“Lovely warm cottage.”

Fantastic location with plenty of fabulous walks directly from the cottage. Made to feel very welcome by the owners.

“Kitchen facilities a little short.”

No measuring jug/another chopping board/small cutting knifes etc. would be better.

“We loved the place, the welcome pack is definitely a nice touch.”

The cottage is a little quirky but we like like that, it has all the kit you need in the kitchen. The garden could do with a little more furniture and a chimenea would be excellent. The owners are lovely and are nice to talk too, nothing was a problem. I have even booked up again for our anniversary in January and we cant wait . Its a lovely place to escape too. Thanks to Leo and George.

“We all had a lovely time.”

Very relaxing and peaceful location. Fantastic outdoors and gorgeous indoors.

“We chose this accommodation based on the fact it had some fishing facilities & showed a lake on the images that was close to the property, we have a 5 year old who does like to fish with her dad a little bit and thought the distance from house to lake was perfect so that she could use the toilet facilities at the house when needed, and also come and go to the lake with a parent when she needed to.”

This lake turned out to be fly fishing lake only and the other lakes we could use were quite a walk away, inconvenient for us and not at all what we were expecting. The stairs were steep & curved, we would not have booked this property if known that in advance, we all nearly came down them at some point during our stay. Didn't expect to have a little bat in the main living room & quite a few more spiders & cobwebs than we would have liked.... A pan stand in the kitchen would be a great addition!

“Would you like to tell us anything else about this holiday?”

Fantastic location for dog walking, watching the wildlife and the ponds and generally enjoying the peace and quiet. My husband fished every day of the holiday and thoroughly enjoyed it. The cottage was charmingly quirky, beds comfy, log burner good and plentiful supply of logs. I would have liked to be able to hang out the washing, the lack of a washing line was unfortunate and there needs to be an addition of garden furniture, table and chairs and couple of comfy garden chairs - which would make it even better. The garden is not enclosed, we did go knowing this and as we have 2 large dogs, we took a strong long dog leash in order for them to be in the garden with us when we sat out on the bench and rigged it up to the wooden fence. So all in all a lovely cottage, friendly owners and fantastic idyllic location if you want peace and quiet. We didn’t have any service on our mobiles in the cottage but could WhatsApp through the WiFi so not a huge issue. If we walked up the hill from the cottage we could then get signal and make a call if needed. We actually liked the fact no one could ring us to be honest! I did find the lack of an information book a bit of a problem but we did manage to work out how to use everything, it’s just emergency numbers of local amenities that I would have expected to find, as I’ve always had these in other Sykes properties. We would absolutely return, as we walked a lot just from the cottage on the farmland and found some really peaceful and beautiful walks - the bridleway took us past row upon row of sunflowers and poppies on a very sunny day and I was hard pushed not to think we were in France!

“Stairs are a little steep but otherwise very enjoyable break”

“This is a lovely cottage with everything you could wish for on holiday.”

Spotlessly clean and fully equipped. It is set in lovely countryside with lots of walks for our dogs. Sorry but I cannot fault it anywhere .

“The cottage has everything we would like to see in all cottages we visit throughout the year.”

Location is quiet, adjacent to walking routes, looking over a trout-fishing pool, short drive to the of small towns Market Rasen and Louth with coastal locations just over half an hour away. The size of the cottage was perfect for us, and with plenty of room for a party of 4, the traditional farmhouse style enhanced the experience. The owners Leo and Greorge made us feel very welcome with not only the goodies left for our arrival and much appreciated warm house with log burner already lit, but also by Leo’s genuinely friendly greeting when we met her by chance on a walk. We will definitely re-visit!
