The cottage is very peaceful. Well presented but could be a little better equipped (eg hot tub towels, salt & pepper, and generally just some of the kitchen utensils could do with being replaced). I would agree with the previous review that that the double bed definitely needs replacing, the mattress is either really old or just cheap, it’s springy and we didn’t sleep well on it; the bed frame is also broken on the headboard so can’t sit up with a cuppa or to read. We’d have hoped those things would have been put right by the time we came to stay but didn’t seem to be the case. The hot tub is amazing though and it you want a private and peaceful time then it was fine. There is not much to offer in wainfleet, as mentioned in a previous review, it is very run down and sadly unpleasant. We had to walk our dogs and did go into the nearby pub (The Woolpack), which was friendly enough and actually had a decent roast dinner there on the Sunday!

The cottage and staff were lovely, however, the cottage does need a little TLC. The fridge does not work properly, the double bed is falling apart, the table outside is falling apart and gives you splinters etc. Having said that it was all liveable for 7 days. Our main disappointment was that the location description was not accurate. The town is derelict bar 1 good pub and a coop, the brewery and the other couple of shops open and close (mainly close). Also the residents of the town made it feel unsafe and not somewhere I want my children. It is not a medieval town with markets and little shops. It’s boarded up.
