  • "Little Owl is beautifully situated and is gloriously peaceful."

    The barn itself has been most attractively converted. Just one tiny niggle - the kitchen equipment lacked a few essentials. Straining rice and lentils in a colander is not ideal, and a casserole dish with lid and at least one large serving spoon would have helped as well. But as I say, a tiny niggle, and we loved our stay.

    The barn conversion is beautiful, the location is very peaceful, amazing view of the sunsets & we got to see a great range of local wildlife too (Little Owls, heard other owls too, bats, hares, rabbits, foxes, pheasants, kestrel & partridges)! We really enjoyed having the space (including the lovely bathrooms) & we found it very comfortable. We didn't use the fire (we were lucky enough to have great weather so it was a little too warm to have one), but we can imagine it'd only enhance the cosy feeling even more.

  • "We had a really lovely week away."

    We loved being out in the middle of nowhere but it was still easy accessible to get to places. The barn is well equipped, the owners live next door and are very helpful if you need anything or want to ask questions. We loved the open space in the kitchen/dining/lounge area. The bed was comfy, the pillows were fine, but I always take my own anyway as I particularly like it. It was plenty warm enough as it really warms up with the sun, so we turned the heating off, but there is a wood burner if it’s cold. The sliding door is quite noisy into the shower room if someone goes at night, but as there was only two of us we used the toilet in the other shower room in the night! We loved seeing the owls and hares. Our car is electric and Nigel really helpfully said there was an outside plug and we could use it to charge, so that was amazing. We did a lot of walking and cycling. Theres so much to see and do in Lincoln, it’s a beautiful city. We explored quite a lot of the local area in the week we were there. There’s good cycle paths from Mablethorpe along the coast, with some stretches on quite quiet country lanes, we went right out to Gibraltar Point which is a nature reserve, we’d liked to have been able to spend more time there. We also cycled along the cycle path from Lincoln to Woodhall Spa and back, it would be a great track to do with younger children as it’s not on roads. You can just go as far as you want. If you start at Woodhall Spa there’s a few pubs that you meet sooner than from Lincoln. A great week and well worth staying in Little Owl!

    I did lift a cushion from the seat of the sofa to try to pump it up and was greeted with so much food debris from previous visitors it was just so disgusting. It was so disappointing, but something that should be checked and cleaned after each group of visitors have left. If you go there and enjoy a cup of tea do take a teapot as there wasn’t one. Sorry for the poor feedback but it’s not something I expect to find in a Sykes recommended cottage.

    We are extremely sorry that your stay at Little Owl did not meet your expectations. We are saddened that you did not feel you could alert us to these issues during your stay or when you left your kind words in our guest book. Please accept our apologies for these oversights and be assured that the crumbs beneath the sofa pads were hoovered up immediately and a teapot now resides in the kitchen. Property Owner

  • "We stayed at Little Owl in Sept 2019."

    The property was easy to find and in the middle of the beautiful flat landscape of Lincolnshire and 5 mins from Market Rasen. The property is wonderful, larger than it looked on the photos and spotlessly clean. The hallway has a section with coat hooks and a bench for changing footwear easily and plenty room for lots of shoes/boots. This leads to the main living area which is huge, plenty room for the open-plan living. The kitchen is well equipped with lots of little extras, including a very thoughtful Welcome Basket with bread, biscuits, tea, coffee, sugar etc. There is a huge fridge/freezer, dishwasher and easy to use oven/hob. There isn't a washing machine but there is a note to say that if you needed to do some washing then you may use their machine. As the photos show, each room has floor to ceiling windows which give amazing views of the surrounding fields and sky. The stars at night are a sight to be seen! The sitting area is comfortable and there is a TV and DVD player with a selection of DVDs to choose from, plus a box of games/toys for children. The Wi-Fi is useful but we often struggled to use our mobiles for calls unless we went outside. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds, cosy clean bedding and additional fleecy blankets if you are feeling chilly - although it was more than warm enough for us. Each bedroom has a walk-in toilet/shower wet room - very clean, warm and an abundance of fluffy towels. The grounds are very well kept and we had total privacy throughout our stay. One of the owners Nigel welcomed us on our arrival and, although their home is just a minutes walk away, they didn't bother us throughout our stay but we knew we could ask them for anything we needed. The surrounding area is very flat and great for cycling. We visited a lot of the local areas and used Market Rasen for shopping (large Tesco). This is a wonderful property and quiet location. We would highly recommend this to family and friends as a peaceful retreat and great place to stay for exploring Lincolnshire.

The double bedroom has blackout lining on the curtains and the twin bedroom has dark curtains and a blind, something I always hope for when staying in a cottage, the whole family slept well. The bathrooms are both beautiful and very clean. Outside there is a BBQ, seated area and private gravel garden. The property is very private, it is on a seperate drive from the owners property though close enough should you need to contact them.

Inside the barn did not disappoint, beautifully decorated to a rustic but contemporary style, comfy sofas and the beds are very comfortable too. It was lovely to have two bathrooms, my children loved having their own bathroom. Facilities are a home away from home and we were welcomed with a lovely basket of treats.

    Little Owl is a spacious property which has been well thought out and furnished to a high standard. A couple of suggestions to make things even better …….. a serving spoon with holes would be a useful addition to the kitchen utensils (nothing to remove peas etc from pans). …….. upgrade the pillows and duvets to feather rather than hollow fibre (more 'breathable' and comfortable - less 'sticky'). Had visits from hares, pheasants, quail and heard the little owls in the trees nearby. Driving is a doddle on the roads nearby - very little traffic about and roads in good condition. Easy driving ….. but satnav very handy for all the B roads as they are not too well signposted. Would be very happy to visit Little Owl again.
