"A relaxing week spent in this lovely cottage that perfectly met our needs."
It was perfectly located for all the pubs, shops and restaurants - our particular favourites being the Woodland Cafe and Petwood Hotel and gardens. The cottage is beautifully furnished and maintained and immaculately clean. It was a joy to stay there for our first time in Woodhall Spa.

"We had a lovely weekend stay."
Close to shops in Woodhall Spa. Very well equipped. Would definitely recommend this property.
-
"Lovely cottage in a beautiful small town."
Kitted out well, with perfect cleanliness and facilities. The rear garden was as described perfectly secure four our 2 little dogs. Lots to do in the area especially if you like walking. Several air museums commemorating the areas involvement in WW11. 10 minutes walk to the main shopping area. The cottage and area was so good that we have already re-booked for next year.
-
"Great stay once again."
Very comfortable, with great facilities and love the location . Feels like home from home. Hope to return again soon.

"Lovely cottage."
Comfortable and convenient. Perhaps more drawer space for clothes in the bedroom and the pool table needs to be replaced as the balls do not roll properly across the surface. The games were a welcome addition.
-
"A lovely holiday home."
Spacious and modern with brilliant additions of a games room with pool table and an EV charger. The garden is fully enclosed so was totally safe for our dog to run around in. I would recommend this property. We had a great time.

"Cottage is in a fab location, 10 mins walk from the high st and some great dog walks."
Pool table was a big hit with the kids and the garden is lovely. The dog bed & blankets were a lovely touch. Some of the basics did let it down a little bit. The lack of clothes storage space in the bedrooms was an issue. My teenagers in the twin room didn’t unpack as there was no suitable space for them to put all of their clothes, the room is plenty big enough for a wardrobe. In the main bedroom there’s a hanging rail, but nothing else. The shower in the ensuite was broken (luckily avoided soaking the ceiling). The sink in the ensuite is also tiny, so not really suitable for anything other than hand washing. As there’s no storage there’s no where to put toothbrushes or any toiletries, so we mainly shared the main bathroom. Loo roll holders/stands would also be great. There’s nowhere to hang wet towels, so hooks either in the bedrooms or bathrooms would be helpful. Had to ask for a bathroom bin (which was quickly delivered) as the only one in the property is in the kitchen.

"Very nice cottage with an excellent garden for our dogs."
We had a lovely holiday with the weather being reasonably kind to us.
-
"The house was modern, clean, spacious, with a secure, large lawn ideal for our two dogs, well equipped, with tasteful decor and in a quiet area within walking distance of amenities."
A couple of practical touches would make it even better: serving dishes in the kitchen (we had to improvise for a main meal for six adults); toilet roll holders in the bathrooms, somewhere to place toiletries in the bathroom. But these are only minor points (there were plenty of coat hangers) and did not detract from a very enjoyable stay in a property that we would heartily recommend.

"We spent a lovely week here with lots of things to do locally - eating out, walks and places to visit."
The property was ideally placed for all of this and was very comfortable, it's situated along a nice quiet street and only a 10 minute walk to the row of shops. Watched a film in the Kinema in the woods which is a real hidden gem. Bianca answered any queries very quickly. All in all a very enjoyable week!

"Lovely cottage"
-
"Lovely comfortable accommodation with everything that we needed."
Loved the pool room and our dogs enjoyed the enclosed garden. Some nice fine touches - rugs for the dogs, milk and biscuits. Bianca was very accommodating allowing our friends to park on the property before check-in time. Ideal location for this part of the country and the locals of Woodhall Spa was very welcoming. We will be back in the not too distant future. Thank you again Bianca
So pleased you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you back soon Property Owner

"Beautiful, clean, comfortable cottage with an enclosed garden which was great for our dog."
There is an external Pool Room (which we didn’t use) but I’m sure others will enjoy it. The Kinema in the Woods worth a visit and it’s close to the local shops. Several National Trust properties within a short drive. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and hope to return again.
Thankyou so much for your lovely feedback and we hope to see back again Property Owner

"An excellent holiday cottage."
Very clean and comfortable. Garden ideal for our dogs. About a 20 minute walk to the village centre and Woodhall Spa is a lovely village. We did notice that if the en suite shower is turned up fully water comes over the top of the cubicle, hits the door and wets the floor. Not a problem but you need to be aware. We would definitely book Giggling Goose again.
Thankyou for your comments and we are pleased you had a lovely holiday Property Owner

"Our stay in the cottage was fantastic."
The cottage was well equipped and had everything we needed for our two week stay. The beds were really comfortable and the cakes provided were delicious. The pool table and games were a great asset although we didnt use them. The enclosed garden was great for our two dogs who loved it. The owner was on hand if needed and was very friendly. It was was great value for money and would definitely recommend to family and friends.
Thankyou for your kind feedback, it was lovely to meet you and your wife and your beautiful doggos Property Owner

"Enjoyed our stay but a few little things needed attention."
The internal double door handle kept coming off which we fixed. Bath plug didn’t work. Shower room door difficult to open.
Thankyou for your feedback we are pleased you had a nice stay, thankyou for letting us know about these maintenance issues we have now seen that all are dealt with without people making us aware we wouldn’t know. Property Owner

"A true home from home."
We adored Giggling Goose! The property met - and exceeded - all our expectations and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Clean, spacious yet cosy, with beautiful decor. Both the house and village were peaceful and quiet with lots to keep us occupied. Bianca provided prompt communication on the lead up to and during our stay. The lemon drizzle cake on arrival was a lovely added touch and much appreciated. Thank you for hosting us!
Thank you so much for you wonderful feedback we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and the lemon drizzle is rather yummy Property Owner

"Another great stay at Giggling Goose."
A lovely bungalow in a fabulous location. The house is well equipped, comfy, clean and a real home from home. The owners are great and available if any queries. There are lots of good shops in walking distance and plenty of places to visit in the area.

"Very well kept, clean property, had a few problems with the fridge/freezer but we have notified the owners."
En-suite shower is a bit of a squeeze. Lovely welcome gifts of cakes and eggs were there for our arrival which were a lovely touch. Found a lovely local wood to walk and local caravan parks for dog walks and play parks. Visited Wolds Zoo and Tattersall farm park both were lovely and extremely well priced. Skegness and Lincoln are around a half hour drive too. Local restaurant Zucci us a must we also ate out at Abbey lodge and Village Limits which were lovely too.
Thankyou for your kind feedback we are pleased you had a wonderful stay And you will be pleased to know we replaced the fridge / freezer after your comments. Property Owner

"Had a wonderful week at Giggling Goose and would highly recommend."
The location is excellent for exploring the area and easy to get to many locations on the coast and Lincoln. Also for National Trust members there are 3 good places to visit, Gunby, Belton house and Tattershall castle. The RAF visitors centre is well worth an afternoon. Woodhall Spa itself is a beautiful village with many eateries and pubs, the Kinema in the woods is a great little cinema. Having an electric car the charging point was brilliant with no worries having to locate EV chargers and waiting around. Loved the games room and enjoyed playing pool. The bungalow was very well kitted out and our stay extremely comfortable.
Thankyou for your kind feedback we are pleased you had a wonderful stay Property Owner

"Really lovely property."
Very clean and comfortable.Kitchen really well stocked. Our only problem was the en suite shower.It is extremely small.There was no shelf to put anything on so shower gel/shampoo had to be put on the floor.This was a big problem as all our party are over 65 and are not as flexible as we once were and could not bend down safely in the enclosed space.Although there was another (very good) shower over the bath in the main bathroom, two of our party can’t climb into a bath.They therefore had a week without a shower.An addition of a hanging shelf in the en-suite would make a big difference.
Thankyou for your kind feedback we are pleased you had a wonderful stay You will be pleased to know we added 2 shelf’s to the en-suite shower after your comment. Property Owner

"Great stay at Giggling Goose."
Very comfortable clean property with everthing you need. Lovely location with plenty of things to do locally. Very helpful owners (slight problem with ev charger which was solved by Lee within minutes of ringing him!). Delicious cakes left as a welcome pack together with milk and tea bags. Looking forward to visiting again.
we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and see you have booked again so we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner

"The only one thing was it says a king size bed in en-suite room but it was a double."
I’m sure it was originally king size but Sykes have not updated their information, and not Bianca’s fault, my family members have a super king bed so they found it very small. But everything else in the bungalow was superb and would definitely recommend, there is also Prime & Netflix which also Sykes does not state, so abig bonus.Thank you Bianca we had a great time.
thank you for your kind feedback - i have notified sykes of the bed size. thank you Property Owner

"We had a very nice stay at Giggling Goose cottage."
The bungalow was very clean and had everything you need for a great self catering break. The pool table was a bonus for entertaining our teenage son in the evenings and the garden was secure and a great size for our dog. Nice touches when we arrived such as fresh flapjacks and milk etc after a long journey. Would highly recommend staying here
We are so thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us xx Property Owner
-
"We had a lovely stay here."
Loved the walk into Woodhall Spa for shops and restaurants, of which there are many. Would recommend the Kinema in the Woods, if you want a quirky cinema experience with some of the latest blockbusters. The outdoor heated swimming pool at Jubilee Park is also a good option, just check the times, as it may get busy at the weekend, when the schools are out, or during swimming lessons. The cafe by the pool also does excellent milk shakes and has a good cake selection for a good price. We would definitely come again, although my only quibble was that the pillows were feather , which set off my allergies.
Hello we are glad you had a lovely stay, if we are aware of allergies we would always try our best to cater for you. Property Owner

"Enjoyed our stay very much."
Ideal situation as could easily walk into village for meals & shops. Great walks for the dogs - plenty of dog friendly places for meals & doggy ice cream! Enclosed garden ideal for dogs - didn’t use games room. Would be nice if there was another big mirror in one of the other bedrooms- but would definitely stay again
Hi, Thankyou for your lovely comments we have taken feedback on board and you will be pleased to know popped another large mirror in another bedroom x Property Owner

"Absolutely gorgeous cottage, with everything you could need and more!"
Spotlessly clean, comfortable furnishings and excellent facilities including dog bed, blanket and bowls. Our teenage son loved the games room and the garden was very safe and secure for our dog Max, whilst my parents enjoyed watching the birds come and go through the large window in the dining area. Woodhall Spa itself was great, we really didn't want to leave! Nice independent shops and bars, plus the Kinema in the woods. Plenty of other local places to visit too, including RAF Coningsby, Horncastle, Louth, Lincoln and enjoyed a private swim at the Pool by the Bain. Also many thanks for the cakes, they were delicious.
What wonderful feedback Thankyou so much xx Property Owner

"It’s our second time at the property and it’s a lovely place."
However, this time, the property wasn’t as clean as the time before. We opened the fridge and had to clean it as the previous guest had left it dirty and a pool of water had collected at the bottom of the fridge which was from fish - quite putrid! The crockery had stale food stuff on it and the cutlery drawer had crumbs in. These are the things I expect to be cleaned as standard and a priority when I stay at a holiday place. One of the dog toys had rolled under the sofa and and I scooped it out with a sweeping brush and brought out lots of debris where it hadn’t been cleaned so I swept under the entire sofa and lots of mess and dust was underneath. A little disappointing in that respect but the property itself I would highly recommend.
-
"Lovely clean cottage, had everything we needed to enjoy our stay, just like home from home."
What more can I say than we have booked again!
Wow we can’t wait to see you returning Thankyou Property Owner

"Perfect place to stay in a lovely village"

"Our stay was wonderful, truly lovely and beautiful."
We would go back in a heart beat. The owners were great, very clean and and a cute little welcome package. Nothing was too much trouble. A delight. We are very grateful
-
"This is a very well appointed bungalow set in a pretty area of Woodhall Spa in a residential area well off the main road."
There was a very nice welcome pack left by the owners which included some super cakes. There was also a treat for our dog, which he thoroughly enjoyed, thank you. There was also a dog bed and throw available in the lounge area. It was nice to have an enclosed garden area to the rear of the property, and also a gated drive and parking area to the front. As other guests have commented, there could be more drawer or dressing table provision, but this was not an issue for us. I thank the owners for their attention to detail and would happily recommend this property to anyone wishing to visit this area.

"Great holiday bungalow in a very nice location."
Woodhall Spa was central to many of the places we wished to visit and the property was very comfortable and equipped to a very high standard of fitting. The owner was very easy to contact and we appreciated the welcome back. Overall we loved Giggling Goose.

"The cottage was fantastic!"
Felt very homely and the host was helpful and great with any questions we had. It was clean, spacious and the host even left gift hamper for us on arrival. The games room was a nice bonus. We would definitely return. The only way to improve the cottage would be to add a hot tub!
