  • "We booked The Granary barn conversion in October because it was all on one level and dog friendly for our pooch."

    The property is lovely - spacious, comfortable and clean. It was tastefully kitted out, with ceramic floors throughout, ample crockery and kitchen equipment, and quality linens. Handy parking next to front door. It is a quiet rural area with everything you might need for a very restful holiday. We enjoyed visiting historic Lincoln Cathedral, shopping in Newark and Retford and magical Sherwood Forest. Sue was a delightful and welcoming hostess. Highly recommended.

  • "Owners very helpful and welcoming."

    The cottage was comfort and clean. Good amount of kitchen equipment, lovely views from the property and quiet country lanes to go for a walk. The cottage was lovely and warm, as when we stayed the weather was very frosty and cold. Visited Lincoln Cathedral which was lovely but very cold inside.

  • "We had a lovely time."

    Great spot for a couple, good location for exploring a new area for us. One minor piece of feedback is that in the short summer nights the bedroom got really bright in the early morning which made sleep hard. Blinds or curtains that were better at blocking the light would be good.

    The cottage was very tidy and clean, unfortunately the owner may need get up to speed with modern times the TV was very small, was not smart, if they're not going to supply Netflix or something similar at least a smart TV Also its probably the 1st time I've been charged to use a washing machine.

    Thank you for your feedback. Since your stay the owner has replaced the TV with a larger smart TV. Kind regards. Property Owner

  • "Susan and Sarah were extremely helpful and provided us with everything we needed."

    The location is well placed to enable us to explore the Lincolnshire countryside. As members of the National Trust we had lots of places to visit. Newark was a lovely town to visit and even the weather didn't dampen our spirits. One thing visitors need to do which is to find out the costs of entry to some attractions as some can be expensive for 2 adults like Lincoln Castle. Not good value for money at £13.50 pp. plus parking.

The property

This delightful cottage was originally the grain store for this working livestock and arable farm, but has now been lovingly transformed into a cosy rural retreat, nestled on the edge of the village of Askham.

This lovely ground floor apartment has underfloor heating throughout, making it warm and cosy no matter what time of year you visit.

The open plan living area has every comfort on hand with a kitchen, dining area and a sitting area, from which you can enjoy a timeless view of the orchard.

The Granary is surrounded by pleasant country lanes, perfect for a relaxing walk or bike ride in these beautiful surroundings.

The village inn serves locally produced food and real ales, which is just the ticket for ending a perfect day.

This fantastic apartment is perfectly placed for exploring every taste from countryside to city.

Historic Lincoln offers a vibrant and contemporary day out with plenty of things to keep everyone busy.

There is plenty of history on offer with its medieval cathedral and a copy of the Magna Carta housed at the castle.

Why not walk the castle walls and take in the views across the city?

The National Nature Reserve of Sherwood Forest is a short drive away and was once part of a royal hunting forest.

The area now covers 450 acres with plenty of walking and cycling routes, and includes some ancient trees, some of which are over 500 years old.

The Granary offers a perfect retreat for that special break, whatever time of year.
