Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"This is a peaceful location but still within easy reach of places to visit."
Berry Barn was fantastically well-equipped and our host had provided a welcome pack that meant we didn't have to hunt around for a corner shop or supermarket on our first full day, which took the stress out of hunting around for a shop and meant we could concentrate on sightseeing. The fact that we were able to take our 2 small dogs with us was a bonus. The coastal walks and beaches are fantastic. We visited at the end of October '24 and had to find diversions to get to the coast as usual routes to Roman Banks are partially closed due to works. But the coast is well worth a visit and there seemed to be plenty of other attractions to visit.
Thank you Rob for taking the time to review your stay in Berry Barn.
I'm so pleased you enjoyed the rural life and beaches of Lincolnshire, some of which seem so deserted you could be anywhere, lovely for our furry family. It was a pleasure hosting you all.

"On a whole the cottage was ok ."
. but we found it not very comfortable the settee was really hard and un comfortable .the spare bed could feel every spring very old . the back garden was ok for the dog but not very inviting to sit out og a morning or evening to enjoy the out doors ..
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that you did not find the cottage to be comfortable. I will have a look at the sofa and the snug bed as this is the first time we have received feedback of this nature. We did find some instant barbecues left in the garden following your departure, so I am glad you managed to enjoy the garden for at least some of your stay.

Sloping ceiling in lounge was sharper than expected. It could be improved by moving some of furniture to give more open space in centre of room where there was most head room.

Some good places for eating out locally.
