  We had a wonderful weekend!

  I was the 'chief booker' so I asked my friends and family to tell me what they thought so I could give an accurate review and this is what they had to say:- "What a fantastic venue for our friends and family weekend. A most beautiful house and garden with everything we needed for a brilliant weekend; from super kitchen and dining facilities making it easy to cater for the 12 of us. The super hot tub was a great bonus and was enjoyed by us all. A weekend to remember thank you." "What a lovely property- fabulous for friends / family get together- spacious bedrooms, large living area, lovely and clean with everything you could need. Beautiful spacious garden- would highly recommend for a get together." "A superb rental property, ideally suited for large groups. Lots of space for everyone, so we never got in each other’s ways; extremely well equipped; delightful, extensive garden space. Cannot recommend highly enough." "Fabulous, large, well equipped house. The garden was simply amazing as was the hot tub." I booked this house because it was a central location for all of us and it looked to have plenty of room for 12 of us and it did not disappoint! There were plenty of bathrooms, plenty of little areas where people could go and chill out if they wanted to, and the big room at the back with the vaulted ceiling was fabulous - we spent most of our time in there. We loved the well-equipped kitchen - trying out cooking on the aga was great fun - we also enjoyed a takeaway that we had delivered on the Friday night. The garden was awesome. If you have got children and the weather is nice they will just LOVE it. As everyone else said, we also really enjoyed a dip in the hot tub - what a treat. Loads of space, lovely house and a great location just off the A1 but not that you would know it, it was so peaceful. Also very reassuring to know that the house manager was just across the road should we have needed him (which we didn't). There was plenty of parking for all of us, too. Highly recommended for a friends and family gathering."

  The photos of the property on Sykes Cottages site make it appear larger than it is.

  There was a sharp broken tile in the kitchen, a door off its hinges up stairs which was just left leaning against the wall, loose bath panel, poorly repaired sofas which looked horrible, the wheelie bins were full upon our arrival meaning we had nowhere to dispose of rubbish, the chairs at the dining table were in a poor state, there were not 2 washing machines - 1 was a tumble dryer which is actually better, the property was full of left food from previous tenants in the cupboards and fridge, the washing machine had lots of hair in it, I got trapped in the side porch as there is no handle on the inside, the fan in the twin room was thick with dust, female sanitary items were left in the bathroom cabinet, the bottom of the fireplace was hanging off, dog food left in a cupboard, medication left in the kitchen drawer along with syringes (without needles). There was a torn sheet on one of the single beds. I had to wash some of the plates before I could use them as they were dirty, the frying pan was sticky with grease and still had remnants of oil in it. One of the security lights outside lit up the downstairs double bedroom making it difficult to sleep, there was the same problem upstairs in the balcony room as there was no curtain at the window. The hand rail on the steps outside was too big to grip and the rail the other side of the gate couldn't be used as it was all splintered. It was surprising that dogs were not allowed on the furniture as it was all already damaged. All in all, the property was not at the standard the photographs showed, in fact some of it was incredibly dangerous, I feel that I have paid far too much for the stay there and would welcome a partial refund. The property was very clean and comfortable but I will not go again.

  My partner and I have just stayed here with two other couples and two dogs over the August Bank Holiday weekend and we had a great time.

  The beds are really comfortable, there was plenty of utensils (despite other reviews saying there was nothing), the interior was all a really high quality.....for what we paid I think it was huge value for money. The hosts looked after us well and even when we had a slight issue with how dirty the hot tub got on the 2nd day after the farmer had been working in the field next door, they happily came and cleaned it for us so we could carry on using it. The only thing I would say is that you'd have to be careful if you took dogs because the garden isn't enclosed. We took a giant pen with us to put around the patio area so it wasn't a problem, however if your dog is a bit of a runner or their recall isn't the best I'd just be mindful as the Stables is situated right next to a road (albeit not a busy one). It is also situated in the middle of nowhere and therefore quite exposed to the elements, so whilst its scenic and very tranquil, I'd recommend packing a blanket or a decent hoodie to wear if you want to sit outside afternoon/evening time. Overall a very good place to stay and I would happily book this venue again.

  This must be one of the best lodges I have been to.

  We were altogether 3 families who stayed in this beautiful lodge, which is conveniently located in the heart of Grantham, Lincolnshire. There were14 of us in total, half adults half kids, but the house could accommodate more people…..that gives you a size of it’s magnitude! It is very child friendly with an outdoor play area comprising of a tree house with slide/swings and a huge trampoline. It has a massive pitch which can be used for football with good nets on each end. The hot tub is to die for….. powerful jets under a canopy which stops leaves/debris from going inside the tub. Inside the lodge is very spacious, you can decide whether to sit in the huge living room at the back or the more traditional front room with its soft furnishings and family feel/vibe. The dining table room had about 20 seats and it was lovely how everyone could sit down together to eat. The table tennis room was a big hit with the older kids who spent hours on end playing, i’me grateful they weren’t in front of a screen ! The lodge also included games and we loved playing family fortunes… some great questions

  This was a fabulous property for a family get together.

  Plenty of space and everything you could need for a home from home. The hot tub was fabulous, the huge garden was amazing for our 3 year old grandson to play on. We noticed a few cobwebs in the master bedroom, only a small issue but easily sorted. The smell from the drains was quite strong from arrival, we put it down to it being in the countryside but it got worse and was a bit off putting when wanting to use the BBQ and hot tub. On the last day we mentioned it to the maintenance guy who agreed it was very strong and shouldn’t be that bad as they had only recently been serviced. The large sofa in the lounge was very uncomfortable to sit on. Provision of a couple of fans would be useful as the smaller bedrooms got quite warm. All of these things are very small and did not spoil our experience significantly. Our main feedback is that 10 am checkout is very early and hard work to move out 3 families with babies and children, have breakfast and aim to leave the place as clean and tidy as possible. 11 am or even 12 midday would be much better. Overall we all enjoyed the stables and fasciitis very much
