  We stayed a week in this accommodation and had a good stay.

  We chose here as it was dog friendly, having bowls, towels and treats provided for our dog. The welcome items were much appreciated - plumb bread was lovely. The accommodation was homely, very clean (see comment below), with fresh smelling bed linen and towels . The kitchen had everything we needed and the kitchen items and appliances were good quality. This is a good base for visiting the surrounding area. We enjoyed stopping by at RAF Coningsby to watch the Typhoon fighter jets practice. For us, there were a couple of things that although didn’t spoil our stay, could have been slightly improved. The carpet in the hall and lounge, although clean was stained in various places so could do with a clean. There is a glazed door to the double bedroom which has a net across it for privacy but this also lets in light. I would have preferred a solid door or maybe paint over the glass panes? Blackout blinds in the bedrooms would be good - I’m used to sleeping in real darkness. This was not too bad for this time of year but would be a problem during the summer months. The tumble dryer kept stopping and upon inspection the water tray was full and the filter was very thick with fluff- maybe check a bit more often as this could cause a fire. Lastly, the accommodation is on a road that does get busy at times with lorries and heavy vehicles which can be noisy and this also scared our dog when walking on the pavement outside. As I have said, this are just little niggles but not a massive problem and others would probably not find these matters a bother at all. A nice stay in Lincolnshire was had, the local people are very friendly and I had a brief chat with the owner prior to the visit who was equally cheery.

  Our 5th stay at Roselle and we still love this little cottage so much!

  It really is such a welcoming home from home. I honestly don't understand some of the other reviews leaving negative comments about it. It isn't fancy and may be a little worn in places but it's to be expected from a rustic cottage in the countryside - it would be awful and lose so much charm if it became a shiny show home. Roselle is simple and homely - the perfect base for exploring the area or relaxing for the day. Our 3 dogs and 7 year old son are so happy when we're there. When you arrive there's always a lovely welcome - it has become a tradition for us now to always have a slice of Lincolnshire plum loaf and a cup of tea when we get there. We finally made it to Thorpe Camp across the road during this trip and highly recommend it - it's only open on Sundays in off season and also Wednesday during the Summer. It's way bigger inside than we expected, we spent three hours there. So fab having it just across the road and we'll definitely go again! The cottage is also brilliant if you love wildlife and stargazing - the skies are incredible at night, and we also loved watching the bats swoop about. The lavender in the front garden is incredible at this time of year - as is the whole garden. The woodland across the road is wonderful - we love our twice daily walks in the woods. Thank you again to Jo for opening up her lovely cottage and it's gorgeous garden. See you again soon!

  Our 8th stay, and what can I say - Roselle is a real home from home.

  It's a very special place, my family and I love spending time there. It's very dog friendly and safe for our 3 dogs. One of them is 16, deaf and blind and he loves to wander around the garden enjoying all of the smells. It has everything you need, plenty of pots and pans, towels etc. I will also note here for anyone reading previous reviews that there have been lots of updates including; comfortable new carpets, a new shelf in the shower, a hairdryer in the bedroom, and an extra fence separating the patio which we found handy for night times when letting the dogs out. It was, as always, spotlessly clean - including the oven! It's the perfect spot for nature lovers and stargazers - I spent a lot of time in the garden watching the buzzards, swallows, bats, butterflies and dragonflies and took the most incredible images of the meteor shower that happened during our stay. Thank you Mike for a wonderful holiday.

  Really good location .

  Easy to visit places we wanted to see . The cottage was clean . Everything we needed was there . Nice welcome pack . Nice enclosed garden for the dogs . Only negatives . The shower very intermittent . Hot water in the kitchen tap very slow . ( think there might be a pressure problem ) Smell in the twin bedroom ( stale urine ? ) not pleasant . I always take an air freshener with me because we have 2 dogs so kept using that to try to mask it . Bedroom carpets look grubby . They are plain cream so unforgiving colour to have when dogs visiting , We enjoyed our stay , the area and the people are lovely . Visited the museum opposite which is open on Sundays . Very interesting . The bluebell in is good for food , lovely staff and the dogs were very welcome . Lots of history .

  Here you have a hidden Golden Gem, a beautiful home and then on top of that the bonuses of the Gardens, off road parking and the secluded location to relax , unwind , be surrounded by nature .

  Roselle , is like walking in to your own home , warm and welcoming . The comfort of the living room to the well appointed kitchen, modern bathroom with power shower , set you up for your holiday. The summer house and gardens are a joy, and whilst sitting in your private world, you can enjoy nature in the sunshine . The dog loved the gardens , local walks and the dog friendly beeches half an hour away ... Our days flew past, and reluctantly it was time to go ... I am jealous of those who follow us here, we plan to return as soon as possible !! I thank the owners for all their hard work and letting us share their family home . Our holiday has been delightful . Thank You .
