The cottage is very homely and being just four of us, we used the main kitchen/ lounge room during our stay, rather than the separate spacious lounge. The bathrooms were well-appointed. This would be ideal for families with children/teens as the games room looked great, as did the lovely garden with two seating areas.

Loads of room for just two of us, but you could equally make it cosy with the well thought out lighting. Some places we visit are sufficient for a weekend, this house we could happily have lived in. Garden was secure for my little dogs and they enjoyed exploring. Would 100% look to return if in the area again.

The property was beautifully equipped and very comfortable and cosy. We both slept very well. The garden was also very pleasant to sit out in. The location was perfect for us and our visits around Lincolnshire. Would highly recommend.
