The first bedroom offers a kingsize bed, providing a sumptuous retreat for couples. The second bedroom features twin beds, perfect for friends or family members travelling together.

Andy was extremely helpful and friendly on arrival. We had a wonderful time exploring Lincoln and the surrounding area on bikes and walking. Beautiful area and great walk along the coast too. The cottage is well equipped and a great base. Would definitely recommend it for a quiet location and a base to explore from.

Had a lovely stay in Anvil cottage, even though the weather was against us. Amazing cottage and being met by Andy on arrival was great and nothing seemed too much for him. We were made to feel very welcome and at home. Would definately recommend a stay. Hoping to stay again in the near future.
