Cottage was clean and had everything we need for our family. Lovely hosts. ##### Lynda W. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelsey B. 22 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Such a lovely cottage. The hen welcoming committee comes around a few times a day to see how you're doing, which our infant loved. The love triangle of golden pheasantsbdarting to and fro in the yard was also entertaining. As our stay was for a conference in Lincoln, we made ourselves at home, making full use of the kitchen and laundry. The wi-fi and nice kitchen table made working here comfortable, even with a baby in tow. The quirky but sophisticated decor was also a treat -- we tried to figure out what the creatures were on the Anthropologie rug in the kids' bedroom! Highly recommend this nice cottage, which feels quite secluded despite being mere minutes from shops. We felt like we could have lived here for years! ##### Kelsey B.
