Fabulous warm cosy, spacious, cottage. Needs new sofa, support has gone. Everything else was wonderful. Surrounding area beautiful. Many nice villages and towns not too far to travel to. Hosts fabulous.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable and warm. It was much bigger than we thought. Kirin met us and showed us around the cottage, pointing out various instructions for the oven and dishwasher which was useful. The lounge had a smart tv and had its own Netflix account. Bedroom was a good size and the bed was really comfortable, it also had the benefit of an en-suite toilet and wash basin, the shower was broken and Kirin did inform us of this. Great place to stay, quite a few places to visit not too far away. Chickens and ducks visit the garden and it was lovely to see the ducks bathing in the puddles before we left..

Nightingale Lodge is a fabulous property with everything you could possibly need. It is spacious and comfortable and even comes with its own Netflix account. It is well placed to explore the area with much to see and do nearby while Grantham is only a short drive away for shops and other amenities. It was also very convenient for the event I was attending at Grimsthorpe Castle, which is worth a visit in its own right. Kirin is a great host and provides a warm welcome. The chickens are very friendly and the ducks will make you laugh! The proximity to the A52 is not a problem - it's not particularly busy and is quiet at night. I have already booked a return visit for next year!
