What our customers say about their holidays

  An truly idyllic place to stay.

  This was our second stay at The Old Wood Coach House and I can only say we appreciated it even more the second time around. It has everything you need, and all that you never knew you needed! The owners have produced a lovely holiday home in a peaceful, tranquil environment. Perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Surrounded by nature, and accessible only by small tree lined roads, it's a little like travelling into a fairytale. The love, energy and effort that has gone into creating such a beautiful and natural retreat can be seen in an abundance of small details. The gently cultivated garden encourages local wildlife and one can lose hours watching the birds, squirrels, frogs and others roam free. Our little dog was a tad confused when one day he stepped outside into what can only be described as a "cloud of butterflies!" The house is also not short of "mod cons", to name just a few - rainfall showers in both bathrooms (one also has a bath tub), a "smart" hob and oven, a speaker for your playlist if you so choose , many little touches that make sure your stay is as easy, comfortable and pleasant as possible. There is no wifi, very little "cell signal" or "data coverage", but it can be found in certain areas of the house and garden if wanted or needed. It was a refreshing change not to be held hostage by pinging phones or computers, but also handy to know we could access it if need be. The owners, although only next door, are not intrusive, and ensure their guests are given privacy. However, in the event of any issues, they are friendly; quick, efficent in dealing with them. Local amenities are near by and easily accessible. Essentially, one has the best of all worlds at The Old Wood Coach House.

  Outstanding.

  The place itself is not only the cleanest holiday rental we have ever stayed in, it has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The owners have thought of everything for both people and dogs. There is a detailed excellent list of facilities in the area, things to do and places to eat. They provided blankets, towels and throws for the dogs along with treats & bowls and the shower area is genius. You can do everything you need to in the downstairs utility room with the dogs so they are clean to go upstairs. If you are looking at this place but are worried about dogs having been there, don't be as it's super clean. The lovely attentive owners are on hand if you need anything via text or phone. Other than popping round to say hello after you arrive, to ask if you need anything, you don't see them and they completely respect your privacy. A little welcome pack is waiting for you with homemade goods, which are beautiful. The area is idilic and very peaceful and the woods are fantastic for walking the dogs. Both our dogs loved it and 1 of them spent most of her time on the balcony watching the wildlife and the birds and squirrels on the bird feeder. The garden is completely secure and large, sometimes a property says its secure, but it's not. So nice to be able to let the dogs roam and not have to worry about them escaping. Our only complaint was that we were only there for 3 days and really wish we had booked for a week. We all had a wonderfully relaxing few days and slept amazing well, we wish more rentals were like this. Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for people and the fury family to spend their holidays. Fabulous.

  Old Wood Coach House certainly has the "wow" factor .

  A perfect place for a peaceful retreat from the outside world, but close enough to local places to visit. Decorated to a very high standard and is very well equipped, including a doggie shower on the lower level. The accommodation offers two great showers and the dishwasher was an added bonus. The main living area is upstairs and overlooks the local wood which is next door to the property and offers a great place for walking . The view from the lounge and outside verandah gives the feeling of staying and living in a tree house . Katharine and David were perfect hosts and live next door to the property and were very attentive in filling up the logs for the log burner and the nuts and seeds for the bird feeders which attracted many different bird life and funny antics by the squirrels. Their welcome pack was very thoughtful and very much appreciated ,including homemade.jams,lemon drizzle.cake and vase of daffodils .1 If you want a place away from the hustle and bustle of a busy life and a delightful home from home to relax and recharge your batteries ,this is the place to come .No WiFi helps in the unwinding and relaxation process. A real tonic and fantastic property ,highly recommend and will definitely return.

  Superb property in a very private location.

  We loved the details provided by the host (freshly baked cake on arrival, jam and marmalade, fridge full of essentials etc). They didn't have to do this and it wasn't expected but such a lovely touch. Lincoln is only 15 mins away by car and the local village has a lovely pub and a few takeaways if you're feeling lazy. There are plenty of woodland walks on your doorstep so this is great if you're taking kids, pets or if you just fancy a romantic walk with your other half. My only negative about the property was the lack of WiFi as I received little or no signal while in the building. WiFi isn't stated on the amenities but I assumed it would have it regardless as most cottages usually do these days. Bottom line, great destination and a very welcoming host. I have recommended to a few people already and we may come back in the Summer. Thanks for being such a lovely host. Ryan.

  What a fabulous cottage and location .

  If you are thinking about going then think no more and book it ! . Absolutely perfect set up for our canine buddies. Fantastic woodland walks straight from the doorstep and when you get back straight into the doggy shower room for a warm wash down , just simply amazing. The cottage itself is so warm and cozy . We didn't light the log burner as it was warm enough without it but it certainly looked great . The beds were comfortable and the rooms spacious. There was a welcome basket waiting for us which was fab with a home baked chocolate loaf too ! . The lovely owners greeted us on arrival and made us very welcome and though their property is situated next door they were not all intrusive. I have been to lots of holiday lets and if you are looking for a quiet retreat without a phone signal or wi-fi ( bliss ) then this is the place for you . You won't be disappointed.
