  This is a lovely cottage, there are good aspects of it, some excellent but also some not so good.

  It is beautiful to look at, well positioned and in a great location. Everything we needed was close by. Like another review, we also had difficulty getting in when we arrived and as it was raining hard it was annoying. The key safe box is really stiff and trying to get the gate open was awkward only to realise the lock doesn't catch so it wasn't locked anyway! The rooms are well laid out, the kitchen is extremely well equipped, lovely big fridge, big enough freezer. T-towels, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid the list of what is provided for goes on. And the welcome box was a lovely bonus. Lounge was great, very relaxing, cozy with two dogs but other than sit and watch TV with a cuppa or G&T what else do you need. We found the house a bit chilly and felt damp on arrival but maybe had been empty previous to us being there, put the heating on and warmed up eventually. Upstairs, lovely big bedroom (we didn't use the other one), bed really comfy. We couldn't get the TV to work upstairs as there wasn't a signal which was a bit odd. There were a couple of not so good bits, the bathroom tiles were a bit grim with black mould in the grouting, you can actually see it in the photos but don't realise until you get in the shower. The bathroom blind broke and had to stay down for our stay. The most disappointing bit is the outside, the enclosed garden is just the courtyard, we had expected as it was dog friendly that we would have a grass area where we could let the dogs into and as ours won't "go" on the patio we had to take them out on leads to the front for their toilets. I should have realised when I read the listing so I take responsibility for this but just offering as a warning to others if they have fussy dogs. I didn't like the view from the courtyard which is of a rough old bit of land looking at a run down building with broken windows, a higher fence or something would take the edge of that eyesore.

  Lovely property, great host and a lovely welcome.

  Kitchen had everything I needed to cook and clean up with fab views across the fen. Comfy sofas and cosy cottage vibes with lots of space for us 2. Good size fridge freezer and dish washer. Clear welcome information. The neighbours are close but very quiet. Very much appreciated the welcome pack (especially as I hadn't packed any tassimo pods). There were a couple of issues Ian flagged on arrival but they didn't cause us any problem and Ian was very efficient fixing what he could. If you are bothered by light when you sleep you might want to bring an eyemask or use one of the baby blackout blinds on the bedroom windows as the sun will shine in as Lincolnshire lives up to its reputation of big skies. Location wise it is on a main road but not a lot of road noise. Good size driveway. Not far from Louth which is good for shopping with excellent butchers, bakers and green grocers with local produce. It is not far to the sea. Sutton on Sea is lovely and we picked up every thing needed for a picnic at the near by Sandilands, with good access to the promenade and beach (recently come under national trust and had 2 hours free parking for all- members can get a ticket for free until March 2025 from the snack van- great toilets and accessible facilities if you have a blue badge. Lincoln is just under an hour across the Wolds. Hope to visit again when next in the area.

  We have just returned from a week at this fabulous holiday home.

  The garden is exceptional and completely secure - I think the dogs thought their Christmases had come all at once with the amount of space to run around in. It also has multiple seating areas, a BBQ, and the hot tub was an absolute bonus and loved by us humans. Only things to note are you have no back door directly for access into the garden, but this isn't an issue at all as it is a short distance from the door to gate and it is completely secure, and we were unlucky that the mosquitoes were out in force so make use of the repellent in the house. The hosts are on hand if you need them but very respectful and you have complete privacy if you choose. Louise was very kind to agree to allow us into Lincoln one day, leaving the dogs behind for a couple of hours which exceeded our expectations. The living area is cosy and we made good use of the log burner. The Co-op across the road was ideal for last minute bits. We had lovely walks through Rimac Nature Reserve and other local areas. We also must recommend Appleby's for their delicious ice cream. It was a lovely peaceful holiday made perfect by this wonderful cottage.

  This was a lovely comfortable and well appointed lodge.

  In general, it was clean and well looked after. Previous reviews had mentioned that the kitchen was a bit worn, but for us, only the fridge was looking a bit tired. The seating, appliances, and electrical items were all fine and in good condition. One minor grumble was the absence of any sort of welcome book with details of how to use everything …. The underfloor heating (superb) had at least 4 different timer/thermostats that Stephen Hawking would have had difficulty with, as there were no instructions . On arrival, we were disappointed to be told that the hot tub had an electrical fault…..however this was remedied rapidly so that we could use it. The grounds were well kept and tidy, and it was lovely a peaceful in the area. Lincoln was only 6 miles away…..but be warned…2 of the main routes into the city had just commenced road works expected to be long lasting (Mid April 24) and it took 50 minutes to cover those miles ! Not the fault of the property though !

  Enjoyed our stay at the old Rectory, decorated to a high standard and in a great location.

  It took a short while to work out how to get in (through the gate and two locks on the kitchen door) and when it snowed/rained it was a bit squelchy underfoot near the gate. Large comfortable sofas, just a tad too low for our old knees! Bed very comfortable indeed and the shower worked very well. Constantly having to straighten the lounge rug under the coffee table, it wrinkled at the slightest movement. The welcome box had some great things in it, much appreciated. The heating worked very well with a Nest thermostat in the kitchen which mostly tracked our needs. We mostly ate out but cooked a little on the very large complicated range which we never found the instructions for but managed to work out. The wifi was mostly reliable although we noticed it restarted a couple of times during our stay. The cottage yard was very dog friendly and no doubt is a lovely suntrap in the summer months.
