• "What a lovely bungalow, I don’t think the photographs really do it justice."

  We’ve stayed in many bungalows through Sykes and I don’t think I’ve ever had such a choice of glasses for my evening drink. The kitchen itself was very well equipped and there was a handy little tray containing tea, coffee, sugar and milk which was very welcome after our journey. The settees and beds were very comfortable. The bungalow is in a very quiet location and we had a lovely restful holiday.

• "Great property."

  Had everything we wanted. Wouldnt hestitate to recommend at all. Lovely furnishings, clean and great location to viost Skegness and Mablethorpe from. Few niggles, the ensuite toilet constantly runs. On a wet rainy night it's fine as you can't hear it but considering the property is in the middle of nowhere, with the silent nights the constant dripping water is very distracting. It's been mentioned by previous occupiers also though. The property directions could be better written. Second right turn before telephone box and also would have been useful knowing the key safe is actually at the back of the house. Would have saved me a lot of time in the dark looking around with my phone trying to find a box at front of house. Otherwise the property is great for a staycation. Definitely recommend it.

• "It was a lovely, clean property."

  The property has carpets so wheelchair users would struggle, but it was disabled friendly in every other way, it could use some grab rails in the bathroom, especially over the bath. The on-suite toilet sounded like it was constantly flushing, which was odd, but it didn’t spoil the holiday. All-in-all it was a great place and we are looking to go again later this year or early next year.

• "Waverley is spacious, clean and well appointed."

  Perfect for our group of 6 adults. It was a great location for our reunion with family and friends, in a quiet village with country walks from the property. We enjoyed visits to Lincoln, Louth, Skegness, Woodhall Spa, Tattershall Castle (NT) and Alford. We had excellent meals at The Blacksmiths Arms just two minutes walk away from the bungalow and at the Railway Tavern in Aby. Lunch at the Woolpack pub in Louth was excellent too. We hope to return again in the future.

• "The bungalow is excellent and suited the three single ladies who lunched out every day."

  If a family were to stay there it might be different since we had a few problems with the cooker - mainly as there was no written instructions and the on line manual gave the instruction that the oven would not work unless the timer had been reset! If all plug sockets are turned off to save energy this would mean that the timer has to be set every day. As the heating did not come on as expected the plumber was to be called reset the timer for the radiators settings. Overall these things did not dampen our stay and Kate, the owner, was brilliant in her response to our requests.

  Only small points but mattresses need changing - not comfortable especially in the on suite room - lots of springs can be felt. Outside area which is huge but sitting out area very poor. Too small to eat outside. Table unstable and very small. In a very quiet village. Owners manual needs a good update. Most of local info is out of date and now not accurate.

• "Overall we had a wonderful time, loved the location and the property had everything we needed for the week, plenty of space for us all (family of 6)."

  Our children loved the garden and the walks in the local area. The property was spotless clean on arrival and everything provided was in working order. The pub across the road was also nice, with a good range of beers for a village pub and the food was delicious with generous food portions. We would definitely go back to however, the mattress in the master bedroom has seen better days and was very uncomfortable (spring mattress) which didn’t make for a good nights sleep. Overall we had fantastic week away but myself and wife didn’t sleep well. Great location, great property, well-kept and clean. Couldn’t have asked for anymore. But maybe a new mattress?

  Situated in the quiet village of Skendlby, in a great position for the coastline visits with the grandchildren. We really enjoyed our half term stay. The Grandchildren also loved the cottage, with nice walks in the area. Cottage had everything we needed. The local pub, Blacksmiths Arms, the food was really nice, although a bit pricey. I think we would stay again at a later date.

• "Very nice bungalow outside a small county town."

  Stayed a week and found it well equipped. Disappointing was the heating system. Seems not to be set correctly. The pleasant owner sent out plumber?, but that made no difference at all! Change your plumber! Suggestions- shower mat for en-suite. I’m disabled and shower floor dangerous without a mat. Needs to replace the backing trays and large frying pan. We all had a good stay but I would not return, more so as the drive to sharp a slope to get my VW SV down without hitting the undercarriage, maybe filling in the potholes at curb would help. Thanks for a enjoyable week.

  K but when my husband used the family bathroom the toilet seat was loose and cracked then he found a note on it that looked as though it had been there some time saying toilet seat dodgy one on its way.On the Saturday morning we had no heat and no hot water. As sykes cottages were closed I rang the other phone number provided and the lady who answered said she would ring the plumber who came and said he was waiting for a part and it was the pressure that was the problem .all went well until tues when the same thing happened again the plumber came and basicly said that he had to leave it at a very low temperature and it would come on and off during the day and night.This it did about 6 times in 24 hrs by Thurs we had had enough of being cold and decided to go home

  I went with family yo celerbrate my daughters 40th birthday. Never stayed at a cottage before, always chalets or lodges. We would all recommend Waverley. If we are in the position to afford it again there will be no hesitation. So clean, so much room, which helped with myself and my Husband on crutches, so comfortable, beds especially. Even with my Husband on oxygen and getting B O C to deliver and collect was great. Owners were good, did not get their names, were there when we had a problem with cooker and left us alone to enjoy our stay. Local pub was great too, they got my drink in for me for our stay. Hopefully not too long before we return. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

• "Waverley is a very spacious bungalow in a very quiet village."

  Everything was clean and the beds were comfy. The kitchen had everything you could need apart from a small sharp knife and some steak knifes. In the main bathroom the toilet seat was broken and so was the cord on the blind. A hand rail in the showers would have been useful as my 90yr old mum is very unsteady on her legs so struggled a bit. None of these spoilt our holiday. We had a lovely stay thank you.

• "Lovely location with local information on walks and places to visit."

  A good selection of age-range books games and puzzles in the little entrance hall by the ‘front door’. Well equipped with very modern fittings. We visited East Kirby aircraft Museum, the Coastal Maritime Centre and the Ark Animal Centre and have had numerous trips to the beach. The bungalow has been very comfortable despite some initial setbacks. We hope these following comments will assist other users - all our issues were dealt with promptly. There are insufficient instructions on how to use cooker - we had to Google it before we realised the clock had to be at the right time of day for the ovens to function and instructions for adjusting the timing for the heating. On our arrival there were insufficient bath towels and a complete set were dirty, so we had to wash them. (No laundry powder or dishwasher tabs are supplied). Dishwasher door was very stiff when we first started to use it and to make it work we had to wedge a chair against its door to close it fully so that the seal would engage and the programme start. It has worked well since then. We found the floor cleaning was only areas visible. As we had our granddaughter with us, we frequently had to retrieve small toys from under the settees in the lounge area or toy box in the front vestibule - furniture had obviously not been moved to vacuum. We understand an agency come in to clean. We slept in the room with the en-suite. The double bed is a standard double with a spring-mattress which is very ‘noisy’ when getting into bed - suspect it needs replacing. We would book again if coming to this beautiful area.

• "The approach to the cottage is very vague."

  Our sat nav took us to a cemetery, nowhere near the property. This needs urgent attention to help your future customers, driving aimlessly around an unfamiliar area. We also had problems with the main shower, and kitchen sink working incorrectly. The owner seemed totally unaware of these problems, within her property. Very strange seeing that the next customers thru the door, can only arrive after 4pm. Seeing that you have to vacate before 10am, that leaves 6 hours, to clean and check property, before we arrived. My further opinion is that it is crying out for a hot tub. There is more than enough private garden space available to site one. Especially for people with mobility issues, not able to walk and explore the Lincs Wolds. I wouldnt think we would re-book. SORRY KATHRYN. G
