Charming Cottage in rural village close to Lincoln
We had a lovely stay at Blossom Hill. It was perfect! Shaun and Joy are very friendly and gave us loads of good recommendations for walks in the area! It was so peaceful being in the English countryside away from the hustle and bustle of a city. Thank you again!

2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom cottage next to Viking Way
Spacious and comfortable cottage made for a great break with excellent walking from the doorstep and in a good position for touring in the area.

Stayed for a few days at Jody's place. Ideal location for my golf trip. Enough space for 2, very clean, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and galley. A good spot for Horncastle centre, plenty on offer, shops, pubs, restaurants. All round a great location.

Dunster Lodge Cottage
Lovely homely cottage a short drive from Lincoln. Peter the host was very responsive and communicated well with us throughout. We were allowed access 2 hours earlier than the allotted time which was great. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay including a welcome pack of breakfast items such as eggs, bacon, sausages, milk, bread butter and Peter’s own home made honey. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, particularly the wood burning stove and the outdoor area where we could watch the rabbits and pheasants every day. I would recommend this delightful cottage to anyone coming to beautiful Lincoln. There is so much to see and do!!

We have stayed here before and it is in a great location. easily walkable to all local amenities and the house itself is superb. Exactly as described in the advert. Very communicative host and very clear instructions for when we arrived. An excellent few days away, many thanks .

Hill View Lodge Luxury Log Cabin
Janet's cabin is beautiful and very clean. I prepared all meals from scratch and all utensils that I needed were there. As a solo traveller I felt safe with good locks on all doors, the driveway gate being closed at night and hosts being next door if required. This is an ideal hideaway with amazing views but a car ride away from lovely walks including the beach. Jane was a lovely, kind host.

Peaceful 3 Bedroomed Cottage with Hot tub
We had the best time!! The house was absolutely stunning and fully equipped for all we needed. Perfect for a mums getaway!! We will definitely be booking again 🤩🤩 Sam was super wonderful on responding to questions all along and was a super host! Thank you so much, was exactly what we all needed xx

Church Farm Barn South Hykeham Lincoln
Karen and Jim were lovely hosts for a beautiful property that completely met our needs. This was our second time staying here and we will be back again. Both the property and the hosts made it comfortable and welcoming. We look forward to the homemade lemon cake!

Garden cottage ,Lodge farm.
We had a great two night stay at Julie's place, grandma, daughter and three grandchildren aged 4, 7 and 9, all loved it especially so the children being close to the goats and seeing kitten and dogs. Easy to find and great welcome and such friendly people. We had everything we needed and more, appreciated the cereals, fruit and biscuits. Such comfy beds too and lots of hot water. Great location to visist the brilliant White Post Farm. Grandchildren didn't want to leave. Thank you Julie and sorry couldn't remember your partners name.. brilliant hosts. Judy.

Rural Retreat set in a conservation area.
We would have loved to stay longer in this elegant, historic but fully modernized rural retreat. By some quirk of Airbnb booking we got it for one night only but it was like coming home. The garden alone made our short stay enchanting. It could not have been better.

Unique static boat on the Trent
We had a lovely time staying on the boat. Sharon was really helpful from start to finish. Everything was set up for our stay and we had a great time. This trip was myself, my brother, and my Dad, so two of us used the bedrooms and one of us slept on the sofa bed in the living room. There were ample blankets, cushions, and pillows for all three beds. The amount of space on the boat was great for us. I think three single people was the right amount for the boat, or four people if they were both couples. We entertained ourselves with food and drink on the picnic bench above the deck, and watching TV below deck. There was a strong WiFi signal and the streaming services on TV worked fine. Being on the Trent meant it was easy to go for a walk. We must have covered 8 miles on Saturday, along the River and into a couple of villages. All in all, we had a great time and would love to stay again on the future.

Madison's Barn - rustic and peaceful!
Lovely place and Judith was a great host, would book again if back in the area and would recommend to anyone

Quiet studio near city centre. Check in 2pm!
The stay was beautiful and perfect. It was clean and cozy. With access to a private garden and a quiet area, it was perfect for quiet evenings. The city centre is close by - 10-16 minute walk. Christina, the host, was friendly and responsive! Would definitely book again!

Stylish & spacious artist's home & garden
We had a wonderful short stay in Sue’s house. The photos don’t do this unique home justice. We would love to come back and enjoy some more down time here, especially in the beautifully peaceful garden. Thank for letting us stay in your beautiful home.

Valentine Cottage Lovely Country House. Nr Lincoln
Fabulous cottage. Comfortable, relaxing and very well appointed. The kitchen had absolutely everything you could need

Elms House Cottage
Loved it, cosy, superbly kitted out. A little bit quirky but it all fitted together very well, is very comfortable and was an ideal vase for us to visit with friends who had a full house. Our invitation will be extended again and would certainly try to book a return visit. Thank you Martin.

Well appointed self-contained one bedroom annexe
A fantastic stay! Steve was incredibly responsive and helpful - I didn't get to meet him in person due to my poor timing, but through Airbnb messaging, he ensured everything went smoothly, and his lovely wife kindly pointed me in the right direction when I arrived. The place was cozy, private, and pleasant, just like in the listing photos, which was very welcome during a business trip for a nearby conference. The strong WiFi connection was a lifesaver in a Vodafone signal deadspot, which meant I could easily finish my work upon arrival. Highly recommend!

The Curate's Quarters at the Old Vicarage
Chose this place slightly randomly but am so pleased we did! Perfect location minutes from the castle and cathedral and lots of lovely places to eat with an amazing view. Had everything we needed and the bed in particular was exceptional- big, comfortable with lovely bed linen. Often that’s the bit that can let a place down but not in this property. Lincoln is a brilliant place for a weekend visit- so much to see and do. And our sons jumped on a train from London and joined us for the day too as an added bonus! We took the free walking tour which set us up well but I hadn’t imagined there’d be so many lovely shops and art galleries too. Plus live music and theatre and cinema and of course the beautiful music at the cathedral (I went to choral evensong) Thank you Valerie- will be recommending to everyone!

Stylish city centre 1 bed apartment
Super easy parking and clear and easy access into the flat which was immaculately clean and ready to enjoy. All the basics were there and the Sainsburys Local almost opposite was ideal to top up with. Had lunch at the Horse & Groom which is at the end of the road and had a great meal. Thanks Emma, you have done a great job!

Detached home in Lincoln's Cathedral Quarter
We were two couples staying here. The two main bedrooms were large and well furnished. The location in Lincoln could not be better in a quiet cul de sac and no more than six minute walk to the cathedral, castle and numerous cafes, pubs and restaurants. The kitchen eas well equiped with loads of surface to prepare meals. The garden was also lovely although the outdoor furniture could do with an upgrade. A really lovely property which I thoroughly recommend for a stay.

Stunning townhouse- uphill Lincoln/ Pass The Keys
Our stay at Cuthberts Rest, was brilliant. The location was excellent making restaurants and the shopping centre all within walking distance. Lots of things to do within driving distance. The accommodation was of an excellent standard, the beds were comfortable, the bed and household linens clean. Everything you could need was in the accommodation. We would recommend this property wholeheartedly.

3 bedrooms Spacious townhouse close to cathedral
Philip's place was just what we needed for a short visit to beautiful Lincoln. Easy to find, clean and immediately we felt at home. Lincoln city centre 5 minutes walk away, with loads to do. Would thoroughly recommend!

Filly Green Cottage
Filly Green Cottage is an excellent home in a lovely village. It is in a central location with easy access to pubs and shops. The cottage was lovely and clean with everything you need for your stay. Bed was very comfortable and plenty of space for clothes etc. Bathroom was clean and spacious with bath and shower combined. Definitely worth another visit if we are in the area again.

Cathedral Quarter House With Off Street Parking.
Amazing accommodation we felt at home immediately ~ spotlessly clean and everything we needed to enjoy our break 😁 Communication was excellent before and during the stay. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous place with us!
