"The bungalow is modern with all appliances you want/need."
When we arrived we received a text welcoming us and asking if we needed any help/information. We asked about beach dog walks with either a cafe or pub so father in law could stay warm while we walked the dog. We were given lots of Information and used it . The info pack at the cottage was well planned and presented We would recommend this cottage as a good base to explore Lincolnshire
Thank you for your lovely review,we’re glad you all got to enjoy a day out on the lovely Lincolnshire coast Property Owner

"What more can we say about Dawn and Pete."
A lovely friendly couple. Starfield is one of the best bungalows on the books. This is our 4th visit with another one booked and more to follow next year. Sorry Dawn & Pete, you're not getting rid of us any time soon. Very handy for National Trust properties such as Clumber Park, Belton House, Tattershall Castle and of course RAF bases for those of us who proudly served.
Thank you both so much, it’s always a great pleasure to welcome you back. Property Owner

"My wife and I had a lovely week at Starfield."
The key access info was spot-on and when we entered we were really impressed by how spacious the bungalow is, especially the lounge area. The property was spotlessly clean and contained everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended.
Hi Robert. Thank you both for your lovely review, we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay with us at Starfield. Cheers Dawn and Pete Property Owner

"Just spent a week at Starfield."
Lovely bungalow. Very well equipped. One of the best we have stayed in. The garden was very secure for our dog. Very happy with our stay.
Hi Helen, thank you so much for the lovely review, we’re so glad you all had a lovely holiday. Property Owner

"We had a lovely week at this bungalow."
It was really spacious and more than exceeded our expectations. The secure enclosed garden was a bonus for our dog. We will hopefully be back. A bonus of supplies including treats for the dog were really appreciated. Thank you.

"The property is exactly like the photos."
It's incredibly comfortable, spacious and in a peaceful and quiet location, situated very handy for visiting local attractions. It's worth mentioning that there's an iron and ironing board and lots of games to play! Dawn and Pete, who own the property, live nearby and nothing is a bother for them. I had the unfortunate experience of my car breaking down mid stay. The RAC recovered it to a local garage. This meant we missed our 10am departure time by 1 1/2 hours. I kept them informed and they let us stay and cleaned around us (next holiday makers due by 4pm!) And Pete even gave me a lift to the garage to collect my car. Above and beyond! The back garden is a proper sun trap and we had fantastic weather all week. It is completely enclosed and we loved being able to let our little dog out without worrying he could escape! The beds are really compfy and the whole house has everything you need and more to make you feel right at home. Will definitely return.
Thank you for the lovely review Sandra, we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay, and that you got safely home after those car problems. Property Owner

"This is our 2nd visit to Starfield and it is a home from home to share with multi generational members of the family, which is why it's ideal for us, complete with the dog!"
Even though we don't live far away, the surrounding area is full of walks and nature parks, only 10-15mins drive up/down the A46. The owners, Dawn and Pete are lovely, keeping in contact without being intrusive. A lovely welcome pack was appreciated. We would highly recommend this accommodation. We discovered a lovely walk to the Pyewipe Inn from the doorstep this year-took half an hour and we spent time watching the boats pass on the canal-ideal for a lunch and drink stop.
Hi Sabra and family, we are so happy when we have return guests, and we really appreciate your lovely comments. Thank you Dawn & Pete Property Owner
-
"Property and facilities excellent."
Skellingthorpe is a good base for visiting Lincoln and surrounds.
Thank you for that lovely message D&P Property Owner

We’d love to see you again! Thank you D&P Property Owner

"What can I say about Starfield that I haven't already said."
Spacious property, well equipped with all the comforts of home in a peaceful location. We have just had our third stay with two more booked into next year. Dawn and Pete are a lovely couple and will always be on hand to help if needed.
Thank you so much John and Michelle, it’s always a pleasure to welcome you back. Property Owner
-
"Well equipped clean and comfortable cottage."
Fantastic welcome pack. Beautiful spacious private garden. By far the best Sykes cottage we have stayed in.
Thank you for that wonderful review, we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay D&P x Property Owner

"Owners friendly and helpful came straight away to fix an extension lead so we could plug in a nightlight near the bathroom."
For those with limited mobility if you find the few steps to the front door tricky we used the side gate and came in through the bifold doors. Mum has a stroller plenty of room inside to get around. Daisy maid cafe in village for your ice cream fix and co-op open until 10pm for your essentials. Thanks for the welcome pack greatly appreciated a cup of tea after the journey.
-
"The bungalow suited all the family (from 23 yrs old to 81) plus 12 year old westie."
There is everything you need and the welcome treats were appreciated. It is in a great location to explore Lincoln and the surrounding areas. Dawn gave us some great tips and we were lucky enough with the weather to enjoy a good walk on Mablethorpe beach, Hartsholme country park and Whisby Nature park. The Plough pub was closed when we got there, but we had a good meal at The Windmill..not too far away. Daisy made ice cream cafe is also very near to Starfield which is well worth visiting. Overall Starfield (and of course Dawn and Pete)provided us with a great base for a lovely family break and hopefully we'll be back..
-
"An excellent base for exploring the area."
A warm welcome when you arrive.
-
"An excellent property, one that we hope to return to again."
It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Local shops (co-op) within walking distance and other supermarkets just a short drive. Getting to and from Lincoln was quick and straightforward and there were some great walks a step from the front door. Highly recommended (but not too highly, we don't want too many people competing against us to rent Skyview
-
"We are nearly through our second week here at Starfield, we came for two weeks last year, and we have just booked two weeks for 2025, as well will be here in November, that says it all how we love the cottage and the hosts, they are on hand if needed and give advice on local interests."
The home is warm, well maintained and has everything you need to be comfortable, Looking forward to November stay, and this holiday not over yet, so enough time commending and get on enjoying this week. Irene

"We spent 6 weeks at Starfield due to building work at our property."
The bungalow had everything you could wish for, the kitchen was very well equipped. Dawn and Pete kept in contact with us throughout. As we were self sufficient throughout our stay they left us with enough linen etc to keep us going throughout our time there. It wasn’t home but it was the next best thing. Would recommend for a long stay as well as a short holiday. Thank you Dawn and Pete
-

Owners were great and were really helpful.
-
"Starfield is a very comfortable bungalow and a lot more spacious than you might imagine."
The house is warm and homely and the garden is neat, tidy and very secure for a dog to enjoy. Communication with the owner is excellent and they have a wealth of knowledge about the area for things to see and do. Lincoln is a very attractive smaller city and it is well worth the climb up Steep Hill to see the Cathedral. Thank you for such a comfortable stay.
-
"Lovely property."
It had everything we needed for a week's very comfortable stay. Weather was warm, particularly at the start of our break, so we made good use of the bi-fold doors and the garden. Plenty of space for us (couple). Everything was clean and decorated to a high standard. Hosts were welcoming and responsive when we needed help with something. A great base for our holiday in Lincolnshire.
-
"Dawn and Pete went above and beyond to ensure our stay was a smooth experience."
A third stay is assured.
-
"The property was clean, well maintained and very comfortable."
It was well equipped and the hosts were very helpful. It was only 3 miles from Lincoln .There was a Coop just a few minutes walk away and a local pub serving food. Would definitely recommend it and holiday there again.

"Starfield is a beautiful home which is extremely well equipped."
Clean and comfortable, with a brilliant living room, a very pleasant garden, and situated in a lovely quiet area. When I contacted the owners to ask them something, and they were very friendly and helpful.

"This was our 4th stay at Starfield."
We come back because it is a great property in a lovely location and the owners, Dawn and Pete, couldn't be more helpful
-
"As with our previous stay this is a real home from home for us."
All spotlessly clean and well decorated/furnished. We settled straight in and got down to relaxing and enjoying our holiday. Very easy to get around and lots of nearby attractions to visit. Enjoyed days out at Bransby Horse Rescue, International Bomber Command, Lincoln, Belton House and more. Thank you again and hope to see you soon.
-
"Wonderful stay and lovely place."
Thank you
-
"What a lovely bungalow this is."
Very comfortable, very well equipped and a very thoughtful welcome package from Dawn. An enclosed rear garden is ideal to sit in any time of the day. If, like me, you have a connection to the RAF then this property is ideal for visiting the numerous former and still active RAF Stations. There are also quite a few National Trust properties within an easy drive. We highly recommend Starfield, a real home from home, and we are already planning our next visit. Dawn is a very nice lady who cares about her property and the visitors it gets. All in all a delightful stay. Thank you Dawn.
-
"The house was perfect for us."
Very clean, tidy and well furnished. A great base to explore Lincolnshire. We appreciated the welcome goodies! We would happily return to this property, or recommend to anyone else. Thank you.
-
"We have been to many holiday homes previously and have never been to a single one that has been better in any way."
We enjoyed our time there and would certainly recommend it to anyone. Thank you for everything.
-
"We had a great week in Skellingthorpe."
The house is fine. We found everything as described and as shown in the pictures. Everything was clean, tidy and there was even a welcome surprise. We traveled a lot and therefore never met the landlords in person. In the meantime, however, they emailed us to ask if everything was ok, if we needed anything and wished us a safe journey back. We are really very satisfied and can recommend Starfield unreservedly.
-
"The property was absolutely fantastic spotlessly clean,well equipped."
It is tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac in a lovely village. I took my dog and there was everything there he needed (dog bowls) they even left a bag of treats for him, plenty of lovely walks from the bungalow. We will be back.
-

Irene

"We stayed for a week in February with our dog."
Cottage was spotless and had everything you would need, even spare dogs bowls and blanket if you forgot yours. Location was great for walking the dog and only a 10 minute drive into Lincoln to visit our daughter at university. Enclosed garden was also great for our dog. Would definitely stay here again when visiting.

"Starfield is very worthy of its 5 star rating."
It is beautifuly clean, spacious and kitted out perfectly. The owners have supplied all the creature comforts you need, they consideratley kept in touch to make sure we were all ok. On arriving it was very thoughtful to recieve some goodies to eat and drink, including some dog treats. Starfield is well situated with a Coop store a few minutes walk and a 15 minute drive to Lincoln. There are many walks from the doorstep for those with dogs, and for those who are more adventerous you can walk or cycle to Lincoln and back along a well kept pathway, there and back in around 10 miles. There are lots of local attractions near by, within 20 minutes drive. We had a great week and would highly recommend Starfields. Thank you. Michael & Family

The bungalow was spotless and very well equipped.
-
"This was a true home from home."
Felt homely and familiar as soon as we stepped in through the door. Everything we needed for a really comfortable week. It also meant we could get down to relaxing straight away. Very central location for many days out. Within easy reach of Mabelthorpe for the beach and Sheffield for shopping. Lincoln is right on the doorstep and such a beautiful city. Daisy made is a must for ice cream and fabulous local pub. Dog friendly home with all the basics already in place. Loved the apples :-) We will most certainly be back !
-
"Many thanks to Dawn and Pete for the thoughtful touches throughout the property, as well as the many "objets" displayed."
My grand daughters were fascinated by the antique travel typewriter. We enjoyed our stay and were blessed with lovely weather. Margaret Kaye

"A beautiful modern property in a fantastic location."
The property is well maintained & very clean with everything supplied from bedding, kitchen utensils, garden furniture to maps, guides and recommended attractions/pubs/restaurants to make your holiday stress free. Our family holiday visiting our favourite place (Lincolnshire) was extra comfortable & relaxing staying in this property. We will certainly return again soon and definitely recommend this property to family & friends.
-
"Starfield is a lovely property located in a quiet village."
The hosts were very helpful and kind. The property is generously sized and close to the nearby pubs. I would 100% recommend a visit here.
-
"Starfield is in a nice quiet location it's like being home from home, it's nicely furnished and the kitchen has everything you need, Dawn & Pete have really gone the extra mile to make this a good holiday home."
The local pub serves a good Sunday lunch and smiths fish and chips shop in Saxilby is definitely worth a visit nice big portions & very cheap. I highly recommend staying at starfield and will definitely be coming back again.

"We had a brilliant stay."
Couldn't wish for a better cottage so welcoming. Dawn and Pete quick to rectify any dilemmas we had. Thank you Dawn and Pete for everything thing and the special touches.
-
"Lovely property in great location."
The owners, Dawn and Pete, make every effort to ensure a relaxing stay. We keep coming back and all the family look forward to it every year. There are little touches and improvements each time
-
"Quiet lane location."
(Actually, the whole village is quiet.) Great, spacious bungalow with a large and secure garden for dogs. Very friendly owner.
-
"I had a very enjoyable holiday with my small dog Teddie."
The property is in a quiet area, away from the road, which leads to a pathway next to a field of sheep and lambs. There is also a lovely garden, perfect for relaxation. For people who like walking Starfield is in a good position as as there are walks in both directions. It is near to a shop with post office facilities and pharmacy, and for public transport users, there is an hourly bus service to Hartsholme Country Park and Lincoln bus station (which is opposite the train station). The property had everything I needed for a weeks stay and Dawn messaged me throughout my stay to check that everything was ok. I enjoyed my stay and hope to return later in the year. The woodland walks were beautiful, full of carpets of bluebells and white wood anemones. Very peaceful.
-
"Starfield is spacious, comfortable and very clean, the hosts have thought of everything you might need."
Lovely enclosed garden and super walks direct from the cottage. We hope to return.
-
"Excellent holiday home from home."
Comfortable, spacious, very well equipped and tasteful decor. Enjoyed a great week in the local area with variable weather. Many thanks to the lovely hosts.
-
"The property was clean, comfortable and very homely."
The owners were also very friendly and helpful. Ideally, blinds or curtains in the kitchen and lounge would have enhanced its homely feel though I accept this is a personal preference as the property is not overlooked.
-
"We had a lovely stay in Starfield."
The house was so comfortable, very well equipped, clean and warm. Dawn & Peter were so helpful - communication was excellent, as was the welcome gift (wine, milk, biscuits, snacks (and for the dog), tea, etc. The enclosed private garden was lovely, I am sure it is even better in the spring and summer!! Close proximity to the Sustrans network was a real bonus. Thank you Dawn and Peter.
-
"Dawn has been a super star."
Sadly, never met but on hand for any queries. Super property and location. Definitely will be returning. Useful info: Peter K Taxi if needed!
-
"Very comfortable and well equipped property."
We arrived on a cold winters day to a lovely warm bungalow and the owners had decorated the lounge ready for our early family Christmas . It's ideal for 6 adults as the single beds are full size . Garden very safe for dogs too. Within easy reach of Lincoln
-

Many thanks for a great week.

"Bungalow was excellent for our needs."
Everything was there that we needed. The dog bowls, towels and treats were very useful. Garden was delightful and everything you would need. Dawn and Pete were helpful very covid safe. Was sad to leave at end of our holiday.
-
"A lovely bungalow in a quiet location."
Fully enclosed garden so brilliant for the dog. Very comfortable and fully equipped bungalow, definitely a home from home. Owners kept in touch making sure everything was as expected. Co-op and pubs close by. Enjoyed our stay.
-
"Beautiful bungalow, extremely comfortable."
Everything was as we expected it to be. The garden was great, fenced in so the dog could not escape! The owners had left a chilled bottle of wine and crisps for our arrival plus treats for the dog. We had a very relaxing holiday
-
"Super quiet place to stay and relax, well furnished and comfortable."
Pete and Dawn the owners are the perfect hosts. We even had a display from the Red Arrows the day before we left, as they are based not too far away. A fantastic place with ever thing you need and more. We highly recommend a holiday here, we will certainly be booking again some time in the future.
-
"Lovely little bungalow ideally situated close to Lincoln and surrounding areas."
Spacious living quarters and well equipped.
-
"Excellent accommodation, highly recommended."
Very safe property with an enclosed back garden so our grand-daughter could run around to her hearts content. The owners are very helpful, nothing was to much trouble. Even though they were on their holiday they were on the end of the phone and helped us when we broke down on the way there and had to be recovered. Hope to go back there again.
-
"Fantastic well equipped bungalow."
And with a welcome pack to greet us! Email & visit from owners to make sure everything was ok. Excellent holiday. Apart from the weather which could have been better!!
-
"Starfield is a fantastic family home in a peaceful little village."
It's only a 10-15 drive away from Lincoln City centre with its many restaurants, bars and shopping facilities. The owners were very welcoming and were on hand to help out in any way possible. I would highly recommend this beautiful home for a family get away. Five stars in my opinion!
-
"Brilliant stay Spacious bungalow with all modern appliances Beds very ..."
Brilliant stay Spacious bungalow with all modern appliances Beds very comfortable and very nice hot shower with very good water pressure Very clean with large sunny garden Great central location to all the major antiques fairs in the area ( Newark, Lincoln, Doncaster, Hemswell, Horncastle) Very good directions to bungalow Welcome pack with milk, wine and some crisps much appreciated Owners very helpful Added bonus village has 2 pubs/inns for food both in walking distance, Coop and post office Hope to stay again on next visit to area
-
"Pete and Dawn have obviously put a lot of thought and effort into making Starfield a very comfortable, excellently-equipped and clean holiday home with a pretty garden."
It is almost perfect. The "icing on the cake" would be some curtains/blinds in the lounge and kitchen. Not that they are needed for privacy but as protection from the intense glare of the afternoon sun. These rooms face south and west and, even for us in late September, this could be quite intrusive (yes - we did have some lovely weather!). It would also be nice to be able to cover the windows after dark. We greatly appreciated the welcome "goodies" and Pete responded immediately to a problem that we had. Skellingthorpe is a very convenient base for visiting Lincoln and the surrounding areas. Many places of interest were open in spite of the Covid restrictions, most needing pre-booking, and we always managed to find a cafe/pub to get a snack or a meal. A thoroughly enjoyable holiday!
-
"A week away with our bubble."
Starfield was a great place to share with the family, a real home from home. The kitchen was particularly well equipped which was a blessing as eating out is currently tricky. Fabulous airy and spacious lounge area with bi-folds onto safe patio/garden area which was a great space for us to relax and toddler to play. Well positioned to visit Lincoln and explore the county. Thanks to September sunshine we had a lovely week out and about and then back at our holiday base. Dawn is a perfect hostess, thoughtful, available and yet unobtrusive, thank you!
-
"A very comfortable stay with all the touches of home."
-
"We had a fantastic stay at Starfield - it was spotless, beautifully presented and fully equipped with everything we needed."
We have a 3 year old and a 5 year old and both the house and lovely (and secure) garden worked really well for small children. We loved visiting Lincolnshire and when we no doubt return we will definitely be booking Starfield again. It's the perfect home from home!
-
"It was like a home from home, everything was there."
Fully equipped kitchen, even down to kitchen roll and foil. We really enjoyed our stay, the owners kept in touch to make sure everything was going well, will definitely be returning.
-
"Great location and comfort."
Lots of information on the area and how to use facilities in the house. Very kind owner who checked we were happy with everything
-
"Beautiful property, with inspired interior design."
Dawn had thought of everything from homemade brownies, butter, crisps and wine on arrival to the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in!
-
"What a beautiful home in a beautiful location!"
We had a great stay at Starfields for our New Year family break and ww will definitely be staying again and recommending it to friends and family! The only one thing I will say is that the bathroom window needs to be more frosted to ensure privacy. Thank you once again.
-
"Starfield was exceptional."
Beautifully decorated for Christmas. Sparkling clean. Very, very comfortable with lots of lovely homely finishing touches. Dawn was very friendly, met us on arrival, showed us round and, when we had a very minor problem, Pete sorted it out very quickly. We would definitely recommend Starfield and will certainly check availability there next time we need to be in Lincoln.
-
"Perfect from start to finish Owners were lovely A jewel in the heart of lincoln Thank-you very much"
-
"Wonderful experience."

-
"Gorgeous house and perfect location."
-
"We had an extremely enjoyable week at Starfield."
Dawn and Pete were easily accessible for any issues and the cottage was a beautiful well equipped base for exploring Lincoln and the surrounding area. I would not hesitate to recommend Starfield, it is easily one of the best cottages we have stayed at with Sykes.
-
"Great bungalow very clean had everything you would need"
-
"Had high expectations from previous experience, it was lovely and will likely be booking this property again, always very happy with properties through sykes."
-
"Wonderful week at Starfield."
Beyond expectations. Loved the extra touches that made it extra special. Spotlessly clean and everything we could have hoped for. Dawn was very welcoming and a little very lady. The best place we have stayed in by far.
-
"We had a great holiday and loved the comfortable house and the hospitality of Dawn"
-
"Great holiday home, very spacious, with everything required."
Could quite easily live there full time, lovely decor and facilities. Enjoyed the garden for alfresco eating. Would highly recommend. Contented from Guernsey.
-
"The bungalow was spacious and clean but the owners never made an effort to see ..."
The bungalow was spacious and clean but the owners never made an effort to see us when we arrived they were away and told us they would see us on the Monday I phoned them to ask for two hand towels and they were dropted off Monday at 7 20 and that was all we saw of them all the cottages we have stayed at the owners have always greeted us to make sure everything was OK
-
"Our host was superb and Starfield was lovely."
Everything was top quality and very comfortable. We will definitely return.
-
"The Cottage had everything we needed and was nice and quiet."
Very close to Lincoln and conveniently to two nice pubs.
-
"What a lovely place to stay, a home from home in every way."
....you want for nothing. If you're staying in Lincoln, stay here !!
-
"Excellent accommodation."
Spacious, warm and very well equipped. Friendly welcome. Most importantly to us it has a totally secure garden for the dog. Good place to walk from - all flat with woods, water and the Red Arrows practising overhead. Perfect! Lincoln is a lovely historic and vibrant city and the whole county has a wide variety of landscapes to enjoy (not all flat!).
-
"The cottage was excellently equipped and the location ideal for all that we wanted."
-
"The Bungalows location was superb, the get you in coffee, scones & bottle of wine were very well received."
The food at the Stone Arms was excellent, and easy access to a park for the dog was a bonus. From the Bungalow we were well positioned for trips to Lincoln, Skegness, Sherwood Forest and several excellent Country Parks and National Trust properties. A week wasn't enough, we will be back.
-
"The owner was very welcoming."
The bungalow was warm ( important in February!), and very well equipped in the kitchen. The beds were very comfortable, and I loved the underfloor heating in the wet room. Would definitely recommend Starfield .
-
"Our booking was for Christmas week so it was important to us that everything went smoothly and that we were able to do lots of cooking and enjoy log fires."
The owners were in touch with us directly beforehand and were extremely helpful and accommodating. On arrival we were delighted that they had gone to the trouble of setting up a Christmas tree, some tasteful decorations and a few welcome edible gifts. The kitchen equipment was all of a very good standard and the beds were very comfortable. During our stay they checked that all was well and were near at hand in case of any problems. A first class experience.
-
"We loved staying in this bungalow."
The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and the lounge was spacious and had a great TV and wood burner. The lounge would have benefited from curtains/blinds. The owners were very helpful and left us some lovely treats to enjoy. Doddington Hall is a few minutes away and Lincoln was within easy reach. If we could have picked the bungalow up and taken it home, we would have!
-
"Starfield was perfect in every way."
The owners were extremely friendly and made sure you had everything you needed. Starfield is definitely a top quality facility in a beautiful area.
-
"It was a wonderful week we had there, very cosy, well designed bungalow."
Very quiet and private. Pete & Dawn were always on hand when we needed it. It was located only 5 minutes walk to my son and families home so no driving needed, ideal for us. Plenty of walking routes which we took advantage of during the Autumn season. Easy access to Lincoln town, only 15 minutes drive. Look forward to going back and relaxing in front of the log burner
-
"The holiday cottage is probably one of the best we have stayed in in 25 years."
It was clean, comfortable and very homely. Lots of nice little touches like bread, milk, chocolate cake etc and all the condiments that you have at home along with useful cleaning materials. A lovely kitchen, dining and garden room with a fantastic wood burner. We had a great holiday and only 3 miles from Lincoln which was a lovely city.

"Starfield was a lovely property and the owners were very nice, friendly and helpful and there if you needed anything."
Our dog Tim loved the totally secure garden and the treats that were left for him. We appreciated the welcome pack that was left too. There was nothing that wasn't there for you to enjoy your stay. Lovely place, lovely stay and would stay there again.

"We have stayed in other Sykes cottages and not been disappointed but Starfield was exceptional."
It was a pleasure to be able to enjoy a number of meals before we had to switch on the dishwasher as there was plenty of crockery and cutlery. There was no need to rush to the shop before being able to make a drink and settling into the cosy sofas, when we arrived. The underfloor heating was a treat. We walked into Lincoln one day and took the bus on another. There was an excellent co-op in the village and two friendly pubs, which made the trip very relaxing.

"Starfield was well above expectations."
The little touches made it, including the lovely cake on arrival. The house was clean, comfortable and there was plenty of room for 6 of us. We had sun in the back garden and were able to make use of the patio and garden furniture. Lincoln was within easy reach.

"What a fantastic holiday home."
We had a brilliant week staying at Starfield with our 2 children and my parents. We received a lovely welcome on arrival from Dawn, complete with kitchen essentials of bread and milk, plus added extras of a bottle of wine, dog treats and home made brownie, which was delicious. The property has recently been beautifully renovated and furnished, including comfortable beds and sofas. The living room is amazing especially on sunny days with the bifold doors open onto the secure garden, ideal for children and dogs. It was a real home from home being so well equipped. Starfield is set in a lovely village, close to two pubs, little supermarket and play area. It is also a great base to explore Lincolnshire and beyond. I cannot recommend highly enough.

This room is part of the fantastic extension, featuring wooden beams and a high apex ceiling.
Swing open the sliding bi-fold doors on a light summer’s evening and enjoy the fresh air, sit out on the patio in the beautiful enclosed garden, and take in the village atmosphere.
The cottage is on the National Cycle Network Sustrans route 64, which is a 3 mile safe and easy off road cycle into Lincoln centre as well as being just a one mile ride to the gorgeous cafe and gardens at Doddington Hall, with cycle hire being available.
There are two pubs to visit in the local village and just 4 miles away is the city of Lincoln, where you can enjoy all manner of attractions such as Lincoln Castle houses, The Museum of Lincolnshire Life and the Usher Gallery.
However, if it is walking trails you're looking for, the village has access to ancient woodland, a variety of wildlife and the local nature reserve in Whisby Nature Park.
There is a celebration of 100 years of RAF this year and Skellingthorpe and Lincoln has very close ties to RAF, the International Bomber Command Memorial Spire which was inaugurated this year and is only 4 miles away.
Starfield is a first-rate cottage in a spectacular position.
