• "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.

• "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.

  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.

• "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.

• "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!

• "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.

  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

  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.

• "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.

  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.

  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
