    Everything provided for a comfortable week. The garden was equally as good.A lovely quiet, peaceful place to sit in the evening with a small 'refreshment' watching the sunset. Geoff and Marian were superb hosts. Always around if needed but unobtrusive. Highly recommended.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Garden Cottage."

    It is a very cosy and comfortable cottage in a beautiful garden setting. Our hosts were extremely helpful and accommodating. They supplied us with copious amounts of firewood for the wood burner and assisted us with all the usual things like waste bins and the use of the automatic gate on the driveway. Although we stayed in January when the weather was rather inclement, it was a very relaxing holiday and there was plenty to see and do in this part of Lincolnshire. We will definitely consider coming again.

  • "Lovely setting in a large garden."

    Very comfortable accommodation with all appliances needed for a weeks stay. Jeff and Marian were very helpful without being intrusive. Our only concern was in the wet room, as I have slightly limited mobility I would have liked a couple of hand holds in the shower although the floor was non slip, I would have felt more confidence with something to “hang on too”. Another shelf, or some sort small storage in sink area would be helpful. David & Pamela June 23

    A really lovely spot to sit and relax. The hosts have done the garden proud with lots of wild birds visiting the pond. As the bungalow is well maintained and stocked with everything you would need and she has taken into account P.P.I. (investment in people) Good luck to them in the future. The owners are friendly, informative but not intrusive. The weather could have been better for us but that is what it is. The surrounding area more than made up for it. All in all the holiday was enjoyable and found the location home from home which is what we need at our age (70's). Thank you to the hosts.
