What a little gem this is.

What a little gem this is. We had had a few quite stressful weeks and needed a relaxing break. This was quite the loveliest and relaxing holiday home we have stayed in. The cottage is fabulously equipped and a welcome pack with home made bread is included. We hadn’t visited this area before and the cottage is so well placed for Lincoln, having both a regular bus and train service on the doorstep - amazing! Ten mins into Lincoln. The village itself has a late shop almost opposite, 2 pubs, a great fish chip shop and a Chinese. A five star ⭐ place, we’ll be back.

Spacious, clean and well equipped.

Spacious, clean and well equipped. Nice welcome pack and friendly greeting from the owner. Lovely village with good amenities including a railway station a couple of minutes from the cottage. Lincoln is just 10 minutes away on the train. Lots to do even in November. One of the best places we've been to.

Lovely conversion of the actual forge.

Lovely conversion of the actual forge. Owners have paid attention to the details. Well kitted out and nicely decorated. Parking space to the side of the property but care needed when emerging on to main road. Welcome basket was very thoughtful.
