  This is a beautiful cottage, well designed and stylishly decorated.

  It was a perfect layout for us, compact with easy access to all areas. Mary-Jane has done a great job with this property, she should feel very proud. The kitchen has everything needed for a stay with a very spacious breakfast bar giving plenty of room for preparation and eating. The lounge area is great with a huge television, having Netflix and Now TV is great too, although the internet did occasionally dip but it wasn’t a big deal. The bedroom has a very comfy bed with an en-suite shower room. The shower is a good size, loved the sliding door. The weather was warm and sunny so being able to sit in the garden was brilliant. The locals are a friendly bunch especially the owner of the mini mart, I had quite a chat with him. His shop is well stocked with a good variety of items. On the Saturday we were staying the Cheese and Bread man had his van parked up in the village hall car park. His sesame bloomer and cinnamon swirls were excellent and were selling fast. It was lovely to chat with the villagers who were queuing up to buy his bread. The whole village is very attractive with lovely village greens, plus two pubs. I’d recommend the Inn on the Green they have two outside areas to sit in plus the bar area is very pleasant too. The Black Horse, although only a few paces away from The Forge, isn’t as friendly, we weren’t that keen on the place. We enjoyed walking our dog around the village, there’s plenty of different routes to take. During our stay we visited The Dambusters Inn in Scampton, only a couple of miles or so down the road and well worth a visit. Great memorabilia on the walls plus good beer and even better food. We also had a day out at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, we really enjoyed it plus the icing on the cake was seeing and hearing the Lancaster taxiing, a fantastic experience. So all in all we had a very good holiday, would definitely consider returning. Another lovely property from Sykes, thank you.

  This is a lovely cottage, there are good aspects of it, some excellent but also some not so good.

  It is beautiful to look at, well positioned and in a great location. Everything we needed was close by. Like another review, we also had difficulty getting in when we arrived and as it was raining hard it was annoying. The key safe box is really stiff and trying to get the gate open was awkward only to realise the lock doesn't catch so it wasn't locked anyway! The rooms are well laid out, the kitchen is extremely well equipped, lovely big fridge, big enough freezer. T-towels, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid the list of what is provided for goes on. And the welcome box was a lovely bonus. Lounge was great, very relaxing, cozy with two dogs but other than sit and watch TV with a cuppa or G&T what else do you need. We found the house a bit chilly and felt damp on arrival but maybe had been empty previous to us being there, put the heating on and warmed up eventually. Upstairs, lovely big bedroom (we didn't use the other one), bed really comfy. We couldn't get the TV to work upstairs as there wasn't a signal which was a bit odd. There were a couple of not so good bits, the bathroom tiles were a bit grim with black mould in the grouting, you can actually see it in the photos but don't realise until you get in the shower. The bathroom blind broke and had to stay down for our stay. The most disappointing bit is the outside, the enclosed garden is just the courtyard, we had expected as it was dog friendly that we would have a grass area where we could let the dogs into and as ours won't "go" on the patio we had to take them out on leads to the front for their toilets. I should have realised when I read the listing so I take responsibility for this but just offering as a warning to others if they have fussy dogs. I didn't like the view from the courtyard which is of a rough old bit of land looking at a run down building with broken windows, a higher fence or something would take the edge of that eyesore.

  From The Netherlands we wished to visit the Lincoln area.

  We booked quite late in the holiday season and expected not to find a quality cottage. However.....we found this: Pat's cottage (old rectory annexe). This was over our expectations! The room was very clean, the cottage very roomy offering that good kitchen (3 stoves!!), that large living room and the very large bathroom with shower and bath plus the very goodsized bedroom and bed. Everything looked new or newish, definitely no poor or damaged materials and inside the cottage there was very much daylight. Yes we were very happy with the cottage. Also happy we were with the owners. They are very kind and helpfull, they do communicate very well, they advise very good, and we felt very free to do whatever we wished there. The cottages plot is very green and very quiet with lots of unexpected birds and animals that have their habitat in the area. Yes, this was very, very good and much better than wehad expected! So can we advise? YES........YES OF COURSE! Loes and Ton Kramer from Zaandam, Netherlands.

  Gorgeous little property with a lovely garden. Very well equipped (although there was no hairdryer). But the property was like “chalk and cheese”, one side picturesque and rural and the other feet from the A18, which is definitely not rural. The A18 is an extremely busy road, 24 hours a day - lots of lorries, which did not adhere to the 30 mile an hour speed limit. Felt like they were passing by the side of the bed and even woke up scared a time or two not knowing what it was. I’m a light sleeper with Multiple Sclerosis, so sleep is very important for control of my symptoms. My husband is a deep sleeper but even his sleep was disturbed. There was definitely no lying in. A shame, a lovely property, with a good pub and restaurant within walking distance, but the road definitely took the edge off the holiday. Even considered not staying when we first arrived, but managed to cope with it.
