Charming Hen Cottage Countryside Retreat Lincoln

10/10 Excellent

"John met us at the gate on our arrival, the property was absolutely spotless . The added touches were absolutely amazing. Not a sound to be heard . A beautiful garden , orchard and an added bonus of a gorgeous little church. We can’t praise our trip enough everyone we could have hoped for and more. Our little dog Albie was able to wander around outside and was welcomed on our arrival. The kitchen had everything you could wish for including a washer, dryer and dishwasher. Even a BBQ outside the door with table , chairs and deckchairs. 100% in every way possible. Highly recommend a stay here . We will definitely be back again for another lovely stay. Ideally situated for visiting Lincoln and the surrounding areas.5* rating at least for the hosts and their property"
