  • "This holiday cottage is excellent."

    Great location for a variety of walks and easy to get to Lincoln centre, the Cathedral, bomber command and Doddington Hall to name a few. Great for cycling too. The cottage itself is very comfortable and really clean. Maintained to a high standard with really good quality furnishings. Yes the owner lives next door but you wouldn't know it. Jane leaves you to get on with your holiday but on hand if you need anything. I was a bit reluctant to leave feedback but only because I don't want loads of people going there and stopping me being able to re-book!!

    Adequately equipped, we wanted for nothing, and a magic fairy even restocked the log shed overnight. Close enough to Lincoln for a trip, but equally tucked down a county lane for peace and the country feel. A bike ride to Donnington Hall was just one of our adventures. So much to do in the area, with pubs and supermarkets close by.

  • "Absolutely beautiful, superb, high quality property in an incredibly peaceful and lush corner of the countryside."

    This was a family/friends stay for a milestone birthday and each of us agreed it was the loveliest and most perfect holiday home we had ever stayed in. The rooms are tastefully decorated and every last detail has been considered. Take binoculars as you'll spot lots of birds on the lawn. The wonderful design of the house allows maximum to enter and we enjoyed sunshine in the mornings on the balcony then in the private garden area in the afternoon. Although there are plenty of attractions close by (Brunsby equine charity a particular hit) but we found the house was so perfectly suited to our needs, we were loathe to wander too far (even the 7 and 11 year old preferred to stay there!) Host Jane is amazing - generous, thoughtful, friendly and extremely accommodating. A place we wish to return to again and again and will live long in our memories. A real oasis of calm - and astonishingly, the photo's do not do it justice - thank you Jane for a truly lovely week.

    Lovely location down quiet lane surrounded by countryside. Walks from the door. Everything you need in the property. Beds really comfortable, kitchen fully equipped. Our young dog enjoyed the gardens and the property is dog friendly. Was able to close all doors to the hallway at night so she couldn’t roam the downstairs without supervision and the stair gate would have stopped a dog from going upstairs (ours does not go upstairs at all) The time went too quick. Would fully recommend. Many thanks to Jane who answered any queries we had. The electronic booklet about the property prior to our holiday was extremely useful.

    The owners send a digital information pack out beforehand which is really good and very useful. It is only 5 miles outside of Lincoln but in really nice peaceful countryside. Our dog loved playing in the gardens (enclosed smaller rear and open front). Dogs are not allowed upstairs (ours usually sleeps upstairs at home), but he settled well and wasn’t a problem. The owner (who lives next door) was very responsive if needed but otherwise after the initial meet and greet left us to enjoy our time. Apart from visiting Lincoln, we mostly visited National Trust properties. We drove to Sandilands beach one day which was just over an hour away.

  • "From the moment we arrived I was impressed with Broadleaf Lodge."

    It was immaculately presented and spotlessly clean. Although 5 adults, a baby and 2 dogs were staying the week we never felt on top of each other. When we wanted to spend time together we could, but there was also enough space for people to enjoy some quiet time alone if they wished. The conservatory was a great hiding spot for those wishing to read in peace and also handy for hiding our little girls birthday presents in until her celebration at the end of the week! The dogs enjoyed the freedom of the garden, paddock and whole downstairs and settled well sleeping in the utility (even though they are both bed dogs at home!). There were even toys and books for the little one so we would have managed easily without bringing our own. The log fire was cosy, the kitchen well equipped and the beds comfy. The addition of two beautifully appointed bathrooms was the icing on the cake. Even though the house is situated away from the village, it is an easy walk or drive to the shop with post office and pharmacy and a good deal of other amenities and attractions are within easy reach. One day a few of us went to Lincoln which was a short drive to the park and ride at Waitrose then a 10 minute bus ride to the cathedral. Another day we tried Doddington Hall which has lovely walks and shops even though the hall and gardens were closed. Jane was a lovely host, greeted me on arrival then left us to it, but always responded quickly to messages on the odd occasion we needed anything. After leaving we gave some feedback which she has taken graciously on board and fully seen from a guests perspective. We genuinely didn't want to leave and will definitely try and return in future to enjoy this beautiful house. 5 stars all day long!

  • "The property is beautiful in a very secluded position near woods, ideal for walking."

    Lincoln is easily accessed using the park and ride facility at Waitrose near Nettleham. Skellingthorpe is a short drive from the property.

  • "We have just returned from a week holiday at Broadleaf House."

    We were greeted on arrival by Jane the owner who showed us around the property, ensured we had her contact details should we need anything, and left us to enjoy our stay. What a wonderful place! The house itself is large and comfy with plenty of space for everyone. It is immaculately clean and very well equipped including plenty of games, books and dvds to keep everyone occupied. The house is in a beautiful location, set on a quiet lane with farmland to the front and rear with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. We would highly recommend, in fact we didn't want to leave!!

  • "This is a very large property down a country lane which was easy to find due to the owners very good directions."

    The furnishings were comfortable and there was adequate seating, the small snug room is particularly nice and we spent our time in the house in there, the larger room with the log burner would be great for a large family but was too big for us. The only downside was the lack of any useable welcome pack, there was tea, coffee and about a teaspoon full of sugar but no milk, therefore if you are waiting for shopping to be delivered it can be a long wait. On the plus side the fire was lit when we arrived and the house was nice and warm.

  • "Broadleaf House is an exceptionally spacious, modern holiday home, which would particularly suit a family or group of friends wanting to get together."

    There is plenty of space outside for children to play safely and ample parking space for a number of vehicles. The two sitting rooms and conservatory offer great opportunities for family members to spread out. The woodland location provides a peaceful retreat, yet there are shops and pubs nearby. The historic part of Lincoln with its superb cathedral, castle and many attractive shops, cafés and pubs is only a short drive or taxi ride away. Sherwood Forest, Southwell Minster and numerous other attractions are within easy reach. Very highly recommended and great value for money. I have already booked a second visit.

  • "Provided us with excellent accommodation for our extended family."

    Separate bedrooms and especially separate bathrooms, and three toilets all appreciated. Boys liked the ability to play football etc and he gardens were safe and nice for the toddler grandson. Inside lots of space to play board games etc on wet days or just watch TV or dvd's. It gave us an opportunity to discover Lincoln ( lots of varied places of interest) and places around the area, e.g. Wisby, Doddngton, Newark and even as far as Skegness. Also nice to discover the woodland further along the Old North Wood area. A very full and enjoyable week and nice at the end of each busy day to return to our 'home from home'. Certainly a great place for families in an area not often visited.

  • "Broadleaf Lodge was a beautiful house and the owner Jane made us feel very welcome."

    She greeted us and showed us around the house then left us to get on with enjoying our holiday. We knew if we needed anything we only needed to give Jane a text. The location was ideal being only 4.5 miles from Lincoln, which is well worth a visit. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. It's only a short walk to the village shop and also the woodland walks. Hull is only an hour away where The Deep is well worth a visit. All in all a great house, good location and very friendly owner.

  • "We were greeted on arrival by Jane, the owner, who lives next door and were given a brief tour of the property."

    The home was spotless and well furnished, bed linen and towels are 5* hotel standard. There was the welcome addition of a freestanding fridge freezer in the utility room which was a bonus as the only other fridge is under counter in the kitchen (this new fridge freezer was not listed in the Sykes literature). The back garden is compact and overlooks a small industrial area, which can also be seen from the bedroom windows. However noise is minimal and did not detract from our stay. Location is excellent for city centre, local attractions and, of course, Daisy Made ice cream. Jane and her partner were so warm and welcoming, they waved every time they saw us. Jane even managed to get us a fan for the bedroom as it was so hot! Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable week, we will definitely be returning.
