My son and I loved staying in Kingfisher Cottage and wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Perfectly positioned within a few minutes walk of the train station, the bus station, eateries, chip shop, co-op, pizza place and a brewery to name but a few! Very easy to jump on a train to Skegness or the other way to Boston, Lincoln, Nottingham ......We visited Lincoln which we loved. The cottage is small but has everything you need. Kitchen was well equipped with some useful things in the cupboard (salt, vinegar, pepper and spray oil). The Internet was patchy but with a little help from Chris we managed. The underfloor heating was nice and kept the cottage nice and cosy. Bathroom and bedroom were good .... perhaps take some hangers with you if you're staying a while (a few in the wardrobe but not many). Outside there was a tennis court which was good and in our garden was the hot tub. We went in most days, switched the colourful lights on and enjoyed the warmth ..... bliss! Chris and Lou were most welcoming and always ready to help if needed. Highly recommended!
