Well appointed accommodation

Stayed for two nights as attending a function locally. Accommodation perfect for us. Well appointed studio with en-suite shower/wc. Very clean and nicely furnished. Own entrance to rear of pub. Street parking plentiful and free. Pub restaurant had tasteful decor, friendly staff and good food. This would make an ideal base for touring south Lincolnshire or north west Norfolk.

Wow! What a super nice place to stay, a very friendly welcome in the bar and the pub is lovely with a nice ambience. The rooms are round the back and in effect a bedroom apartment like a mini suite complete with kitchen facilities and a lovely small modern bathroom with walk in shower. The whole thing is very nice, tasteful and well thought out, comfortable and homely. Would definitely stay again.

The chalet was excellent value. With a bedroom, bathroom, sitting room and kitchen area we were very happy. There is a kettle and toaster and all you need to make a basic breakfast. We had an evening meal in the pub. It was a grill night but they were prepared to cater for vegetarians. The staff were very helpful but also discreet. A very happy stay. We thoroughly recommend this property. Thoroughly recommend this property.

I was disappointed to find out that the bar / restaurant was closed Monday and Tuesdays, this was not mentioned or highlighted on booking. As a business trip this was not what i was expecting. The room was extremely nice, but with a small kitchen area there was no microwave or cooker, only a toaster. This meant i could not buy food to cook and had to find a restaurant for my evening meal if i wanted a hot dinner. Everything about the room was amazing, very peaceful and a great night sleep. Feel they need to advise that bar / restaurant are not open certain days.
