The property's location is highly regarded for its tranquillity, beautiful countryside views, and proximity to Lincoln and local attractions. Some minor concerns about overgrown walks slightly affect the score.
Guests find the accommodation comfortable, with a few noting the spaciousness and well-furnished aspects. However, taller individuals mention some discomfort with the shower due to the sloping roof.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the presence of a balcony. Some guests experienced issues with the shower and mentioned a lack of certain kitchen items, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance.
While guests mention receiving eggs and potatoes from the hosts, there is no consistent reference to gifts or additional thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
Beautiful one bedroom converted studio apartment, in a peaceful and tranquil location, with stunning views of the Lincolnshire countryside and overlooking the remains of Barlings Abbey. Sat on the Viking Way, this property has bridleways and footpaths right on the doorstep. Sleeping up to two people, the apartment is perfect for couples and lone travellers who wish to get out to explore the country and participate in outdoor activities. Accessed by large stone steps, guests are greeted with a warm and cosy feel as they enter the property. Guests can relax with their favourite television programme or book in the sitting area or by opening the doors to the beautiful balcony, where you can take in the fabulous views of the countryside.

Outside of the apartment, guests are free to wander around the grounds of Ferry House Farm, with the owner happy for guests with horses to use the stables and ride in one of the four fields situated nearby.

Dark skies at night with few lights visible. Very helpful owners were around if you needed them but otherwise left us to ourselves. Would definitely consider a return sometime.

Itâs a deceptively spacious studio apartment with a separate bathroom and walk-in wardrobe with a fabulous view overlooking the remains of Barlings Abbey. Our hosts were friendly and helpful. Heartily recommended.
Julie
Everything was perfect from location, cleanliness , comfort and provisions. We could have stayed there for a month! It was the perfect place to rest after coming down with a chest cold. Wonderful, recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay with views over the countryside and ancient Abbey ruins. We will definitely come back again on our next trip from Canada. Thankyou to our hosts Carole and Jon we had an amazing stay.
