  This barn is secluded and peaceful,it has everything you need for a quite relaxing break, it is literally home from home,all you need is food.

  We did find that the water was different from our water up north/Manchester and it left a slimy residue in our black tea but it was still fine to drink,we decided to buy bottled water for our cups of tea. Their are 3 good size bedrooms,the shower in the bathroom have great water pressure and are lovely and hot,all towels and bedding are provided,the barn has underfloor heating in the kitchen which is constantly on and it also has full central heating. The upstairs living room has enough seating for 6 people. Our only faults were the tap on the sink in the upstairs bathroom is extremely noisy when turned on which could easily wake people up in the bedrooms either side, the floors upstairs do creak slot when walking about and as the bedroom downstairs is directly below the upstairs bedroom,you can hear people walking about in the night,we also had an infestation of ladybirds on the bedroom windows in both bedrooms, probably around 80 ladybirds on one single window in both bedrooms. We managed to stop them in the upstairs bedroom by putting tissue over the window vents but we couldn't pinpoint where they were getting into the downstairs bedroom. Overall this barn is a lovely place to stay with a little village 10 minutes down the rd with a small shop and pub. Everyone is also extremely friendly. Charles the owner gave us a phone call on our 1st night asking if we had settled in ok,which I found very nice. I would rate our stay in this barn at 9 out of 10

  We enjoyed our stay at the recently renovated Stable.

  It was comfortable and warm and nice and light throughout. The kitchen appliances were very good and there were 2 good quality TV's too. The seating and bed were nice and comfortable. The bathroom did the job although to use the shower meant removing toilet rolls etc as the whole room gets wet. One of the main reasons for choosing this location was to accomodate our dog with the large garden being a big attraction. However we found that the garden isn't fully secure. The back of the garden is only fenced off from the adjacent field by a plastic mesh fence. This wasn't fitted properly and most of it wasn't at full height and our dog easily got over it and ended up in the field. This could have resulted in him getting onto the main road. After this incident we had to have him on a lead which wasn't what we wanted for him. A more sturdy and higher fence is required to make it secure. Also the gate and metal railings could do with mesh being fitted as any dog smaller than ours could have squeezed through, ours nearly did! If those small things were sorted it is a lovely garden for a dog to be in. The only other small things I would suggest would be wi-fi and a few more basic kitchen items such as oven trays and gloves. We did enjoy our stay and would consider coming again if we felt the garden was safe for our dog. The bottle of wine and can of beer was a nice welcome upon arrival.

  Really lovely, comfortable cottage.

  Great location to explore the local area and a really comprehensive guidebook provided by the owner with lovely photos, recommendations of places to eat, local village guides and suggestions for trips out. We particularly enjoyed a trip to Woodall Spa followed by a drive to Sutton on Sea for fish and chips. We were a little taken aback by the layout of the cottage - the lack of internal access (although the walkway was covered) to one of the bedrooms and bathrooms was a surprise. This probably needs mentioning in the listing as this would not be suitable for everyone, especially those with younger children. The cottage was lovely and clean and well maintained although there were lots of flies upstairs and hundreds of ladybirds around all the window frames on arrival. The kitchen had everything we needed and was well stocked with crockery and glassware. Bedrooms were comfortable and plenty of towels were left. The owner rang the day after we arrived to check we had everything we needed. Although dogs are welcome at this property, they aren’t allowed into the sitting room which is upstairs. The owner informed us of this after we arrived and again, I feel this needs mentioning on the website as it wouldn’t suit everybody to leave the dog alone in the kitchen. Overall, a really comfortable stay in an area we will definitely return to.

  We were given a warm welcome when we arrived, and there was cake and biscuits waiting for us!

  The property is accessed down a colourful driveway and there is space to turn and reverse park in the space provided. Outside is an enclosed small sitting out area, which we used as the weather was quite good. Inside there are 2 settees with TV and Dvd (and drawer full of films) player. There was also Netflix! A new sleigh bed had very recently been purchased, we found it very comfortable. There was plenty of storage space. Note: the ceilings are all very low (my partner is 6'3) so had to be careful not to bump his head! The kitchen had all the usual amenities and a large fridge freezer. There were plenty of towels in the bathroom. Out and about, we found all the locals to be really friendly and chatty in the local pubs. If you like real ales then the 8 Sail Brewery bar is a must and is really cheap!! The Nags Head was so welcoming that we visited for the England matches. Great atmosphere. We never actually ate at the Royal Oak, but the reviews are good, especially for Sunday lunch. There are 4 good takeaways in the village, or food can be delivered to the property from Sleaford. We used the property as a base for cycling and the roads are really quiet. Though the road surface sometimes wasn't great. We would stay here again.
