We had a very nice peaceful Christmas holiday at the old stables.The cottage is beautifully presented, well appointed, clean and comfortable.We were near enough Horncastle to easily pick up things if we needed them.Our dogs enjoyed the garden attached, just had to be careful of yard cats when walking to the garden from the cottage.We tried not to befriend the horses but if you go in the garden it's hard to ignore them wanting nose rubs as they huff until you say hello🤣We found good dog fields a five minute drive into Horncastle near the cricket and leisure clubs there's woodland and large pastures we took our dogs on for zoomies and met lots of nice dog walkers.We enjoyed visiting Lincoln cathedral with dogs on Christmas day.We also visited Chapel st Leonard's and enjoyed a sheltered walk through the sand dunes as it was really windy and cold on the beach!I would definitely recommend the accommodation, only thing that could be improved is the size of fridge freezer and the strength of the WiFi at times, tiny things really!

Lovely homely place to stay. So relaxing and quiet, just what we needed.Everything you need, books, videos etc. Really enjoyed our stay. Poor cubicle shower, fridge too small and no direct access for our dog to the land at the back. Lack of places to walk our German Shepherd. But really worth it for the peace and quiet. Very nice owners. Tasty welcome pack .
