• "As we're in our 70s."

  The stairs were a slight issue but the whole place has been very thoughtfully put together. The "little" extras were a bonus and the garden room is fabulous. Alan and Dianne Swift.

• "What an amazing find !"

  A truly stunning and unique bijou property. The owner's attention to detail is second to none. From the minute you enter through the gate , you're entering what feels like a secret garden, full of surprises. On entering the property, the use of the space, the finish, the decor, and the additional historical info on said Hangman , William Marwood,( I polished off the biography in 2 days) is excellent. You can feel the love that's gone into transforming the cottage . We were greeted by seasonal local produce along with a plethora of additional treats, and an immaculately clean cottage , topped off by first rate communication from the owner . Parking, adjacent to the cottage was not an issue and was always free , Even considering the Easter break additional traffic. Hangmans cottage is by far the best quality experience we have had, and we use these types of accommodation regularly. If you can't already tell we LOVED it .

  ...And what an amazing review! Peter, thank you for taking time to submit your feedback, we're so pleased that you both found Hangman's Cottage homely and of interest and that you had an enjoyable stay. You were a pleasure to host - everything so exceptionally clean and tidy on your departure- thank you!! Property Owner

• "They say, ‘big is beautiful’, well, in this case, small is gorgeous and perfectly formed."

  From the ingenious design and exceptionally high standard of finish to the high-end quality of every item within it. The ‘Welcome Folder’ is perfectly laid out and instructions are clear, precise, and easily understood as is the pre-arrival information. Everything works as it should (the shower should win an award as should the bed and half a dozen other items) and it’s difficult to think of anything you could possibly need that isn’t available. The ‘Welcome Pack’ is extensive and includes too many items to list and again it is of top quality. No worries about arriving and needing to get to the shops straight away. Logs and kindling for the log burner are also readily available for the whole stay, not just a starter pack. Then there is the garden and the summer house (great heater in there and it was super-toastie even when it was -4 outside), the seating, barbecue, chimera, water feature etc.etc. Again, all top quality and would allow you to enjoy the cottage whatever the weather or season. The thought, generosity, and attention to detail afforded by the owners is quite extraordinary and the longer you stay there the more details and wonders you discover. However, this really doesn’t do Hangman’s Cottage justice, only by staying there can you possibly enjoy and appreciate what is on offer. It really is incredible. Not so much a holiday as an experience. I have stayed in many cottages and the like over the years, and this is by far the best in its class. Outstanding in every department. The only downfall is that you eventually have to leave. Thank you, Joy and James, for a wonderful stay. Superb.

  Well Steve, what can we say - what a fantastic review! Thank you for your time taken to submit such a thorough appraisal, more or less every aspect covered -it really is greatly appreciated. We are sincerely pleased you felt welcomed and found Hangman's Cottage so homely, exactly our intentions when renovating & furnishing the quaint little place. And as the weather certainly was very cold during your stay, we're delighted to know the addition of a new stove (for the colder months) in the summerhouse did the job and kept you toasty warm ! It was lovely to meet you by the way and thank you so much for taking such care of the cottage for us and rating your stay as 'not just another ordinary holiday let'. Best wishes to you and your mum, and we hope to welcome you again sometime. Property Owner

  A lot of thought must have been given to maximising the space within the cottage. Being there in the run up to Christmas made it all the more special with the additional decorations. We had a fabulous time and will recommend to any of our family and friends who may be thinking of visiting Horncastle and surrounding areas. Annette & Jim

  A lot of thought has been put in to maximising the space as best as possible, and everything is of a high quality.

• "Beautiful cozy little cottage newly renovated to a very high standard."

  This is not just a holiday let but very obviously a labour of love. The attention to detail is excellent, speaking from experience of many many cottage holidays the welcome pack is second to none. Although we went in winter and didn't use the garden much we could see that it would be a lovely relaxing area to spend time on days when you just want to chill. Look after this lovely place as the owners clearly cherish it. Many thanks, Terry & Lou

• "Hangman’s Cottage was near perfect."

  The only suggestion we have is about maybe providing recycling bins. We loved the cottage and spent at least two hours every day in the summer house reading which was so comfortable. We loved the garden in the Autumn sunshine Everything about the property is so tasteful and so thoughtful. Brilliantly put together by the owner.

  Catherine, thank you for choosing to stay at Hangman's cottage, what a wonderful review. It is so pleasing to know the finer details added to the cottage and garden were appreciated and maybe made your stay a little more special. Your suggestion for the provision of re cycling bins by the way is something we have been intending to do, so a very welcomed prompt!

• "Lovely cottage in a great location short walk from the town centre."

  The cottage has been recently renovated and is very high spec, well equipped and very tastefully furnished. We stay in a lot of rental cottages and this ranks highly as there is a quality mattress and bedding, all mod cons in the kitchen and a really good shower. Super welcome pack as well, everything is thought of. Best of all is the secluded cottage garden and summer house, and depending on the season there's fresh fruit and veg in the garden. We were lucky and parked in the adjacent layby. This is next to a busy road and that is the only down-side, but secondary glazing keeps the noice out unless you want the bedroom window open. It didn't disturb our sleep. All in all we'd highly recommend it.

  Ian, thank you so much for the review - it's great to know you were so impressed overall with Hangman's Cottage. We love that it is so close to all the amenities of the town centre and at the same time time boasts a 'secret' garden within the beautiful surroundings of the conservation area (especially the church tower with its clock chimes) Pleased to hear you were able to park directly outside, there are generally spaces available -and that the close proximity of Jubilee way didn't cause any nuisance is reassuring to know. Oh, and "ranked highly" - that's fabulous- thank you!! Property Owner

• "A hidden gem of a cottage."

  The owners have skillfully made the best use of every bit of the space available to ensure a great experience. The attention to detail was second to none and we appreciated the many little touches. So much thought has been taken to ensure you want for nothing. The garden was also delightful and we spent many hours just relaxing in the summerhouse; sewing, reading and just listening to the radio. The perfect place to explore the surrounding area and recharge your batteries!

  Lovely garden and summerhouse that we were able to use despite the showery weather and great to be able to pick fresh salad growing in the garden. We agree with some of the previous visitors that the bedroom is very comfortable but compact, so it is advisable not to bring too much luggage and the sofa could be a little bigger.

  Susan, we are so pleased you felt welcomed at Hangman's Cottage - thank you for leaving a review and for your lovely guestbook comments and recommendations.

  Everything you needed was there and well organised even down to the summerhouse’s comfy chair and guitar!

  The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing break. Well laid out tastefully furnished many extras provided by the owners. The garden is laid out with ample seating, a summer house beautiful flowers and plants with veg and salad plants that can be added to your meals. The town of Horncastle provides all you need in cafes, shops, bakers and butchers and good restaurants. A market in the town centre once a week is worth a visit. The town has a sports centre with pool, also a indoor bowling centre. We took advantage of the walks in the countryside locally. The owner provides lots of info on what is around and about the area.

  Thank you for your wonderful comments in the guest book and for taking the time to submit feedback - it is much appreciated. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and that you found the local information useful.
