  • "No problems at all with the cottage, wonderful in every way."

    We hope that we left clean and tidy for you. Parking was the only problem, but it was just like being at home, all for one and one for all space. It did not make unloading or loading easy but hey ho, that's how things go. Lovely stay in lovely area.

  • "Millside is a beautiful property, perfectly situated to explore the wonderful city of Lincoln."

    The house was spotlessly clean, with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We loved having our breakfast and the odd evening drink in the cute little rear yard, right next to Ellis Mill which is worth a visit in its own right. There are plenty of shops within a very short walk, including a well-stocked Co-Op. As for pubs and restaurants, there are so many great venues, again within easy walking distance. We'd give a special mention to the Plough Boy pub just around the corner, run by the lovely Megan who became a real friend of the family during our week's holiday! Highly recommend this property if you're planning a trip to Lincoln, which I'd also recommend as it's well worth a visit.

    Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are really glad to hear that you had a great holiday in our beautiful city and that the house met all of your needs. We would love to welcome you again anytime. Property Owner

  • "Millside was very well maintained and clean."

    However the stairs into the upstairs bathroom had a big drop and my sister tripped in the night and banged her head. We did not realise that the stairs upstairs had two steps either side with no rail to hold and was not suitable for the elderly. The one major problem was that although there was a parking permit there was nowhere to park. If we had not had relatives nearby where we could park and they had to pick us up each day we would have been in a muddle especially when we arrived with our luggage.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you found Millside to be very well maintained and clean, but we are sorry to hear that your sister had a fall whilst staying at Millside and was glad to hear that she is OK. The step down into the bathroom is included in the property description and there is a Mind the Step sign on the bathroom door. We have also supplied an accessible downstairs shower room for this reason. Unfortunately these terraced houses do have 2 steps up to the bedrooms at the top of the stairs and unfortunately there is no wall space to place a handrail. Due to this we are not listed as one of Sykes' accessible holiday lets. We are sorry that you struggled to park your car outside the property. However, the permit zone is quite large and as well as the street outside Millside it does include a further 7 streets. It may have been more difficult to park being peak summer holidays with a lot going on in the cultural quarter of the City. Property Owner

    The place was spotlessly clean, and the beds and sofas were comfortable, there was also plenty of hot water. I was concerned about the parking, as we have never used parking permits before but we parked with ease all week. There were plenty of things to do and see, plus loads of places to eat within walking distance. I would recommend this holiday home without hesitation. Thank you.

    We could not find fault at all , a lovely welcome pack on arrival , a beautifully clean cottage and only a short walk from Lincoln city . Having a parking permit available made it a simple matter to park in the street at the front of Millside. The facilities are great , with a well equipped kitchen , comfortable sofas and beds , very good quality towels and linen . We had a lovely sunny bank holiday weekend and enjoyed sitting in the outside area , admiring the windmill next door . Would not hesitate to recommend

    Millside is so well designed, such a good use of space. It was spotless when we arrived. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and it is in a fantastic location, local shops, restaurants and pubs just a few minutes walk and in the other direction the city centre. The parking permit was left out ready to use straight away. The treats and milk left were very welcome. The courtyard was lovely to sit out and with the view of the windmill.

    In the high part of Lincoln, a short level walk from the castle, cathedral and old town. Even closer is a decent supermarket (2 mins walk) and several takeaways. Parking is not an issue at all. There were always spaces in Mill Road quite close to the house. If you want to move your car right to the house, spaces open up during working hours. The property is a modernized terrace house which is clean, roomy enough and comfortably furnished. Our only negative comment is that the stairs are very steep with shallow treads and you cannot get a strong grip on the handrail provided. Felt a bit precarious when descending,

  • "Beautiful little terraced cottage."

    Decor throughout is so lovely. Ideally positioned for visiting the cathedral quarter of Lincoln, with its cathedral, castle, cafes, wine bars and restaurants. Kitchen well equipped, modern and easy to use. Having two bathrooms is great - one on both floors. Bedrooms are comfortable and spacious. Two big sofas in the lounge made relaxing in the evening very comfortable. The only thing that was a challenge is the parking. The parking permit is super helpful but trying to park near the cottage was a challenge and I did not feel totally comfortable with not having the car nearby. Car was fine in the end and I’m not sure what the owners can do about such busy parking - perhaps negotiate with the windmill owners to see if they can rent a space in their unused car park and have a key entry system so that it remains private? It didn't impact our holiday at all. Would definitely book again.

    Thank you so much for your positive feedback, we are really pleased that you enjoyed the cottage and all that Lincoln has to offer. Sorry to hear you had a problem parking outside the cottage, this may be due to it being the school summer holidays and the street being busier than usual.
