What our customers say about their holidays

  This barn is secluded and peaceful,it has everything you need for a quite relaxing break, it is literally home from home,all you need is food.

  We did find that the water was different from our water up north/Manchester and it left a slimy residue in our black tea but it was still fine to drink,we decided to buy bottled water for our cups of tea. Their are 3 good size bedrooms,the shower in the bathroom have great water pressure and are lovely and hot,all towels and bedding are provided,the barn has underfloor heating in the kitchen which is constantly on and it also has full central heating. The upstairs living room has enough seating for 6 people. Our only faults were the tap on the sink in the upstairs bathroom is extremely noisy when turned on which could easily wake people up in the bedrooms either side, the floors upstairs do creak slot when walking about and as the bedroom downstairs is directly below the upstairs bedroom,you can hear people walking about in the night,we also had an infestation of ladybirds on the bedroom windows in both bedrooms, probably around 80 ladybirds on one single window in both bedrooms. We managed to stop them in the upstairs bedroom by putting tissue over the window vents but we couldn't pinpoint where they were getting into the downstairs bedroom. Overall this barn is a lovely place to stay with a little village 10 minutes down the rd with a small shop and pub. Everyone is also extremely friendly. Charles the owner gave us a phone call on our 1st night asking if we had settled in ok,which I found very nice. I would rate our stay in this barn at 9 out of 10

  Really lovely, comfortable cottage.

  Great location to explore the local area and a really comprehensive guidebook provided by the owner with lovely photos, recommendations of places to eat, local village guides and suggestions for trips out. We particularly enjoyed a trip to Woodall Spa followed by a drive to Sutton on Sea for fish and chips. We were a little taken aback by the layout of the cottage - the lack of internal access (although the walkway was covered) to one of the bedrooms and bathrooms was a surprise. This probably needs mentioning in the listing as this would not be suitable for everyone, especially those with younger children. The cottage was lovely and clean and well maintained although there were lots of flies upstairs and hundreds of ladybirds around all the window frames on arrival. The kitchen had everything we needed and was well stocked with crockery and glassware. Bedrooms were comfortable and plenty of towels were left. The owner rang the day after we arrived to check we had everything we needed. Although dogs are welcome at this property, they aren’t allowed into the sitting room which is upstairs. The owner informed us of this after we arrived and again, I feel this needs mentioning on the website as it wouldn’t suit everybody to leave the dog alone in the kitchen. Overall, a really comfortable stay in an area we will definitely return to.

  Granary Loft.

  .... What can we say! A wonderful break for us all, including Harley our Collie cross Labrador. Helen and Peter made us feel realy welcome and at home, they loved Harley! The milk and Daffodils were an added bonus, beautiful. It was above and beyond our expectations, lovely and peaceful, with plenty of walks nearby, including the Viking way, about a hundred yards or so from our front door! Everything was clean and tidy and warm as well, all the amenities you could wish for a welcome break. A very comfortable queen size bed to rest our weary heads, after a busy day exploring. Many lovely villages to visit and superb ale houses which also provided excellent beer and food. Not far to travel to Belvoir Castle and the Grantham canal. We were so laid back we were horizontal, a superb place for our two week break and plenty of space for Harley to run and play. The weather was pants, but we were warm and dry, a wonderful place for a real break from the hussle and bussle of the busy world in which we now live. We shall definitely book again and are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you so much Helen and Peter. God bless you. Nick and Margaret.

  From The Netherlands we wished to visit the Lincoln area.

  We booked quite late in the holiday season and expected not to find a quality cottage. However.....we found this: Pat's cottage (old rectory annexe). This was over our expectations! The room was very clean, the cottage very roomy offering that good kitchen (3 stoves!!), that large living room and the very large bathroom with shower and bath plus the very goodsized bedroom and bed. Everything looked new or newish, definitely no poor or damaged materials and inside the cottage there was very much daylight. Yes we were very happy with the cottage. Also happy we were with the owners. They are very kind and helpfull, they do communicate very well, they advise very good, and we felt very free to do whatever we wished there. The cottages plot is very green and very quiet with lots of unexpected birds and animals that have their habitat in the area. Yes, this was very, very good and much better than wehad expected! So can we advise? YES........YES OF COURSE! Loes and Ton Kramer from Zaandam, Netherlands.

  We greatly enjoyed our stay at Pat's Cottage.

  Dream accommodation! Everything we could possibly want - property was spacious, clean, lovely decor, wonderful bathroom, kitchen facilities. The owners were super friendly very kind and welcoming and bent over backwards to be helpful with anything we wanted. We'd like to visit again if/when opportunity arises - Lovely part of Lincolnshire too - peaceful surroundings, large garden, lawns, landscape etc [ only one minor comment, and we've made this known to owners, that on arrival one doesn't at first realise that Pat's Cottage sits BEHIND the Old Rectory....you can't see it when you drive in at the entrance, so we think it could do with some sort of signage, visible from the gravel drive when you arrive by car - such as an arrow pointing to the cottage on the end of the garage block, though not on the front gate of driveway, as owners concerned about security and privacy ]
