"A lovely place to stay."
The owner was so friendly and helpful, and the cottage really clean and tidy. The garden was secure for the dogs who had a great time. We had great fun using the pizza oven.
Would definitely recommend.

"Considering our holiday was very last minute due to a previous booking being cancelled last minute, everything at this cottage was perfect."
John the owner was such a lovely host and person and made us feel very welcome. The garden was beautiful and great to relax in and Jasper his Labrador was so sweet and friendly and tolerable of our barking scared little dog. I would definitely recommend this cottage for exploring Lincolnshire. Thank you John and Jasper.

Our dogs also had a great time exploring the fabulous garden and grounds. We will certainly be revisiting and couldn’t recommend this place enough.

John, Sue and Jasper (labrador) are always on hand to help, with great locL advice to how to use the Pizzza oven, the village of Hemswell is very quite with a lovely 5k circular walk to "The Stirrup Inn" (recommended) for refreshments. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and a great base to explore Lincolnshire Wolds and coast line.

"On arrival, the owner John was extremely friendly, and said just to let him know if we required any assistance or local information."
The property and fully enclosed garden is exceptional and the cottage had been cleaned to a very high standard.
John's dog Jasper is also very friendly, and obedient. Unfortunately one of my dogs was trying to be dominant, so I had to supervise him when the two dogs met.
For information, there is no mobile phone 'Virgin' signal in the village.
Positive feedback - Perhaps a dishwasher could be added, mattresses could be upgraded to memory foam, as currently mattresses very soft and springy which is no good for a back sufferer like me, or similarly others, and the 3 piece suite is tired and one armchair in particular has a sunken seat.
I certainly recommend this cottage and the superb dog friendly enclosed garden.

Everything was perfect for us and our two big dogs. The cottage was lovely, very clean and comfortable and the garden was beautiful and fully enclosed. John, the owner, was great and went out of his way to make our stay a good one. Our dogs integrated well with the owners dog, Jasper, and they all became the best of friends.

"Such a lovely cottage, fabulous gardens and fully equipped with everything you could need."
Just loved sitting outside whatever the weather and enjoying the peace and quiet. We had a couple of visits from Jasper the black lab who belonged to John the owner of the cottage, he’d have a treat and then be on his way! The cottage is brilliant for anyone with a dog, totally secure, our dog just wondered around the garden and found a nice place to sit in the sun. As for the cottage it’s self it has everything! We used the downstairs bedroom and the bed was so comfy. Fully equipped kitchen, everything was spotless and very well organised. A very spacious cottage which could definitely accommodate a family of 4 or 5 and still not be under each other’s feet especially with the outdoor seating area! We just loved it, there was even a pizza oven & BBQ but we didn’t use them. We had such a great time and didn’t want to leave on Friday morning but Sue arrived at 10am to get the cottage ready for the next lucky people to come and stay! Thanks John, Sue and Jasper for our lovely holiday and hope to be back soon!

There is a small play park just around the corner giving younger members of your party space too.

"What a well presented and maintained cottage!"
We booked this cottage for a week to get away from it all and relax together with the dog.
The cottage its self is well prepared, the kitchen has all the essentials. So we never found ourselves searching for something when cooking during our stay. The BBQ outside has it's own tools and was supplied with coals. The bedrooms were all exceptionally clean and comfortable. The owner advises that dogs don't go onto the furniture or beds without a throw over them first. (Which I understand completely.) At night we left our dog in the kitchen and corridor, closing the doors to the living room and bedrooms.
We got out on several walks around the local countryside and enjoyed coming back to the cottage afterward every time. With the guest book is a photo album showing the renovation work undertaken by the owner which is great to see the transformation.
Overall would highly recommend we will certainly look to come back here again another time.

"A lovely weeks break - beautiful English country garden with lots of quiet and peace and amazing fish pond, the BBQ and Pizza oven were good fun."
The cottage is friendly, comfortable with some qwerky features - as we expected for a converted building - real fire for a cozy evening. Great toys for the toddler and zoomy space for our dogs. Some reduced equipment due to covid - but easily managed everything we wanted. Owner was away but Sue was very helpful and quick to help. Very handy for Lincoln, small farm and zoo/rescue centre (1/2 days visits) - you do have to drive to the pub as the roads between hamlets were not pushchair friendly.

There is a terrace and outdoor dining area with a BBQ and a wood fired oven (with a generous supply of fuel) and access to the relaxing garden, which is beautifully presented. Nothing disturbed the tranquility. The host lives in an adjacent cottage and he was very helpful and friendly. At the end of our stay we left with a heavy heart and the feeling that we'd certainly pay a return visit.
