• "The hospitality was second to none."

  A brilliant welcome with great facilities. Nothing was too much trouble for Trudy. The facilities were the best. It was extremely clean, comfortable and well situated. I cannot recommend this more highly. Peaceful and beautiful surroundings.

• "Dairy cottage is a delightful property."

  It is beautifully equipped especially for those with mobility issues. The location is tranquil and peaceful with a lovely decking area to enjoy the outside view and wildlife. The owners were very helpful and provided a lovely welcome pack. We look forward to a return visit.

• "The cottage was lovely, one of the best we have been to."

  Everything we needed was provided and Trudy was available if we needed her. We were supplied with a bottle of wine, milk, locally made biscuits, lovely hot chocolate and a delicious (dairy free!) loaf of plumb bread. There was plenty of tourist information

  Nothing is ever too much trouble for Trudy to make sure your stay is as comfortable and relaxing as possible. Will be back there again later in the year.

• "What a lovely place, everything you could wish for to make your stay as comfy as possible."

  Nothing was too much trouble for Trudy a perfect host. I mentioned there seemed to be a bit of a problem with the ironing board and a couple of hours later there was a brand new one in situ. We only planned to stay for one week but loved it so much we stayed for three and would have stayed longer if it had been available. I have no hesitation in recommending Dairy Cottage only wish we had discovered it earlier.

• "My wife and I have stayed in many of Sykes Cottages over the years and we can honestly say that this was by far the best!"

  Our host Trudy could not have been more friendly and helpful. Every kind of disablement could be catered for, the property was warm and scrupulously clean throughout. During our stay in November it snowed and the heat was put on all day for us and a pathway cleared to our car. This property is to be highly recommended to anyone.

• "Dairy Cottage is fabulous!"

  Trudy has thought of absolutely everything required for a comfortable stay. The provisions in place for disabled guests ensured a stress-free environment. Nothing was overlooked. On arrival, Trudy called in to make sure that we had everything we needed. She provided a welcome pack for our arrival- fresh milk, local treats of cake and biscuits, and of course tea, coffee, sugar etc. So impressed are we, that on our second day, we immediately booked a return visit for next year. There are places of interest fairly close by, and places to eat, that we have identified as being wheelchair accessible . We can highly recommend Dairy Cottage.

  The reason why we continue to return is that unlike many places that are recommended as being suitable for people with mobility problems, this one actually is perfect. The owners have done everything possible to make this cottage ideal for a disabled person. A big ‘thank you’ once again to Trudy and Bill. We also very much appreciated the goodies which were there for us on our arrival.

  Trudy met us on arrival (despite being late due to traffic) and showed us around. There was a lovely welcome pack too which was appreciated.

  Unlike many holiday homes which are listed as being suitable for disabled people, this one actually is perfect. That is why we keep returning. The owner has done everything to make this cottage user friendly for disabled people. There is even a long handled shoe horn, as well as the more usual shower chair and grab rails in place. We have booked again for August, as it is perfect for us.

• "Dairy Cottage was, without doubt, the best holiday let we have ever stayed in."

  Trudy and Bill, the owners are such lovely people. They go the extra mile with a range of treats left for guests, both edible goodies and beautiful toiletries, loads of huge white fluffy towels, an amazing accessible wet room, every necessary facility for a disabled person’s comfort. There’s a well organised kitchen, full instructions for every piece of electronic equipment, and everything is spotlessly clean. The beds are sumptuous - we’ve never slept so well on holiday. The peace and solitude of the barn conversion were amazing. Our only regret was that we hadn’t booked 2 weeks! We will definitely return!

  Trudy and Bill had thought of all things that could make our stay more comfortable with a member of our party with mobility problems. The property was as described, it was comfortable, cosy and welcoming. We did not have need to contact the owners but we did see Trudy a few times and she was lovely and friendly and would answer any questions or stop for a chat if we wanted which was nice. We would not hesitate in returning as we had a lovely relaxing break. For those interested in remaining connected Wifi is included and it is true that mobile reception is patchy.

  Trudy and Bill, the owners, have thought of everything and even have additional equipment if it is needed. So many places which are advertised as suitable for disabled people are not at all appropriate. But be assured ‘Dairy Cottage’, nestled in the Nottinghamshire countryside, ticks all the boxes. It is warm, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We very much appreciated the welcome tray Trudy left for us. This was our fourth stay here and once again, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We visited the Blue dIamond Garden Centre, explored nearby Newark and had breakfast at the Kingfisher Lodge and Hardy’s, all of which are close by. It was so nice to relax and chill out in a place which is suited to my husband’s needs. A big ‘thank you’ to our hosts. We have already booked for our fifth visit.

  The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything you would want for your stay and more. The welcome pack was lovely (I won't list the items because I'll spoil your surprise. One thing to note is that you're in a beautiful peaceful cottage in the countryside so the internet and phone signal can be a bit hit and miss. It may well be worth downloading stuff to watch before you go. Trudie is looking into changing provider to improve the internet. Our mobile phone worked ok outside the cottage. I would certainly go back and recommend to my friends and family.

  From the moment I had booked and spoke to Trudie I felt we were going to have a fab time, which indeed we did. Trudie greeted us with a big smile and an even bigger umbrella as it was tipping it down, she and her husband helped us in with all of our luggage and then started to show us around this very clean warm barn conversion. .Very comfortable beds, lots of fluffy towels for the huge wet room, all you need in the kitchen to make a very good evening meal, dishwasher, washing machine, easy to use cooker, there are 2 heated rails to dry your washing as well as an airer. Nice little patio area to sit in the sunshine. Slight downside I missed lots of calls on my mobile as no signal indoors, so I just stepped outside and called back. Lovely days out to Lincoln castle, Wallington Hall and Industrial Museum (only open weekends) in Nottingham, JJ Lamas delightful, Boat ride on The Trent from Newark, retail therapy at Downtown, International Bomber Command. Near by restaurants The Thatch Botterford, and Pauls also in Bottersford, lunch or dinner at The Bromley at Fiskerton, and Siam Garden in Grantham. If we wanted to be in the area again would have ho hesitation in booking again, Trudie you really do go that extra mile to make sure that your guests have the best holiday experience possible

  So why would we book it again? We booked it again because it is ideal for my husband who has severe mobility problems. Dairy Cottage is extremely well equipped for a disabled person and Trudy, the owner checked to see if there was anything more she could add to the cottage to improve it for a person with mobility problems. We could not think of anything she could add, to make it better! We enjoyed a week of perfect weather and enjoyed sitting out on the rear terrace enjoying the sunshine. There are some lovely walks in the area, which I was able to do whilst my husband had a snooze. We enjoyed some delicious breakfasts at nearby venues and coffees and cake at various cafes. This was a very relaxing holiday for us. The cottage is spotlessly clean, and extremely well equipped. We very much appreciated the goodies which were left in the cottage for us to enjoy. Now we have found Dairy Cottage, we will definitely be back. We would wholeheartedly recommend it and wish to thank Trudy and her husband for making our stay such a happy one.

  Just fabulous. Immaculately presented, spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, very good shower and well equipped. Lovely hosts too, so you really can't ask for much more than that. Location wise, not bad either, with Lincoln, Nottingham and Grantham only a short drive away. Local shop in Long Bennington well stocked and only a short journey away. We were there for a few days to tour around a bit and meet with family who live local(ish) and as a base, suited our needs perfectly. We'll definitely go back again next time we're staying in the area.
