"This is a delightful place to and situated down a quiet country road."
Robin the host is great and accommodating. As two families with 4 kids between us it was a comfortable stay - good distance to the centre Lincoln where you have the cathedral and castle. It also has a handy EV charger which was super helpful. I would highly recommend it - the hot tub is a bonus too!

"We all had a great time this weekend, it was much bigger than anticipated."
All the girls who went all commented on how nice it was. It was very clean and the brownies were amazing. It had everything we needed especially down to kitchen appliances. Thank you for a wonderful weekend we will definitely be back in the summer so we can use the pool.

"Our two twelve year olds and our 8 year old enjoyed the pool and the hot tub, so much that we had no need to go anywhere else!"
The weather wasn't kind to us but that didn't stop the children having the best time ever! The house was very comfortable and all needs were catered for. It was so nice to have enough soft seating in the lounge and a table big enough for us all eat together, which is often not available in holiday homes. The outside shower room was very handy, which meant that the children weren't walking through the house dripping. The children loved the triple bunk beds and feeding the chickens. The owner Robin was very approachable and friendly but not at all intrusive.

"The property is great, immaculately clean with everything you need."
The location is good and close to Lincoln which is a short drive away. It was too cold for us to use the pool but the hot tub was just what we needed. Fresh eggs , mini brownies and a jug of milk was waiting for us.
The only downside is the check in time of 4pm as when you are only there for a weekend or short break, it feels like a lost day. I appreciate that the property needs preparing for the next guest but from check out at 10am to 4pm is a long period. To get in from 2pm would give that little bit more time especially in winter when it is dark early. I imagine in summer it is fantastic having the pool.

"Myself and my family spent a week at The Big Splash Cottage."
It’s an exceptional clean holiday home. we had a happy stay and it’s truely a lovely place to have a holiday.
We where welcomed with homemade brownies, milk and a bottle of Prosecco.
All information clearly provided regarding amenities within the cottage and Robin (the owner) very helpful / friendly and accommodating during our stay.
Helped us make a cosy fire and found a family members ring that was lost in the pool.
Would highly recommend this property, it’s fantastic. Bedding felt fresh like new, towels and fans provided, beds very comfortable, children loved bunk beds and walk in shower brilliant. parking available outside cottage and felt very safe and secure.
Everything we needed was provided. Swimming pool & Hot Tub additional highlights and sitting area was wonderful and grandchildren played in pool for hours.
Will be returning next year. The cottage itself charming and very comfortable, perfect. 10 out of 10, amazing.
Many thanks.

The property is lovely and cosy and just the perfect base the kids loved the pool and we loved the hot tub. But the real great part is the hostess Robin! We were greeted with home baked treats she took the time to show my son her hens and nothing was too much we had a fantastic time and we will definitely be booking again!

"The Big Splash is a fantastic place to stay with young children as there is so much to keep them entertained in the outside space."
My little boy fell in love with the chickens, he spent hours outside with them and enjoyed the responsibility of putting them to bed. Helpful tips from Robin (especially free parking!) and we'll definitely try forest school next time. A few small improvements would be black out blinds, a quieter boiler and finding another spot for the maintenance trailer as this did effect our first impression. Lincoln is beautiful and there is plenty nearby to amuse the little ones. Olé, Olé is a fantastic restaurant choice

"Easily my favourite holiday cottage place to stay so far."
This is my 3rd stay at The Big Splash and once again it didn't fail to give a great time. The host Robin and her team headed by Kathy made sure that I was made to feel welcome, and I was. I was greeted with lovely fresh eggs from Robin's hens, some other goodies and beautiful spring flowers.
I travel alone so being made to feel welcome and feeling safe are important to me and The Big splash delivered once again. The peacefulness and fresh air are such a tonic - as are the bird song in the morning - utterly delightful.

"My second stay at The Big Splash."
I was delighted to find that without my asking, adjustments had been made to the furniture to suit my particular needs, which was beyond necessary and showed caring. I was also made to feel welcome with springtime fresh flowers and some edible goodies - a really nice start to my break.
In other holiday cottages I've found that I've have to wash kitchen eqpt, cups, cutlery etc before I use them - but here literally *everything* in the kitchen was sparkling clean and lined up nicely in the cupboards and drawers, again - a joy.
The rest of the property was spotlessly clean, light and airy, the bed was still very comfortable with lovely crisp white Egyptian cotton sheets which were changed for fresh bedding weekly.
The Big Splash is really well located for Lincoln and and all the best parts of Lincolnshire with lots to do, but frankly I was happy to simply enjoy the peace and fresh air walking the lanes and fields, and having time at the property enjoying the bird song and watching the Red Arrows practicing - really nice.
I will return.

"The thoughtfulness and hospitality of Robin, Fred and Cathy really made my 2 week stay with them lovely and enjoyable."
Nothing was too much effort for them.
Upon arrival the property was nice and warm, with chocolate brownies and other goodies to welcome me.
The bed is reeeeally comfy and the kitchen was well equipped. The outdoor pool and hot tub were kept nice and clean even though I didn't use them.
This is a rural property with nothing but the bird song and a few neighbours, which I loved, yet Lincoln is only about 15 minutes away, Doddington Hall with cafe and farm shop are nearby, and the famous old fashioned Upton Chippery is just a short drive away. There's lots of villages nearby to explore and on weekdays you can watch the Red Arrows fly over as they practice.
I've had many stays in holiday cottages and in my experience its very apparent when a cottage is just an income for the host, or if like here at The Big Splash where your enjoyment really is a priority for the Host and her team.
I'll be back.

Private pool, Tennis courts, Basketball ring and Chickens for fresh eggs! Robyn was a delightful host and got involved playing with the kids. The house itself was very nicely finished and very clean We hope to return as soon as we can. We also had a lovely family next door and our kids played together the whole time while the adults chat. Honestly the best location and stay I've had in the UK also Lincoln is a beautiful place to visit nearby. Really recommend. The pool was much larger than I expected.

"The property was a real home from home, comfortable, peaceful and had everything we needed for a relaxing week away."
The pool, hot tub & tennis courts were a real boon especially with the weather being so good. From feeding the chickens in the morning & listening to the owls and other wildlife at night, watching the house martins fledge, hearing the buzzards screech & watching the bats soar in the evenings it really was a wonderful week. Topped off with a day in Lincoln visiting the Magna Carta & Victorian Prison & walking the castle walls with lunch at Olé Olé, it was so perfect that we’ve already booked again!!!

"We stayed here in Easter 2022."
This was our first experience of Lincoln. We absolutely loved it! The Big Splash was the perfect size for our large family. Our 17 year old loved having the downstairs room and en suite to himself: The younger children loved the triple bunk and the Fire Fighter theme. Lovely little touches throughout the property such as the Imp Hunt, the delicious brownies, bottle of fizz, log burner and luxury private hot tub, made this stay one of our favourite family holidays. Robin was nothing but helpful and kind. She always had fun jobs and activities for the children to do which was not expected at all but we were so thankful and grateful for them. It just helped us to relax and enjoy our stay all the more. Elizabeth/Buffy, our youngest, soon became very fond of Robin and are now besties and pen pals. We have our summer holiday planned already to come here again. Thank you Robin xxx

"Nice property in a quiet location, well equipped."
Think the property would benefit from having thermostats on individual radiators as they seem to be either off or on and very hot when on, too hot to touch particularly for children. The house was really too warm if the radiators were on but too cool if off.
