"A lovely cottage but very isolated which may not suit everyone.We enjoyed being able to walk along very quiet lanes where only a couple of cars passed each hour.The hamlet consists of only 12 properties ,four of which are holiday lets.The lane to the nearby village which has a pub but no shop was very uneven.The closest town was about 15 minutes away which had a supermarket and some places to eat.The upstairs bedroom does not have a door but has a staircase straight off the kitchen.This means people in this room were disturbed by others using the kitchen.The cottage was reasonably well equipped and clean.Unfortunately the dishwasher broke down on the second day and the owner was not able to get it replaced until after we left.This meant time was spent washing up rather than relaxing or going for an evening walk.The internet was really poor and some of our gadgets just couldn't connect at all,a downside to the countryside.Phone reception was good.A number of places to visit were within 30 to 50 minutes drive.If you are looking for somewhere off the beaten track and prefer to cook rather than eat out then this would be ideal.At night there was not a sound other than the hoot of an owl."

"Gorgeous house but quite disappointing. When we arrived, after the time specified, they were still working on the property. The sauna wasn’t working all weekend, even thought they said the broken part was being fixed at some point during our stay. The music on the hot-tub didn’t work even though we were told we could have music outside. The chairs around the table were very uncomfortable. We had to get someone out several time over our stay. On the first bight we realised a couple of lights didn’t work, we were told the lights had been check before our arrival, however the bulbs had gone. An electrician came and fixed the bathroom light but we were left with two other bulbs still broken. We were told that if the hot-tub dropped below a certain level to top it up with the hose pipe provided, unfortunately this was taken from us through our stay so someone had to come out again to sort it. There was also an extra attachment that he had to bring, we had to wait 45 minutes for this which meant we couldn’t go in the hot-tub, with no apology given to us. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this cottage as the inside, equipment and services was very disappointing."

"The cottage location is exactly as described, however there needs to be much more attention to detail. The pictures shown are old pictures and very deceiving. There were cobwebs on tables in every bedroom. The bath had to be cleaned before it could be used. The bulbs in many lamps were not working. Batteries in TV remotes - again not working! There is no opportunities for privacy at all as there are no locks on any doors. (Not even bathroom doors.) Everything feels like it has been done on a budget and the owners are constantly trying to save money. TV hanging from the wall was unstable and didn't look homely at all. Heating was locked to certain settings, so unless you want to get up after 8.30am and be in bed before 9pm you had no heating out of these times so it was cold. Contacted the owner prior to arrival to check directions etc, however as we hadn't booked direct he was extremely rude and didn't want to know and was very unhelpful. The caretaker also came across as been arrogant and unwelcoming. We have stayed in many cottages all over the UK over the last 15 years and this is the first one we have had to leave a bad review for."

"We really enjoyed staying in this lovely wooden cabin. The open plan living area had lots of room for the kids to run about. The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of storage space in the bedrooms. The exposed wooden beams and high ceiling really made the place feel really spacious. If it had been summer I'm sure we would have enjoyed sitting outside on the terrace...but it was too cold in October. It was very good value. We could of done with a brighter bulb in the lamp in the living area for reading. We did struggle a bit with the door locks too, but the site manager was very friendly and only too happy to help. I loved the fact that there was no wifi :-) The site itself was nice and well kept. When I booked it I thought it was nearer a beach, as it is not far from the coast, but actually the beaches are about 30 mins away (thus I gave a lower score for location...but I should of done my research better). We really enjoyed it and would be happy to return."

"Nice accommodation. Very close to Horncastle and Woodhall Spa. RAF Coningsby also within a few miles for those aircraft enthusiasts. The cottage is in a very rural area and dead quiet at night. The only sound was that of an owl very close by. It was a treat to stand outside one clear night and see more stars than I have ever seen in England. No lighting to detract from the beautiful night sky. The cottage had everything we needed and the beds were very comfy. Plenty of crockery and cutlery and utensils. It’s much more spacious than it looks on the photos with a large lounge and kitchen/diner.The cottage owners are right there if needed but unobtrusive. Sara was there to greet us a few mins after we arrived and showed us around. The only tiny little grumble was the real difficulty of opening the key safe, if Sara had not been there fairly quickly after our arrival to get the key out we would have been stuck. I think they will fix that though."
