  • "The Old Barn is spacious, spotlessly clean and comfortable."

    All of the appliances and fittings are top quality and worthy of a 5 star rating. We stayed for a week to explore Lincoln City cente and other attractions in and around Lincolnshire and had a great time knowing we'd be returning back to the Old Barn in the evenings where a comfortable, quiet, good night's sleep was almost guaranteed, as it's so quiet. Thanks Sonia, We loved our stay at the Old Barn and look forward to staying again when we next visit the area.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to give feedback, it is greatly appreciated. So pleased that you enjoyed your stay and we would absolutely love to have you back anytime. Thank you for being perfect guests and looking after the cottage so beautifully - very much appreciated. Property Owner

    This place was truly stunning. Every attention to detail has been thought of to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. The barn was spotless and had all you needed, the coffee machine was brilliant and the bathroom was amazing. Sonia and Michael were lovely hosts, so welcoming and made our stay so special. Catherine and Paul from the Old Manor Hall on the grounds were such a lovely couple. Our dog Charlie made friends with Betsy and Smudge and of course the farm cats! There are so many wonderful places to visit and great walks around the area. Hopefully we will return soon as cannot recommend this property enough, it was truly exceptional. Thank you, Joanne, Carl and Charlie

  • "A Barn Conversion Gem."

    We loved our stay, the property itself was a stunning blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The glass spiral staircase was a unique and eye catching feature that perfectly complemented the barn's original character. The property was spotless, spacious and so so comfortable. The interior design was impeccable with attention to detail in every corner which made it a perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring the surrounding countryside. The garden complete with a wildlife pound was a lovely place to sit and relax with a morning coffee. We had the gorgeous farm cats visit occasionally and they were ever so sweet. The owners ensured we had a great stay even proving a lovely welcome pack which included wine and chocolate. Overall our stay was a fantastic experience we couldn't fault it. The comfortable accommodation and thoughtful amenities made it a perfect place to escape and recharge; a little piece of heaven. We would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

    Thank you so much for the incredible feedback. We are absolutely delighted that you enjoyed your stay at The Old Barn (and share our love of the property and setting!). Very much hope you can return someday. Best wishes, Sonia Property Owner
