The cottage was spacious, clean and had just about everything you should need on a holiday. The views from the front and open space were very relaxing, nice to walk around the fishing lakes and appreciate the large ancient looking stones dotted around. Having the swimming pool available was a great facility, and kept two teenagers occupied on the rare occasions we had a rain shower. Lincoln is a nice city and we would love to return and explore more. The location is quite remote, so going out to eat is always a drive, but we didn't mind that. All in all it was a very nice cottage, lovely surroundings, a reasonable price and yes we would happily visit again.

We stayed at carp cottage between Christmas and new year for a week and had a wonderful time!The cottage was spotless and extremely well equipped Small toiletries in bathroom and bits of kitchen cleaning items to get you started Loads of towels and tea towels which can be lacking in places like this. Lots of storage and hangers in wardrobes , we especially loved the closet In the hall upstairs which kept our cases out of site and gave us more bedroom space.There was a Christmas tree up which made it feel very homely and Peter met us to show us around which was helpful, lovely man.The pool is a brilliant addition , just book slots when you want to go and was warm even in December the kids loved it especially!Could just have used a floor mop and bucket so guests could give it a wipe round after use ,as some people before us had left some muddy prints, around the pool , but this no way marred our time here.Electricity is by the meter and we used about £15 for a week which was brilliant as we we using to and cooking facilities most days!Take £1 or £2 coins for this.Coop in Saxilby is closest shop but quite pricy so we took most food with us or went to supermarket in bigger town.Lincoln about 15 mins away by car and an uber was £23 for 5 people.We would definitely stay here again but like to go to new place each time we travel but if Lincoln calls again we wouldn’t hesitate to come back Thank you all at Wallrudding Farm!
