"We have just returned from a fantastic week at the Barn ."
The accommodation is first class. Everything you need for a really comfortable break. Our dog loved the enclosed garden too. There was a welcome pack for us on arrival which was more than generous. We also had a tour of the owners amazing garden which was amazing. Overall an excellent place to spend a relaxing holiday. Would highly recommend

"Had another wonderful restful stay at the Barn."
It was great seeing Sarah, Murray and Victoria again and looking so well. The Barn is such a comfortable cottage with a amazing welcome pack . Ideal base to do lots of touring around Lincolnshire or visit Pub next door if like us just enjoy the rest, peace and comfort it offers. Thanks for tour of your beautiful garden and meeting the ferrets. Also able to lots of watercolour painting . Looking forward to visiting again hopefully it will be a lot sooner next time. Thanks again PS plants already in garden and doing well. love Elizabeth and Bob x

"We had a lovely week at the Barn beautiful location."
Our hosts were very welcoming with a welcome pack which was very kindand thoughtful. There was nothing we could fault.
-
"This was a lovely place to stay in had everything you needed and there was even a welcome pack from the owners."
Your own garden area at the side of the property. Would definitely recommend it.

"This property is well furnished and has all mod cons."
The kitchen is well equipped and has plenty of space to work in plus easy access to appliances and cupboards which have good storage areas. The lounge has vey comfortable seating with a dining area which is next to a conservatory. There are plenty of books and local info in the bookcase especially the aviation history. We used just the double bedroom during our stay which was very comfortable with a sperate dressing area and bathroom nearby. The real bonus for this property is the setting in the village of Snitterby. Situated on the owners property it still has complete detachment and has a very pleasant outdoor area laid to lawn with a hedge which gives complete privacy. The owners are so very welcoming and had provided a very generous welcome pack with bread, butter, milk, bacon, eggs and cookies. During our introductory chat we expressed our interest in gardening and they extended an invitation to look around their garden which was absolutely beautiful even in late April at the time with some things still in bud or just emerging. We did have some really good weather during our visit and delighted in sitting out in the garden relaxing and listening to the birdsong especially the Song Thrushes If you like a visit to a pub then you will be well suited because their is virtually a pub "ensuite". Along the drive their is a footbridge over a stream leading to the Royal Oak. The pub only serves drinks and has a well furnished interior that could be termed as traditional. It is an oasis. No piped electronic beat music or intrusive big screen television. Just people, having a drink and yes, talking to each other. The pub offers an extensive range of drinks including real ale and all at very reasonable prices. Snitterby has no shops so you will need to travel out for food etc. There is Co Op at Hilbadstow which is just a couple of miles north or bigger stores Lidl and Tesco can be found at Brigg. Lincoln is just a 30 minute or so drive and places like Brigg and Gainsborough not to far away. There is so much to see in Lincolnshire and the countryside is so lovely with picturesque villages and small towns especially on the Wolds. My wife and I have been on many self catering holidays over the years and we both agreed that this is the only place, so far, that we would go back to. If your looking for a real getaway from noisy city or town dwelling and a "real chill" then this is for you. Wonderful.

"Such a warm welcome from the hosts."
A really comfortable,warm property with plenty of room . Nothing can be done to make it any better.
-
"This is the second time we have stayed at this property and again completely happy with our experience."
The barn is spacious and very comfortable with everything needed for a relaxing break. Owners Sarah and Murray friendly and attentive.
-
"A five star cottage."
Everything that you need to have a comfortable holiday. Really lovely helpful owners. Plenty of peaceful dog walks straight from the door. A short car journey takes you to the biggest Antique shops in Europe at Helmsley and the coast isn't very far away. We hope to return next year.
-
"We had a lovely welcome from Sarah and Murray."
The cottage is superb, clean and everything you need for your stay. There was a generous welcome pack and a tour of the cottage showing us where things were and how to work them. It is maintained to a high standard and you can tell the owners are keen to know if you need anything more and let them know if you have any problems. This is a great example of how things should be done when letting out your holiday home. We would recommend it to anyone and certainly stay again if in the area in fact I would happily live in it.
-
"This was our third visit to The Barn and once again it lived up to expectations."
The cottage was spotless, very well equipped and there was a very generous welcome pack waiting for us. Since our last visit there have been some improvements and several replacements, we were very impressed that the owners have replaced the bath with a lovely walk in shower. They have listened to their guests and gone out of their way to make life as easy as possible. We love the area and have no doubt that we will be heading back that way and when we do we won't have to look far for the perfect accommodation, they even have blankets for the dog if you forget yours. A huge thank you to Sarah, Murray and Victoria for another pleasant stay.
-
"The Barn was a lovely holiday home which had everything that we needed for a very enjoyable stay, Murray and Sarah showed us round the property on our arrival and told us a lot about the area and also the information pack had lots in it too, they also left us a lovely welcome pack."
Lots of lovely woodland walks within a short drive, our favourites were Owlett, Ashing lane nature reserve and Willingham woods, our little dog loved them all as did we, would thoroughly recommend the Barn.
-
"Lovely place to stay, much bigger than it looked in the photos, friendly owners, very short walk to the pub."
All round Nice area to stay. Nice food package when we arrived and a tour of the property so we knew how everything worked. Thanks
-
"Well equipped and comfortable with a generous welcome pack provided with a pub opposite what more could you want."
Hosts are lovely and available if you need them.

-
"A second visit to "The Barn."
" Still a beautiful cottage which has had some lovely upgrades, everything you need has been provided and even a welcome pack which is Grade A* The garden is just the right size for our border collie Jonty to have his run about and he likes nothing better than sun bathing there, we have trouble getting him to come in. A short walk to the local pub and the locals are still there and very friendly, nice to be remembered by the landlord. Murray and Sarah the cottage owners are very friendly, always on hand if you need anything and/or advice on where to go. .
-
"A medical emergency meant our week didn't finish in the way we expected but our stay at the barn was very comfortable."
It was our 2nd stay. Murray and Sarah provided everything we needed including a food welcome pack. They were very helpful with my unexpected health problem. I also bought some of Victoria's plants for my garden at home. The barn is in a lovely setting by a stream. Thank you.
-
"The Barn was perfect for us, and Sara, Murray and Victoria very interesting and friendly."
The Barn is high spec, new kitchen and bathroom, and very easy to use. There is walking from the house, and the roads are very quiet and the countryside very attractive. There are lots of interesting places to visit. In the evenings we enjoyed a beer in the conservatory and watching films from the extensive pile in the sitting room! Highly recommendable property.
-
"A wonderful property, nicely decorated and very well equipped."
Warm and comfortable with everything you need for a home away from home. The owners were very welcoming and gave us all the information that we needed for our stay. It’s a great place to explore the local area from. We would definitely recommend it and hope to return again ourselves.
-
"Our 2nd stay at the barn and it didn’t disappoint ."
Lovely welcoming hosts and a wonderful cottage. I think you’d be hard pushed to find anywhere In the area that is better than this.
-
"A friendly and warm welcome from Sarah and Murray."
Very clean , spacious and peaceful . The conservatory a sun trap even in February and a lovely place to enjoy the books provided . A lovely week exploring the Georgian villages and towns. Appreciated the cleaning items provided (do like to clean up before leaving). Many thanks for the “ goodies” they made a great Sunday breakfast.
-
"Fantastic welcome pack and welcome from Murray and Sarah."
The pictures don't do it justice, stunning place and a great base to explore.
-
"From the comprehensive property briefing to the excellent welcome pack Murray and Sarah were the perfect hosts."
The Barn was excellent with everything you needed for your stay provided. The location in a quiet village but close to main attractions was excellent. The main sounds were the ducks in the adjacent beck. I would personally recommend The Barn. Thank you Murray and Sarah for a lovely stay which Sasha the Staffie also enjoyed
-
"We stayed here over the Christmas period 2023."
We were greeted with a warm welcome and shown around the lovely property. It was very comfortable and the owners Sarah and Murray were very friendly and accommodating, throughout the stay they made sure everything was OK for us. The welcome pack left for us was so very welcome and delicious, it was a very nice surprise to find. Would definitely stay here again and will highly recommend it. Thank you Sarah and Murray x
-
"We loved every minute staying here!"
It really was lovely and felt like home. Murray and Sarah were wonderful hosts and very friendly. Inside the cottage had everything we needed and more. A starter pack was left in the kitchen of milk, bread, butter, bacon and biscuits which was lovely, it has a very comfortable bed and is very peaceful. the area is beautiful and theres a pub next door. I would fully recommend staying here as it was beautiful.
-
"Owners were very lovely and couldn't be more helpful, especially since we had some car trouble on arrival."
The barn is very spacious and has everything we needed for our break.
-
"No real concerns, lovely barn conversion, very nice people, only niggle was bed was very hard and uncomfortable."
Otherwise very good.
-
"Lovely cottage, very comfortable and enjoyable to stay in."
The welcome pack was a surprise, but full of wonderful goodies to enjoy. We were made very welcome by our hosts, where nothing was too much trouble. Can fully recommend the Barn for a wonderful holiday.
-
"A really well equipped barn with everything you need."
The enclosed garden was great for the dog. The owners were very helpful and informative. If like us you don't want to cook you need to travel as pub is great but doesn't do food. There are however several places not too far away. One of the nicest cottages we have stayed in and wouldn't hesitate in recommending to friends and family.
-
"The cottage was in a lovely position and well equiped."
The hosts were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.
-
"We stayed from 19th August to 26th August."
On arrival we were met by Murray who showed us round and explained everything to us.The accommodation was very comfy and we settled in straight away. There was a welcome pack in the kitchen, everything you needed for Sunday breakfast and more. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and with the local pub just a minute away what more could you want. We will give 5 stars for location, comfort and hospitality.
-
"I had a lovely stay in this very homely barn, I came to view the local area and found the host very informative which helped me greatly."

"Owners very welcoming, friendly and helpful on arrival."
Welcome pack one of the best we have had. Cottage very well equipped with all our needs and good space. Quiet location with very local pub and good area for exploring. Had a lovely time, thank you.
-
"This was a perfect base for us, lots of space and an ideal garden area for our dog Winnie and ourselves."
The sun room was an added bonus. The owners were very caring, and personable, even showing us their garden at the back of their house. The barn has plenty of room, in an idyllic village setting, we would certainly recommend others to stay here.
-
"Really lovely stay at The Barn."
Very comfortable and well equipped. Area is so peaceful and quiet, but still had plenty to do and see. Sarah Murray and Victoria showed us round their beautiful garden, which was a real treat. Provided with a fab welcome pack, and even swapped the bacon and sausages for veggie sausages for us. Welcoming and friendly without being intrusive, property has it’s own private garden. We would book again next time we’re holidaying in this area.
-
"Perfect property for our stay."
Comfortable, well maintained and with friendly hosts. The welcome pack was appreciated. Setting is peaceful but very handy for trips out. Certainly worth another visit.
-
"The barn was one of the best places we’ve stayed and we have booked to go again next year."
Sarah and Murray were welcoming, friendly and helpful from the time we arrived until the day we left. Can’t speak highly enough of this cottage, it’s wonderful.
-
"Great stay, albeit too short."
Very comfortable and very well equipped dog-friendly accommodation. The welcoming hosts have thought of everything. We would highly recommend.
-
"The cottage was warm,cosy and plenty of room for all three of us and the dog."
-
"This is our second stay and again we were greeted and welcomed on our arrival by Sarah and Murray the owners - such a lovely couple who can’t help enough."
The Barn was as we remembered - extremely well furnished, cosy, clean and comfortable and the welcome pack they provided ranged from milk, through cereal, bread, tea and coffee, vegetarian sausages, butter and eggs! With a lovely brook babbling literally a few yards away from the bedroom window and situated in a quiet village - it is such a peaceful getaway. However with just a 20 minute drive to Lincoln City and lots to do - like visiting the Castle and beautiful Cathedral or catching a show at the Drill in Lincoln - there’s something for everyone. We definitely recommend a stay in this property - you won’t be disappointed!
-
"Our second stay in The Barn this year and, once again, we had a wonderfully relaxing time."
The Barn is well equipped and very comfortable, it is convenient for travelling to a range of local towns and there are some great walks direct from the cottage or within a short driving distance.
-
"Property was excellent and one of the best I have stayed at over the last 5 years."
The village is a bit remote but is very pleasant. Even has a pub next door which takes less than 30 paces to get from door to door. ;-) Host were very nice and accommodating. Even provided some bare essentials like milk, bread, butter, cereal and bacon. Very nice touch.
-
"Perfect! The Barn was comfortable and well equipped."
Sarah and Murray were great hosts, and provided a wonderful welcome pack in the kitchen to get us started. We were even treated to a tour of their garden. The village and the surrounding area are very quiet, just what you need if you want to get away from it all.
-
"What a property."
Absolutely perfect in every aspect, we had a fabulous 5 day stay exploring the area. Sarah & Murray were superb hosts without being intrusive. They gave us lots of information for places to visit. The welcome pack is outstanding, The Barn is in a beautiful quiet spot, we slept so well every night. Good walks from the property for dog owners. We can highly recommend The Barn.
-
"What a gem."
Really enjoyed our holiday and having a base like the Barn was great. The hosts were very welcoming and informative regarding local walks,restaurants etc…and the Barn was immaculate. Had a restful eeek.
-
"The owners are absolutely fantastic; they are friendly and informative."
The welcome pack was perfect and much appreciated.
-
"The Barn was a totally relaxing place very clean and with everything you could need provided."
We loved our time there and wished we could have stayed longer. Our hosts were very friendly and gave us lots of information on places to see and we loved our tour of the garden. Our dog Jonty had the time of his life, outside all day every day and he made friends with a robin that visited in the morning. The locals in the pub were friendly and we went for a couple of hours each night. We visited Lincoln and several villages because hubbies ancestors are from there, Spilsby in particular, we found the church open and loved it, shame the gravestones are so weathered. We would seriously think of going back sometime soon.
-
"Its our third stay at "The Barn" and won't be our last."
A very comfortable cottage set in the quiet village of Snitterby This is a ideal base to visit so many places such as Gainsborough, Brigg the lovely nature reserve near The Humber Bridge "Waterside" and of course if you just want to relax enjoy the privacy of you own garden space or pop over to the local old fashioned Pub next door. The owners Sarah and Murray are so welcoming and friendly. Many thanks for great welcoming pack and wish them all the best . hope to see you all very soon Elizabeth and Bob
-
"The barn was really well equipped and the owners welcomed us and provided loads of info re days out, amenities and local jubilee celebrations as well as how to work appliances in the barn and keys etc."
They lived on site but were not intrusive but said any problems to contact them. There was a lovely welcome package in the kitchen. The Barn was lovely and clean and the accommodation suited our needs perfectly. The local pub was really welcoming and it was dog friendly too. There were good local walks for the dog and everyone we met in the village was friendly. Would highly recommend the barn.
-
"The Barn is a pretty cottage perfectly situated for visiting the area, I cannot think of a single thing we needed that wasn't available."
We took our fairly large dog with us and the garden was big enough for her, she did enjoy looking out through the fence. I would say the fence isn't very high and she could have jumped over it had she wanted to so that would be something to bear in mind if you have an escape artist. Sarah and Murray were very friendly and keen to make sure we had everything we needed but didn't intrude in any way, sorry I missed visiting the garden but will visit again without doubt. We made use of the pub next door a couple of times, very pleasant sitting out in the beer garden with the dog and just wish they did food. We have never visited the area before and found everyone to be very friendly, plenty of dog friendly places to go and we were never stuck because we had a dog with us.
-
"The cottage was as expected, hence why I chose this one, it is perfectly located ..."
The cottage was as expected, hence why I chose this one, it is perfectly located to get to different attractions (in my case walks for my dog), it was very comfortable and the owners were perfect host’s, and a generous welcome pack was very much appreciated, would highly recommend and see myself going back to the same cottage at some stage in the future
-
"Sarah and Murray are friendly and helpful hosts, with a lot of ideas of places to visit."
The Barn is first class accommodation. Is very comfortable it has all that you need. The welcome pack left was fab, bacon,eggs,butter,bread,orange juice,milk, tea and coffee. It just sets the holiday mood. Would highly recommend it. Some day would like to return.
-
"This was our second time at this wonderful holiday cottage."
The owners have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. They are on hand for any problems (although we had none to report!) and advice of where in the area to visit. There is a small enclosed garden at this dog friendly holiday home. We hope to return next year.
-
"What a great little cottage!"
We’ve never stayed at cottage quite so close to a pub, a good pub for that matter. The cottage has all of the facilities we could have wanted and the owners were happy to chat when we saw them passing. Saying that, they were also happy to leave us be but were ready with local guidance should we need it. Please don’t let the proximity of the pub put anyone off this lovely cottage, the pub shuts at 8 every night so there is never any late night noise and the pub serves really good beer (no food so don’t expect to get fed) and the locals were so welcoming whenever we ventured in for an odd beer. In essence, a great little cottage, well equipped and a lovely spot to base yourself should you want to explore wider or just sit and enjoy the tranquility of rural Lincolnshire. We will definitely visit this cottage again in the future.
-
"The Barn, Snitterby, is outstanding in every way."
My active young dog and I had a very comfortable stay. The property is in an ideal location for walking right from the door. The garden is lovely. The ambience and facilities at The Barn are faultless. The hosts are welcoming and friendly, and the welcome pack was exactly what I needed after a late night arrival. Highly recommended!
-
"This is a beautifully appointed, clean, spacious and very comfortable barn conversion set in a fabulously quiet and peaceful village and is located by the side of a pretty babbling brook."
(The photographs of the accommodation provided by Sykes Cottages unfortunately do not do it justice at all.) We took our small dog and the pretty little garden attached to the accommodation is very secure so that we had no concerns about allowing him to run around in it. The personal welcome we received from Sarah and Murray was wonderful after our 3 hour drive and the welcome pack they supplied was very generous and catered to our vegetarian requirements - including veggie sausages, tomatoes, butter, bread, muesli, milk, orange juice, tea, coffee and lovely sweet biscuits! If you’re intending to visit historic Lincoln it’s coastal resorts or go rambling in the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds this accommodation is ideally situated for you. We urge you to take a break here because this lovely couple obviously care very much about the visitors to their Barn and make your stay as comfortable and welcoming as possible. We will definitely be staying here again.
-
"This was our 2nd visit,and just as enjoyable as the first."
The Barn is very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need along with an excellant welcome pack.Owners,Sarah and Murray,are very friendly and helpful.We will definitely return.
-
"The barn was beautiful very clean and cosy."
It had everything you needed. The hosts were very welcoming . Lovely area lots of places to visit which are mostly dog friendly. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be returning next year
-
"Very welcoming, friendly and helpful host family."
Extremely good cleaning schedule was reassuring during the current Covid pandemic. We visited Lincoln, Louth, Felixstowe, and Diss, and also enjoyed walking around the local area. A lovely relaxing stay - thank you to Murray, Sarah and Victoria :)
-
"Lovely hosts, brilliant cottage in a very peaceful location."
Highly recommended - thank you.
-
"On arrival we were greeted with a friendly hello and showed around the barn."
Wow the pictures do no justice to the actual accommodation, it is stunning, quiet, relaxing and just what we needed. There was a welcome pack of food that was unexpected but greatly appreciated. Our hosts were amazing and made us feel very welcome, we will definitely return when we can get booked in. 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
-
"My wife, myself and our 4 year old son had a fantastic holiday in The Barn."
It had everything we needed and much more. The welcome pack was great and very much appreciated. The hosts were lovely, always ready to chat with advice about the local area. The pub across the bridge is lovely and the locals were all friendly and welcoming. We can't wait to stay in The Barn again!
-
"Helpful and friendly hosts."
Tour of their extensive garden an unexpected bonus. Perfect spot for visiting attractions. Pub across the bridge next door ideal, landlord very informative and helpful with suggestions about the local area. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Would definitely visit again.
-
"Lovely homely cottage."
Thank you to Murray and Sarah for the warm welcome and delicious treats.
-
"The Barn is a very well equipped cottage meeting all our needs for a relaxing holiday."
The welcome pack supplied by Sarah, Murray and their daughter Victoria was brilliant. The hosts were welcoming and friendly and made us feel at home. We went to this area to visit the very large antiques centre at Hemswell which was a ten minute car journey away so was a perfect holiday cottage for us as we were able to visit several times. There is a really nice pub with a welcoming landlord literally a stones throw from the cottage. All in all lovely place to stay and we would highly recommend The Barn for a perfect holiday.1
-
"Really lovely place."
Very pleasant surprise with the welcome pack of eggs, butter, milk, bread etc. Much appreciated. Made to feel very welcome by owners. Thank you. Just minor things which would improve the experience were that we found the bed little soft/ springy. A couple of small Pyrex bowls and a broom to sweep inside would be handy. Otherwise wouldn't change anything and would definitely book again!
The owner says "I have now purchased more mixing bowls and a broom as Mrs Holford suggested. We are often complimented on how well 'The Barn' is equipped but we are happy to add additional items if requested. I am sorry that you found the bed too soft. Property Owner
-
"Our second visit to "The Barn" and hopefully not our last."
As expected a very comfortable and relaxing stay with a wonderful welcome from our hosts and so pleased that all the extra touches in cottage followed all the new regulations hadn't taken away its home from home feel. Had a perfect break away from work and enjoyed the rest. Thanks again for welcome pack and my plants Loved our tour of garden and all the best for 2021 from E and B x Thanks again to Sarah, Murray and Victoria for your hospitality. PS the Royal Oak is a great pub next door no meals just yet but Dave the owner is very welcoming and even remembered our drinks.
-
"Our hosts Sarah and Murray were very welcoming,and could'nt have been more helpful."
The welcome pack was super.The barn was very comfortable,spotlessly clean and well equipped.Probably the best place we have stayed in,with an enclosed garden perfect for the dog.The pub next door was very friendly and had a great choice of real ales.Don't miss out on the tour of Sarah's amazing garden.All in all a wonderful week with lovely weather as a bonus.Hopefully we will be back.
-
"Lovely comfortable cottage with the village pub just over a little bridge with a stream where our little dog loved to paddle."
The Barn is cosy & clean & has everything you need with a well equipped kitchen & own back garden which is fenced off & safe for a dog. Big lounge with comfortable sofas, a table & chairs & leads on to a sun room. Lovely friendly easy going hosts who made us very welcome & were on hand if needed. Very thoughtful welcome pack as well which was much appreciated. We stayed the last week when restrictions we’re still in place so mostly went on walks to the sea areas.
-
"Lovely village."
Nice walks for the dog and us. Nice dog friendly cottage. Nice pub next door, nice beer, shame about the unfriendly landlord!!
-

"A very comfortable cottage, and friendly owners."
It is larger than the photographs suggest. It was clean and well-equipped. The cottage is in an ideal location for visits to historic Lincoln, the Wolds and Tennyson Country, the International Bomber Command memorial at Canwick, etc It would be helpful if the description included the information that, although the accommodation is on one floor, there is a large step up from the kitchen to the rest of the property.
-
"Our hosts were very friendly and helpful the Barn was warm and cozy and had everything you could need."
The welcome pack was very welcome and the bacon to die for .
-
"We had a restful time in a lovely barn conversion."
Great parking too.
-
"We have had a wonderful weeks holiday at the barn, the property is so clean and comfortable with all the amenities you could wish for."
Murray and his wife were very helpful, giving us information about the local area and places of interest and a welcome pack of provisions was a nice gesture. We had some good evenings in the pub next door, where the locals are very warm and friendly.
-
"An excellent location with fantastic hosts!"
Arrived to a warm friendly welcome and the best ever welcome pack. The barn has everything you need for a 5 star holiday in a wonderful setting, yet close to all amenities. The Royal Oak just across the stream was a real bonus, a traditional public house with very friendly locals. Can’t wait to return!
-
"The cottage was outstanding, the welcome pack was idea after a 500 mile drive, the quietness of the countryside was just what is called for, yet a short drive to the city of Lincoln or the seaside makes the cottage ideally situated."
-
"A perfect location in very generous accommodation."
The owners were very helpful and the welcome pack was great.
-
"The cottage was very clean and comfortable, with an enclosed lawned garden perfect for our dog."
The bonus was the lovely friendly pub next door, and a shop less than a mile away.
-
"Very comfortable and large cottage with every thing you need."
Fantastic welcome pack (a lot more then others give!) A big thank you to the owners Mr and Mrs Reid who were perfect hosts. Enjoyed coming back to cottage after a long day out to relax in the Sun room even on a cold April day. Snitterby village is small but the traditional pub the "Royal Oak" is next door just over the ford is very welcoming and friendly. The cottage is a great place as a base to visit Lincoln, RAF Coninsgsby, Gainsborough, Cleethorpes and lots more. Would recommend this cottage to everyone who wants peace and quiet without any compromise to comfort. Thanks again and hope your own garden is blooming.:-).
-
"Warm welcome by the cottage owners."

"Lovely cottage lovely hosts clean."

"We had a lovely stay at The Barn, peaceful and comfortable the Reids were very welcoming."
The photographs on the website do not do it justice, larger than appears and better furnishings. There is also a brand new washing machine which is not mentioned on the website. Would defiantly recommend The Barn to all. Many Thanks
-
"We were met by the owners daughter who showed us around and explained things to us also a amazing welcome pack, the owners were lovely people whom we also met, would recommend this property to anyone."
-
"A great base to explore Lincolnshire."
The cottage is much bigger than the pictures suggest, spotlessly clean with a great local pub at the end of the drive. Our hosts were very welcoming and able to give suggestions on things to do. Thanks for a great stay.

Your home away from home
The Barn is a former potato chitting barn, potatoes being a major crop in Lincolnshire.
It was for some time used as a garage, before being converted into a cottage. The original beams are retained, and double height in the lounge and bedrooms creates a feeling of spaciousness.
