excellent breakfasteasy parkingsmall roommisleading information
I appreciated the big, clean, and modern room (I got a Single Room). The breakfast was excellent, and the staff was friendly. I also liked the easy parking.
The room was quite comfortable, and quiet, but it was rather small. The room needs updating. I had to pay extra.

lovely stay in the countryside

convenient locationwarm hospitalityfirst class breakfastdated decor
the guesthouse location made exploring lincolnshire easy and convenient it was a great base for travel to nearby attractions the owners showed warm hospitality and i felt very relaxed. my room felt cosy and had sufficient light it also provided adequate privacy . the breakfast was first class and plentiful so i felt really satisfied.
the room felt a little small for an extended stay though comfortable it could benefit from some modern updates. the current decor felt somewhat dated. i believe a refresh would enhance the overall experience.

The room was a superior double room. It was equipped with everything I could possibly need and plenty of tea and coffee was supplied (i enjoyed this small detail!).
The room was quite comfortable, and very quiet. it was rather small and needs updating, as it was very old fashioned (i would prefer a more modern decoration).
