About this property
Resting in the small village of Reepham is Copse View, a detached annex on the owners ground. Set over a singe-storey and sleeping two guests, Copse View is a romantic dwelling for your next trip to Lincolnshire, just a short driveaway from Lincoln city centre. You are welcomed to the property by a spacious gravel driveway, where you can park one car in a shared space, whilst to the side of the property there is an enclosed and private garden with lawn, patio and furniture so you can enjoy a bottle of wine under the stars or take your morning coffee out into the fresh air. Stepping into the property, find an open-plan living space; cuddle up on the sofa as you enjoy an evening of good television, or let your loved one cook you a romantic meal in the well-equipped kitchen to enjoy at the dining table as you toast to a wonderful trip. Moving into the bedroom, there is a double bed and another television, for when the evening draws to a close and you begin to relax and rejuvenate. This is complimented by a spacious en-suite bathroom, where you can take a long soak in the bath or freshen up with a quick shower. Copse View is just a stone's throw away from the village pub, The Fox And Hounds Inn, which makes for a great evening out. Take a short drive to the neighbouring village of Cherry Willingham where you can be sure to find food to suit all tastes with two further pubs, a Chinese takeaway and a fish and chip shop. Nearby is the cathedral city of Lincoln where you can walk the walls of the castle, climb the tower for views over the city, go on a shopping spree, or visit some interesting attractions, such as the World War II museums, present day airfields and the International Bomber Command Centre. Also in the area you can experience feeding and hands-on wildlife encounters at Woodside Wildlife and Falconry Park, take a stroll around the 100-acre of Victorian landscaped gardens with a lake and woods at Hartsholme Country Park, or learn something new at Lincolnshire Road Transport Museum. For a romantic base whilst you explore this wonderful part of Lincolnshire, choose Copse View.
Reepham is a small village where the village shop also acts as a Post Office and newsagents, and there is a cricket club, a primary school, a Church, Methodist chapel, and The Fox and Hounds Inn which serves food and drink.

Personally, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would have no hesitation in staying here again should we ever wish to return to this area.

Great Location for visiting Lincoln and surrounding area. Enjoyed sitting outside patio doors in the evening with glass of wine. Good value for money.

Very close to Lincoln, with a regular bus service into the town, castle etc. Also a pub within walking distance that does food, and several others close by. Well located for other attractions, airfields, NT properties, and even the coast only around an hours drive away. Particularly impressed by the Woodside Wildlife Park so close and several small nature reserves and walks. The weather was not too good, so no problem for us, but the outside of the property was just a scrubby area of weeds and broken tree branches, with just one small folding wooden seat, so we could not have sat outside had the weather been better. The property itself was fine, well equipped and well arranged in a smallish space, had everything we needed. We personally struggled a little with the small bed, which unfortunately we both found not very comfortable. Nigel and Charlotte.
