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!

A really warm, comfortable and cosy cottage with everything you need for a short stay! Very well presented and with a lovely welcome upon arrival. We had a lovely few days in Wainfleet and would definitely recommend Kingfisher Cottage.

The cottage was very nice and warm, Chris welcomed us and was lovely. He explained everything to us and said if we needed anything to let him know. The hot tub was nice just not as hot as I had expected. The biggest down side to it all was the cleanliness, I didn't look as if the floor had been cleaned properly, the was dust and crumbs around the bottom of the cupboards. And worst of all there was black dog hairs on the bed, don't get me wrong we are dog lovers and have a dog of our own. The reason she doesn't go on holiday with us is because she has the run of the house at home, and goes on the furniture, but I wouldn't inflict that on other people whilst on their holidays. There was also dog hairs on the sofa, and in the cutlery draw. I didn't report it and just cleared them up. Although thinking about it now I should have said something at the time. There is a sign asking not to allow dogs on furniture, but obviously some people take no notice. This was very disappointing, but apart from that and not having a pair of scissors in the kitchen we had a good holiday
