A lovely stay in a very tranquil setting would love to return in the Summer and get out and about more as the heavy snow hindered us this time. Highly recommended.

Super relaxing week escaping from grandparent duties. 4 days of local walks - local guides. Used car twice. Once to Gilbrator point and Skegness. Another day to Louth Hubbards Hill. Visited Gunby Hall on the way here. Haddock and chips at Half Moon Alford was good. Now Lincoln for 2 days.

Thank you so much Barbara and Bill for a lovely peaceful stay. The milk and scones were very thoughful and the cottage lovely and cosy :-)  We enjoyed some great long walks Binbrook, Louth, Hubbards Hills (fab place in hot weather with a dog) and Tealby.  Tealby village shop has a large range of the wal leaflets if you need any and the Kings Head Pub is amazing.  We have been blessed with fabulous weather and the local pub at Aby is good, good home cooked food and very reasonable. Thanks again - hope to see you again...

A very enjoyable stay in this lovely cottage. Easy to visit all the lovely places around and the cottage is well furnished and equipped with everything we needed.  We heard the barn oil and saw badgers when out for our evening walk. Barbara and Bill thanks for all helpful information on the local area and for being such good hosts.  Best wishes. The plum bread on arrival was delicious!

Perfect setting for exploring. Cottage location and facilities spot on. Recommended: early morning walks in Nature Reserve Woods, Moggs Eye Beach for sand, Lincoln (a definite to do), Gunby Hall (NT).  Good meals at Railway Tavern (Aby), Kings Head (Tealby), Kings Head (Theddlethorpe), Black Horse (Donington on Bain).  Horse riding at Scambelesby (Brook Houst Farm - a BHS Centre). Plant lovers must visit Cottage Garden Plant Nursey outside Alford.  If you go to Louth, take a river stroll at Hubbards Hill. Most of the above dog friendly. Enjoy!!

Another relaxing break at Owl Cottage. Enjoyed an 8 mile run from Alford taking in Well and Ulceby, Swathes of white wild garlic in the woods and bluebells. Lovely walk incorparating Ailby Plantation, where an exotic Reeves pheasant was keeping guard of the orchids.  Grimsby fish and chips at South Ormsby was excellent. Do take cash though as no cards accepted. Great to come back for a relaxing time whilst enjoying the Spring flowers.

Cottage is excellent. Thankyou. We have had a lovely short break. The weather has been mostly fine. We have had some good walks at the coast since the local fields looked rather muddy. Can recommend Gilbraltar Point, Saltfleet and Donna Nook. The latter great if you like fast jets practising attacks!

We have had a lovely holiday staying at Owl Cottage. Barbara & Bill are so welcoming. We loved the welcoming chocolate cake and Lincolnshire Plum Bread. Lincolnshire has now become one of our favourite holiday destinations. It has everything we want - walks on the doorstep through the Linolnshire Wolds and breathtaking unspoilt beaches close by. Our favourite places were Gilbralter Point and Anderby Creek. The White Hart at Telford does an excellent roast and good real ale, together with a cosy open fire after a walk in the Wolds. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Everyone was a winner on our 1 week break: beach, castles, biking, beer etc what not to like about Lincolnshire and its people.  It was like going back in time to the 70’s before pound shops, Tesco plc, globalisation, Euroland and all that jazz, alas back to smelly old London and M25...we will be back to get our fix!

We loved the cottage & the peace & quiet. Thanks to both Bill & Barbara. Hope to return soon, in the meantime recommend Countryman Inn at Ingoldmels and pub at Aby highly. Also GunbyHall for its lovely gardens.

We found the cottage comfortable and very clean - lovely kitchen and bathroom! Well placed for walking/visits inland (Adults enjoyed Coningsby) and for beaches (kids loved seaside!) Spacious grounds and good hosts.

It was good to see where my family lived, but more than that a very enjoyable stay in a great cottage.  We walked to Alford, climbed the tower at Louth and had a very good dinner at the Anchor Inn in Alford. We joined in the quiz and bingo!
