  This is a lovely cottage, there are good aspects of it, some excellent but also some not so good.

  It is beautiful to look at, well positioned and in a great location. Everything we needed was close by. Like another review, we also had difficulty getting in when we arrived and as it was raining hard it was annoying. The key safe box is really stiff and trying to get the gate open was awkward only to realise the lock doesn't catch so it wasn't locked anyway! The rooms are well laid out, the kitchen is extremely well equipped, lovely big fridge, big enough freezer. T-towels, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid the list of what is provided for goes on. And the welcome box was a lovely bonus. Lounge was great, very relaxing, cozy with two dogs but other than sit and watch TV with a cuppa or G&T what else do you need. We found the house a bit chilly and felt damp on arrival but maybe had been empty previous to us being there, put the heating on and warmed up eventually. Upstairs, lovely big bedroom (we didn't use the other one), bed really comfy. We couldn't get the TV to work upstairs as there wasn't a signal which was a bit odd. There were a couple of not so good bits, the bathroom tiles were a bit grim with black mould in the grouting, you can actually see it in the photos but don't realise until you get in the shower. The bathroom blind broke and had to stay down for our stay. The most disappointing bit is the outside, the enclosed garden is just the courtyard, we had expected as it was dog friendly that we would have a grass area where we could let the dogs into and as ours won't "go" on the patio we had to take them out on leads to the front for their toilets. I should have realised when I read the listing so I take responsibility for this but just offering as a warning to others if they have fussy dogs. I didn't like the view from the courtyard which is of a rough old bit of land looking at a run down building with broken windows, a higher fence or something would take the edge of that eyesore.

  The property is exactly like the photos.

  It's incredibly comfortable, spacious and in a peaceful and quiet location, situated very handy for visiting local attractions. It's worth mentioning that there's an iron and ironing board and lots of games to play! Dawn and Pete, who own the property, live nearby and nothing is a bother for them. I had the unfortunate experience of my car breaking down mid stay. The RAC recovered it to a local garage. This meant we missed our 10am departure time by 1 1/2 hours. I kept them informed and they let us stay and cleaned around us (next holiday makers due by 4pm!) And Pete even gave me a lift to the garage to collect my car. Above and beyond! The back garden is a proper sun trap and we had fantastic weather all week. It is completely enclosed and we loved being able to let our little dog out without worrying he could escape! The beds are really compfy and the whole house has everything you need and more to make you feel right at home. Will definitely return.

  Enjoyed our stay at the old Rectory, decorated to a high standard and in a great location.

  It took a short while to work out how to get in (through the gate and two locks on the kitchen door) and when it snowed/rained it was a bit squelchy underfoot near the gate. Large comfortable sofas, just a tad too low for our old knees! Bed very comfortable indeed and the shower worked very well. Constantly having to straighten the lounge rug under the coffee table, it wrinkled at the slightest movement. The welcome box had some great things in it, much appreciated. The heating worked very well with a Nest thermostat in the kitchen which mostly tracked our needs. We mostly ate out but cooked a little on the very large complicated range which we never found the instructions for but managed to work out. The wifi was mostly reliable although we noticed it restarted a couple of times during our stay. The cottage yard was very dog friendly and no doubt is a lovely suntrap in the summer months.

  We had a delightful stay over Easter at this charming cottage.

  It exceeded our expectations, starting with a well-equipped kitchen, to the very comfortable beds. The interior was stylishly decorated, blending modern with rustic charm. The courtyard garden is more spacious than photos suggest and became our private suntrap. The location is ideal. Nestled on the village green next to the church. And we were only a 2-minute walk from a very friendly local pub where we enjoyed some great meals and even took part in the quiz night. Accessibility to Lincoln was easy. We walked along the river, and the surrounding area offered plenty of walking routes, including a trip to Mablethorpe and Skegness. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with easy access to local attractions and nature.

  Starfield is very worthy of its 5 star rating.

  It is beautifuly clean, spacious and kitted out perfectly. The owners have supplied all the creature comforts you need, they consideratley kept in touch to make sure we were all ok. On arriving it was very thoughtful to recieve some goodies to eat and drink, including some dog treats. Starfield is well situated with a Coop store a few minutes walk and a 15 minute drive to Lincoln. There are many walks from the doorstep for those with dogs, and for those who are more adventerous you can walk or cycle to Lincoln and back along a well kept pathway, there and back in around 10 miles. There are lots of local attractions near by, within 20 minutes drive. We had a great week and would highly recommend Starfields. Thank you. Michael & Family
