Guests find the house large and comfortable, with plenty of space for everyone. The presence of multiple sitting areas and a conservatory allows for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

The property is praised for being well-equipped with games, books, DVDs, and ample parking. However, a mention of an inadequate welcome pack suggests room for improvement in this area.

  • Alison

    Very comfortable with more than enough room for 5 adults and a dog, in a fantastic setting, lovely walks in the local woods and we were blessed with good weather as well. Visited nearby Lincoln and the cathedral (I believe the rooftop tour is well worth doing) and Belton. Jane was available if needed but otherwise very discreet. Would definitely return.

  • Steven

    The house is lovely, clean and comfortable, and very well located, being only a 15-minute drive from Lincoln. Although the hosts live next door, they were never intrusive but were very helpful when needed. We would definitely recommend this accommodation and we hope to return again sometime in the future. Lots of lovely memories made!

  • Margaret

    There are some nice walks from the door and plenty of others just a short drive away, it is also handy for the park&ride into Lincoln. Although Jane and partner stay just the other side of the car port, they are very discrete but are there if you need them. We would definitely consider staying there again.
