"Millcott was everything we expected it to be."
Comfortable, cosy and exceptionally clean. We loved Mr Ned, looking at us through his stable door. We would only say that due to it being November the conservatory was too cold for us to eat at the dining table, so maybe a heater of some sort could be positioned in there. Apart from that, it was perfect and for anyone staying there you won't be disappointed.

"Nice spacious rooms and comfortable sofas and beds."
Loved the hot tub. Great location for visiting Lincoln, Woodhall Spa, Horncastle with its many antique shops. Will definitely book to go again.
-

"Really comfortable stay."
Lovely comfy beds & great facilities. Surprised not to find a cafetier... ( only thing I missed). Lovely bonus for me was being near to horses!. Hosts very friendly. Nice walk around the fields & footpaths & great for travelling to both the coast and Lincoln.
Glad you had a lovely stay with us, Carol. Hope to see you again soon :) Property Owner

"We had a lovely time at Millcott."
Cottage was lovely and well presented. Owner was very pleasant and sorted out a few issues we had promptly. Only drawback was the proximity of the road, which was only a few feet from my bedroom windows. So took a while to get to sleep. Beds were very comfortable so once asleep slept well.
Thanks, Pauline - I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us at Millcott. Property Owner

"We enjoyed 3 nights at Millcott."
The cottage was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and very comfortable. The garden is private and peaceful. No doubt the hot tub would be great but we did not use it. Thank you for the thoughtful welcome pack. That was a nice surprise. Millcott was ideally situated for us to visit family in the area, and easy to find. Our only slight concern was that the road noise disturbed my husband, who is a very light sleeper. I didn't notice it! I highly recommend this cottage.
Thank you for your kind words. Please do consider staying with us again when you're next in the area :) Property Owner

"From the first moment we stepped into the cottage we all felt at home and at ease."
It is tastefully decorated and furnished throughout. Alison had left us a very generous welcome pack, very thoughtful lady. Everything you would need in the kitchen was on hand .The garden was fenced off so we knew our dog would be safe and happy. Our short break was based on us being able to relax and be comfortable see the local area and walk our dog, millcott ticked all our boxes and more. Lovely comfortable living space, spacious bedrooms and most importantly super clean very comfortable mattresses. There are tracks at the side of the cottage for walking which go on for miles, hardly see anyone, just enjoy the views and the peacefulness of the lincolnshire countryside. After a long walk relax in the family sized hot tub, listening to the birds by day and looking up to the stars by night. A truly memorable short break . There's also a lovely friendly pub up the road called the royal oak, the sunday dinner is amazing, the staff couldn't do enough for us. Definately recommend a visit. All in all our stay at millcott was relaxing and very enjoyable we couldnt fault a thing, we will definately be booking again.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed your stay! :) Property Owner

The cottage is very well laid out and comfortable. Excellent facilities. We felt at home immediately, as did our dogs, who loved the garden too. It is very well placed to explore Lincoln and the surrounding area. We would definitely visit again.

"Wonderful stay at a wonderful property in a tranquil setting."
Alison was very welcoming and helpful if needed, but also left us in peace to enjoy our stay. Lovely welcome pack, and all the facilities we needed, everything to a high standard. It was great to be able to walk straight into the hot tub from the conservatory, and we made sure we made the most of it! Highly recommended. Thanks Glenn & Steph
Thank you both for the lovely review. I'm really glad you had a lovely stay! Property Owner

"We have just spent a lovely week in this very comfortable property."
A great location with numerous walks on the door step. The property was very clean and contained everything needed for a home away from home. The owner Alison, introduced herself to ensure we had everything we needed. We have no hesitation recommending this property.

"We were greeted with a good quality welcome pack of goodies on arrival."
The cottage is lovely and spacious and ideal for 2 couples with the large ensuite bathrooms. The lounge is a great size with the rise and fall chair an excellent extra if someone has problems getting up and down out of a chair. The dining room in the conservatory has a lovely big table and chairs. The kitchen is well equipped with the dishwasher and washing machine and cooking facilities. It's a lovely area to stay, the local pub served excellent food and helpful staff and were extremely dog friendly. Alison the owner of the cottage was available and very helpful if we needed anything.

"Had a lovely stay in this delightful cottage."
All basic requirements were available and the hot tub was the added bonus! Set in the countryside and central to visiting many attractions and gorgeous walks. Bus timetable to Lincoln was good with the bus stop only 10 mins walk from cottage. Good food available in local pubs and can highly recommend Maharaaj in Metheringham, which we had delivered. Alison is lovely and only too helpful in making your stay enjoyable. Definitely will stay here again.

"Lovely property, we enjoyed our week."
Really felt like home from home
-
"Property was very nice and comfortable."
Thanks for the lovely welcome pack.However the real big issue was the lack of hot water in bathrooms.only Luke warm water and not possible to shower,which was inconvenient.This must be addressed for further holiday makers.Other wise we had a nice stay.

"Millcott exceeded our expectations in every way, the write up does not do it justice."
Lovely location with secure access and great allocated parking. A very rare find, this property is completely accessible, all on one level, super comfortable beds, spacious en-suites to both bedrooms, and all bedding really good quality. Every room equipped to a really good standard, garden completely secure for the dog too. Alison, completely on hand if anything needed and a delight to deal with. Incredible value for money, we will definitely return.

"Loved Millcott but as oldies found the information provided to be confusing."
Never used a keycase before and had to ask for assistance, so we got off to a bad start. The Wifi would not connect for any of our party, the hot tub registererd 43 degrees and was unusable. The shower worked on the first full day, but could only get cold water after that, was it another instruction we did not follow?. The owner was around but always very busy and not particularly friendly. We all felt a bit intimidated by her and did not report any problems, so the problem became ours. I am not attaching blame to Alison. It was our first holiday in over 10 years so disappointed in myself for not being brave enough to contact her. We had a lovely break in a beautiful area, and apart from these niggles, we were happy.
Hi Melvyn, very sorry to hear you had issues during your stay a Millcott, but glad you had a lovely break nonetheless. Disheartening to read your review as I put my heart and soul into making sure all guests have an enjoyable stay. I always ask that people come to me with any issues they might have no matter how small - so that they can be addresssed promptly. I love chatting with guests when I get chance offering them suggestions for places to visit and walks to explore. I can only apologise you didn't feel comfortable enough to raise any queries you had so the these could have been resolved for you. We have a second hot tub on the property that you were more that welcome to use had I known there was an issue. if you would like to stay with us again please do not hesitate to contact me. Many thanks Alison Property Owner

"Wonderful place for a relaxed holiday."
Superb bungalow that is fully equipped and in excellent order. Alison the is the perfect owner, available if required but never intrusive . Lovely garden which overlooks the stables and paddocks , provides a relaxing base which is perfect for exploring the delights of this beautiful county. We would highly recommend spending some of your mornings at the nearby RAF bases at Waddington and Coningsby. Where you can watch close up the Red Arrows and Typhoon jets do their thing. The Royal Oak in the village provides excellent food and a relaxing place for an evening pint. We already are planning our return 5 stars from us
Hi just wanted to say glad you enjoyed your holiday here at Millcott and look forward to welcoming you on your return. Thank you so much for your kind words. Alison Property Owner

"We had a fantastic stay, Alison the owner was extremely helpful, she kindly supplied us with a Sun lounger as they weather was so glorious and helped us find an emergency dentist when one of our group had toothache."
The accommodation was perfect, comfy sofas, equally comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. Would highly recommend this property.

"We returned to Millcott again last week for our third stay in this lovely property."
As on our previous visits we found the property on arrival to be spotlessly clean and very well equipped with the complimentary basket of goodies provided by the host Alison proving a real treat. She also gave my daughter an Easter Egg which was such a nice thought. As always we had a great time in a perfectly located property and will definitely be returning again very soon.

"Hugely disappointing on many levels."
Cannot understand how this property has a 4 tick rating. The £50 refund we received seemed inadequate for the many issues we had to raise.
I am so sorry that you didn't enjoy your stay at Millcott, I am extremely proud of my 4.7 star rating which isn't rated by myself, but generated from the positive reviews from guests. I now understand there were a few issues at the property during your stay, if only you had highlighted these, then I would have addressed them immediately, sadly you contacted Sykes after your departure. I always welcome any feedback, both negative and positive to ensure my guests have the most enjoyable stay here at Millcott. Property Owner

"Enjoyed our week in this lovely spacious cottage with a very friendly cat that visits regularly!"
Close to lots of walks and local villages worth exploring. Nice day out in Lincoln,caught the bus from the village. Scopwick is a very pretty village with a nice pub at the side of the beck. It has a wonderful Greek menu. Also excellent fish and chips at Barrier Reef in Metheringham. An area worth visiting. Many thanks
-
"We had a lovely stay in Milcott for 5 days - comfortable and spacious for 2 couples."
Warm, clean and well equipped - everything needed for a holiday. Sitting in a hot tub at the end of a day out was an added treat. Alison was friendly and on hand for any queries. Thank you for the groceries too!
-

"We returned to Millcott again last week having stayed there in April last year and had such an enjoyable stay."
The property was clean and tidy and there were a few additions both internally and externally (Hot Tub) from our last visit. This property is perfectly located to get to some nice locations nearby. We will definitely be returning again. Richard , Lindsay , Megan and Gracie the dog.

"Millcott was a lovely place to stay, and Alison is a great host and nothing was too much trouble, especially when providing the rise and recline chair for my dad."
The place was clean and spacious. And the hot tub was a real bonus. Thanks Alison.

"Beautiful and very comfortable cottage."
Really enjoyed our stay.

"Great stay at Millcott."
Everything well presented and spotless! Alison was a perfect host who despite a broken foot was always cheery and welcoming. The garden was plenty big enough and fully enclosed for our two medium sized dogs to charge around in. Wi-Fi was great, but also games and a good selection of books are provided. The welcome pack was full of local delicious goodies that were great fully received! The new installed upgraded hot tub sadly was awaiting the electrician but Alison offered us the use of hers. Millcott is situated in gorgeous countryside but within walking distance to the local pub which also serves food. There are plenty of great walks directly from the door which Alison can point you in the right direction. We certainly wouldn’t hesitate to stay again or recommend Millcott. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

"Could not fault the efforts made by Alison who clearly goes the extra mile to ensure her clients holiday is a good and enjoyable experience."
The quality of the furnishings is to a very high standard however personally I would add a single rise recline chair suitable for the elderly or infirm to have a snooze in and I would provide some dedicated cushions for the dining chairs as we used those from the lounge and were worried about spoiling them.
-
"The owner was very nice and helpful but the WiFi didn't work, the TV signal was not good it was also said that their was sky TV but their wasn't and the lazy spa had a hole in it."
Many thanks for your comments, it is always good to receive feedback both positive and negative. Sadly there was an issue in the area with the internet, which was a severed cable, which thankfully has now been resolved . Regarding the Lay Z Spa, there obviously was an issue, which I have now addressed and awaiting delivery of a hot tub. I hope this hasn't affected your visit to Lincolnshire and I hope you would return Many thanks Alison Property Owner

"Lovely relaxing stay clean comfortable and well equipped - definitely return"

"The property has been furnished to a high standard (eg, Miele and Bosch kitchen appliances) and tastefully decorated."
It is spacious, very light, with two generous bedrooms, both en-suite (the large shower was particularly appreciated). The garden is pleasant with sturdy dining furniture, a delightful place for an evening G & T. We have been to many cottages in France and England, and this ranks among the best. Highly recommended.
-
"Beautiful bungalow with every need catered for."
Alison the owner is lovely and makes you feel very welcome and can’t do enough for you. We used the park and ride from Waitrose into Lincoln which takes right up to the cathedral and castle, plus it’s free if you have a bus pass. Would stay here again if in the area .

"We stayed at Millcott for 6 nights."
The property was spacious , clean and had everything we needed. The owner lived in the adjoining property and was very hospitable. There was a lovely hamper to greet us on our arrival full of goodies and essentials and there was even treats for our dog. A very nice touch. The property is conveniently located with Woodhall Spa , Lincoln , Belton House and various seaside resorts in close proximity. The local pub called the Royal Oak was exceptional and highly recommended especially the Sunday Roast and the Greek culinary. We I definitely be returning to this property.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback, also for being the perfect guests, look forward to seeing you again soon. Property Owner

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Millcott and found the location perfect for visiting friends in Lincoln and Sleaford."
It would be perfect for anyone attending a graduation at RAF Cranwell too. A very comfortable cottage with cosy tasteful home furnishings; deceptively spacious. The owner was on hand when we had a query, dealt with it very quickly and to our satisfaction. New to the self-catering business we wish Millcott all the best for the future.
