Thank you for the gifts on arrival, most enjoyable. The Stable had everything we needed, extremely comfortable and homely. We had fabulous weather so we were able to sit in the garden and enjoy the sunshine. Very peaceful we both loved Saxilby and walking along the canal. Everything is so near by, the Co-op, bus stops and train station. Would certainly stay there again. Regards Kathy and Paul

Everything was provided including welcome goodies of cheese, Prosecco and Lincoln plum bread. The property was close to rail and transport links and has parking for 2 vehicles which we considered essential. We definitely intend to come back to The Stables at the next opportunity and wouldnât hesitate to recommend this lovely cottage.

The garden was pleasant and much larger than I had thought from the pictures. The location was quiet, especially when you consider it was in the middle of a village. Parking was easy as well as access to the property. Thank you.
