Most guests found the cottage clean and tidy, with particular praise for the comfortable beds and well-kept hot tub. A few reviews mentioned cobwebs, the need for a deep clean on sofas, and some kitchen items requiring extra washing, but these were exceptions rather than the norm.
The cottage is well situated for local shops, nature reserves, and Skegness, offering both tranquillity and convenience. Guests appreciated the peaceful setting and proximity to village amenities, though one review noted the village itself is quiet.
Guests frequently commented on the spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and relaxing atmosphere. The hot tub and enclosed garden added to the comfort, though a few mentioned the sofas could benefit from a deep clean and soundproofing could be improved for attached properties.
The cottage is well equipped, with a modern shower room, large kitchen, and reliable internet. The hot tub is a standout feature, regularly maintained by staff. Some guests found the oven tricky to use and noted minor maintenance issues, but overall facilities were highly rated.

Lovely place. Owner helpful & sociable. The village has plenty of amenities. Only a short walk from the cottage to the brewery, couple of pubs both doing good food, a chip shop & Chinese. Surrounded by lovely countryside for walks & places to visit.
