"A super property in a good location for a peaceful holiday."
Owners were really helpful and extremely thoughtful ( hot weather so we were given extra fans etc).
We loved the way the property had been furnished, real care and attention had been paid to detail. Equipment was of the best quality.

"What a wonderful place to stay, the house and location are idyllic."
The facilites are spot on, lots of little details have been considered. Great communication from Nic before we arrived with information about the area and places if interest. We really appreciated the welcome pack.
Our highlights were listening and watching the birds, a fleeting glance of the kingfisher and Kestrel flying overhead. Plenty of walks nearby and just a 20 min walk along the river to the friendly The White Hart with local beer. A great place to stay and we hope to return in the future.

"The Pump house forge was so much better than all the self catering premises we have stayed in over the years."
A perfect renovation to a high standard, with Quirky and appealing furnishings. Very comfortable king size bed. High quality bedding and towels and extremely clean. With electric closing blinds and velux windows and special lighting which was remote control ( took us a while to work it out ) The information on the history of the pump house and local area with maps was also excellent.
The welcome box was also 5 star with special bread and biscuits milk Wine beer and butter and milk was a lovely surprize. The garden patio was small but with a larger garden to the rear was also available with chairs to relax . This property is tucked away and very peaceful with access to many walks along the river. The owners were on site and would have been available if required. A small minor detail the sofa was quite small and not very comfortable for a tall chap. we had a lovely holiday and would recommend to friends.

"We had a very comfortable and relaxing week in a superb conversion in an amazing location."
Everything had been thought through and the owners were welcoming and approachable.
We would definitely recommend this peaceful retreat as a perfect place to get away from it all!

"Wow what a wonderful place to stay in."
The cottage was spotlessly clean, very well equipped, lovely and warm.
Nic the owner very friendly and helpful but not intrusive.
Loads of walks from the doorstep including a lovely river walk to Gainsborough and canal walks. We walked around 80 miles over the week.
Would highly recommend.

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Forge, it has been fabulously renovated and is equipped to a very high standard, it is in an area we had not previously explored and there was lots to see both locally and a little further afield."
We appreciated the generous supply of goodies that were left by Nic and Claire the lovely owners.

"Fully agree why this property rates 5 stars."
Would give more if possible. Warm welcome by owner on arrival lovely welcome essentials pack.
Unique wonderful property history and conversion of The forge and carpenters building.
First time for us to this area but looking forward to a return soon, local pubs and restaurants within walking distance. Visited Lincoln 45 minutes away lovely city and Bawtry 10 minutes drive from The forge is lovely. Thanks for a memorable week.

"OUTSTANDING."
Exceeds expectations. Listing doesn't do it justice. Everything to a high standard and you are still noticing clever touches days into your stay. Best compliment I can give is that I could move in tomorrow and change almost nothing. Owners couldn't be more helpful. Great walking around the area and saw 2 kingfishers - one on the canal and the other on the river.

"Having visited the Pump House Forge in June this year enjoyed both the property and the area, we decided on a return visit and loved it just as much this time."
The property is interesting has everything one needs, is really cosy and there are plenty of local walks or places a bit further away for walking or visits. Also a lot of places to eat and drink so now it's back to the gym! Thanks Nic and Claire.

"Everything was excellent."
It was comfortable, modern, designer level and clean. Nothing had been overlooked and everything done to a perfect level. Setting was great with walks and town visits nearby. Owners were friendly. The only thing to take up with Sykes is that initially I had filtered for the Peak District and this property came up, yet it is 50+ miles to the edge of that district. In the end this did not matter and we enjoyed discovering the local area and Lincolnshire so no regrets.

"We have used many Sykes properties and by far this has been the best."
We were met by Nic who showed us around the property pointing out useful tips. It was like walking into a show property at the Ideal Home Exhibition. I could go on and on praising this property, but all I can say now is if you are thinking of booking here, do it you won't be disappointed.

"A fabulous property, wonderful host(s) and interesting area with lots to do."
Nic ( we didn't meet Claire) tailored a welcome pack to our tastes, showed us round and explained everything and went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and as the weather was hot and sunny the outdoor space - patio and garden were welcome. Nic even provided a Dyson cooling fan and a sheet as the duvet was superfluous. It was not an area we had visited before and provided excellent walks, places to visit and some reasonably priced pubs with good food. A wonderful stay and a privilege to borrow such an interesting renovation.

"The Pump House Forge is a beautifully restored & renovated former forge that once served the two former steam driven pumping stations."
The owners, Nic & Claire couldn't be more helpful.

"I watched The Forge in its stages of renovation when staying at the wonderful “Ada” last July."
I knew I wanted to stay at The Forge later this year.
And then suddenly I had time to come in the spring…..I felt rather special to be the first guest!
What a glorious metamorphosis!
As stylish as “Ada” but with the same attention to quality and design.
Plus a view across the Mother Drain to “Ada”………
Nic and Claire are to be congratulated on another brilliant project and again I must thank them for sharing their amazing home.
