"Another fabulous stay at the Nook ."
Owners on hand if any problems which we didn't have .The accommodation has a very comfortable bed and spotless clean . Lovely peaceful area and our dogs loved the secure garden. Will be returning again

"Wonderful lodge, warm and cosy, bigger than expected."
Very clean and everything good quality and everything you could need. Would deffo recommend. The TV guide didn't work so bought a TV book to see what was on when. The kitchen is small but adequate, managed to cook in it as no take aways local. Tilly our 12 year old dog loved it but had a problem walking on the shingle on the drive, but we found a way to reduce the amount of time she had to walk on it. The owners were very helpful and friendly, and left us fresh eggs, fruit loaf , orange juice and milk for when we arrived, lovely thankyou.

"We loved our stay in The Nook!"
So peaceful and quiet, and yet only a short distance to the seaside resorts and little towns. Everything you could need was provided, and the lovely Plum loaf and milk etc that were left for us were much appreciated. If you want to relax and unwind this is the perfect place. Thanks for a lovely holiday! Jayne, Andy and Winnie.

"Lovely property in a very quiet area."
Nice decking outside the doors from living rom to enjoy the peace and quiet. Large comfortable bed in huge bedroom. Kitchen quite small but has everything you need. Dog enjoyed the fenced garden as well.

"The Nook was just what we needed a quite comfortable cottage well equipped and super clean ,the lawned garden and adjacent field were ideal for our puppy to burn off his boundless energy."
The owners were very welcoming but not intrusive. Will definitely recommend to friends we will be booking The Nook again. Thankyou for a lovely stay.

"Just perfect!"
From the warm welcome we received when we arrived to the spotlessly clean and beautifully kept Nock! It’s just perfect. It’s like stepping back in time, the village and surrounding areas are beautiful. The Nook has everything you could need for your stay and I’m sure if something was missing they would get it for you! It was perfect for our two dogs too, large fully fenced garden which they loved. Thank you for a wonderful week.

"Beautiful property that is very private with a large secure garden and great views."
Lovely helpful owners but not intrusive. Thank you for a lovely stay.

"Just returned home after such a wonderful holiday at The Nook Well what can I say, this was absolutely a beautiful cottage, in a gorgeous idyllic setting."
We was truly spoilt, such a comfortable bed, huge bedroom & living room, the property was absolutly spotless. Nikki & Ashley were lovely, giving us ideas & places to visit, lovely touches when we arrived, milk, orange, eggs, plum loaf, which I have bought 3 of to bring home. A lovely relaxing holiday, with stunning views, wildlife, friendliness. There was a large fenced off area for dogs, to run around, just perfect in every way. ♥️

"The Nook was ideal for two adults and a dog."
Nicely presented in pastel shades with a seaside theme, it was a great base for visiting nearby Mablethorpe and all the other dog-friendly beaches from Cleethorpes (Fitties) down to Chapel St Leonards. The dog loved the enclosed garden, with the supplied balls, and meeting the neighbouring sheep.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely cabin and we were made to feel welcome with the lovely little gifts and touches added that were unexpected."
Our 2 dogs loved the paddock to play in. Our hosts were friendly and were informative about the area. we will not hesitate to return in the future and recommend the Nook to our Canine friends. Thank you for a lovely staycation.

"In spite of some poor weather, we had a good week at the Nook with our dog Jasper."
It is a quiet, peaceful location. Owners are friendly and on-hand if you need anything. The property is well looked after and clean. The kitchen is tiny but adequate and more than made up for by a spacious bedroom and a comfy lounge cum dining room.
-
"We had a really nice stay at the Nook."
Very clean and well presented. Nice secure garden for our two dogs with a hose to wash their feet round the corner and the young lambs for company in the field next door. Owners are friendly and close by if needed but not invasive. Plenty of places to visit with the dogs within a 30 minute drive or less. Probably the nicest dog friendly place we've stayed. Will definitely return when the weather's warmer.
-
"Lovely little property, totally private, lovely big garden with outdtanding views, lots of wildlife, resident kestral, a huge red kite, partridge, deer ect, which is well fenced for small or large dogs (the only thing I would add is some pea gravel around the edge of the grass to avoid the dogs getting muddy feet and the side gate to the garden repaired so it can open and then wash muddy paws with the outside tap) the bedroom is huge, very comfortable bed, the whole property was spotless when we arrived and we felt spoilt."
Thankyou for the Plum loaf it was delish.
-
"Our 2nd visit here, Love this place it really feels like home and so quiet, if you want peace and relaxation walking or cycling, and a couple of good pubs fairly nearby then this is ideal."
Thank you.

"When I booked this cottage about a year ago it was advertised as having a woodburner, but it doesn't."
Nevertheless this is an excellent cottage, 9 out of 10. On the eastern edge of the Wolds, every corner of the Wolds is within less than an hours drive. I loved the far views where ever I was. Plenty of oppurtunities for walking from easy to more demanding. Booklet and brochures were very helpful. Dunes at Theddlethorpe were very disapointing (because in Holland I live close to dunes almost 200 feet high). No light above diner table, so I moved the table in front of the window, not just for the light, but also to enjoy the open space and great views from this cottage. Mezzanine was nice for listening music on my headphone, reading and with another great view. Kitchen is small. I realy enjoyed my two weeks here. Highly recommended!!!
Many thanks for your feedback , it was greatly appreciated . Unfortunately the property hasn't had a log burner for the last four years and isn't advertised as having such on Sykes Cottages , so we are a little disappointed that you were under the illusion of there being one. Overall , we are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay, enjoyed the lovely views and that you would highly recommend . We hope perhaps that you would visit us again in the near future. Kind Regards Property Owner Property Owner

"Lovely warm cosy property, great views , instant hot water, great shower, comfy bed."
What more could you want.

"We have just returned from a wonderful week's stay at The Nook."
The owners, Nikki and Ashley were very friendly and welcoming, and have done an excellent job in fitting out the property. It is very spacious, comfortable, wonderfully clean, and is well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The attention given by Nikki to the decor, is fantastic. Our dog Molly thoroughly enjoyed the large securely fenced of grass area adjacent to the decking area. We had peacocks visiting every morning, and even had them taping on the patio doors. Thank you for the plum bead and lemonade it was most appreciated. Nikki we did find the plum bread in the local store you suggested. We will definitely be recommending The Nook to our friends.
-
"The Nook is an amazing place to stay, peaceful, quiet, rural and sheep and chickens as your neighbours."
Nikki and Ashley the owners were very welcoming on our arrival and made us feel at home. The property hugs you as you enter and blew our minds from the first step into it. As Ashley put it 'Not bad for a garden shed'. This property is a credit to both of them and we will definitely be back again. Lincolnshire has many places and things to do and well worth the visit and this property is situated just a stones throw from all the lovely amenities, pubs, restaurants and not forgetting the coastal resorts as well. Rating 10 out of 10. Also thanks to them for the welcome cake and lemonade on arrival.

"Comfortable well equipped property in a lovely setting."
Friendly unobtrusive owners. Property exudes quality. Large private garden area is completely dog proof.
-
"Had a super week here, the cabin is spacious and airy, and decorated in a lovely blue and white seaside theme."
The garden is very spacious with lawn and gravel, and completely sealed in for you average dog, but very small breeds and jumpers could possibly escape. French doors open out on to a lovely decked area with comfortable seating. The kitchen if a little small for some is well layed out and well equipped. The bathroom has the same low ceiling as the kitchen but still well layed out. We found it very hard to find any faults with this property but sorry to say we did, others may not agree these being faults, but what we found a little frustrating was the water works, when the toilet was flushed the system would most times continue to make noises for quite a while, which isn't required through the night, and the other was there is no drapery on the patio doors, so unable to block out the night, especially when it was raining. Otherwise this is a superb little cottage for couples with or without a dog. About a twenty minute drive out to some absolutely beautiful beaches most dog friendly, well worth a visit. Will definitely visit here again when next visiting Lincolnshire.

"What a little gem The Nook is."
It is very tastefully furnished, very clean and tidy and The Nook had everything that WE needed. Plenty of enclosed space outside for the dog to wander around in. Even though its situated very close to the main house- they never intruded. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. Milk, eggs, Sicilian lemonade and some plum bread (which was very very nice) I now wish I'd bought some home with us. We would ofcourse like to book the property again.
-
"Absolutely fabulous property."
Everything we thought it was going to be and more. Ashley and Nicky perfect hosts. Always there but not intrusive. The Nook was spotlessly clean when we arrived and we had been left eggs, milk, Lincolnshire Plum Bread and a bottle of wine. The Plum Bread was delicious and we purchased four more loaves from the local Co-op to take home! The location was ideal and the village of Authorpe was delightful. We took our five year old cockapoo, Barney, with us and he was captivated by the chickens and sheep but could not understand why the chickens would not play ball with him as they were behind secure fencing. The whole garden area was fully secure so we had no problems with him being outside in the garden while was sat on the raised decking on lovely garden furniture. We loved the property so much we have booked to go back this year for a week in October See you in October Nicky and Ashley Chris, Sue and Barney

"We had the best stay at The Nook."
Our hosts were amazing & the little welcome gifts just made our stay.
-
"We used this cabin as a base for a few days whilst exploring the East coast/Skegness/Mablethorpe area."
We found it to be clean and tidy with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It is dog friendly and we’re sure our small dog enjoyed it as much as us. It has a nice sized garden with a dog proof fence where our pooch made friends with the chickens and sheep. The owners are very friendly and include some lovely touches with some supplies included as a well appreciated welcome. The East coast in that area includes some beautiful beaches surprisingly unpopulated so close to the more popular resorts. Would thoroughly recommend.
-
"A lovely property in a lovely peaceful setting."
Our 2 dogs especially loved the garden to run around in and made friends with the resident chickens and sheep. We would highly recommend this property and will be back next year
-
"A lovely cottage in a rural setting."
-
"Just had the most relaxing and peaceful week away courtesy of Ashley and Nikki at The Nook."
This was our second stay and definitely did not disappoint. The sheep, lambs and chickens were an absolute bonus waking up to them every morning was the best. Lovely and clean throughout small issue with shower which turned out to be user error (lol) Ashley was on hand within minutes to resolve this could wish for more helpful hosts. Already booked again for August cannot wait Thankyou for another fantastic stay!
-
"We were not aware the cottage was so close to the main house, the rule regarding the dogs should have been explained before we came as "not allowed in bedrooms/furniture" would have been mice to know as our dogs are allowed everywhere in our house and we had to keep "telling them off" for thing they are ordinary allowed to do."
The orange car made a lot of noise- which may not bother some but for those looking for a quiet peaceful time away it was annoying. the shower pressure and temperature are terrible. However having said all of that, the cottage itself is beautifully decorated, the bed is very comfortable and the outdoor "garden" area is lovely and big for the dogs to run. I think if someone was looking to get away and didn't have dogs then it would be lovely but the shower should be looked at.
We were sorry to hear that you were not aware of the property being so close to the main house but some of the pictures on the website do illustrate this.We like to think that we are close enough to help out if a problem arises but of no way intrusive as stated in our previous reviews With regards to dogs being kept off the furniture and out of the bedroom, this is just to reiterate the general rule for all of Sykes Cottages and is provided to yourselves upon booking . Unfortunately we are at a loss with regards to the orange car as we ourselves do not own one or have one visit. We do note in our guest information pack which we provide in The Nook that if any problems should arise during your stay that we are notified as soon as possible, this is why we are onsite. The unfortunate circumstance you had with the shower could have been resolved very quickly as we found that the settings had been altered. Thank you once again for your feedback. Property Owner

"Absolutely beautiful property, it was spotless from the minute we walked in, all facilities we needed were included and not too far away from places to visit."
A very enjoyable 3 day stay away.
-
"Views lovely."
Good location for a quiet holiday. Front door needs maintenance. Kitchen very basic - equipment sparse
-
"An excellent retreat, quiet and peaceful."
Owners we’re very helpful with minor problems. When a major problem (a burst water main affecting a large area) occurred, they could not have been more helpful, giving us fresh bottled water and providing buckets for flushing waste from toilet. We think the 5 star rating was fully deserved. Thank you.
-
"The Nook was a perfect getaway for a quiet few days away."
The house was perfect, tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend.
-
"First impressions smells lovely."
Clean,modern, bright, has got everything you need. Love the view, wild birds and every one so friendly.
-
"The Nook was all we could ask for quiet looks out over fields with buzzards and sparrow hawks, the inside was clean and spacious with heating was very warm."
Sat in the lounge you look out over the lawn with the sun there in the evening. For the dog the lawn has fencing all around to stop any means of escape unless they can jump 5ft, to the right of the lawn are the chickens who will run to see you, to the left is a big field with “ Stanley “ the ram who is very friendly and always want a scratch. There is a sheltered deck with tables and chairs and around the side is gravelled to keep your feet clean either going to the bin or resting on the wood bench. From the pictures we took people have asked where this is as it looks so idilic, a must is the 5 minute drive to the local mill for coffee outside with the ducks. Would I go again yes with pleasure.

"What a lovely place to stay"

"Thank you for a lovely week, we found The Nook Clean, Quiet & Convenient for our East coast exploring."
Great countryside & views & our dog loved his enclosure. Thank you for our welcome pack too. David & Deb & Jasper
-
"What an absolutely gorgeous little hideaway!"
! The owners are lovely and the little touches are so thoughtful, we loved the fresh eggs
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Nook, this was our second visit and probably won't be the last."
The owners are lovely people, very helpful and friendly. We spent the evenings watching a variety of wildlife in the fields adjacent to the property, lovely to see the baby rabbits! Some fantastic sand dune backed beaches and even though the weather was really hot, we were often the only ones there. Thoroughly recommend Authorpe.
-
"A really quiet location set just off of the Lincolnshire Wolds."
Great views from the terraced area. The garden area was off great benefit to us, as it enabled us to allow our dog freedom to roam in an enclosed space. Cottage itself was excellent with plenty of room in the living and bedroom areas. A great location for walking in the area with plenty of footpaths direct from the door. Thoroughly recommended.
-
"Cannot fault this place."
..lovely little cottage...Great location and the owners were amazing...definitely will go again
-
"We had a lovely stay here, so peaceful."
Owners were very nice and nothing was to much trouble. The nook was very clean and comfortable, our dogs had a lovely time out in the enclosed garden which meant we could sit on the decking, enjoying a drink and the peaceful surroundings. When arriving we were treated to a plum loaf and fresh eggs which were lovely from the owners, thank you so much. Would highly recommend the nook for a relaxing getaway. We would like to also take this opportunity in wishing the very best to the happy couple who are getting married this weekend. Congratulations to you both Kind regards Adam & Bev Meek
-
"This was a beautiful cottage well decorated and thought out ."
The decking on the back meant we could enjoy the country side with a glass of wine once we got in for the night . Bed was comfortable and really couldn’t fault it . Would definitely stay again and recommend this to anyone . Peaceful ; comfortable ; relaxing .. week flew past
-
"A warm welcome and friendly faces from owners,their pets and sheep."
An unexpected power failure was not a problem as candles were promptly provided by our hosts. A peaceful retreat with every thing we needed provided. Comfortable seating and bed. Would recommend.
-
"The Nook was everything we'd hoped it would be, cosy, comfortable and exceptionally clean set in idyllic surroundings."
The ewes with their lambs in the enclosure next to our garden was just beautiful, as are the views across the fields. Ashley and Nikki go the extra mile to make sure everything you need is on hand, the local information was extremely helpful and a lovely welcoming gesture in the fridge was very much appreciated. We would definitely come back.
-
"We really enjoyed our short break at the Nook."
We were made very welcome and had everything we needed. A lovely little gem in Lincolnshire, really relaxing watching the lambs leap in the fields surrounding the property.
-
"Clean spacious, absolutely lovely place, would go again"
-
"Very nice property lovely and clean owners very helpful and freindly enjoyed our stay very much many thanks"
-
"We had such a wonderful stay at ‘The Nook’- everything was clean and tidy on arrival and the owners were kind and welcoming."
We really love the property and the area it is in and are so grateful to both Nikki and Ashley for making the property so comfortable and homely- it truly made our weekend stay so perfect. The area is lovely and in a great location for visitors. Having the sheep for neighbours was a wonderful thing to see every morning and I would highly recommend ‘The Nook’ to anyone looking for a quaint little break.
-
"Property was exactly as listed, very cosy, nice and secluded too."
Owner was very helpful and made sure i knew where all the relevant things were. Lot's of info provided about the property and local area which was also great to have.
-
"Thank you so much it was such a lovely holiday and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves."
The cottage was perfect with so many thoughtful gestures. :-)
-
"A wonderful stay, really nice place and perfectly clean."
-
"A beautifully finished cottage in the Lincolnshire wolds ,spotlessly clean with super facilities, only thing I would change, is to put a curtain up at the rear doors for coziness and get rid of the stone slab, which I guess was where the logburner stood."
-
"Excellent place to stay peaceful comfortable clean owners are lovely it’s our ..."

"This was our 2nd visit for our wedding anniversary and as the first visit it was perfect!"
The cleanliness is second to non, literally looks and feels brand new throughout! The surroundings are beautiful and a great size enclosed garden for the dogs! Bed and sofa are extremely comfortable and provided a great relaxing stay! Would highly recommend! The hosts as before were extremely accommodating and leave you in peace for you stay but always on hand for anything you need. Thankyou again for another fantastic peaceful stay, and for the lovely added extras on our arrival!
-
"The location was very relaxing and peaceful."
The property was very clean provided everything you needed I would recommend the Nook to family and friends. Thank you for a lovely stay .
-
"This is our second visit to The Nook, we obviously liked it the first time."
The cottage has improved since with the installation of patio doors to the decking, ideal to watch the sunset with a sundowner! Immaculately kept, it is a perfect peaceful place for a couple with or without dogs. Hosts Nicki & Ashley most helpful and friendly, there if needed. Would thoroughly recommend it.
-
"The Nook was a very clean place to stay, in fact all the facilities looked new."
It was very well decorated in a blue and white seaside theme. Views from the property were wide and it was very nice to sit outside on the patio and relax with a glass of wine in the evening. A very quiet location to relax. Also the plum loaf and white wine left for us by the owners went down very well. The coast and wolds were close by and being walkers, this was a great advantage. Would thoroughly recommend to anybody who wants a week in Lincolnshire.
-
"The accommodation is spacious and just perfect for couples."
It has everything you need with lovely rural views too. Not far from the coast and within easy reach of everything Lincolnshire has to offer for a great short or long break.
-
"Peaceful relaxing location hosts were there if needed but then anonymous ."
A great week.
-
"The Nook had everything we needed for a enjoyable holiday, it was very clean, nice and quiet location."
Nikki and Ashley were very friendly and on hand if needed, it was a nice touch to find eggs, fruit cake and wine when we arrived. We will like to go back sometime.
-
"The Nook was lovely as were the hosts."
The enclosed garden area was great for our dog as we could let her be outside and know that she was safe and the decked area was lovely for sitting out in the evening with our G+T weather permitting. We would have no hesitation in recommending The Nook to family and friends.
-
"Was a lovely peaceful holiday, Ashley and Nikki were very accommodating and made us feel very welcome and comfortable and were on hand if we needed them and also let us be too."
Very nice little touches throughout and we were most appreciative of the lovely plum bread, wine and fresh eggs from the beautiful hens in the adjacent field. The sheep in the other fields next to us were fascinating to watch, all adds to the lovely peaceful experience. So many beaches (both lively ones and really quiet ones - Saltfleet, Sandilands, Anderby Creek) nearby that we visited each day. Quite a few pubs around too in immediate area - we would love to stay here again as was a very relaxing stay that we most enjoyed. thanks very much!
-
"The Nook cottage is highly recommended."
It is spacious and very comfortable. Decor is very good and to a high quality. Fenced off lawn is ideal for dogs and safe. Bottle of wine, eggs and cake provided as welcome pack. Great holiday. Location is very quiet and is an ideal place to relax.
-
"Mr & mrs Barker were lovely hosts,even went out of their way to provide us with extra water when the pressure dropped as wasn't sure if water was going off."
Absolutely delightful people and fantastic cottage.
-
"The Nook met all our needs, ideal for 2 adults and a dog."
Clean, warm and comfortable with a good size enclosed garden for our dog. Loved seeing the lambs and chicken who came up to the fence to say hello each morning. Comfortable outside seating ideal for sitting out in the evening. A good sized lounge and bedroom and comfortable king size bed. The kitchen is quite small but fine for our needs. We hopefully we will be able to return again next year.
-
"The Nook is very comfortable."
Has all that you need. In a very peaceful countryside setting. Booking was easy and no issues with key collection. Would definitely re-visit.
-
"The Nook met all our requirements and exceeded our expectations."
Wonderfully clean and furnished to a high standard but also really comfy and homely. Ashley and Nikki were there if we needed any information but left us to enjoy our holiday which we did immensely. Surrounded by lovely countryside with lots of peaceful walks nearby. The sheep and hens in adjoining fields only added to the real country experience. It was a great place for Bella our dog and she loved it too. All in all a great place to kick back, relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Near enough for shopping in Louth or the beach at Mablethorpe both within 20 minutes drive. Thanks to Ashley and Nikki for the welcome pack of eggs, cake and a bottle of wine . We will revisit in the future.
-
"We had a couple of minor electrical problems which were sorted out very promptly."
A relaxing and peaceful place to stay - made perfect for us by having a dozen lambs in the field next door!!
-
"It should be noted somewhere in the description that the log burner that is shown in some of the photos and noted in the description "Fuel, power and starter pack for stove inc."
in rent" is no longer in situ. Even better would be to update the photos to show a true representation. This was a disappointment for us as one of the reasons we had booked the cabin was for its log burner, we were looking forward to snuggling up to a cosy fire over our Christmas break but alas not to be. The cabin is located in a very quiet village, overlooking fields. We assume the welcomed tasty eggs that were left at the property on our arrival (along with a pack of Christmas biscuits) were from the resident chickens, which are in the coop adjacent to the garden. The owners were very pleasant, left us alone and let us borrow their shared freezer. The barn front door can be a bit temperamental, on two occasions it wouldn't unlock easily. The clean cabin has a generous size bedroom with a comfortable mattress, we slept very well. The kitchen is compact and bijou, we had pre prepared meals which helped on this part. We would have preferred a curtain be placed along the back-patio door to make the room feel more homely in the evening instead of looking straight out to rain and reflection of yourself on the sofa in the evening. The side gate on the gravel path way, although it does mention in the hand book to check its closed before letting your dogs out, we read this on day 2 once we settled in. It does mean that in the evening as you cannot see the gate from the patio door you need to go out, down the gravel drive way (as its pitch black) to check in all weathers. On the first night one of our dogs, we found at 5 AM in the dark (morning ablutions) in the owners back garden. The gate had somehow opened during the night, thankfully he had not got on the road but not ideal in the pitch black in our Pj's to have such a fright. We made the gate (what we thought) secure again but it opened another 4 times during our stay. We would suggest a secondary gate be put in place further up the gravel. Wonderful walks in the surrounding area and good quiet beaches with comfortable sofa to retire to at the end of our walks made for a much-needed break for humans and dogs.
Many thanks for your comments. I would like to point out that the property was previously advertised having a log burner but this is no longer in affect. As you can see from the listing, it does not advertise such a feature and I can only apologise for the assumption made. With reference to your comments about the gate, it appears this was in fact damaged by the weather during your stay which we were not made aware of at the time. To put your mind at ease, this has since been repaired in full working order. I am delighted to see that you had enjoyed your stay and would love to see you holidaying with us again in the future. Thank you very much for your comments and for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Customer feedback is very important to help us continually improve our standards. Property Owner

"Lovely accommodation warm welcome very quiet and peaceful."
Thank you for the plum loaf
-
"Loved the location, so peaceful and lovely views."
Cottage was lovely, clean and comfy. Fantastic place for a relaxing holiday.
-
"We greatly enjoyed this stay at The Nook."
Nikki and Ashley Barker were friendly and helpful, and welcomed us with some nice eggs and a traditional Linclonshire plum fruit loaf and lemonade. We had plenty of space in the comfortable cottage, and snug warmth on a prematurely chill September day of rain and blustery wind. The location was ideal for us who are country lovers, and we enjoyed the nearby company four tups who were our immediate neighbours, and the hens and partridge. It has to be admitted that the kitchen is a little small, especially considering the generous size of the lounge and bedroom, but with a little creative discipline, we were able to organise our meals. Hot water is freely available, both in the kitchen and the bathroom, and there is good central heating - not that we needed it after the first rather cold day. Indeed, for the rest of the week, we had the radiators switched to zero. All in all, highly recommendable.
-
"Perfect place for us nice views and great garden area for our dog."
lovely cottage warm and comfy
-
"Lovely location."
Cottage spotlessly clean. Fenced garden for the dogs.My husband is disabled and this cottage was superb for him. Large spacious ground floor bedroom and walk in shower. So above our expectations for accessibility. Lovely public footpaths in surrounding area for dog walks. We were visiting relatives nearby but short drive to beach and market towns. Will be booking again. Thank you to our hosts.
-
"Although we had to cut the holiday short after 2 nights due to Covid 19 we will definitely be going back."
The owners were lovely and our dogs relaxed immediately, the grounds are safe and the chickens really friendly. Felt so peaceful and relaxed would recommend to anyone.
-
"Excellent property."
Perhaps shouldn’t be marketed with Wi-Fi access as exceedingly poor However the property is rural so connectivity is a problem.
-
"Great place, very comfortable & clean and has everything you need to enjoy your break."
.
-
"Beautiful place and so peaceful."
owners left lots of little treats including fresh eggs which were a great breakfast treat. such a lovely place to stay and I’m sure we will be back later in the year.
-
"The cottage was perfect, it had everything we needed."
The kitchen was well equipped and the eggs and gifts were lovely touches. It is set in well kept surroundings and the sheep and chickens were lovely to see out of the windows each morning. It was perfect for us. We needed accommodation as we were attending a family funeral in the area, and the cottage was just like going home every evening after a very difficult few days. We could not have asked for more. Thank you

"What a beautiful little place!"
Stunning views all around, outstandingly clean and tidy little cottage. Myself and my husband came away for a couple of days retreat for our second year anniversary and what a perfect place to relax and unwind from the hectic lifestyle we live in the Midlands. The cottage is furnished to a very high standard and includes everything you could possibly need. The fire is beautiful at cold nights. The bed is incredibly comfortable!! I wanted to take it with me! And the mezzanine overlooking the countryside was such a peaceful added extra. We took our little pup and she didnt want to leave, she's been sulking ever since we arrived home. Perfect place for dogs! We will definitely be back maybe summer time to enjoy the outside abit more! Mr & Mrs Baker are incredibly accommodating, nice little added touches for when you arrive and always on hand to assist if needed :o)

"The was such a relaxing stay."
The place is clean and very comfortable. Such a lovely place. Will definitely visit again.

"Nothing went wrong exactly."
But the negatives were the kitchen was so tiny provisions had to be stored under sink.not good. Nowhere to put anything. Also lighting was really poor mostly energy bulbs.I like to knit and read.not enough bright light. The patio doors were a new addition which was good but needed a curtain at night. On the plus side.the king size bed was bliss very comfortable. The room was huge too. I would not stay there again sadly. But a good spot nice area to explore.wagon and horses pub tired but dog friendly and good reasonable.

"Friendly and helpful owners and a generously sized and attractive detached property, in a quiet country location, with private outdoor space."
Not far from Louth, the Wolds, the beaches at Mablethorpe and Sutton.Although well equipped , the kitchen is very small and limits self catering options somewhat due to lack of workspace and storage - we wouldnt rebook the cottage because of this. However, for those that prefer to eat out more times than in, this place is ideal.

The nook is an absolute joy to stay in The decor and cleanliness was perfect and the settings are just a joy Would definitely return again and highly recommend the nook to anyone looking to get away for a few days The owners were very welcoming and the little personal touches made this a perfect few days to chill

"Enjoyed the very spacious bedroom, with very comfortable bed."
Also a spacious lounge with log burner, which we used every evening. Not a lot of storage space for food provisions, but we ate out for main meals so it didn't matter. We thought it was quirky (a good thing for us). Cleanliness and decor excellent and owners very nice. We were glad to hear that they are going to put a patio door in so there will be direct access to the garden .. good for our dogs. The owners obviously listen to and read guests comments, as we read several comments in their guest book, that had been done.

-

We have two dogs and found the outside tap very usefull on wet muddy days ,we think its an absolute must so well done to the owners thoughtfulness.loads of space in the lounge/dining area and superb bedroom ,good idea as well to keep dogs out of bedroom and off furniture i think this should go accross the board on all pet friendly lets.so whoever goes to the Nook enjoy.. We did .

"The cottage was extremely comfortable, cosy and warm."
There was plenty of space so as we have two Basset Hounds we always need somewhere for their beds. The village was very pretty and with a quiet lane close by we were able to take the dogs out first thing and last thing for a bathroom stop! Owners were helpful and around if needed and the few days we were there were most enjoyable. There was very nice selection of 'goodies' on arrival too. Would like to book and visit again.
