A lovely cottage, in a very quiet village, which was perfect for us. Very clean, all the little bits you need are there already. Hot tub was perfect in the minus temps and the Netflix subscription was an added bonus. This was our 4th visit and hope to return.

Fantastic cottage in very quiet rural area but only minutes from Horncastle town. Owner could not have been more helpful. Would certainly book again in the future.

We had a fantastic stay at The Shambles. So peaceful and relaxing. The hot tub was fabulous. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed. Extremely clean. My one and only gripe is a personal one but the bed is very soft. However that would not stop me from returning.
