Victoria,s retreat is an excellent holiday home located perfectly for exploring Lincoln and the surrounding area. 5 minute walking distance to the wonderful cathedral area one way and to the bustling city centre the other with the added bonus of a private parking space .It was a pleasure to meet Jill the house owner who had good advise about where to eat and drink and which of the many local attractions to visit.We would definitely return again to this property.

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.
