"The cottage is situated in a picturesque location in a delightful village close to Lincoln."
The village has cafes, and pubs that do great meals.
The cottage was scrupulously clean, and full of interesting objects.The friendly owners live next door and are on hand to provide assistance, but unobtrusively.
We found that everything we needed was on hand, and full instructions were provided in a folder.The internet was very good.
Getting into the centre of Lincoln was simple using the Park and Ride only five minutes or so away.
Over the years we have visited many very good Sykes cottages.We very much enjoyed our time here, and we feel that this cottage ranks at the very top of the list

"The cottage was lovely and well equipped."
Well maintained and comfortable. The only downside was the WI was a bit intermittent and a few waste baskets would be a useful addition. These are minor points that did not affect our stay. The owner was very friendly and helpful and the goodies left for us were a lovely touch.

"We loved this cottage, quirky but extremely comfortable and equipped to a high standard."
The location is ideal for exploring this part of Lincolnshire being only 10 minutes drive into Lincoln or an hour from the coast. The village of Nettleham itself is a hidden gem with everything you would need. A special mention for Franky's Fish and chips and the Tea-Cosy Cafe. Fran and Mike are friendly and informative hosts and we would certainly return to this property in the future.

"We had a fabulous stay in this property and can’t recommend it enough."
The owners contacted us a couple of weeks before our stay to say they wouldn’t be there on our arrival and gave us all the instructions we needed for parking etc. The property was very clean and furnished fabulously and well stocked. We absolutely loved the antique furniture and where things needed to be modern they were. The welcome pack of wine, biscuits and crisps were very much appreciated. Nettleham village itself is a lovely village and has all the amenities you need. We hope to return soon.

Everything was as described, with some extras like biscuits and crisps. We were very comfortable, slept well, the surroundings were quiet at night, and during the day it was delightful to hear children paddling in the beck! It's a short walk along the beck to the village amenities, and to catch the bus into Lincoln. We would have booked for next year at the same time, but it was already booked, which tells you everything!

We much appreciated the welcome basket and information folder, and Mr and Mrs Spencer were very helpful.
There was more than enough room for our party of four and all the rooms were nicely furnished with plenty of space for storage.
Nettleham is a very pleasant village well served with a Co-op store, a Pharmacy and three pubs, of which we found the Plough to be friendly and with an excellent Greek menu. The other two pubs were also welcoming and all were within a short walking distance.
A local bus was hourly into Lincoln as was a bus to Grimsby.
To sum up, we had a great week's holiday here and would certainly recommend 22 Beckside to anyone thinking of staying in the area.

"The beck (stream) runs next to the cottage and there is a short walk alongside the beck to get to 'town' - the shops."
All basic shops are there plus three takeaways and three pubs, one of which has a superb but not expensive Greek restaurant on the first floor. The village is very friendly and pretty. The cottage is incredibly well-equipped, down to a Yorkshire pudding tin! It's warm, the beds are comfortable and the myriad of information booklets fills two drawers. The bus to Lincoln leaves from the top of a short street just over the beck, about 100 yards walk away. This was one of the best self-catering lets we've stayed in over many years of holidays.

The owners Dave & Fran were really lovely people and were next door if you needed them for anything.We enjoyed the surroundings with the stream running through the village and the garden was nice and peaceful to sit out with a glass of wine (kindly supplied by the owners). We were not short of sites to visit as we are National Trust members what really made my day was a visit to Bomber Command where the Lancaster bomber was working taking people for a short run around the field (expensive if you wished to take part, around £400 pounds per person which included lunch a bit too expensive for me). The other venue worth a visit is the Transport Museum not far from the cottage, the owner there is a lovely lady who showed us around and we had a really enjoyable few hours there. All in all this holiday was one of the best we have had and we would certainly recommend it to anyone.

It must have been devastating for the owners. Our trip was for the special event of our daughter’s wedding so it was pretty devastating for us too. Very happily for us Sykes had another property available in Nettleham, three miles from Lincoln.
