Perfection

Already missing our time at the Oak Loft! Thank you Karen and John for a perfect 2 week stay at your lovely property. Everything we were looking for our stay was achieved. The peace, quiet and the beautiful surroundings added to the apartment. We so loved sitting in the picnic orchard every evening. Everything you need for cooking, grilling, etc was provided. We were so sad to leave because we were beginning to feel like we really belonged there. It felt like home to us. We will be back, that is for sure! Thank you again for everything! All the best, Kristi and Dameon

Great place to stay! Everything you need for a perfect holiday. Only a short car ride into Lincoln. We enjoyed our visit to the castle, cathedral and the walk up Steep Hill which is a cobbled street lined with independent shops, cafes and restaurants.

Cosy and very well appointed

My husband and I spent 11 days at the Oak Loft. Karen and John made us very welcome and were happy for us to keep our bikes, when not in use, in their tack room. The Oak Loft was beautifully clean and had everything we needed. All the equipment was of a high standard. Karen left a lovely welcome tray with fresh bread, a Lincolnshire Plum loaf and other bits and pieces. We had a relaxing holiday and would certainly stay at the Oak Loft again if we were in the area.
