“When I booked the cottage I wasn't sure what to expect but after reading the reviews I booked the cottage and am so pleased I did as I can't rate this fantastic cottage highly enough.”

So peaceful, felt so so welcome and cared for by the hosts. We had a meal at the Railway tavern which was really good.

“A tranquil location perfect for a relaxing break.”

The proximity of the Tavern provided excellant hospitality, very good food quality and choice and a convenient option to cooking for yourself. A good base for visiting the surrounding area, with easy access to both beach and country.

“Lovely cottage in a lovely setting.”

Spotless and well maintained by the owners. Very comfortable which was good as the weather didn't match up to the cottage so we spent more time inside than is usual. The facilities in the cottage allowed us to keep ourselves amused. Enjoyed watching rabbits and birdlife in the area wrapping around the cottage. Parking good as the cottage was adjacent to the pub car park. The pub, literally next door, provided an excellent varied menu at a very reasonable cost. Service was unhurried but efficient and always with a friendly face. The owners were always welcoming and the atmosphere and ambience of the pub friendly. When we arrived the we were shown around the cottage and the owners went to great lengths to welcome us including a lovely breakfast pack in the fridge. All in all a lovely trip. Thank you Railway Tavern!

Everything else was one of the best cottages we have stayed in, everything you needed for a lovely holiday. The owners were above and beyond for looking after us, we would definitely recommend a holiday here. Thank you.

“This cottage is set in a great location from which to explore Lincolnshire.”

The cottage itself is one of the best we have stayed in being very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The owners made us very welcome and we were also very impressed with the quality of food available in their nearby pub. We had a great holiday and highly recommend Holly cottage

Mr Hynd November 2018

“Excellent cottage in a lovely rural location.”

It was very clean and comfortable and we received a lovely breakfast pack upon our arrival. We used the cottage as a base to visit family and it was a joy to come "home" after a nice day out. We were more than happy with the cottage and the owners were very friendly and helpful. The owners run a lovely country pub in the same grounds as the cottage so we did not have to walk far to have a drink or a meal. 30 seconds is about right. Many thanks Chris and Alex . Llandudno.

Mrs Dunne August 2018

“We received a lovely warm welcome.”

The cottage is beautifully presented; very clean, everything well laid out and having everything we needed ( although a hairdryer would have been welcome- but this is such a minor point). We enjoyed revising the area, despite the weather and can recommend Alford and Louth in particular.

About the location

ALFORD

Mablethorpe 8 miles; Skegness 11 miles; Louth 14 miles; Horncastle 15 miles.

Alford is a charming market town in Lincolnshire. It is set at the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is about 11 miles north-west of the coastal resort of Skegness. There is a wide range of shops including a pharmacy, grocers and two butchers as well as a large shop which specialises in doll’s houses and their contents. Alford has become an important centre for arts and crafts with many markets held throughout the year. The main market is held in the Market Place every Tuesday and Friday with the craft market being held every August Bank Holiday as well as Christmas markets being held every year. Alford is known for its Grade 1 listed working windmill, which is used commercially to produce stone-ground organic flour. Alford Manor House is a central point in the town, with its exhibitions and museum as well as a tea room and open gardens. With Alford being set in the Lincolnshire Wolds, there are plenty of walking and cycling routes to follow or even take a trip to the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway or Claythorpe Watermill and Wildfowl Gardens, where you will find plenty of birds and animals, with plenty of space to sit and relax with great views of the old mill. Within 30 mins, you will find the seaside resorts of Skegness and Mablethorpe, with great beaches, making a great playground for children and adults alike. For something different, why not visit the towns of Louth or Horncastle, which both have a good range of shops and pubs as well as regular street and farmers markets? Whatever you decide to do, you will not be short of choice for your holiday in this lovely area of Lincolnshire.
