The house was a great location for a family birthday. We particularly loved that there was a pub 15 minutes walk away which served all you can eat breakfast which was a great birthday treat without needing to cook.

We stayed at this property in November 2025. The house was warm and welcoming for our family reunion. The kitchen was about the best equipped of any holiday property I have used and makes such a difference. The lounge was comfortable, as were the bedrooms. As we brought our dog we were pleased that the gardens were secure. All in all, it was the perfect place for us and we would consider using it again.

Communication with the host is very good. Clear instructions for the property. The house is very comfortable to holiday in. We have stayed a few times and always enjoyed our time there. It does accommodate various age groups and we had a one year old with us. Although we had to shield the glass cupboard. A lovely property with a childrens play park within walking distance. If you have a dog, there are so lovely places to go all walkable from the property. A lovely farm shop selling fresh eggs. Its a great place for a relaxing holiday.

We really enjoyed our long weekend stay at 1, The Green. The cottage is full of character and exceptionally well equipped – it even had hair tongs! It felt homely and comfortable, and was the perfect place to return to after some picturesque walks along the old Grantham Canal and a visit to Belvoir Castle. Lynn was a fantastic host – communication was excellent throughout. When we encountered a minor issue with the boiler on arrival, she swiftly arranged an emergency callout on the Friday evening, which we really appreciated.

A very comfortable house in the heart of a beautiful village. The neighbours were wonderfully kind, as was the owner, who did everything to ensure that we had a pleasant stay. Highly recommended!
