Apartment was amazing! Really spacious and very grand! Why sray in a small hotel room when you can stay somewhere like this. Owner really nice and very helpful too. City centre c30 minute walk, which is where the main restaurants are too, although we really enjoyed spending an evening in tge apartment and having a take away delivered via Deliveroo!

Thank you both for your kind words, I’m so pleased you enjoyed your visit to LincolnVery best wishesNeil
Beautiful, character apartment. Luxurious, cosy and festive decoration. Generous additions, croissants, mince pies, tea, coffee, milk, filtered water etc. Very comfortable, warm and very peaceful. Easy to reach Lincoln. Friendly owner welcome. I think this is one of the best places we have stayed, would return again if possible.

Comfort and Charm
This is a beautiful place to stay. A lovely mix of old and new in the decorations. Extremely well resourced for cooking and comfort. The reclining leather lounges were such a bonus. The outlook into the gardens is very pretty and such a quiet environment in which to relax for a few days. We would highly recommend this property.

Great stay
We enjoyed our stay in the ground floor apartment. Situated in beautiful grounds, the apartment is spacious and we liked our private garden. It was very well appointed and had everything we needed. The host was friendly and was kind to leave us a welcome pack of goodies which was much appreciated and enjoyed. The apartment is in a quiet location and is only about 20-30 mins walk into Lincoln
The Apartment was large beautifully decorated and in superb condition. It really was a home from home. The gardens were exceptionally well maintained and designed. I could quite easily live there.

The best apartment we have ever stayed in. Made to feel very welcome and we could fault nothing.
You can literally eat off the floor; it is spotlessly clean. I had apartment 3, which was large and very comfortable. The house is 5 minutes from Lincoln but is in a lovely quiet and peaceful neighborhood. There is ample parking and a pretty garden. The host, Neil, is a very nice guy. You will not find a better place in the Lincoln area to stay. I can think of nothing that would make it a better accommodation. It gets 10 out of 10!

A wonderful surprise
The apartment was absolutely excellent, so was the patio and garden. We rarely review our stays at properties unless they are out of the norm. The only query I have is why it is only rated 9 and not ten!

Gracious Victorian house, beautifully restored, period furniture, very fully equipped.
Would have appreciated more cutlery, more tumblers (to match the capacity of the dishwasher, and also unsure whether the white crockery with a gold rim is dishwasher-safe).

Thank you for your review and I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay at The “gracious and fully equipped” Dower House.
In the top drawer of the server by the dining table there is a full set of silver cutlery, four of everything, which is additional to the “everyday” cutlery in the kitchen, four of everything. There are a total of 44 glasses in the kitchen cupboard, liquor, sherry and wine and gin glasses, brandy balloons and a total of 6 tumblers. I consider the 8 sets of cutlery and wide assortment of glasses to be quite generous and more than adequate for an apartment catering for a maximum capacity of two guests.
All the crockery and China provided is indeed dishwasher safe and the dishwasher does have a half load function should the threat of washing a tumbler by hand wish to be avoided .
Kind regards
