Lovely, well equipped accommodation, very cosy with the woodburner alight. Ideally situated near shops, takeaways and the train station. Welcome Pack was well stocked, especially the delicious home made bread. The owner was very welcoming, popping over to make sure we'd settled in okay. We would definitely return if staying in the area.

We've just returned from a cosy, comfortable relaxing break at The Old Forge. Everything you could need is catered for and is of a high standard with the added bonus of overlooking a lovely garden. There are two local shops, two pubs, an amazing fish and chip shop and the station is just around the corner with direct links into Lincoln. You need nothing more! We will definitely be back when in this area again. Thank you David and Susan.

Spacious, clean and well equipped.
Spacious, clean and well equipped. Nice welcome pack and friendly greeting from the owner. Lovely village with good amenities including a railway station a couple of minutes from the cottage. Lincoln is just 10 minutes away on the train. Lots to do even in November. One of the best places we've been to.

What a little gem this is.
What a little gem this is. We had had a few quite stressful weeks and needed a relaxing break. This was quite the loveliest and relaxing holiday home we have stayed in. The cottage is fabulously equipped and a welcome pack with home made bread is included. We hadn’t visited this area before and the cottage is so well placed for Lincoln, having both a regular bus and train service on the doorstep - amazing! Ten mins into Lincoln. The village itself has a late shop almost opposite, 2 pubs, a great fish chip shop and a Chinese. A five star â place, we’ll be back.

Lovely conversion of the actual forge.
Lovely conversion of the actual forge. Owners have paid attention to the details. Well kitted out and nicely decorated. Parking space to the side of the property but care needed when emerging on to main road. Welcome basket was very thoughtful.
