Hillcrest is an outstanding property. We stayed for a long weekend and would have gladly stayed longer. The welcome pack was a lovely touch.Everything you could ever need was available.We did have a couple of minor issues which the hosts dealt with straight away.We enjoyed watching the rabbits running around, and we also got a visit from a pheasant, the joys of being in the middle of fields.I don’t think anyone could be disappointed with a stay at Hillcrest, we would defo stay again and highly recommend.

We had a lovely few days at Hillcrest. The house is in a quiet location overlooking fields, we saw deer and hare. The hot tub was warm and not too hot which was good for the kids and my elderly father. The red arrows flying over and seeing them perform was also fab. We didn't eat out but the house isn't far from the local villages where there are pubs a co op, takeaways etc. 20 min approx drove to centre of Lincoln. The house itself was immaculate and had everything you need. Heated flooring. Beautiful decor and comfy beds. Lots of storage, En suite bathrooms in each room and towels for the hot tub provided. The host kept in touch throughout our stay also. We had a great time and would look at coming back.
