Ideally placed for a visit to Lincoln. The house has a lovely rear garden for sitting out and relaxing. Parking space is provided. The whole city is accessible on foot from the house location.

Victoria's Retreat is a holiday home about half way up the long hill from the station to the Cathedral and Castle in Lincoln. An excellent position to access the retail area downhill and the independent shops and the Cathedral uphill. The front door is on the hill but there is a back entrance with a car parking space. The owner is very helpful in providing the information to guide you into this parking area.Despite being in the older part of the city, the house is very modern and comfortable and provided with everything that you are likely to need on holiday.This house is definitely not a rural retreat. It can be a bit noisy in the evening and there is a constant procession of people passing the front day all day. If you want to be in a central position, this is for you. If you value a quiet holiday, it would probably be better to look elsewhere.
