  • "An excellent property, modern, very well presented and provided everything needed for a stay."

    Up to date technology is available plus a well equipped patio garden. An information booklet giving details of suggested places to visit/eat plus local footpaths was provided. The property is part of a farm site where other buildings have been renovated some into offices. The property is side on to the road and we would have awarded it 5 stars but there was a level of traffic noise at certain times which affected our sleep.

  • "The Forge was the most comfortable and luxurious cottage we have stayed in - fitting for our 30th wedding anniversary celebrations."

    Everything we needed was there, and the welcome goodies were gratefully enjoyed. Lots of places to walk and enjoy the countryside and coastline, and a trip into Lincoln is recommended. Save some energy for the walk up Steep Hill!

    Very well equipped. The back garden is very private and a sun trap, even with autumnal weather. The owners accommodated an earlier check-in which was much appreciated.

Hotel chocolate hot chocolate machine with hot chocolate sachets left as a gift along with other wonderful goodies. So well equipped too you need not take anything with you.

  • "This cottage was amazing."

    Very quiet, well equipped with everything you need, (if a little space age for me). Cleethorpes is a short and fairly easy drive away and the local Chinese takeaway deliver to the door. Couldn’t fault it.

    I wouldn't call it home from home because it was more luxurious than our house! The Dyson Fan was particularly appreciated in the hot weather , as was the lovely outside space and bbq.

    The view from the large patio windows is particularly nice and rural. We highly recommend the property which is in a peaceful area with easy access to excellent roads across Lincolnshire. It was a pleasure meeting the owners.

  • "We had a lovely time at this fantastic holiday property which provided a great base for exploring Lincolnshire."

    The accommodation is beautifully decorated, exceptionally comfortable and the owners have thought of every detail so you have a luxurious stay with lovely soft fluffy towels, luxury bath products and excellent appliances including a large Smart TV and Dyson hair dryer. There was also a fab welcome pack including biscuits, hot chocolate and Prosecco. We enjoyed days out to the coast which is within easy reach (only 20 minutes to Cleethorpes) and the Lincolnshire wolds with it’s rolling countryside, pretty villages and Georgian market towns. We also ventured to Beverley in Yorkshire and the Humber Bridge, both well worth a visit. After our days out it was a real treat to return to the comforts of the lovely accommodation. Many thanks to the owners for a great stay.

  • "We had an absolutely lovely week at The Forge in August."

    The cottage is very high spec'd with lots of lovely little touches - coffee machine, bluetooth speaker, posh hairdryer. The lounge is a really nice space to relax with lovely squishy sofas, looking out onto a really pretty courtyard garden with garden furniture (which we would have used if only the weather had been kinder!) and fields beyond. The beds are very comfortable and there are excellent showers and an enormous bathtub. The cottage is set on the edge of a very quiet village and there is plenty of parking. All in all, we would highly recommend it.

    This is Definitely a 5 star property which was a relief as I feel Sykes sometimes are not very accurate on their star ratings , meaning they overate some properties but in this case was spot on, the owners have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible

  • "The Forge is a great place to stay."

    It is a converted barn and has been finished to an exceptional standard. The furnishing and fixtures and fittings are top quality. It is very comfortable and clean. The rear garden/patio is large and equally well equipped. Unfortunately the two pubs in Laceby have closed down, so a car or bike is advisable. The owners live on the site and were very helpful and friendly. Recommended.
