  Jennie & Ian are fantastic hosts.

  Very friendly and personable. Nothing is too much trouble for them. We felt well looked after and catered for. They went above and beyond for us. The Gate House is a fabulous place to stay to recharge your batteries. Beautiful surroundings. Very interesting history. Inside it has everything you would ever need plus more! Beds & sofas comfortable. Linens, fixtures, fittings, all high quality. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Well stocked kitchen and lovely welcome basket of biscuits & Prosecco! Lots of spare items available such as batteries, plug charger and more. All the type of things you might forget to take away but would have in your own home. The clothes airers were great for towels after the hot tub. All of the cushions and throws in bedrooms and living areas were freshly washed for our stay. The underfloor heating was fab on bare feet! Hot tub brilliant and Jennie popped by to check the chemicals and top up during the week and did let us know first. As a family we had lots of fun in the games room. Karaoke, Air Hockey, Arcade Golf, Table Football plus other bits in the 'Hayloft'. Also board games and cards etc downstairs in living room with a massive coffee table to play them on! Property was secure all round. Outside in the glorious back garden alongside a prestigious hot tub was badminton, a BBQ stand, a lovely chairs and table, a pung pong table and plenty of accompanying bats, balls etc. On the doorstep a tranquil stroll through old church grounds and shops etc all a short car journey away. Being located in the middle of the UK map, it is an ideal location to visit lots of places such as Matlock Bath, Chesterfield, Nottingham and more. There was a really helpful guide folder in the Gatehouse we looked through for places to visit, which also had lots of helpful information eg Chemists, GPS, hospitals, vets, butchers, bakery, etc. By far the best family holiday we have had. Would definitely recommend!

  Hillcrest is such a lovely place.

  Firstly, Malcolm & Nicola are lovely hosts. Warm and friendly people who care about the people who stay at Hillcrest. The house was very comfortable. A welcome box of goodies awaits you to start you off on your stay. Hillcrest sports Super King beds in both bedrooms. Large comfortable lounge. Equipped with TV, DvD player & electric fire. Well equipped kitchen. There's everything you need to cook up any meal. A home from home. Bathroom + toilet is downstairs. Powerful shower over bath with bath/shower mixer tap. Very well heated, with central heating radiators in every room, can be set via local timer and one touch operation. Open the double patio doors from the lounge and invite in the hugh garden space with large lawn where children can play, or your pets can run about. Its bordered by a gravel driveway, leading down to double driveway gates. Space for multiple cars. Over all, Hillcrest is an outstanding place to stay. The peace and tranquility at Hillcrest wraps around you like a comfort blanket, you'll find hard to leave behind. Hillcrest is not too far from Gainsborough and Lincoln. We found the George pub at Kirton Lindsay is a good place for food. With plenty of other places around. Theres a small shop like a Spar or OneStop just a few miles away. Its good for picking up your smaller items like, milk, bread etc. We would for certain, recommend Hillcrest to others. We hope we can return soon.

  I had booked the Gatehouse for a family get together as a surprise for my husband’s birthday.

  The house was perfect. The bedrooms were beautifully laid out and the beds very comfortable. The downstairs open plan enabled everyone to be together and the kitchen was one of the best equipped I have seen in a holiday home. We were easily able to cook and serve an early Christmas dinner. The hot tub was an added bonus and the small games room in the attic would be ideal for families with children. The owner was easily contactable and very helpful. We much appreciated being able to bring our dogs. I would struggle to find any fault with this property: good position, clean, cosy with very efficient underfloor heating, comfortable, well appointed, beautifully decorated (we especially appreciated the Christmas trees and decorations) good secure garden for the dogs to play safely, even a wine fridge to keep our drinks cool. Our only tiny issue was in knowing how to operate the TV after the youngest members of our group went home but that’s a generation thing and not a problem with the TV. (Strangely our Jack Russell was terrified of the sound made by one of the remote controls so we gave up on that). I would definitely recommend the Gatehouse and hope to return some time next year. Thank you for a lovely weekend

  The weekend is something as a family we have needed.

  There was a beautiful welcome hamper on our arrival. Parking for 6 cars if needed. Our journey was difficult with the weather but the owner was on hand and gave us new directions with the flood. Once we were at the house we had the break away we all needed. The house is absolutely beautiful and equipped with everything you could need. Everything had been thought about to make our stay amazing and stress free. The beds are comfy and all rooms of a good size. We had 2 dogs with us and they were catered for too There is a file with information to help with your stay. The hot tub added to our stay and the games room. This break away enabled my children, partners and my husband and I to all be together and have precious family time after the difficult year we’ve had. The house gave space at times to be together or space for quiet time too. The walks are beautiful and plenty to suit everyone. I would recommend this house to people and we have actually all ready. We will hopefully be able to come back if it’s free for our next family break away.

  A delightful property which exceeded our already high expectations.

  Everything about the house was lovely. It was clean, spacious, well equipped and had a lovely welcoming feel to it. My children loved the games room where they spent time playing with the numerous games in there. The hot tub was also a big hit with us all. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog and also for the children to play in. They especially enjoyed the table tennis. There are lots of lovely walks within easy reach and it is a lovely area to explore in general. We had a fantastic day out at the nearby Go Ape in Sherwood Forest. Thank you to Jennie, the owner who had great communication and was extremely helpful. Hopefully we will be back sometime soon for another visit.
