  • "Lizzie’s Cottage is a wonderful mix of traditional and contemporary, it is beautifully decorated, and has everything one could possibly need."

    Sharon was most welcoming and friendly, the biscuits , plum cake, fresh milk and flowers were much appreciated, thank you. The log burning stove keeps the cottage warm, the beds very comfortable and the kitchen a delight to cook in. A large garden has views over farmland. The cottage is in a quiet village, it is peaceful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there, I hope to return.

  • "Absolutely lovely cottage exactly as described."

    We had a wonderful week's stay here (we are visiting from Australia) and the cottage has everything (including atmosphere and Christmas decorations and lights) that anyone could wish for. The rooms are not big but they were more than comfortable for my husband and I.

    Warm welcome from Sharon the owner, flowers, plum bread (which was delicious) & milk on arrival. I cannot recommend Lizzies Cottage enough, ideal base for visiting places & also a fantastic place for just sitting & relaxing. There is nothing Sharon hasn't thought of.

  • "The best cottage we have ever stayed in."

    Sharon has thought and provided everything you would ever possibly require. Instructions for use of cooker, tv etc are all clearly typed up and displayed. We breakfasted in the colourful tranquil rear garden . Lizzies's cottage is situated in a little Hamlet and is so tranquil we were tempted to just stay there without exploring Licolnshire! We will be back Sharon as it was more than a home from home. Thank you for the welcome pack of milk, plum bread and lovely flowers. We hope we left it as clean and tidy as we were lucky enough to find it

    It was left beautifully, thank you. So pleased you had a great week, and the weather improved, having had such a rainy journey down. Thank you for your very kind words! Property Owner

  • "A spotless property that whilst is not large it makes up for it in style and comfort."

    The location is so quiet you can hear a deer walk past the living room in the evening. The kitchen has everything you may need and the wing back chairs will lull you into an evening snooze in front of the log burner. The beds are very comfortable with adequate room upstairs. The garden is a sun trap and extends a surprising distance. Thoroughly recommended for a peaceful and quiet break away from it all.

    I arrived to find fresh flowers, a Lincolnshire Plum Loaf, the heating on and log fire ready to light. The kitchen could not have been better equipped - there was even a slow cooker. Fulletby is within easy striking distance of Gunby Hall with its walled gardens and orchards (National Trust), old market towns such as Louth and Alford, coastal nature reserves such as Gibraltar Point and Donna Nook, and oodles of walks in The Wolds where every hamlet/village has a little church and often a pub. The Viking Way runs past the cottage so you can forget the car for a day and explore some neighbouring villages on foot.

    Sharon the owner met us with a very welcoming greeting. The cottage was immaculate and Sharon had lit the woodburner as it was a bit chilly being April. Everything was provided. It was homely and cosy and a perfect size. We visited many places that Sharon had recommended and also there was so much information left in the cottage about local attractions. It was nice to come back to the cottage after a day touring the Lincolnshire Wolds and it really felt like home. In short it is the best equipped holiday cottage we have stayed in. The garden is perfect and features flowerbeds and a large lawned area with seating and a bistro set to dine outside. The utility room was well equipped with washing facilities. Each room in the cottage was warm with underfloor heating. The photo restoration book was fascinating. The church in the village was opposite the cottage and open too A short walk away offers fantastic walks and views across the Wolds for miles. We will return to Lizzies Cottage, We would like to thank Sharon for a perfect break in a beautifly presented cottage, in fact we were sad to leave it and we could easily live there given the opportunity!!! . Cannot be faulted and highly recommended.

  • "We chose this because of the name (same as my wife's’), but little did we know that we would find such a perfect hideaway."

    The fixtures and fittings are to a very high standard and everything has been thought of. Inside, the cottage feels much bigger than its outside dimensions would lead you to expect. Additionally there is an outside wash house (where we kept our bikes) and a lovely private garden. The owners are very helpful and anxious to ensure that any problems that might be encountered are put right immediately. They are just a phone call away. There is lots to do in the area and a number of excellent local pubs for evening meals if you tire of self-catering. Lizzie’s Cottage is situated in the Lincolnshire Wolds, rolling hills cut from the underlying limestone, chalk and sandstone. It is agriculturally rich. The coastline provides miles of beach with good swimming, highly suited to families, as well as some of the finest wetlands in Britain which attract migrant birds which can be observed in places such as Gibralter Point. The only problem will be finding a space in the calendar because once the word gets out guests will flock to this great cottage. One word sums up Lizzie’s Cottage - Excellent.
