Little cosy and clean cottage. Owners are hospitable and very friendly. Highly recommended!!

Geoffrey

Great place to explore the Lincolnshire wolds was just what we wanted

Robert

Great tiny cottage. Very helpful host. Finding the location the first time wasn't easy, but the support of our host, Mrs. Annette, was great.

Stayed at this beautiful little cottage for 5 nights in June and had an absolutely amazing time. The cottage was gorgeous and up there with some of the best places we,ve ever stayed. The area was really peaceful and a short walk over the fields to the stunning Tealby, the thatched pub is a must! This cottage was a perfect base to visit other places too. Louth was also beautiful. Annette was wonderful,really responsive with texts and lock box was really handy for checking in too. This cottage has all you need to make mealsdrinks. The welcome treats and the butter and milk were so thoughtful and greatly appreciated. The plum loaf did not last long! We also spent quite a bit of time on the cared for garden also perfect for our dog with beautiful seating areas. We will definitely stay here again,would not hesitate. Thank you!

A quaint little cottage with good facilities.

Fabulous little cottage, everything you need for a comfortable stay. The garden is lovely to sit and enjoy. The owner was lovely, and goes above and beyond to make your stay special. We will definitely be returning.

Christine

Small but perfectly formed. This small cottage had everything provided. The gardens were lovely and the location was good for exploring the countryside. The bed was comfy and the kitchen had all we needed for meals.

We had a great break. It has everything that you need to make your stay enjoyable. All amenities are cared for from a comfortable bed to a lovely log burner. Our host Annette was lovely and made sure we had all the information from checking in to departing. We will be returning. Ps the welcome pack was a welcome addition.

Fantastic cottage really cosy will definitely visit again

An excellent, cosy charming little cottage.

Mikki-may

Amazing cottage! ! Couldnt recommend enough!

We had a lovely 5 days in the warm and cosy Old Blacksmiths Cottage. It may be small but has everything one might need and very clean and comfortable. The owners are friendly and welcoming too, we will remember this cottage for next time we are in Lincolnshire!

Lovely comfortable cottage. Had everything you would require and a great welcome pack. Annette was very friendly and approachable.

This cottage was exactly what I wanted, well equipped warm and cosy. Annette and Steve were excellent hosts, I knew from everything I read and after our first conversation I would have a lovely holiday. Lots of helpful information in the cottage, things to do and useful information relating to the property too. I will be back. Thank you.

Melvyn

The property was just right for 2 persons. It was compact but once you settled in it was delightful. There was everything that you might need, the owner had really thought of things you might want. The owner was lovely, and very helpful. I would return to this property without hesitation. Lovely holday. Thanks

This is a lovely small cottage, very clean and it is amazing how it seems to contain everything you need for a relaxing stay. Spoke to Annette the owner on the phone to arrange for the key collection, very friendly and helpful. Delighted with the welcome pack of groceries, lovely to have a slice of local plum loaf with a cuppa upon arrival. Great location, lots of local walks and only a few miles from the local train station. Nice thatched pub in Tealby for a pint and a bite to eat not far away. Really enjoyed my stay here.

What a perfect little place to stay! !!! Weve just spent 3 nights here for the August Bank Holiday, traveled up from Kent to visit family in Market Rasen. It couldnt have been in a better location for us, as we were less than 10 minute drive to there. We arrived in the dark and did struggle a bit to find it, due to some roadworks being done, but Annette came out to find uswe were literally right in front of the place! Once inside, we were totally taken with the place. Despite its size, it had everything we needed and we felt very at home here. The place was spotlessly clean, with big fluffy towels and lovely fresh smelling bed linen! To top it all, wed been left a cute little hamper, with fresh bread and a Lincolnshire Plum Loaf very tasty, tea coffee & sugar and also butter and milk in the fridge. Thanks for making our stay so welcoming. We will be back in the new year, when we come to visit our family again.

Andrew David

Friendly owner lovely bijou cottage tall people please mind your head in the Lincolnshire wolds easy walk over the fields to the oldest thatched pub in Lincolnshire which serves really good food and beer! . Lovely place to stay for a few days easy access to lots of towns, villages and the seaside, enough said.

Nice well equipped small property an nicely maintained

Annette

We didn't want for anything provided by the helpful and friendly owners. The quaint and charming cottage was warm, comfortable and set in our favourite part of Lincolnshire... the wolds. Ideal for walks, visiting nearby market towns, pretty villages and other places of interest. Highly recommended.

Alexander Keith

Myself and my faithful furry friend have had a wonderful week at this lovely ... Myself and my faithful furry friend have had a wonderful week at this lovely clean comfortable cozy cottage, very friendly owners ,we have walked many many miles in this beautiful part of the UK , I will return for another time in the near future, the only slight problem with the cottage is the traffic noise from the A631 passing the property,a pair of earplugs would soon sort that problem if a lay in is wanted

The cottage is fine for two people as it has everything that is needed. It is small but quaint and has everything required for a short stay.Most appreciated the small wood burner that supplemented the heating in the cold weather.

Excellent property. Love the layout, nice cottage feel. Everything I needed for my stay. Comfy bed. Tesco supermarket nearby. Owner's on hand if needed. Also very helpful.

Jennifer

I am just back from my second visit to Old Blacksmiths Cottage and enjoyed the stay just as much as the first time. The owners have managed to fit everything you could possibly need into this lovely little space, and made it a wonderful place to stay.

Beautiful cosy cottage, with everything you need for a short break. Loved it, would recommend it !!!

Lovely little cottage which was just right for the two of us and dog for our week long break in Lincolnshire. The cottage was very well equipped, with seemingly all avenues catered for. Although quite small, the cottage was very cosy and easy to keep warm with gas heating and the little wood burning stove. The owners were very friendly and helpful. All in all an excellent base from which to explore the area.

A very pleasant and well appointed small cottage.

Trevor Andrew

I stopped in Old Blacksmith's Cottage for a week with my dog and it was absolutely lovely. It had everything we needed for a memorable stay and I don't hesitate in recommending it.

Jennifer

What a wonderful cottage, excellent in every sense. We especially loved sitting out in the spacious garden and having our meals there, and learning more about the history of the building from the friendly and helpful owners. Wonderful for a summer visit, but it would also be lovely and cozy in cooler seasons. We definitely hope to be back!

We had a wonderful time at Annette's lovely cosy cottage . It had had everything we needed and was ideally positioned for day trips to Lincoln,Cleethorpes and Mablethorpe. Superb time

This cottage is amazing, small but beautifully conceived, it has everything you need. Lovely walks for your dog nearby . Great information for dog owners on walks and dog friendly pubs.

Lovely welcome, nice goodies n arrival after a long journey. . perfect

Really enjoyed my stay at blacksmiths cottage, very thoughtful use of space. Loved walking my dog, Charlie in the woods near by . For some road can be a bit busy, didnt bother me . Was lovely to just sit in the garden and chill off an evening after a day walking. Its a lovely area and would like to return. Comfy bed slept well. Thank you.

We had a warm welcome from the owners to a lovely cottage. The surrounding area was terrific with forest walks less than a mile away. The most rested and relaxed we've been in a long time.

Thomas

Lovely cottage. All very good. Nice welcome with fresh bread, fruit loaf, butter, milk. Tea and coffee. Annette welcomed us explaining about the key safe and other matters. Helpfully, agreeing we could park in front of the cottage but be very careful due to the sharp bend. I got my wife to stand across the road to check.

Outstanding

This is a delightfully small but cosy and appropriately equipped cottage suitable for a few days away. In addition to the central heating, there is a log burner, for which logs are supplied, which all makes for a comfy night in on a chilly evening. If you're a walker, there are plenty of suitable footpaths and lanes to wander and explore. The generally flat terrain makes the going easy. All in all a very pleasant and delightful few days away.

Stayed here twice. Both times have been amazing! Will definitely be booking a third visit

Had a good time. Steve was very nice and greeted us when we arrived.

Barbara

Enjoyed our time there, good cycling, lovely cottage
