  This property was beautiful.

  It was clean and tidy and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. BEWARE!! We booked it specifically for the hot tub and it's privacy. The hot tub was amazing but we only got it for 2 nights out of our 3 night stay!!!! We were told to stop using it after 6pm on the last night so it could be cleaned down the next occupants. This was not made clear in the listing and if it had been, we would definitely NOT have booked it. We felt forced to go out on the last night so they could access the property to clean, empty and refill the hot tub for the next guests (who by-the-way didn't arrive until 3pm the following day!!!) When we came back it was still being refilled for several hours so we closed the curtains and sat watching TV in the cottage on our last night in stead of getting the last use of the hot tub. This was not what we paid for. We paid to have use of the hot tub for 3 nights and this totally spoiled the holiday, we were not impressed. Our Son was particularly disappointed because this cottage was his choice specifially for the use of the hot tub . I can't believe they did this and get away with it, we felt like we were an inconvience to them. You wouldn't do this is any other setting and be allowed to get away with it. If they needed time to prepare the hot tub for the next guests this should have been factored into their time not ours!!! In the future they should NOT book another occupant for the following day. There should be a gap between the bookings so they have time to clean and prepare the hot tub for the next guests. Our last night was totally ruined and it was a shame because we were really enjoying our stay. We used the hot tub of an evening so we could relax after a day of exploring the area. I would never book this venue again which is such a shame. I dont want to spend a full day disputing with the owner by text message while we were on a day trip. This really upset the family. If people don't want to use the hot tub this is a lovely cottage. However if you book it specifically for the hot tub, don't bother!! If you book 2 nights you will only get use of the hot tub for one night....this is a total rip-off. I will be seeking a partial refund for all the inconvenience.

  Wow! What can I say about Daisy Tree Cottage?

  ! First of all, a BIG thank-you to the lovely host Clare, for letting us stay at this stunning property. We all have thoroughly enjoyed it. Right from the comfortable beds, and well catered to supplies in the bathrooms and kitchen (essentials like these are a must! Tired of going away and forgetting something, then having to fork out to add extras or kitchen equipment as it's not supplied). The host was absolutely lovely. We loved the games room, the well maintained garden and the hottub. The property overall was very clean and cosy. We loved the complimentary goodies especially the wine and the plum loaf. The whole area was very quaint and charming and very enjoyable. If I could choose to live anywhere, then I think this would be my heaven on earth dream come true. My youngest was hype about it when he got back, says it was the best holiday ever! My eldest, although a bit fussy, was glad of the comfy mattress, as the last holiday we went on, had awful lumpy ones, so at least he slept better this time. We just adored this place, it was so nice and peaceful here. Also, the shops were very easy to reach and there was an especially nice bakery, which sold some rather exquisite delectables. Overall, I think 10/10 doesn't seem fair, as this property is more a 100/10! Walking through that door the first day, after having lost a day due to a mix-up with the hire car, was such a welcome relief. Just absolutely loved it through and through. Many thanks for making holidays great again. ❤️

  We loved staying in Brambleberry Barn.

  It is beautifully spacious, clean and exceptionally well equipped. As we had our dog with us it was very important the garden was enclosed. It is and we could relax knowing he was safe. He loved the garden btw. We were blessed with wonderful sunny weather so the air conditioning in the living area was a great bonus. We liked the location being a short drive from Spilsby. It was very quiet with lovely views and a good base for different types of days out ( Skegness, Gunby Hall, Tattershall Castle,Woodhall Spa and the Kinema). Plus Thursday -Sunday a short walk to the Eaves Inn ( great food and staff). The furnishings inside the Barn were good quality. The gardener came while we were there and we saw how well kept it was. The farmer also cut and baled the hay in the field which entertained the dog! Minor maintenance is needed on the downstairs bathroom shower cord; upstairs smaller en-suite towel rail. Please check the living room rug for anti slip as we had to be careful with it folding up. Maybe consider a front gate as we were nervous the dog might slip past us when opening the front door. But it is a very quiet road and the dog enjoyed his ‘perch’ on the middle landing. Also a second front door key would be handy as we were 2 families with cars sometimes wanting to do different things. Thank you for this wonderful accommodation. We have recommended it to our sister and her adult children ( with dogs).

  Brambleberry barn is a beautiful, comfortable, spacious, light, quiet and warm place to stay.

  All the beds were comfortable and clean. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and there is plenty of good seating in the living room. All the rooms garden and hot tub enjoy fantastic views especially of the sunsets. The utility room was very useful with 2 dogs and the dog extras like towels and bowls were lovely. The garden is large and fully enclosed, even for my Yorkshire Terrier. The quality of the fixtures and fittings is plain to see. Our only niggle was the fact that the driveway is shared with the person in the annex, attached to the barn. We had no idea that there was a shared driveway or in fact someone else would be on site and we think Sykes should make that clear when promoting the barn. Although, the information given on Sykes said parking for 3 cars, when we looked at the photos, we realised that we could easily park 4 cars. We were a party of 4 single ladies travelling from different directions and needed the space so this was important to us. However, what we didn’t know of course was the fact that the driveway is shared! Luckily, we had small cars so we managed by careful parking but we feel this is an important fact to advertise!

  We (family of 4 with 5 and 7 year olds) had a lovely stay at South Lodge Cottage.

  Communication with the hosts before and during the stay was excellent, and the homemade cake on arrival was delicious (although we didn't manage to finish it all!!). The cottage itself was very clean and was actually more spacious than we thought it would be. It was very well equipped with everything we needed for a three night stay. Smart TV was useful for catching up with Netflix with a glass of wine once the kids were in bed! Good central heating system which kept us nice and cosy, as well as on demand hot water. Great location too. We visted Dovedale, Derby, Sudbury Hall as well as going slightly further out towards Castleton. Unfortunately, we visited during Storm Dennis, so we couldn't make the most of the beautiful garden although our boys still had a run around out there and looked for fish in the pond. I imagine it would be fantastic on a warm summers day. I would highly recommend this cottage! Thank you for a lovely stay.
