It was a detached bungalow on its own site with a very large conservatory on one end and had a large lounge and a sizeable, well equipped dining kitchen. Whilst the views were very limited we found the location ideal for visiting the attractions in the local are. We would recommend going to the Lincolnshire Aviation Trust at nearby East Kirby, especially on a Lancaster bomber taxying day - it's a memorable sight to be so near to a Lancaster with the engines going a full blast ! There are a number of dining pubs nearby and the local Co-op and fish and chip shop are only a short drive away.

“The bungalow was of an high standard the only thing that was lacking was a decent mop for the floor but otherwise we had a fantastic holiday and would recommend this place to anyone.”

John and Tracey Plant who own the bungalow were very welcoming and although they live across the road did not encroach on our time there. Thanks to them for letting us use their bungalow and for such a lovely quiet place to stay. Karen and Ernie

- Mrs Barker, August 2020
Mr Francis March 2020

“Great bungalow with a wonderful conservatory as an added attraction.”

Good location for exploring Lincolnshire and North Norfolk. Time the county council did something about the many roads with appalling surfaces.

Mrs Croxson-hicks December 2019

Mrs Pearce October 2018

“On arrival the owner met us with the keys and advised if there was any problems at all not to hesitate to contact them, otherwise to enjoy our stay.”

On entering the property it was nice and warm as we arrived on the coldest day of October. Having had a quick look around the property was exactly as the photo's showed on the website and it was spotless, it was really roomy and the conservatory even had radiators which meant we could sit in there so we stuck all our daughters toys in it and let it be her play room for the week which was perfect. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to put a meal together without struggling for anything. The garden was enclosed and secure and the drive even had a gate which we shut every time we came back just in case our daughter did get out so she couldn't get out of the grounds of the bungalow which gave us peace of mind. If you were thinking of booking don't hesitate you won't be disappointed.

- Mrs Pearce, October 2018
Mrs Sinfield September 2018

“Because the owners were on site it made it very helpful if needed for any problems with cottage, the owners were very friendly and made you feel welcome.”

Enjoyed holiday very much, ideal for dogs as back garden is very enclosed. The bricklayers arms is a very friendly pub to go to for meals and enjoy a drink with your dog.

- Mrs Sinfield, September 2018
Mr Oliver June 2018

“The cottage was excellent the bed was the best I have slept in.”

There was not really enough area near the cottage for good dog walking.

- Mr Oliver, June 2018
Mr Zipzer June 2018

We will be returning.

Mr Ashton March 2018

Friendly and helpful owners

- Mr Ashton, March 2018
Rev Good September 2017

“The reason that we would not return to this cottage is that it is a bit remote and we have now seen everything we wanted to see in that area.”

For all that, an excellent holiday cottage and our neighbours are already thinking of book next year.

- Rev Good, September 2017
Miss Boast July 2017

“We had everything you would need at the bungalow.”

The only thing we could find fault with was that it was a bit far from the shops. A lovely holiday though.

- Miss Boast, July 2017

Mrs Peek April 2014

“The place was a perfect base to explore the area.”

It was extremely well cared for. The owners were friendly and helpful but unobtrusive. The 'welcome' Easter egg was a lovely touch. The accommodation is excellent; it looks small from the outside but is exceptionally spacious inside. Great conservatory. The plus for us was that we were able to bring our dogs and the site is adults only, hence peaceful!

- Mrs Peek, April 2014
Mrs Campbell March 2014

“The accommodation was absolutely faultless and owners extremely helpful.”

We had a very comfortable week and would love to have stayed longer. There are so many good eating places nearby and lots to see. We travelled as far as East Kirkby Aviation Centre and RAF Coningsby. We were fortunate enough to see so many daffodils in full bloom everywhere. Thoroughly recommend.

- Mrs Campbell, March 2014
Mrs Kay February 2014

- Mr Carpenter, January 2013
Mrs Williams October 2012

No disturbance from the camp site. No intrusion from the owners. There were information brochures to peruse. Spacious and relaxing inside. We particularly enjoyed the sun room - even though the weather was not all that warm. Altogether a very enjoyable holiday and a lovely place to stay.

Plenty of room and nice and warm. The area was quiet and peaceful and I could relax. I managed to do some walking and local sight-seeing. The owners were very nice. Boston has a lot of things going on and I managed to visit Lincoln and Skegness. I came to get away from everything for a few weeks and enjoyed the experience.

- Mr Vasse, November 2010
Mr Kempe August 2010

“Only once (in the week) heard a train in distance.”

Lovely large and pleasant conservatory and garden.

- Mr Postle, March 2010
Mr Dorow March 2010

“The railway did not disturb us at all!”

Handy for East Kirkby Air Museum and Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at RAF Coningsby. Boston Stump Tower worth the climb.

- Mr Dorow, March 2010
Mrs McCarron January 2010

“The holiday property owners made us feel so welcome, they are a lovely couple.”

The accommodation was excellent, warm, clean, really nice inside. They had thought of everything to make the holiday home from home. The dog was also made welcome and he made himself at home too.

Mr & Mrs Kerr September 2009

“Peace and quiet!”

- Mr & Mrs Kerr, September 2009
Mrs Webster August 2009

You could enjoy the 'hustle and bustle' of Skegness a few miles up the coast. Some nice quiet beaches with toilets and free parking!

- Mrs Webster, August 2009
Mr Hart July 2009

“The property was very well situated for all the attractions that we wanted to see.”

The nearest shops are some 2-3 miles away, this gave me a good excuse to cycle to get newspapers instead of a 5 minute drive in the car.

- Mr Hart, July 2009
Mr O'Dell June 2009

“The owners were very friendly.”

Property is ideal for getting away from it all but close enough to get to the tourist areas. Everything excellent!

About the location

OLD LEAKE

Boston 8 miles; Skegness 15 miles.

Old Leake is a quiet, South Lincolnshire village on the edge of the Fens, an area known as the “Holland of England” due to its bulb fields, vegetable production and windmill sails. Old Leake sits in lovely countryside and has a shop, Post Office, three pubs, a sports field and a children’s playground. Less than 9 miles away, the market town of Spilsby offers shops, restaurants and inns, while Trader Windmill, a working mill now run by English Heritage, can be found 4 miles away in Sibsey. The area has much on offer: the former WWII airfield at East Kirkby, now an Aviation Heritage centre, the large market town of Boston, the traditional seaside resort of Skegness and the antiques centre of Horncastle. For nature lovers, RSPB Freiston Shore and Frampton Marshes are within easy distance, and the coastline, Fens and rolling hills of the Wolds offer many walks.
