    Such a beautiful cottage in a lovely location. We travelled from the USA and Barn End provided the rural peace and quiet we needed after a whistle-stop tour of the UK. There are 2 gorgeous bathrooms with luxury bath products provided. The kitchen has everything you need and is so well designed. The beds and sitting room are so comfortable. Top notch cottage

    Had everything we needed, lots within 10/15 minutes drive, was great to go back to a peaceful cottage after a busy day. Loved waking up to the birds singing in the morning, and heard owls at night too. There were a couple of nights I stayed alone with my young daughter and we both felt very safe.

    Hi Roseanna, sorry for taking so long to respond to your kind review. It was lovely to hear you describe staying here as feeling safe as its definitely something we hope for, that our guests feel warm, comfortable and safe, so thank you.

    The wood burner is a great source of heat,especially in a very frosty January.

I would recommend Barn Cottage most highly,you will not be disappointed.

    Stayed for a few nights on my own and felt perfectly safe and comfortable. Great location, so quiet and peaceful even during harvest time, yet just 15 mins to Lincoln (and nearby other things like Newark/antiques fair). Easy to drive country roads and lovely to walk from the cottage down to the river. Cottage itself was comfortable, as was the bed, and the cottage had everything I needed. Will definitely be back.

    Well located to enjoy the countryside and also be close to Lincoln. There are walks down the lane and in the fields down to the river and elsewhere to enjoy Lincoln Countryside and 'fly pasts' by the Red Arrows who are local to here give another level to the enjoyment. A peaceful and cosy space to escape to.

    Its always so lovely when guests decide to return to us and take the time to share their experience. So pleased you enjoyed the Red Arrows too, they can sometimes be a bit noisy so not to everyones taste, but we enjoy seeing them and glad you did too.

    What a beautiful place Barn End is, it accommodated myself, partner and both of our younger children (4 & 1) who were both excited throughout our stay. Stove lit upon arrival which gave it a cozy feel, generous supply of logs for the burner and more if needed. It really is a special place with plenty of room, it was alot bigger then expected. Easy to get around and they've really thought of everything. It has EVERYTHING you could possibly need. With only a very short 14 minute drive to the city centre your closer than you think. Host was absolutely lovely and made my children very welcome and even put on some Christmas lights which they wouldn't stop watching. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and I'm currently looking at booking our next stay.

  • "We were surprised that there was no wardrobe to hang our clothes in."

    Contrary to the information given, we were not met by our host and neither did thy make any attempt to contact us during our stay. The photo on your web site showing the table and chairs by the river gave the misleading impression that this was local to the cottage. You would need to carry these items down the lane, across a large field, through a wood and over a steep bank to get to the river. It was suggested that the area would be good for cycling, which was true, but there is nowhere to store a bike safely. I had to keep my bike in the kitchen.

    Thank you for providing your feedback. I was so sorry to hear that you were unhappy with certain aspects of your stay here at Barn End. You mentioned that no attempt was made by the host to contact you; however, we did speak with you on at least three occasions during your stay, including to help guide you on where to securely lock your bikes and manage the internet, but apologise if somehow we caused confusion. We have since updated the listing to make the information regarding the 10-minute walk to the riverbank be moved to a more obvious position (as currently this information sits in the summary section).
