  Arch cottage is wonderful, it’s so spacious and the location is amazing.

  It was very well equipped, beautifully clean, beds where very comfy, showers where nice and hot and plenty of hot water for 8 ladies. Our only gripe is the two front bedrooms are cold, there is only one portable heater, we really needed one in each room. Also we where there for Lincoln market weekend and couldn’t park outside the property as the roads are barricaded off and the security staff could not let us through, however they where amazing, they helped us unload our two cars and took it to the cottage and the same when we left. We had to park our cars on a nearby sports ground. There is a permit in the cottage for 1 veh to park in nearby car park but didn’t see it until after. None of the above spoilt our weekend though and would definitely return to this lovely cottage. The fridge had some lovely goodies left for us by the owner which was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. Thank you

  A wonderful old mill house, with 4 large bedrooms (2 ensuite).

  Warm and comfortable, lots of parking. The host was amazing and left lots of goodies and was very helpful and friendly. This property was perfect for us, working in the area for the week, and good value for money. Directions could be a bit better. Hard to find in the dark, and the small sign to the property not visible from the main road. Google took us past the layby turning. I chose the smaller upstairs bedroom because it had a bedside table and lamp. This would be nice in all bedrooms. Kitchen could be better supplied: no washing up liquid, no spare bin bags (although the host provided these when asked), only one dishwasher pod, no kitchen roll and let down by very poor frying pans, with burnt bottoms. These need replacing really. Wifi was good, and house was wonderfully warm. The hot water was always plentiful, I think we only needed the boost once. Thank you for a great stay

  Please if we are back in Lincoln can we stay again we loved it :-).

  Such a refreshing change from many homes that are no more than a commercial venture. Plenty of character, well furnished, nicely prepared, easy access and a surprise welcome pack in the fridge to get you going. We didn't have time to visit all the great places due to a 90th birthday celebration but managed to squeeze in the cathedral and a whistle stop castle visit, which was fine as it was only at the end of the road. Having a pub over the road allowed us to tag in and out on baby sitting duties for one of the evenings and the 3 year old was fascinated that her bed was over the pathway tunnel. The local history is fascinating and we felt privileged to be allowed to stay in a building with such a connection to that old history (and had fun working out the changes that had happened over the years) We genuinely hope to have reason to visit Lincoln and stay here again.

  The cottage is a fascinating and historical building in a unique location.

  The interior is decorated, furnished and equipped in a manner that takes account of its historical nature, but also takes account of modern needs for comfort and activities. The interior is adorned with period artefacts. On the other hand the technology and facilities, from WiFi and TV to kitchen and bathrooms are right up-to-date. The location is ideal for walking exploration of Lincoln city, a beautiful and fascinating place. A round trip on the city tour bus is a good idea early on in your stay. From this you can plan and prioritise more leisurely sight seeing. The parking mentioned in another feedback is most convenient and we had no problem in safely using it for our VW Golf. It might be a bit tight for a very big car, but a nearby alternative is also available. Altogether, a splendid holiday.

  We stayed as a couple with another couple for our son's 2020 law graduation (a year late!

  ) and had a great time. The house is perfectly positioned for the Cathedral and the Castle and Lincoln is absolutely beautiful. It was very well equipped, we chose a 3+ bedroomed house our son joined us for two days. There is a lovely garden with three seating areas, very private but great for watching the world go by too! If I had to make any criticism it would be the beds. There are four doubles and one single. The doubles are just too small for a couple, ok I know they are designed for a couple but having a super king at home and most people, I guess, having a king size they are just too small! There is room for a king size in three of the rooms. Otherwise it is a lovely and we all had a fantastic time.
