What our customers say about their holidays

• Ian - Verified booking

  The property is ideally located for touring around (in my opinion, the best parts) a wide area of Lincolnshire.

  Despite being on a main road, it is very quiet; Even the dog kennel (fairly mentioned in the listing) was barely noticed! The property is well equipped, with a nice enough amount of character to distinguish it from the usual 'homes'. The enclosed area was ideal for the dog (although the PIR light was a little random) and for a 'very quick walk', the main garden is big enough to stretch the legs :) Inside was comfortable, with good lighting (both from window & lights). The Biomass boiler provides plenty output for the radiators - Even in December! The owner was happy to detail about the Biomass, which was fabulously interesting; also having a booklet in the welcome pack, detailing the 'eco-waste' system (albeit being a little discerning when considering products to use). However, it appears the heating goes off around 11pm, not to come back on until around 7am. Logical to some, but not what I expect on a 'holiday'. Although I heard little from the neighbouring property, one can hear the main house's bathroom (I suspect) on occasion, as well as some weird clonks (I think was the heating system). The only thing that did put me off returning was the housekeeping. Whilst everything appears in place, there seems little evidence of an actual 'professional' cleaning taking place between occupants. I actually left it cleaner than it was from the start, including the bathroom sink & fridge! Finally, a few more 'consumables', such as cooking oils etc would be nice; but a grey area since Covid...

  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 ]

  We were only the second guests to use Pats cottage and it was super.

  My wife is disabled and we therefore were restricted to bungalows but Jan found the cottage had a stair lift. We therefore had a very large lounge massive kitchen with annex and toilet, and upstairs only used at bedtime super bedroom and Hugh bathroom with toilet and shower and bath. All was to the highest standard. The gardens are lovely and have ample seating in different areas. This is by far the best Sykes cottage we have used and the hosts Anne and Martyn again by far the best we have met. Thank you. Jan and Neil Dyson

  Thank you for a lovely comfortable weekend stay.

  Despite stormy and blustery weather, we were cosy in the welcoming accommodation, and had everything we needed. The enclosed garden area and extensive rural grounds were perfect for our spaniel. We loved the vaulted bedroom and comfy bed, the well-equipped kitchen diner and lounge. The heating was just right. My only concern is the spiral staircase, which I slipped down wearing socks - the steps are very slippery. Otherwise really relaxing. Highly recommend a trip into Lincoln and also Hemswell Antiques Centre.
