Anvil Cottage is snug, cosy and very comfortable. It is situated in a delightful rural position, but is still only five miles from Louth, where all amenities can be found. It was marvellous walking our dog in splendid countryside. The cottage was spotlessly clean, the kitchen very well-equipped, lots of games were provided, beds were very comfortable and it was beautifully warm. Our host, Andy, could not have been nicer- really helpful, thoughtful and kind and he went that extra mile to ensure our short break was enjoyable. I highly recommend Anvil Cottage.

Our second stay at Anvil Cottage, we loved this hidden gem in the Wolds just as much as last time. Surrounded by history and nature, it was the perfect escape for the half-term break. All the best for whatever you do next, Andy.

Was a lovely cottage, super clean and well equipped. Andy the owner met us there, was so friendly and welcoming. And the fresh eggs and um bread was a lovely welcome pack too. We will definitely stay again when we return to Lincolnshire.
