Ticks all the boxes

We were greeted by John who told us if we had any problems to let him know. The property itself was comfortable, homely yet private. We would not hesitate to book again when next in the area.

Home from home

An excellent little property that is truly home from home. All the facilities you could wish for and truly lovely hosts, who provided provisions such as bread, butter, tea, coffee, jam and marmalade. John gave us ideas for days out, places to eat and was really helpful. Will certainly be returning to this home from home.

We arrived to a warm and welcoming cottage, everything was beautifully set out, together with a most appreciated fridge of essentials. Lots of information on places to visit, walks etc. from our kind host’s which we took full advantage of, making a lovely memorable holiday.

Peaceful very comfortable stay in Lincolnshire

My wife & I enjoyed our six-night stay @ The Saddlery. It is very well presented & was very clean. The welcome pack is a nice touch. Plenty of room to park our car. Well appointed kitchen/dining area & lounge. Comfortable bed, lovely bathroom with fabulous power shower, lots of lovely large clean towels. Plenty of wardrobe/drawer space. One of the best holiday cottages we have stayed at. Would recommend to friends & family. John our host was very polite & gracious.

Lovely property; great location!

This delightful cottage is cosy and beautifully decorated. Well-equipped kitchen; sleek, elegant bathroom with powerful shower. So pretty throughout! Owner is very helpful and knowledgeable about the local area without being at all intrusive. Folders of useful information available in the cottage. Walking distance of good village store and 2 pubs — although the better of the pubs in our opinion (The New Inn) is a bit of a hike (you will work up a thirst!). Very attractive village — great location for checking out the Wolds. Nothing negative to say about our experiences here at all.

Comfort and cleanliness in Lincolnshire.

We have been to many self-catering properties over the past fifty years, this was one of the very best. The quality of the furnishings and fittings is very good, and parking is easy We found we need not have brought any provisions with us, tea, coffee, butter etc were fresh and lasted us the full fortnight. A full change of linen at the end of the first week was a pleasant surprise and the vases of roses a lovely touch! The only note of caution is that the property is not suitable for those with limited mobility as the stairs are steep.

Lovely spacious cottage for 2

This is one of the best holiday homes we've stayed in - spacious, comfortable, and plush (good bed linen and towels, including proper bath sheets etc); well resourced and stocked (sharp knives, cupboard space, washing machine etc). The furnishings and decor (plump sofas; dresser with china) really gave a homely feeling. Lots to do in the area too. We're definitely going back!

A little Slice of heaven in a great location!

A truly beautiful home from home, perfect for 2 people. We arrived after dark and the fire, heating and some lighting had been put on for our arrival, we also found a welcome pack of some basic essentials which was a lovely touch. John popped over to greet us (the house is in the grounds of his stunning home) to ensure we were happy and settling in, he was also able to advise on local places of interest and places to eat. We tried the Halfway House pub and Grill which was just a short walk and had a good steak dinner. Apart from Fish and chips at the coast, we ate at the house the rest of the time as we were only there 2 nights and just wanted to realx. We could not fault the property at all, it is even better than the pictures...very well equipped with luxurious furnishings, comfy bed and a huge bathroom with lovely big fluffy towels. We wish we could have stayed longer but would definitely like to return.

About the host

Hosted by John Butterworth

I first discovered this part of Lincolnshire in 2015 and moved here in 2016. I can honestly say I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. This area has so many wonderful places to explore and unspoilt by tourism. It has excellent quality food and some interesting local specialities. You will find many things to do and enjoy.

Why they chose this property

This is a building with a 200-year history. Firstly, as a leather workshop, more recently as a home and since 2017, a holiday cottage.

What makes this property unique

Pubs, restaurants, and shops all within walking distance. Well connected to public transport. Close to the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds and unspoilt sandy beaches. This is a largely undiscovered part of England with many interesting places to visit and explore. The cottage has all the facilities and comforts you need for a short break or a longer stay up to 4 weeks.
