  25 March - 1 April 2023 Initially the accommodation appeared dated and a bit tired but it may be this which led to it feeling a most comfortable, cosy and welcoming place.

  Comfortable bed, good reading lights in both sitting room and bedroom. Well equipped kitchen (although solid electric hot plates took some getting used to after an induction hob at home) AND..........a TV which didn't take the mind of an scientist to discover how to change channels! It was unfortunate that my visit was soon after an unsucessful roof repair which, as there was quite a bit of rain, resulted in a wall in the sitting room being damp: I have a keen sense of smell so for me it was the only real downside to this accommodation. Lovely friendly welcome from the owner plus the provision of delicious lemon drizzle cake, milk, coffee & teabags. Close to RSPB Frampton Marsh and RSPB Freiston Shore plus lots to see in Boston (The Stump, Guildhall & Fydell House) although in my opinion the shopping centre was a bit run down. The Village Church Farm in Skegness was also worth visiting. I enjoyed & was very satisfied with my stay at Le Chalet and hope to return again - when the roof is repaired!!

  Carol and John were good hosts, giving us eggs and potatoes freshly dug.

  The studio was wonderfully comfortable and the views and wild life excellent. The studio amenities were good although we could have done with more than 1 tea towel and a coffee perculator (the latter quickly found). The bed and sofa were relaxing and a good choice. Our only concern was the shower, essential for 65 year old plus like us, which i found temperamental and possibly down to the relatively low water pressure, number of people sharing a common water supply and using the facilities at the same time as us. Our dog Harry enjoyed great freedom of the extensive lawns and our hosts were very accepting of his adventures. All in all a good value holiday with peace and quiet of some lovely walks and woods. A welcome pack was mentioned in the visitors log but we did not receive one.

  To overlook the ruined remains of Barlings Abbey was a privilege hard to overstate.

  They stood in a field grazed by a handsome herd of Pedigree Longhorns (non-threatening). The ruins are part of the unique Witham Abbeys chain of nine monasteries, all within a few miles of each other. They are set in flattish landscape amongst the Bardney Limewoods scatter of semi-ancient woodlands, a couple of which are within easy walking distance besides hedgerows and becks in handsome farmland. In springtime there are plenty of wildflowers. By the way, the grand but inviting Tudor mansion at Doddington has a fine informal garden with spectacular wild flowers by its stream. All in all it is exactly the world all those young bomber pilots fought and died for in WW2, and they are commemorated everywhere around.

  The property was much more spacious than expected and set in lovely grounds.

  It was lovely to sit either in the lounge or outside and appreciate the birds and squirrels within the garden. Our dog loved the decked area to sit out on and soak up the September sunshine. The choice of bath and shower was lovely and the WiFi was a real bonus. The toiletries and amount of towels couldn’t be faulted, neither could the teabags, coffee, milk and bottles of water left in the kitchen. A couple of suggestions for improvement are more coat hangers in the wardrobe and a hairdryer. A more defined and secure area for a dog would be good as the garden is open plan and shared with the owners. In general it’s a very nice place to have a relaxing break away. We hope to return next year.

  Our stay at West Wing was comfortable and enabled us to explore the surrounding area.

  The accommodation was cosy and well equipped for a self catering stay. There were plenty of cleaning materials/ products provided as well as Towels, Flannels, Soaps and Shower gel plus Hair Dryer in bedroom cupboard. We very much enjoyed the evenings out on the veranda when weather permitted. There is a large flat screen TV in the cosy living room along with some DVD's, Games and Books. RSPB Frampton Marsh very close by and a short drive to Kirton there is a Co op for supplies. It was unfortunate that we did not get to see much of the owners due to the Covid situation. We did feel that with a little modernisation West Wing could offer so much more.
