Jane was most accommodating at all times (she lives next door). Would definitely recommend this property. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Max

“The house was just amazing we loved it as soon as we arrived.”

The owner Jane is lovely and made us very welcome. The house was much larger than we expected and beautifuly decorated and extremely clean. The beds were so comfortable we had the best nights sleep. the grounds to the property are beautiful,had the weather been better we would have loved to sit outside. It would be great for children. The house is situated in a lovely quiet area but not far fron Lincoln. It was great after a busy day out we could go back to this gorgeous house and chill out. I would highly recommend this house we loved it. Pam
Mr Willcox October 2019

“A wonderful home in a lovely location!”

Jane was fantastic, the house was well equipped and immaculately kept. Loads of space for the dogs as well as an enclosed rear garden and easy access to woodland walks. We had a fantastic time and would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for relaxing break (& only a stone’s throw from Lincoln) in the area.
Mrs Mallett September 2019

“Fantastic place to stay.”

Everything you could want. Jane the owner was lovely and very welcoming. Lots of places to visit and things to do close by. Will definitely go again.
Mrs Martin August 2019

“A beautiful and very unique house with plenty of space, indoors and out.”
Mrs Wallace August 2019

“We have been to Broadleaf House twice.”

The first time last year it was just the two of us and it was so peaceful and relaxing. The second, this August, we went with our two grandsons and their parents, maybe not quite as peaceful but just as relaxing. There is so much space for the boys to run around safely that you can keep an eye on them from the very comfortable settee in the conservatory or go out and join in with all the outdoor games provided by Jane. The house is central to many interesting places, the beach, the city, the Wolds and lots of airbases you can visit. A wonderful time was had by all three generations.
Claudine July 2019

“The house is very big and very comfortable and well equipped.”

All around you can enjoy a beautiful garden. All the furniture, the beds and the kitchen are of high quality, everything was very clean. The owner lives next door, she is very friendly and very helpful. The house is surrounded by beautiful nature in a quiet area. In the evening you can see wild rabbits in the fields. The town of Lincoln is not far away and is easily accessible by car. We would highly recommend this address.
Mr Bell May 2019

“The cottage was wonderfull, plenty of room in a brilliant location.”

Dr Doig April 2019

“This house was amazing in every way, such a perfect getaway.”

The owner was so helpful, the facilities were perfect. We had a lovely time and will definitely be booking to come back again!
Mrs Billett April 2019

“Very peaceful location and a great base to explore Lincoln and other tourist attractions.”

The views from the house are very pleasant and we enjoyed watching the birds have a bath right outside the window. Jane was very helpful and accommodating. We all had a wonderful stay.

“Wow...Beautiful”

We stayed here as a family of 8 over the New Year period. What can we say a beautiful,spacious house with everything you could wish for. It was warm,clean and huge x The rooms were comfortable and clean enough seating for everyone. The bedrooms were big and beds were comfortable. Plenty of room for the children to play. The staircase was huge and the panaramic balcony Was to die for . Jane provided lots of information about the village and Lincoln..even taxi numbers xx Lovely walk to the village where there are two very nice pubs .Taxi into Lincoln was £7.00 . Can not fault this house ..large dining kitchen equipped with everything.A conservatory which in the summer will be lovely to use . Thanku Jane x
Mrs Nuttall December 2018

“As a family of 8 we visited this house from the 29/12/18 to the 5/1/19 .”

What can we say ....it’s a beautiful house .Clean ,spacious and warm . The rooms are large and spacious and provide ample seating and areas to gather in . The bedrooms are large and the beds are very comfortable. The huge staircase and panaramic landing is to die for (stairs a little slippy as they are wooden so slippers are needed) . The kitchen ,dining area is brilliant ,talk and drinks while you cook . There isn’t anything negative about this house .Well equipped down to the last detail ...Taxi numbers available and it’s only £7.00 into Lincoln. Lovely walks and small village pubs very nice . Jane is on hand and does not encroach on the guests but is there if needed xx A lovely place to stay Thanku xx

“What a find?”

Home from home! Broadleaf House is a lovely place to share with the family. The house is spacious and so well equipped . We stayed in November and were so warm and cosy. It was lovely to sit in front of the log burner in the lounge. As the accommodation is outside of Lincoln and not really in walking distance to pubs/restaurants it was great to have such a well stocked kitchen to prepare meals. We would highly recommend this house and Jane the owner was so friendly and welcoming. We are certainly planning to return.
Mr Chapman October 2018

“Broadleaf House is a super place with lots of room and well equipped.”

Jane was very accommodating and could not have been more helpful. We all had a lovely relaxing time and would thoroughly recommend a stay.
Mrs Morris October 2018

“We really loved staying at Broadleaf, a very warm welcome with tea and biscuits from the owner.”

Fabulous house and setting in a quiet spot with beautiful countryside. The best cottage we have ever stayed in and thoroughly recommended.
Bumblejoy March 2018

“Excellent”

The best we have stayed in and we have stayed in many lovely cottages/houses. The House is spacious, light and lovely and clean. The beds and bedding are so comfortable. We were 4 adults and 2 x 15 month toddlers, the house worked really well for us. Do not hesitate to book if you are thinking of visiting this area. Lincoln close and easy to get too. Lovely peaceful location with great walks to hand although we did not get far due to the "beast from the east" and approx 6-8 inches of snow and drifts. Jane the owner is just lovely and unobtrusive. Thank you to Ben for the logs. We will most definitely be back. Thank you

“A Marvellous Week”

Having had 11 cottage (actually large house) holidays in the last 3 years all excellent, Broadleaf House is up with the best. We went to visit Lincoln for a Christmas week and this was far better than any hotel or B&B stay. Lovely to come back on a cold night to an already warm house and start the log burner (plentiful supply of logs) and settle down, have a drink and relax before going to bed. Rooms and amenities are all excellent and as described on the website. Jane who built the house herself is very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for her or Ben. We went to the Lincoln Showground to catch the Christmas Park and Ride and also visited a large antiques fair. Although there are 2 pubs in Skellingthorpe, a trip to the Dambuster Inn at Scampton,(near the showground) which is full of character real open fire serving excellent food and drink is worth a visit. Also Doddington Hall is not far away and is also worth a visit. We had a marvellous stay at Broadleaf House and would have liked longer, so it is our intention to go again very soon and would highly recommend staying to anyone looking for a relaxing break.

“Stunning House,Comfy and large but still very cosy”

We stayed for a week in Broadleaf House in November, We were greeted by the owners on arrivals and shown were everything was and how it all worked, They were very friendly but not at all intrusive, they just said ANYTHING you need do not hesitate to call, The house itself is a large comfy house in a very quite lane just out of Skellingthorpe, a 5 min walk up the lane and you are into the woods which are lovely, the house is very well thought out - everything you need is there - The bedrooms and bathrooms are large and the beds are the best we have stayed in. The front room (one of 2) has a wood burner in which even for a complete fool like me found it easy to light and it put pout enough heat for the coldest nights, and a large comfy sofa and 2 chairs, the other front room is called "the Snug" but not at all small but very handy if you are stilling with children The kitchen has everything you need (inc a 4 slice toaster you would not believe how many places we stay in where it is only a 2 slice one!!) There is also a dining table in there as well as one in the conservatory just off the main front room Lincoln is a very easy 5/10 min drive away We will def be going back and would recommend it anyone looking for a stay with a small or large party in Lincolnshire

“Comfortable and Beautiful”

When I write a review for TripAdvisor, I do try to be objective and give the plus and minus points. My problem with writing about this property is, there are no negatives! I think this is probably the best places we have ever been to! Broadleaf house is set in the Old North Wood just outside the village of Skellingthorpe. The location is perfect for the country but, is also handy for the city of Lincoln. We used it as a base to visit some of the great local attractions. This is a beautifully furnished, well equipped spacious property which is incredibly comfortable. We were 5 adults and 1 under 2 year old and there was plenty of space for us all. We all had a great time and the family insisted that we plan a return trip.

“Fantastic holiday cottage”

Broadleaf House is an extremely spacious and comfortable holiday cottage. The lounge is massive with a wood burning stove and LED TV. Their is conservatory and second sitting room with LED TV allow people to do their own thing. The balcony off the landing would be great in summer to relax with a coffee or something a bit stronger. The three bedrooms are comfortable and can be set up as doubles or twins. Although very rural this is a good base to explore historic Lincoln. In a nutshell this is quite simply the best cottage we have ever rented.

“A Great Stay”

I have just had a lovely weekend stay at Broadleaf House, in a group of 6 adults so we could attend Lincoln Christmas Market. Arriving early the owner was very welcoming and showed us around the house explaining well how the amenity’s worked, such as the log burning fire in the spacious living room. The house is spotlessly clean with fresh crisp white bedding on all the very comfy beds in the spacious bedrooms, one with on suite. 2 TV’s are available a very large HD TV in the TV room and a large smart TV in the living room again all fully explained to us on arrival., The owner was very helpful with regards to a taxi company and this was £14.70 for 6 adults in to Lincoln, which we thought was great value We have all had a great weekend and would not hesitate to recommend this house for a short break or indeed a longer holiday, our only negative comment would be that the property could do with some nice pictures on the walls and a few bits and pieces around to make it a little more cosy, the house is quite modern in its feel and this would make it a little warmer in feel, please don’t see this as a criticism as it’s a personal preference which our group would like to have seen Overall a great property, very pleasant owner and spotlessly clean, we would defenatly book again should we be visiting Lincoln in a group again. Highly recommend

The property

Broadleaf House is a simply stunning, quality house designed by the owner, only four miles from Lincoln but surrounded by open countryside.

Set within 250 acres of ancient broadleaf woodland, this is the perfect place to stay for that much-needed peaceful break.

The house has been beautifully designed, with care and attention to detail very obvious throughout.

The elegant sitting room is just the ticket for a cosy evening around the woodburner, and the en-suite master bedroom offers a light and spacious retreat, with its two windows facing east and west.

To complement the king-size bed, there is also a day bed which can provide a quiet space for relaxing, or can be cleverly converted into two full-size single beds.

Broadleaf House has a delightful balcony with seating for two, which is accessed from the feature landing.

It is a wonderful place to enjoy a pot of tea or take in the evening air in summer.

Guests can choose to dine in the kitchen or the conservatory, which commands super views of the garden, and when the fertile crops have been harvested, there is a tantalising view of Lincoln Cathedral from the edge of the garden, towering majestically above the landscape.

Whether you want to discover the city of Lincoln, with its iconic cathedral and original copy of the Magna Carta, explore the Lincolnshire Wolds or even Chatsworth House in the Peak District an hour and a quarter away by car, Broadleaf House is the place for you!
