Charming Cottage in rural village close to Lincoln
I cannot recommend this accommodation enough. It was absolutely perfect! And the host was fabulous! Lots of treats and extras, even for the dogs too. The accommodation is of a very high standard, with a huge long garden. Plenty of room for a game of football with the grandchildren. Our mini break was extremely relaxing, we felt very welcome and will definitely be booking again.

Rural Retreat set in a conservation area.
A scheduled and stunning getaway set in beautiful and private grounds. Incredibly quiet and peaceful and the space was very large and comfortable

Friars Lodge, Edwinstowe
Beautiful lodge in a quiet surrounding just perfect to chill for a few days. Excellent very well maintained little extra made this well worth the money, though we didn’t see our hosts and this is most definitely not a negative as we prefer that we also knew that if there was anything me required or needed they were on hand. Highly recommended.

Spacious, peaceful accommodation on the coast
We had a lovely stay (two families with kids), everything we could possibly need and lots more at Garden Lodge Cottage. Charlie was a wonderful host who went above and beyond in accommodating us and really thoughtful touches of homemade cakes and a bottle of wine were so welcome after a long journey! Gorgeous house and garden tucked away but close enough to wonder down to the dunes and coast. We spied a barn owl over the fields from the house at dusk two of the nights we were there. Magical. Oh and we all loved the hens and their eggs! Especially the children. Comfy, clean and spacious, this was a perfect place to stay and we would highly recommend it. Thank you again Charlie, very best wishes, Iain & families :-)

Self Catering FLat | LetitbeLincs
We stayed here as we were travelling for a wedding. Angie was great - very communicative and was able to be flexible around our arrival time. She was also able to fit a child gate for extra safety which was very appreciated.

Valentine Cottage. Lovely country house & garden
We had such a lovely stay at Pam’s beautiful cottage. Everything you could ask for - home from home. Very peaceful surroundings and we really enjoyed the view looking out onto horses. Perfect location for the exploring the surrounding areas. Would definitely stay again if visiting the area again.

Church Farm Cottage, Legbourne, Louth
Everything about our stay was perfect. Communication with Paula was brilliant and we really appreciated her message asking how we were getting on during our stay. Everything we could have needed was provided. The cottage was so clean and comfortable and the outside area was beautiful. The location was lovely with great cycling routes nearby and we visited Mablethorpe Beach which was a short drive away. I cannot fault anything and would highly recommend staying here. We had a wonderful time and we will absolutely be visiting again!

Humberston Fitties Fiddly Dee Dog Friendly Chalet
Simply fabulous stay at this beautiful, quiet chalet. A spotless, dog friendly getaway with a relaxing, fully enclosed back garden. I do love having a choice of outdoor seating spaces to choose from especially if they've got pretty lights. Everything you need to make your stay special. Super comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen, a lovely, lovely sunroom, awesome shower and less than a minutes walk to the sandy beach. The locally taken photographs added to the ambiance. If you're very lucky the lovely hosts will even book the sunshine and blue sky for you.

Beautiful luxury lodge, 6 berth, hot tub
5 Stars – A Relaxing and Thoughtful Stay! We had such a lovely 3-night stay at this lodge! The place was spotless on arrival—so clean and well-kept, which instantly made us feel comfortable and at home. One of the sweetest touches was the free welcome gift waiting for us—it really made us feel appreciated and set the tone for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub was a dream and a massive hit with the children. It was perfect for soaking under the stars in the peaceful surroundings. The lodge itself was cozy, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the quiet location, but it was also close enough to explore some great local spots. Everything was so easy, and Ruth clearly cares about their guests’ experience. Ruth messaged me and kept me updated with when the lodge was ready. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind in a clean, welcoming, and peaceful setting. We’ll definitely be back!

Holiday House minutes from the beach.
Both Lisa and Brother Andy where very good hosts I had a few queries whilst we where visiting and they where both very quick to respond. The house beat all expectations and was very dog friendly and yet not a single dog hair visible on arrival. Great location hardly used the car and even though it was off road parking we had no issues with getting a space .

Hot tub. rural 4 bed Cottage sleeps 8 nr Stamford
We had the best stay at this beautiful home! Amber was a great host and went above and beyond for us. The trampoline in the garden was a great extra we weren’t expecting and the kids loved the playroom too. The location is a bit out the way so need to drive to shops 10/15 mins but the village is beautiful and really couldn’t fault it. Would return & definitely recommend. Thanks again x
