What our customers say about their holidays

  Family of 7 from 11years to 88years old.

  This house was amazing, we had a really relaxing holiday. It was like home from home in terms of feeling comfortable. The views were wonderful, my mum spend most of the week sat outside appreciating them. There is plenty of space to spread out, and haveing two lounges in our case was great for children to have their own lounge/TV. Internet connection was very good, another bonus for the children. Well equipped kitchen and nice large table for the family to sit comfortably at for meals. Beds and pillows are very comfortable with lovely crisp white bedding. We had a day out at Carsington Water Centre (8 mins drive) which has lots of water sports, bike hire, walk etc and well worth a visit. Shops are only a short drive away and some chippy/pubs did delivery which was great if you wanted a night off from cooking. I did not feel the house was suitable for anyone with mobility problems. My mum walks with a stick and is not very good getting up stairs. Sadly the walk- in shower was upstairs and she was unable to use the stairs. The downstairs bathroom is very small and unless you can climb into the bath (difficult) to use the over bath shower you are without a shower for the week.

  Me, my wife and our 2 dogs (Poppy & Bradley) spent a week at Jolls cottage in November.

  We had an absolutely amazing week, this cottage is clean and spacious, and has everything you could possibly need, the cupboards and drawers had every pot, pan and utensil that you need in a kitchen, the coffee maker and Nespresso pods was a nice touch along with the welcome gifts on arrival. The garden is huge and secure and well lit at night. Unfortunately, we had snow whilst we were there and although it looked extra beautiful it did restrict the use of the patio area and the hot tub although the hot tub looked very warm and welcoming, we also didn't make use of the garden room but again it had so many books, CDs and board games and a dart board which would be enough to keep any family happy for a week. The 2 log burners (Kitchen/Diner & Living room) were nice on the cold snowy evenings. There was so much around the area to see and do and plenty of cafes and pubs if you want to eat out and although the cottage is off the beaten track, you are not far from the main roads to Horncastle and Skegness. Having stayed at many cottages throughout the uk, Jolls is definitely up there as one of the best we have stayed at.

  What can we say about Jolls that hasn't already been said by others?

  The cottage is the perfect marriage of old and new and boasts a charming air of years gone by. The location is perfect for a trip to the beach or a wander through the woods with plenty to see and do for humans and dogs alike. The fabulous (safe and enclosed) garden gave our dogs hours of fun even though the weather wasn't particularly kind. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need including the easiest cooker we've ever used in a holiday let! The living room is very cosy but we did keep setting the fire alarm off with the real fire so learnt not to over stack it! The stairs to the lovely two bedrooms upstairs are very narrow and steep which is pointed out before booking, so maybe best to stick the kids upstairs and not granny. The outside man cave is a lovely addition and we watched the football in there on the first night. I have no problem recommending Jolls and will most certainly be returning when the weather is a little kinder!

  We had a brilliant short break in this fabulous property.

  It was immaculate - spotlessly clean, the decor great and the attention to detail was superb. The house was really spacious so suited our party of six perfectly. It was well eqipped and had pretty much everything that we needed. We were even provided with a lovely welcome pack which was a nice touch and very much appreciated. The garden was lovely and there is plenty of space for parking both at the front and rear. The house is ideally located with Boston town centre about a 15 minute walk away. It is situated on quite a busy road though so there is some traffic noise at the front. It's also very close to the coast and several National Trust properties, and Lincoln is less than an hour away. The host was quick to respond to any queries we had and was very helpful. All in all, this is a beautiful house and one we would definitely love to stay in again - highly recommend it. Thank you very much!

  Fantastic property within a 15 minute walk of town centre and 3 minutes to a delightful dog friendly pub that serves great home cooked food.

  The property has plenty of space and lovely decor with a massive garden which our puppy loved having her zoomies. We were a group of 7 so never got under each other's feet and thoroughly enjoyed cooking the enormous kitchen. The owner left us some goodies for our stay and her lemon cake is to die for (we have stolen the recipe from her:) they made us most welcome. The larger living room has netflix, prime etc to view and the smaller room has a games machine in it. I haven't played one of these for over 40 years so completely lost at pac man:) Plenty of storage space downstairs which is unusual because most cottages pack it all full with no space for food etc but we had plenty. I would completely recommend this property to anyone wanting to be local distance to amenities and in need of space.
