The cottage is a perfect size for 1-2 visitors and has all the features you need for a relaxing, self-contained stay. The homemade Lincolnshire plum loaf as part of the welcome package was delicious and very thoughtful. John and Natasha are lovely hosts and have created a delightful place to stay. Thank you!

John met us at the gate on our arrival, the property was absolutely spotless . The added touches were absolutely amazing. Not a sound to be heard . A beautiful garden , orchard and an added bonus of a gorgeous little church. We can’t praise our trip enough everyone we could have hoped for and more. Our little dog Albie was able to wander around outside and was welcomed on our arrival. The kitchen had everything you could wish for including a washer, dryer and dishwasher. Even a BBQ outside the door with table , chairs and deckchairs. 100% in every way possible. Highly recommend a stay here . We will definitely be back again for another lovely stay. Ideally situated for visiting Lincoln and the surrounding areas.5* rating at least for the hosts and their property

Hen Cottage is charming and Natasha & John are wonderful hosts. The setting is idyllic, you are surrounded by beautiful countryside yet close to Lincoln and all its history. We enjoyed watching the chickens out the kitchen window and their delicious eggs for breakfast, walking around bluebell wood, the orchard and visiting the small church. Natasha’s homemade plum loaf was so thoughtful as was the rest of the welcome package. My husband particularly enjoyed the cold beer, sitting on the patio, watching the sun go down. We had a lovely time and hope to return one day as our stay went far too quick.

Comfortable and well-equipped!

A relaxing, well-equipped, cute ‘hideaway’. Hosts Natasha and John (who live in the adjoining farmhouse) could not have been more kind and welcoming although they were in no way intrusive. Comfortable bed! And we loved the big wardrobe which we were able to stow all our cases and bags in, out of sight and out of the way. A possible downside for some is that internet access at this location is (or certainly was when we visited) slow and intermittent — obviously not the fault of the hosts, but can be a little frustrating!

Dear Anne We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Hen Cottage. As we are in the countryside the internet speed can be an issue but a reset often helps so we encourage our guests to tell us if there are any problems so we can fix them. We hope to see you again at Hen Cottage. Kind Regards, John and Natasha

Brilliant property, lovely hosts

We stayed here for 4 nights - very much on a whim. Fancied a trip up to Lincoln and this cottage seemed ideal. It was more than ideal. Really nice cottage - in immaculate order. Really well equipped, with everything looking new. Well furnished, and a really comfortable bed. John and Natasha (our hosts) were very friendly. They had left a basket of goodies - which was really welcome - including a lovely plum loaf and half a dozen of the best eggs I have ever had from the many chickens that roam the gardens. The property is well located - about 20 mins drive East of Lincoln. There are a lot of nearby footpaths too. We loved our stay and would very much like to stay here again. A wonderful place to stay.

Relaxing stay in country Lincolnshire

If you want a quiet stay 15 minutes from Lincoln, Hen Cottage is perfect. Hosts Natasha and John are amazing. Their extra touches in a large cottage including their complimentary welcome basket with homegrown eggs, Lincolnshire fruit cake, teas and coffee and access to their fruit orchards, muchly appreciated. A very special place to relax and spend a few days.
