  We stayed a week in this accommodation and had a good stay.

  We chose here as it was dog friendly, having bowls, towels and treats provided for our dog. The welcome items were much appreciated - plumb bread was lovely. The accommodation was homely, very clean (see comment below), with fresh smelling bed linen and towels . The kitchen had everything we needed and the kitchen items and appliances were good quality. This is a good base for visiting the surrounding area. We enjoyed stopping by at RAF Coningsby to watch the Typhoon fighter jets practice. For us, there were a couple of things that although didn’t spoil our stay, could have been slightly improved. The carpet in the hall and lounge, although clean was stained in various places so could do with a clean. There is a glazed door to the double bedroom which has a net across it for privacy but this also lets in light. I would have preferred a solid door or maybe paint over the glass panes? Blackout blinds in the bedrooms would be good - I’m used to sleeping in real darkness. This was not too bad for this time of year but would be a problem during the summer months. The tumble dryer kept stopping and upon inspection the water tray was full and the filter was very thick with fluff- maybe check a bit more often as this could cause a fire. Lastly, the accommodation is on a road that does get busy at times with lorries and heavy vehicles which can be noisy and this also scared our dog when walking on the pavement outside. As I have said, this are just little niggles but not a massive problem and others would probably not find these matters a bother at all. A nice stay in Lincolnshire was had, the local people are very friendly and I had a brief chat with the owner prior to the visit who was equally cheery.

  We chose your property because of the pictures on the site.

  Picture 1 of a beautiful looking bungalow, with a sunken garden. What we got was a tired looking property garden completely overgrown with pot plants and weeds making access to the sunken garden dangerous. Picture 2 table nicely set up to "unspoilt views of the beach" . What we got was a row of 10ft hedges blocking out the view. The table is rotting away. The porch and balcony dirty with cobwebs even the porch ceiling. Teenagers smoking pot made leaving windows open (as you requested) impossible. Picture 3 of sitting room a bright airy room with crisp white curtains. What we got were dull thick curtains a dirty rug, room crammed with sad unloved furniture. The kitchen looked very sad. Cupboards full of every pot and pan, utensils you could wish for but no larder or room to put supplies. No extra purple bin bags. Broken washing up bowl and dust pan and brush. Cutlery and sharp knives in cupboard under sink accessable to young children as no child lock. Bedroom window sills need filling in. Cupboards rammed with linens, leaving little space for clothes or suitcases. No room to hang a dress. No full length mirror. The bathroom - wet room. Not ideal showering and having to mop up after each person otherwise flooding occurs. Who wants to do that at 9.30 at night before bed on first night. Water runs behind the toilet. Its not practical. I see previous people have mentioned the tiredness of the property and furniture before but it doesn't look like any notice has been taken. Hopefully the 2 days after us when there are no bookings someone sorts our findings out. This property could be absolutely wonderful. I have pictures and video if you need evidence

  Our 5th stay at Roselle and we still love this little cottage so much!

  It really is such a welcoming home from home. I honestly don't understand some of the other reviews leaving negative comments about it. It isn't fancy and may be a little worn in places but it's to be expected from a rustic cottage in the countryside - it would be awful and lose so much charm if it became a shiny show home. Roselle is simple and homely - the perfect base for exploring the area or relaxing for the day. Our 3 dogs and 7 year old son are so happy when we're there. When you arrive there's always a lovely welcome - it has become a tradition for us now to always have a slice of Lincolnshire plum loaf and a cup of tea when we get there. We finally made it to Thorpe Camp across the road during this trip and highly recommend it - it's only open on Sundays in off season and also Wednesday during the Summer. It's way bigger inside than we expected, we spent three hours there. So fab having it just across the road and we'll definitely go again! The cottage is also brilliant if you love wildlife and stargazing - the skies are incredible at night, and we also loved watching the bats swoop about. The lavender in the front garden is incredible at this time of year - as is the whole garden. The woodland across the road is wonderful - we love our twice daily walks in the woods. Thank you again to Jo for opening up her lovely cottage and it's gorgeous garden. See you again soon!

  Positives - amazing location and stunning views.

  - lovely balcony. -fully enclosed garden for the dog. Negatives -we spent 45 mins looking for the car parking space at 9pm at night - really terrible directions on the welcome email. Asked many local who also didn't know where undercliff carpark was...should be made clear it is not the 2 public car parks. we called the Sykes cottages emergency voicemail line and no one returned our call despite getting a text from them. - the house is not signposted from the road and when I did finally find it using the what 3 words it was pitch black and overgrown and needed a torch to get into the keysafe. Really not a stress free way to start the holiday. - the property felt quite dirty and run down, with cobwebs/spiders and dust covering the bed frame, the glasses needed re-washing before use. - was unable to shut the washing machine door..therefore unable to wash anything. - I agree that this is not the owners fault but other holiday makers should know that the park situated next to the property is used by the locals to smoke weed on a summer's night, so on 2 occasions we were woken by the youths (who sit right below the balcony) and the bedroom was filled with fumes, so we had to shut the windows.

  The cottage is deceptively small but in a great location.

  It would benefit from a deep clean and it needs a spruce up because it looks very tired. There were cobwebs and some of the glasses and cutlery had to be washed before we could use them. The bathroom needs sorting out - the water goes everywhere from the shower including leaking as far as the bedroom on one occasion. If I needed to wash my hair, my husband had to stand and sweep it back into the shower for the whole duration of the shower. We could not get the tv to work and the instructions in the guest guide are not up to date. I did report this through the first night survey, but it was never followed up by anyone. Finally, I would recommend that you put a sign at the bottom of the steps leading up to the property, it was difficult to find on my first day and if the sign had been there I would have known I was in the right place. Having said this, the location absolutely saves this property and we had a relaxing week.
