Lily Pad Cottage, A Great place to relax and recharge your batteries, a huge 2 bedroom house in a lovely quiet location, but only a short drive from shops n pubs, we made good use of the hot tub and relaxing in the garden, we visited Tealby and had two great meals in the pub The Kings Head, went into Horncastle lovely place for a wander. Also visited Horncastle garden centre, had brunch in there, fresh and tasty cooked food.

Really lovely cottage in a wonderful setting.Lovely and peaceful but only 10 minutes from local shops.House really spacious and airy.Plenty room. Beds are soft but comfy.Lots storage space and en- suites both large. Garden well presented and tidy.Great to watch and listen to the birds from early morning.Owners really nice people on hand if you need anything but also not intrusive in any way.We had a brilliant week here and would Definitely book again. Only downside is any dogs have to stay downstairs.Pond isn’t very secure so pets can get in the water. So wouldn’t say was very dog friendly.

Well where do you want me to start …..If you like a very soft marshmallow like mattress then this is for you Also the beds are double and not king size as stated in the description!Sofas were well worn and not comfortable The cottage didn’t match the description The mattresses were terrible The flat and lumpy pillows were a disgrace One of the quilts has tears to it and human hairs The lamp in living room was on the wonk and broken - maybe this was a feature? It was a work of art trying to get hot water in the morning Ok if you want a shower at night but if you want one in the morning forget it !It is very difficult to squeeze your tea bags in your tea without bending the spoon - which is NOT acceptable for a luxury cottage The garden is not fully enclosed therefore with having a lake at the bottom - which is not ideal for dogs that like to swim The property could do with a deep clean and the light fittings are furry Take your Amazon fire stick with you if you want to watch netflicks as there is not a smart TV available and there is only an old selection of DVDs and it was not a 50imch tv as stated in the description l, propped up with old DVDs There was holes in the curtains There was an insect infestation with lady bugs everything The hot tub was a bit dated and not terribly hot with serious lack of bubbles The furniture does not match the photos - the photos are out dated - it would be nice if they had up to date photographs We have stayed at n a lot of Hoseasons accommodation through the years and this has been our biggest disappointment Oh and the microwave wasn’t the cleanest inside !!!!
