Put simply, Barn House is superb.It's part of the Aubourn estate and as the name suggests, a barn conversion. This was done fairly recently, and to a high standard: well equipped, comfortable and cosy. So cosy in fact we didn't even need the fire on despite the cold weather.The estate itself is lovely. Easy to find and benefits from grounds you can walk round, tennis court and swimming pool. We didn't use the pool but the tennis court was great. There was a nice welcome pack on arrival, and we were delivered fresh eggs on the first morning. The estate office is just opposite the house so perfect for questions, and easy to book swimming/tennis.Location-wise, it's a 4 minute walk from the pub which is decent, and ideal for exploring Lincoln. It's 15-20 mins drive from the city center and various things to see: the cathedral and castle, International Bomber Command and Doddington Hall, nature reserves etc.All-in-all we couldn't really fault it and we'd 100% stay again.
