"Thank you to Louise and Paul for a lovely stay at Tawny Owl Cottage, there is everything you need for a perfect relaxing holiday, the hot tub was beautiful and our dog Millie enjoyed the garden."
There is a lovely cosy log burner which we lit once on a chilly evening with plenty of logs to put on it, it was just perfect for us and we will be returning. Thank you again
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a very positive review. We are very glad that you and Millie enjoyed your stay and we welcome you back anytime! Kind regards Louise and Paul Property Owner

"Too many times we have been disappointed by trick photography and information not being exact, but this property, its information and local amenities are exactly as shown/described."
The property is very comfortable and clean with a decent sized TV for a change, has all the things you need and loved the little intricacies dotted about which were not overlooked. We couldn’t believe the size of the garden which was for our sole use during the stay - Tiki Bar a bonus too. The hot tub is just to die for - top of the range - not just any old tub thrown in to gain extra rental! Absolutely by far the best place we have ever stayed so far. Just one extremely minute grizzle - we missed having something in the shower cubicle to put shampoo etc on rather than having to bend over…. Kat & Stu - September 2024
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, which was absolutely delightful to read! We will get straight onto that suggestion... Kind regards Louise Property Owner

"We had a lovely break we where unfortunate with the weather for the first few days but when the sun shine appeared it was fantastic in the garden, lounging by the hot tub and the tiki bar swinging on the hammock was bliss , our dogs loved it we thought the setting was perfect for our dogs as one of them is end of life and just needed peace and quiet and she got that, we couldn't explore anywhere with our situation but everything we needed was close by I would say the only thing I would change is the garden access!"
maybe a door from the kitchen straight into the garden and maybe a bigger TV haha fantastic hosts and fantastic stay would defo recommend and stay again
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are not sure if the bigger TV is a joke because it is very large - haha. Everyone loves a big TV.... We are still considering garden access but it is tricky because the windows have radiators under them and relocation of these is a bit problematic because of our log burner citing. We continue to explore the idea though.. I do hope everything is going well with your little dog and we are so pleased we were able to provide you all with a lovely relaxing break. Property Owner

"The accommodation and facilities surpassed our expectations."
Beautifully decorated, a huge garden and hot tub. Very dog friendly, with all equipment provided for them (ie. lead, doggie bags, biscuits, etc.). Added to this, a generous welcome pack. The host and hostess very friendly and approachable. Highly recommended.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely review. We really appreciate the rating and knowing what is valued by our guests. Kindest regards Louise Property Owner

"Truly one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in."
Spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable. The hosts have gone that extra mile to make sure their guests have a wonderful stay, they have literally thought of everything. Our dog Bonnie was in seventh heaven in the huge garden and the hot tub was a must and very addictive. Rugs are provided for the evening to sit outside if it’s cool. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Check out the hosts recommendations for places to eat and visit we went to several and couldn’t fault them. All in all a wonderful holiday in a delightful cottage we cannot recommend this place highly enough.
WOW! What can I say, what a wonderful review - thank you! We do try very hard to make every guests stay special and hope they return. The local area has a lot to offer and is always really nice to hear feedback when guests have ventured out and visited some of the recommended places or others places on their personal list. We hope to welcome you back one day. Kind regards Louise and Paul Property Owner

"We have just returned from a week at this fabulous holiday home."
The garden is exceptional and completely secure - I think the dogs thought their Christmases had come all at once with the amount of space to run around in. It also has multiple seating areas, a BBQ, and the hot tub was an absolute bonus and loved by us humans. Only things to note are you have no back door directly for access into the garden, but this isn't an issue at all as it is a short distance from the door to gate and it is completely secure, and we were unlucky that the mosquitoes were out in force so make use of the repellent in the house. The hosts are on hand if you need them but very respectful and you have complete privacy if you choose. Louise was very kind to agree to allow us into Lincoln one day, leaving the dogs behind for a couple of hours which exceeded our expectations. The living area is cosy and we made good use of the log burner. The Co-op across the road was ideal for last minute bits. We had lovely walks through Rimac Nature Reserve and other local areas. We also must recommend Appleby's for their delicious ice cream. It was a lovely peaceful holiday made perfect by this wonderful cottage.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review and thank you for all the positive feedback. It is lovely to hear that you got out and about to see what Lincolnshire and Lincoln City has to offer. The mosquitoes were out and about that week, we noticed too and we have therefore placed Citronella Candles in the bar for guests to use as well as the repellant! We welcome you back anytime.

"Beautiful cottage with fantastic facilities in a lovely part of Lincolnshire."
Although we decided not to take our dogs, it is a dog-friendly and wheelchair accessible property. There’s a huge, fully enclosed and private garden behind the cottage and plenty of walks very close by. I would heartily recommend Tawny Owl Cottage. One suggestion: an oven glove would be a useful addition, but apart from that we had everything we needed for our week’s holiday.
Thank you for your feedback. We are really pleased you both enjoyed your stay. I am sorry the housekeeper forgot to leave out the oven glove, we've made sure it is there going forward because we agree - always handy to have! We welcome you back anytime! Property Owner

"Highly recommend for those with dogs due to size of garden and locality to beaches and walks."
Cottage was very clean and would definitely book again. Only downside for us was the small double and the fact the the frame creaked every time you move but did not spoil anything for us.
Thank you for your review. Please note the bed is a Standard Double bed not a small double, unfortunately with the fitted wardrobes it cannot accommodate a King Size bed. The metal ornate frame is new and might unfortunately creak with some movements but we have investigated it since your departure and we could not hear any creaking of the frame or slats, therefore we are not sure why this happened during your stay. We will continue to monitor it though so thank you for letting us know. Property Owner

"We spent a week in this lovely cottage that was amazing had everything you could ..."

Thank you very much for your lovely feedback. Such a shame about the weather. Property Owner

"Tawny Owl Cottage is definitely one of the best cottages we have stayed in over the last 3 years."
The accommodation is perfect for a couple with a small pet and the external space more than enough with a super hot tub. Communication about what was happening with hot tub upkeep via text messages from Louise was welcomed too. I would recommend Tawny Owl Cottage to any friends or family looking for a comfortable break. The local pub and a coop literally across the road and some nice short walks in the local area were icing on the cake for those who just want to park the car and relax. To mention any shortcomings would definitely be nitpicking. Recommended.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review. We really do appreciate this, as it really helps us to know if we are getting things right for our guests. We regularly hear that the local pub serves excellent food and seems to be very popular with our guests. Kindest regards Property Owner

"We had an amazing stay at Tawny Owl cottage."
Louise is a lovely host and has thought of everything needed for a home from home holiday. We really appreciated the welcome pack for both ourselves and our four legged friends, what a lovely touch. The property is genuinely dog friendly, no signs saying "don't do this" and "not allowed" that, throws were provided for the sofas and their comfort etc. The cottage is super comfortable and the garden and hot tub fabulous. We enjoyed a fair few hours out there with the pooches, enjoying a tipple at the tiki bar and a soak in the HUGE hot tub. The cottage is in a lovely area with lots to explore nearby. There's a pub within a 2 minute walk and a CO-OP across the road - very convenient if you fancy a cosy day in. All in all, couldn't fault it and can't wait to return which we definitely will. Thank you guys for a wonderful stay, see you soon!
Thank you so much for leaving such a fabulous review! We do try really hard to ensure our guests thoroughly enjoy their stay and we LOVE dogs, having one ourselves, so we know how important it is for them to be comfortable so their owners can relax and enjoy their stay. You are welcome back anytime. Take care until then. Property Owner

"We had a great stay the property is exactly as the listing."
Our dogs loved the enormous garden lots of running space for them and we made the most of the hot tub, can’t wait to book again. The owners had thought of everything the welcome tray and doggy treats were lovely. The owners were great and checked we were all ok with everything. We enjoyed a lovely meal at the pub just along from the property and the seaside is only a 20 minute car ride. We were more than happy with the property , our stay was very relaxing just what we needed.
Many thanks indeed for taking the time to leave such a helpful review. You are most welcome to return anytime. Kind regards Louise and Paul. Property Owner

"A lovely cottage in a great location."
Owners were lovely and left a good welcome pack including treats for our pups. Fabulous garden and we made good use of the hot tub. The dogs loved having a large area to run around in. We had a lovely meal in the Axe and Cleaver pub which is less than a 5 minute walk. Co-op next door to pub was very well stocked.
Thank you very much for your review and taking the time to leave this. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time at the cottage. Property Owner

"The cottage was as described, being very clean and comfortable."
The garden was exclusively private with excellent facilities however a parasol would have been beneficial as the weather we had was constant sunshine. The owners were always available if needed and were very friendly, but not intrusive. We would highly recommend.
Hello, Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. It is much appreciated. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We have now organised a parasol for the outdoor area. Thank you Property Owner

The property
Resting on the outskirts of Lincolnshire, in the coastal village of North Somercotes is Tawny Owl Cottage, a delightful, single-storey abode.
Just paces away from a host of local amenities and a short journey from the beach, the cottage offers guests a stylish open plan interior, with a homely snug to relax in and a large pet-friendly garden with a 6 seater hot tub and tiki bar, the accommodation invites two visitors for a relaxing getaway, with two furry companions in tow.
Travel down the private shared driveway and park up outside before entering the well-equipped kitchen/diner, providing everything that you'll need for a self-catered stay, including an electric oven and hob, and a convenient breakfast bar with USB charging sockets, desk phone charger and a music system.
If you'd prefer to dine alfresco, locate the large private rear garden, complete with several patio areas, a barbecue, a bubbling hot tub, a hammock, an egg chair and a tiki bar with fridge and truly spoil yourself with an indulgent soak before toasting to some quality time.
Refresh later in the sleek shower room ahead of cosying up in the snug in front of the woodburning stove.
Then climb into the plush double bed before you awake feeling refreshed and spend a day exploring your surroundings, starting with a hike across one of many nature reserves enveloping the area; choose from Donna Nook Grey Seal Colony, Rimac Nature Reserve, and Gibraltor Point, all peppered with wildlife.
Baby pup seals are currently at the local nature Sanctuary.
Make your way towards the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB, firstly stopping off at the quaint market town of Louth and take in a Museum Tour, or climb Hubbard's Hills for a breath-taking vantage point and stroll along the meandering stream.
Spend another day at Cleethorpes Beach and enjoy award-winning fish and chips on the pier, then aboard a steam train on the coastal light railway for a fun experience, brush up on your local knowledge at Time Trap Museum, or explore the local country park.
Continue south towards both Mablethorpe and Skegness beaches; both recommended to visit for a host of seaside attractions or stay closer to the cottage and visit Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes which is an area of specific scientific interest.
Tawny Owl Cottage really does offer it all, from lovely countryside rambles accross the Wolds to coastal days out, as well as the opportunity to relax and unwind!
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
