We stayed here 2 families, there was so much space, very comfortable. Chris cleaned the hot tub everyday so it was sparkling whenever we wanted to use it. The local area has so much to do as well! Highly recommend this property for a staycation in the UK!

Lovely well equipped cottage in a quaint Lincolnshire village. The house was spacious and comfortable and we especially enjoyed the use of the hot tub in the back yard. The manager was helpful and understanding when we arrived a little later than we intended. Lots of space for several cars also.

We found Harbour View had everything we needed within the house, it was very large, and clean.The hot tub was lovely, very clean and was serviced each day.The only thing we felt could have improved the experience was some comfortable garden furniture and more comfy mattresses on the beds.Chris was incredibly helpful and responsive, even helping us to unload our Sainsbury’s delivery, and also very accommodating when we needed to add a dog to the booking at the very last minute.Overall we would recommend this property.
