  Beautiful little terraced cottage.

  Decor throughout is so lovely. Ideally positioned for visiting the cathedral quarter of Lincoln, with its cathedral, castle, cafes, wine bars and restaurants. Kitchen well equipped, modern and easy to use. Having two bathrooms is great - one on both floors. Bedrooms are comfortable and spacious. Two big sofas in the lounge made relaxing in the evening very comfortable. The only thing that was a challenge is the parking. The parking permit is super helpful but trying to park near the cottage was a challenge and I did not feel totally comfortable with not having the car nearby. Car was fine in the end and I’m not sure what the owners can do about such busy parking - perhaps negotiate with the windmill owners to see if they can rent a space in their unused car park and have a key entry system so that it remains private? It didn't impact our holiday at all. Would definitely book again.

  Initially looked lovely, bright and airy.

  Unfortunately the property in our opinion wasn’t that clean. The fridge needed a good clean with food left in the freezer. The cutlery and some of the pans required a good scrub. The duvet cover in the main bedroom looked shabby with pulls in the material and could do with being replaced. There were a lot of cobwebs and spiders on the windowsills and skylights. Outside offered an enclosed garden which was great for the dogs however the grass was overgrown, the owner said on our arrival that he would be back in a day or two to cut but unfortunately this didn’t happen. On a positive the weather was great during our stay so the garden furniture was appreciated. The owners left a note in the property about the sap from the tree which is in the allotted parking area so you’ll need to be mindful when parking up unless you want to wash the sticky sap off every day.

  Fantastic little cottage in the heart of Saxilby.

  Excellent location with local shops, eateries and pub in easy walking distance. The train station is a 3 min walk from the door and you can get a train to Lincoln in 12 minutes. Very reasonable cost at £9.70 return for our family of 5. The cottage itself was beautiful. Exceptionally clean and tidy. A good array of books, games and 2 smart tvs kept the kids entertained. Nice outside area which we didn't get chance to use as only here for a short stay. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything you would need to cook a nice meal. It was extremely hot when arrived on Friday and the owners very thoughtfully came and dropped off some fans to help keep cool. These were very welcome as it was over 30 degrees. I would highly recommend the cottage and would very much like to revisit the area for longer in the future and would not hesitate in returning here.

  We chose the property for its location.

  Very close to Lincoln, with a regular bus service into the town, castle etc. Also a pub within walking distance that does food, and several others close by. Well located for other attractions, airfields, NT properties, and even the coast only around an hours drive away. Particularly impressed by the Woodside Wildlife Park so close and several small nature reserves and walks. The weather was not too good, so no problem for us, but the outside of the property was just a scrubby area of weeds and broken tree branches, with just one small folding wooden seat, so we could not have sat outside had the weather been better. The property itself was fine, well equipped and well arranged in a smallish space, had everything we needed. We personally struggled a little with the small bed, which unfortunately we both found not very comfortable. Nigel and Charlotte.

  A gem of a cottage tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac near the centre of a large village with lots of amenities (shops and pubs) close by.

  Perfectly situated for travelling into Lincoln with a train station about 5 minutes walk away. The property itself is clean, airy and comfortable with a good patio area suitable for al fresco dining. Beds are very comfortable and bathroom and kitchen facilities excellent. We much appreciated a welcoming bottle of wine, flowers, plum loaf and cheese - a nice touch. Our stay coincided with a notable drop in temperature and we did struggle a bit to cope with the heating controls for which clearer instructions and/or a simpler method of operation would have been welcome. The gas boiler also emitted a slight whining noise when running. Other than that, The Stable was everything we wanted for our weekend away and we unhesitatingly recommend it to other travellers.
