The property was better than the pictures and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The beds were comfortable and the seating in the garden was a joy in the sunshine. Communication from the owner was very quick and helpful ensuring we could get into the property with ease. It’s in a great location for exploring Lincoln and has some lovely green spaces nearby. The station is also within walking distance too which was very handy. Would definitely stay again if we revisited the area.
