  The cottage is lovely.

  John was very helpful, generous with his time and friendly and Jasper was adorable (watch out for your shoes). We had a lovely week exploring Lincolnshire and relaxing in the cottage. A few niggles stops it from being top marks. The main issue for us was that the mezzanine bedroom is basically a landing with a bed. This wasn't really suitable for my 15 year old, next to 18 year olds in the adjoining room as they had to walk through to go down to the toilet, a privacy screen might be an idea. The extension lead wasn't working meaning she had no electricity to charge phone, use hairdryer or put a fan on due to heatwave. This isnt really clear in the description and photos. We were excited by the beautiful outdoor area but due to the design of the glass roof it traps flies and wasps meaning you have dead ones falling in your food. This stopped us using the area. John is aware and apologised as said he's going to try to resolve in future. If it was marks for being a lovely person and being friendly it would be top marks. There wasn't a baking tray so we bought one and left it behind. Other than these niggles it was quiet, tranquil and beautiful. Thank you to John for your generosity in letting us use the garden, loungers etc.

  Such a lovely cottage, fabulous gardens and fully equipped with everything you could need.

  Just loved sitting outside whatever the weather and enjoying the peace and quiet. We had a couple of visits from Jasper the black lab who belonged to John the owner of the cottage, he’d have a treat and then be on his way! The cottage is brilliant for anyone with a dog, totally secure, our dog just wondered around the garden and found a nice place to sit in the sun. As for the cottage it’s self it has everything! We used the downstairs bedroom and the bed was so comfy. Fully equipped kitchen, everything was spotless and very well organised. A very spacious cottage which could definitely accommodate a family of 4 or 5 and still not be under each other’s feet especially with the outdoor seating area! We just loved it, there was even a pizza oven & BBQ but we didn’t use them. We had such a great time and didn’t want to leave on Friday morning but Sue arrived at 10am to get the cottage ready for the next lucky people to come and stay! Thanks John, Sue and Jasper for our lovely holiday and hope to be back soon!

  What a well presented and maintained cottage!

  We booked this cottage for a week to get away from it all and relax together with the dog. The cottage its self is well prepared, the kitchen has all the essentials. So we never found ourselves searching for something when cooking during our stay. The BBQ outside has it's own tools and was supplied with coals. The bedrooms were all exceptionally clean and comfortable. The owner advises that dogs don't go onto the furniture or beds without a throw over them first. (Which I understand completely.) At night we left our dog in the kitchen and corridor, closing the doors to the living room and bedrooms. We got out on several walks around the local countryside and enjoyed coming back to the cottage afterward every time. With the guest book is a photo album showing the renovation work undertaken by the owner which is great to see the transformation. Overall would highly recommend we will certainly look to come back here again another time.

  We had a really good time at Forge Cottage.

  My Mom has limited mobility, so the downstairs bedroom was ideal for her. The beautiful garden was perfect for the dogs and enjoyed by all of us. Jasper the resident dog gave us a great welcome and was immediately happy to join our pack - we wanted to take him home with us and I think my dog missed him once we got home! We didn’t go out and about much, as we enjoyed relaxing at the cottage and using the wood fired pizza oven - I need one! John, the owner, is a fabulous chap - really friendly, easy going and interesting to chat with. He didn’t turn a hair when my car wouldn’t start as we came to leave, happily gave me a jump start and waved us off. Lovely time had, lovely place, lovey bloke with a lovely dog!

  On arrival, the owner John was extremely friendly, and said just to let him know if we required any assistance or local information.

  The property and fully enclosed garden is exceptional and the cottage had been cleaned to a very high standard. John's dog Jasper is also very friendly, and obedient. Unfortunately one of my dogs was trying to be dominant, so I had to supervise him when the two dogs met. For information, there is no mobile phone 'Virgin' signal in the village. Positive feedback - Perhaps a dishwasher could be added, mattresses could be upgraded to memory foam, as currently mattresses very soft and springy which is no good for a back sufferer like me, or similarly others, and the 3 piece suite is tired and one armchair in particular has a sunken seat. I certainly recommend this cottage and the superb dog friendly enclosed garden.
