  Granary Loft.

  .... What can we say! A wonderful break for us all, including Harley our Collie cross Labrador. Helen and Peter made us feel realy welcome and at home, they loved Harley! The milk and Daffodils were an added bonus, beautiful. It was above and beyond our expectations, lovely and peaceful, with plenty of walks nearby, including the Viking way, about a hundred yards or so from our front door! Everything was clean and tidy and warm as well, all the amenities you could wish for a welcome break. A very comfortable queen size bed to rest our weary heads, after a busy day exploring. Many lovely villages to visit and superb ale houses which also provided excellent beer and food. Not far to travel to Belvoir Castle and the Grantham canal. We were so laid back we were horizontal, a superb place for our two week break and plenty of space for Harley to run and play. The weather was pants, but we were warm and dry, a wonderful place for a real break from the hussle and bussle of the busy world in which we now live. We shall definitely book again and are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you so much Helen and Peter. God bless you. Nick and Margaret.

  25 March - 1 April 2023 Initially the accommodation appeared dated and a bit tired but it may be this which led to it feeling a most comfortable, cosy and welcoming place.

  Comfortable bed, good reading lights in both sitting room and bedroom. Well equipped kitchen (although solid electric hot plates took some getting used to after an induction hob at home) AND..........a TV which didn't take the mind of an scientist to discover how to change channels! It was unfortunate that my visit was soon after an unsucessful roof repair which, as there was quite a bit of rain, resulted in a wall in the sitting room being damp: I have a keen sense of smell so for me it was the only real downside to this accommodation. Lovely friendly welcome from the owner plus the provision of delicious lemon drizzle cake, milk, coffee & teabags. Close to RSPB Frampton Marsh and RSPB Freiston Shore plus lots to see in Boston (The Stump, Guildhall & Fydell House) although in my opinion the shopping centre was a bit run down. The Village Church Farm in Skegness was also worth visiting. I enjoyed & was very satisfied with my stay at Le Chalet and hope to return again - when the roof is repaired!!

  Excellent accommodation, with everything we needed.

  Comty seating, comfy bed, nice shower. Very friendly hosts. Great communication beforehand. Enjoyed sitting in the garden, which is set in peaceful surroundings. The dog got use of the paddock for zoomies (he was gutted to come home lol!) The Viking way path to the airfield is good dog walk, but it is quite overgrown in places, after the rain we got a bit soggy! Belton House, Lincoln ( dog friendly cathedral) and Stamford town all worth a visit. A smart TV would be a good addition. Football was on (grrr) so nothing much to watch on the 'normal' channels. There's a DVD player, I didn't see it on the listings or I'd have took some DVDs. There's also a small Freezer which was a bonus. Very enjoyable holiday in beautiful surroundings, ideal for a relaxing holiday.

  The property was much more spacious than expected and set in lovely grounds.

  It was lovely to sit either in the lounge or outside and appreciate the birds and squirrels within the garden. Our dog loved the decked area to sit out on and soak up the September sunshine. The choice of bath and shower was lovely and the WiFi was a real bonus. The toiletries and amount of towels couldn’t be faulted, neither could the teabags, coffee, milk and bottles of water left in the kitchen. A couple of suggestions for improvement are more coat hangers in the wardrobe and a hairdryer. A more defined and secure area for a dog would be good as the garden is open plan and shared with the owners. In general it’s a very nice place to have a relaxing break away. We hope to return next year.

  We have just spent a wonderful, relaxing week at Granary Loft.

  Helen and Peter are lovely hosts, friendly and helpful, but never intrusive. We really appreciated the welcome gift of a carton of milk and flowers. Granary Loft has everything you need for a perfect stay. It is warm, clean, and spacious with a fabulously big and comfortable bed! It was a great base to return to after exploring the local area. There are several National Trust properties nearby: the beautiful Belton Estate, Woolsthorpe Manor ( the home of Sir Isaac Newton) and The Workhouse and Infirmary. They are all very interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Lincolnshire and our week at Granary Loft and plan to return in the near future. Caroline and Kevin
