wonderful garden. Our Springer Spaniel enjoyed her early morning walks around the block and what a pleasure to be able to walk around the village without the constant noise of traffic. We have bookmarked the Stables for a possible return in the future.

- Mr Penman, April 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.

“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.
