Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviews frequently highlight the cleanliness of Pool Cottage, with guests describing the property as spotless and well-maintained. The attention to detail in this regard contributes significantly to the positive experiences reported.

The location of Pool Cottage is highly regarded, with guests enjoying the peaceful Lincolnshire countryside and the convenience of being a short drive from the city of Lincoln. The proximity to local attractions and the beauty of the surroundings are well-received.

Comfort is well-rated, with many guests finding the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, especially with the log burner. However, a few guests mentioned that the double bed was uncomfortable, which slightly impacts the overall comfort score.

The facilities, including the pool, hot tub, and sports equipment, are frequently mentioned as highlights. Nonetheless, some guests noted that certain areas required maintenance or were under renovation during their stay, suggesting room for improvement.

The thoughtfulness of the host is evident in the personalised touches and welcome gifts mentioned in several reviews. While these gifts greatly enhance the guest experience, it is important to note that such extras, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

    The only thing I could suggest could have been better would be a cover on the downstairs quilt apart from that the cottage was perfect.

  • Andrew

    A wonderful cottage gave us an amazing holiday & time to relax , an ideal location & the hot tub was a welcome luxury, the host left us a welcome pack the chocolate brownies were lovely & we repaid the hens the the eggs with watermelon

  • Abigail

    The owner was there to welcome us on arrival and answer any questions we had. She was always available during the week to offer any help if needed. There were chocolate brownies in the kitchen - which our children throughly enjoyed - and fresh eggs for breakfast. The cottage is amazing, very well equipped and comfortable and the hot tub is a great facility. The location is beautiful with surrounding fields, which you can see for miles and the town is only a short drive away. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be retuning in the summer, so the children can go in the swimming pool. I would highly recommend Pool Cottage.
