  We stayed at Little Owl in Sept 2019.

  The property was easy to find and in the middle of the beautiful flat landscape of Lincolnshire and 5 mins from Market Rasen. The property is wonderful, larger than it looked on the photos and spotlessly clean. The hallway has a section with coat hooks and a bench for changing footwear easily and plenty room for lots of shoes/boots. This leads to the main living area which is huge, plenty room for the open-plan living. The kitchen is well equipped with lots of little extras, including a very thoughtful Welcome Basket with bread, biscuits, tea, coffee, sugar etc. There is a huge fridge/freezer, dishwasher and easy to use oven/hob. There isn't a washing machine but there is a note to say that if you needed to do some washing then you may use their machine. As the photos show, each room has floor to ceiling windows which give amazing views of the surrounding fields and sky. The stars at night are a sight to be seen! The sitting area is comfortable and there is a TV and DVD player with a selection of DVDs to choose from, plus a box of games/toys for children. The Wi-Fi is useful but we often struggled to use our mobiles for calls unless we went outside. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds, cosy clean bedding and additional fleecy blankets if you are feeling chilly - although it was more than warm enough for us. Each bedroom has a walk-in toilet/shower wet room - very clean, warm and an abundance of fluffy towels. The grounds are very well kept and we had total privacy throughout our stay. One of the owners Nigel welcomed us on our arrival and, although their home is just a minutes walk away, they didn't bother us throughout our stay but we knew we could ask them for anything we needed. The surrounding area is very flat and great for cycling. We visited a lot of the local areas and used Market Rasen for shopping (large Tesco). This is a wonderful property and quiet location. We would highly recommend this to family and friends as a peaceful retreat and great place to stay for exploring Lincolnshire.

  We had a really lovely week away.

  We loved being out in the middle of nowhere but it was still easy accessible to get to places. The barn is well equipped, the owners live next door and are very helpful if you need anything or want to ask questions. We loved the open space in the kitchen/dining/lounge area. The bed was comfy, the pillows were fine, but I always take my own anyway as I particularly like it. It was plenty warm enough as it really warms up with the sun, so we turned the heating off, but there is a wood burner if it’s cold. The sliding door is quite noisy into the shower room if someone goes at night, but as there was only two of us we used the toilet in the other shower room in the night! We loved seeing the owls and hares. Our car is electric and Nigel really helpfully said there was an outside plug and we could use it to charge, so that was amazing. We did a lot of walking and cycling. Theres so much to see and do in Lincoln, it’s a beautiful city. We explored quite a lot of the local area in the week we were there. There’s good cycle paths from Mablethorpe along the coast, with some stretches on quite quiet country lanes, we went right out to Gibraltar Point which is a nature reserve, we’d liked to have been able to spend more time there. We also cycled along the cycle path from Lincoln to Woodhall Spa and back, it would be a great track to do with younger children as it’s not on roads. You can just go as far as you want. If you start at Woodhall Spa there’s a few pubs that you meet sooner than from Lincoln. A great week and well worth staying in Little Owl!

  A Barn Conversion Gem.

  We loved our stay, the property itself was a stunning blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The glass spiral staircase was a unique and eye catching feature that perfectly complemented the barn's original character. The property was spotless, spacious and so so comfortable. The interior design was impeccable with attention to detail in every corner which made it a perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring the surrounding countryside. The garden complete with a wildlife pound was a lovely place to sit and relax with a morning coffee. We had the gorgeous farm cats visit occasionally and they were ever so sweet. The owners ensured we had a great stay even proving a lovely welcome pack which included wine and chocolate. Overall our stay was a fantastic experience we couldn't fault it. The comfortable accommodation and thoughtful amenities made it a perfect place to escape and recharge; a little piece of heaven. We would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

  Owl Cottage is a beautiful barn conversion and is in a peaceful location.

  On arrival we found a very well thought out and generous food parcel for the whole family. The kitchen has everything you may need for a weeks stay and is a lovely open space to cook in with views of the fields. Comfortable and relaxing sofa and chairs. The woodburner provides excellent heat though only needed to use this once, the property is very well insulated so is very comfortable and warm. The double bedroom has blackout lining on the curtains and the twin bedroom has dark curtains and a blind, something I always hope for when staying in a cottage, the whole family slept well. The bathrooms are both beautiful and very clean. Outside there is a BBQ, seated area and private gravel garden. The property is very private, it is on a seperate drive from the owners property though close enough should you need to contact them. Nigel popped over when we arrived, appeared very helpful and a genuinely nice man. This cottage is definitely of a 5 star standard. A very perfect holiday, thank you.

  We stopped here in April for a week little owl was above and beyond what we expected .

  Nigel was just brilliant as the weather was that good he went a bought a BBQ to use during our stay . which of course we did and throughly enjoyed it . little owl is perfect it every way ,piece and quiet and calming outlook over the fields . where you can watch the local wild life ,such as Hares foxes ,birds and Nigel on his ride on mower . we loved every minute we spent at little owl and the surrounding area of Lincolnshire. the barn is finished to such a high standard ,we found it hard to leave . The two bedrooms with their en-suite facilities are beautiful and comfortable to use . We loved the open plan living space with the tiled floors and underfloor heating as it was great to cook and chat to our family members ,which makes it sociable with the open plan . . would we go back ! most definitely,probably during colder months to be able to make the most out of log burner and underfloor heating ,would be so cosy and homely. we miss this stunning place thank you Jane Lee
