Reviews
Great pet-friendly bungalow located within easy reach of Lincoln by bus. The accommodation is ideal for families and dogs as the garden is very secure. Our grandchildren loved being able to go out of the lounge straight onto the large patio area. The bungalow was extremely well equipped and very comfortable with quality furnishings. The owner lives nearby and was very welcoming, leaving some lovely homemade chocolate brownie along with other provisions. It was a pleasure staying there and I would recommend this as a great base for touring and visiting Lincolnshire.
Had a lovely overnight stay, whilst visiting old friends. The cottage has a luxurious feel with some nice quirky details and we were made to feel very welcome. Cottage is in a nice village location with a short walk to the local pubs and shop. Lincoln was easy to reach on foot, walking along a nice flat cycle path that follows the Foss dyke into the Brayford Wharf with a pit stop at the Pyewipe pub/restaurant for a swift half if you need one! Only regret is that I didn’t get chance to soak in the roll top bath with a G&T.
