  We stayed here for 2 nights with our dog and from the moment we got there we had the best time.

  We were a little apprehensive about going away during the pandemic but Barbara had gone absolutely above and beyond to make the stay as clean and safe as possible. She communicated from a safe "contact-free" distance, and had a complete checklist of all the cleaning and extra measures she had put in place. The whole cottage was absolutely spotless and beautifully decorated. Barbara was such a lovely host and told us to let her know if there was anything we needed but the cottage had everything we needed and more, which made it a really comfortable home away from home. Handy parking on the drive made it hassle free for unloading bags and the beautiful secure garden was great for our dog. There are some great walks from the cottage that take you straight out in to the countryside that our dog loved. Only 30 mins drive to the Lincolnshire coast too! Thank you for a lovely stay!

  I started writing this review on our first night of our stay.

  What a beautiful place Barn End is, it accommodated myself, partner and both of our younger children (4 & 1) who were both excited throughout our stay. Stove lit upon arrival which gave it a cozy feel, generous supply of logs for the burner and more if needed. It really is a special place with plenty of room, it was alot bigger then expected. Easy to get around and they've really thought of everything. It has EVERYTHING you could possibly need. With only a very short 14 minute drive to the city centre your closer than you think. Host was absolutely lovely and made my children very welcome and even put on some Christmas lights which they wouldn't stop watching. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and I'm currently looking at booking our next stay.

  Stayed at this lovely little cottage which had everything you needed for your stay.

  Decorated to a very high standard and super clean when we arrived! Cosy and well looked after little sitting out area which is part slabbed, part grass which was just enough for our little Jack Russell. The location is in a nice little village with a pub just a stroll away but the best part of this holiday though was the fantastic host, Barbara. She was the best host we've ever come across and nothing was too much for her. Regularly checking to make sure we had everything we needed. Really enjoyed talking to her across the fence in the evenings whilst trying to introduce my little monster dog to her gorgeous new puppy. Such a pleasant and genuine person! I'd highly recommend this place and we are definitely gong back there again! Absolute 5 Star!

  The Old Bakers Shop is a ideal accommodation for 2 people.

  The furnishings are comfortable and the kitchen has everything you require. There is also a file provided with instructions on how the appliances work (something many hosts do not provide. They just assume you'll know). A freezer is available although not in the accommodation but in an outhouse at the side of the property. There are some lovely walks from the accommodation with information provided. The local pub, the Blue Bell, is 2 mins walk away. When we stayed in April/ May, opening times were limited (like many pubs in the area)however that may change during the summer. Barbra the host, lives next door and is on hand if required but does not intrude on your time. We would highly recommend this accommodation.

  This little cottage conversion was just beautiful.

  Spotlessly clean, with lovely soft towels and bedding, and very comfortable beds! The crockery and utensils were first class. Heating excellent with no restrictions, (not that we needed it), the weather being exceptionally mild! Hot water plentiful, and the ‘over the bath’ shower is the best I’ve ever experienced!! Barbara, the host, was welcoming and not at all intrusive. The local pub, two minutes stroll away, was nice with good food. Walks on the Viking Way accessible from any direction in the village. It’s dog friendly with a small but secure garden. We really enjoyed our stay at The Old Bakers Shop, and will definitely return again. Top quality!
