What our customers say about their holidays
Barbara - Verified booking
Roebuck Retreat is a nice bungalow with a lovely modern kitchen and a range of comfy chairs in lounge area.
There is an enormous patio with good views over the countryside. However, it was let down by the fact that the combi boiler hadn't been checked, it had lost working pressure( the gauge was showing zero pressure) and needed repressurising (a 5 minute job). Sykes only give a landline phone number for contact with their emergency team, not much good if you are deaf like we are but we texted my son at home to contact them but apart from saying they would contact the owner and providing a mobile number for the housekeeper ( which we sent a text to but no reply from her) NO ACTION or prompt help was done. In the end as we have a combi boiler ourselves and know how to set the pressure we did it ourselves so we could have hot water. We are home now and its eight days since we texted the housekeeper and still waiting a reply. If we had not known how to reset it we would have been without hot water for the whole weeks holiday. We were initially reluctant to reset boiler as it is not ours and did think of asking my son to call out an emergency plumber as we had not heard back and still haven't from the housekeeper. The lack of WiFi and the very small tv are unusual as most holiday lets we have stayed in in the past provide a full sized TV and WiFi. The arrangement of the way one bedroom and bathroom doors open into hall while the other two open into the rooms takes getting used to. The bathroom has a shower over the bath running off a mixer tap, the taps were difficult to operate to get the shower running at the right temperature, in fact all the bathroom taps could do with replacement washers if not outright replacement. The external door locks could do with a shot of WD40 so they operate smoothly while the front door handles look ready to pull out of their housing. There is an infestation of ants under the patio doors. The duvet on the double bed was winter weight and that on top of the memory foam mattress made for hot uncomfortable nights. The bedroom curtains could do with black out linings as the sunrises early and floods the bedrooms with light The roads leading to the property are unmade and make for a bumpy ride especially over the speed humps. The property is also quite remote and there are no local shops within walking distance, not even a general store on the site. Finally, there is a lack of storage for suitcases, not a problem if only 2 people staying as they can use the second bedroom. The owner has stored large bags on top of cupboard in hall and bedding on the top of the "open" wardrobes in the bedrooms. To sum up, Sykes need to get their act together regarding emergency repairs, the owner needs to leave a mobile contact number for the same reason. It does not help that currently check in times are after 5pm ( a hangover from Covid, in theory properties needed to be cleaned, disinfected and aired ), a check in time of 3pm would give more time to fix any problems found upon arrival.

This cottage was brilliant and being close to Lincoln as well as local shops in Nettleham with good pubs a Co-op and all the usual takeaways you could not ask for more.
The owners Dave & Fran were really lovely people and were next door if you needed them for anything.We enjoyed the surroundings with the stream running through the village and the garden was nice and peaceful to sit out with a glass of wine (kindly supplied by the owners). We were not short of sites to visit as we are National Trust members what really made my day was a visit to Bomber Command where the Lancaster bomber was working taking people for a short run around the field (expensive if you wished to take part, around £400 pounds per person which included lunch a bit too expensive for me). The other venue worth a visit is the Transport Museum not far from the cottage, the owner there is a lovely lady who showed us around and we had a really enjoyable few hours there. All in all this holiday was one of the best we have had and we would certainly recommend it to anyone.

The property was very comfortable, warm and clean and did not lack any facilities.
We much appreciated the welcome basket and information folder, and Mr and Mrs Spencer were very helpful. There was more than enough room for our party of four and all the rooms were nicely furnished with plenty of space for storage. Nettleham is a very pleasant village well served with a Co-op store, a Pharmacy and three pubs, of which we found the Plough to be friendly and with an excellent Greek menu. The other two pubs were also welcoming and all were within a short walking distance. A local bus was hourly into Lincoln as was a bus to Grimsby. To sum up, we had a great week's holiday here and would certainly recommend 22 Beckside to anyone thinking of staying in the area.

The cottage is situated in a picturesque location in a delightful village close to Lincoln.
The village has cafes, and pubs that do great meals. The cottage was scrupulously clean, and full of interesting objects.The friendly owners live next door and are on hand to provide assistance, but unobtrusively. We found that everything we needed was on hand, and full instructions were provided in a folder.The internet was very good. Getting into the centre of Lincoln was simple using the Park and Ride only five minutes or so away. Over the years we have visited many very good Sykes cottages.We very much enjoyed our time here, and we feel that this cottage ranks at the very top of the list

We had a great week using Grove Cottage as our base, with space for both our cars plus the people's in the other cottages.
The cottage was nicely decorated, clean, well equipped and the small welcome pack was appreciated (coffee, tea and sugar were also provided). Although part of a farm, there was hardly any noise during the day and it was very peaceful in the evening. Large supermarkets and retail park within 12-15 minutes drive in West Auckland and the same time to drive to the beautiful Barnard castle with a good range of independent restaurants, cafes and shops (including a range of antique shops). We would deffinatly look at booking again when back in the area.
