  An truly idyllic place to stay.

  This was our second stay at The Old Wood Coach House and I can only say we appreciated it even more the second time around. It has everything you need, and all that you never knew you needed! The owners have produced a lovely holiday home in a peaceful, tranquil environment. Perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Surrounded by nature, and accessible only by small tree lined roads, it's a little like travelling into a fairytale. The love, energy and effort that has gone into creating such a beautiful and natural retreat can be seen in an abundance of small details. The gently cultivated garden encourages local wildlife and one can lose hours watching the birds, squirrels, frogs and others roam free. Our little dog was a tad confused when one day he stepped outside into what can only be described as a "cloud of butterflies!" The house is also not short of "mod cons", to name just a few - rainfall showers in both bathrooms (one also has a bath tub), a "smart" hob and oven, a speaker for your playlist if you so choose , many little touches that make sure your stay is as easy, comfortable and pleasant as possible. There is no wifi, very little "cell signal" or "data coverage", but it can be found in certain areas of the house and garden if wanted or needed. It was a refreshing change not to be held hostage by pinging phones or computers, but also handy to know we could access it if need be. The owners, although only next door, are not intrusive, and ensure their guests are given privacy. However, in the event of any issues, they are friendly; quick, efficent in dealing with them. Local amenities are near by and easily accessible. Essentially, one has the best of all worlds at The Old Wood Coach House.

  Outstanding.

  The place itself is not only the cleanest holiday rental we have ever stayed in, it has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The owners have thought of everything for both people and dogs. There is a detailed excellent list of facilities in the area, things to do and places to eat. They provided blankets, towels and throws for the dogs along with treats & bowls and the shower area is genius. You can do everything you need to in the downstairs utility room with the dogs so they are clean to go upstairs. If you are looking at this place but are worried about dogs having been there, don't be as it's super clean. The lovely attentive owners are on hand if you need anything via text or phone. Other than popping round to say hello after you arrive, to ask if you need anything, you don't see them and they completely respect your privacy. A little welcome pack is waiting for you with homemade goods, which are beautiful. The area is idilic and very peaceful and the woods are fantastic for walking the dogs. Both our dogs loved it and 1 of them spent most of her time on the balcony watching the wildlife and the birds and squirrels on the bird feeder. The garden is completely secure and large, sometimes a property says its secure, but it's not. So nice to be able to let the dogs roam and not have to worry about them escaping. Our only complaint was that we were only there for 3 days and really wish we had booked for a week. We all had a wonderfully relaxing few days and slept amazing well, we wish more rentals were like this. Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for people and the fury family to spend their holidays. Fabulous.

  Old Wood Coach House certainly has the "wow" factor .

  A perfect place for a peaceful retreat from the outside world, but close enough to local places to visit. Decorated to a very high standard and is very well equipped, including a doggie shower on the lower level. The accommodation offers two great showers and the dishwasher was an added bonus. The main living area is upstairs and overlooks the local wood which is next door to the property and offers a great place for walking . The view from the lounge and outside verandah gives the feeling of staying and living in a tree house . Katharine and David were perfect hosts and live next door to the property and were very attentive in filling up the logs for the log burner and the nuts and seeds for the bird feeders which attracted many different bird life and funny antics by the squirrels. Their welcome pack was very thoughtful and very much appreciated ,including homemade.jams,lemon drizzle.cake and vase of daffodils .1 If you want a place away from the hustle and bustle of a busy life and a delightful home from home to relax and recharge your batteries ,this is the place to come .No WiFi helps in the unwinding and relaxation process. A real tonic and fantastic property ,highly recommend and will definitely return.

  At first sight the property creates a good impression.

  It is well decorated and very clean although there was a strong smell of dog in the lounge which we found to be very unpleasant. Unfortunately the cottage is completely unsuitable for elderly visitors and I will explain why I have arrived at this conclusion. The sofa is unusable as it is too low and has no back support. My wife was unable to extricate herself from its grip without assistance from me. The only practical solution was to move the dining room chairs into the lounge but they are uncomfortable when used for extended periods. While on the subject of the lounge there is a very serious trip hazard in that the broadband hub and trailing wires are located in a narrow corridor between the sofa and the wall. Also the television is far too large for the size of the lounge to the point where it is impossible to view the whole image. With regard to equipment there is no non-slip mat for the bath/shower which made using the shower very dangerous with a high risk of slipping. Also there is no shaver/toothbrush charging point in the bathroom and we were unable to find an adapter plug so we had to buy one. In conclusion our stay was very uncomfortable and we would not stay here again

  Superb property in a very private location.

  We loved the details provided by the host (freshly baked cake on arrival, jam and marmalade, fridge full of essentials etc). They didn't have to do this and it wasn't expected but such a lovely touch. Lincoln is only 15 mins away by car and the local village has a lovely pub and a few takeaways if you're feeling lazy. There are plenty of woodland walks on your doorstep so this is great if you're taking kids, pets or if you just fancy a romantic walk with your other half. My only negative about the property was the lack of WiFi as I received little or no signal while in the building. WiFi isn't stated on the amenities but I assumed it would have it regardless as most cottages usually do these days. Bottom line, great destination and a very welcoming host. I have recommended to a few people already and we may come back in the Summer. Thanks for being such a lovely host. Ryan.
