The property was beautifully equipped and very comfortable and cosy. We both slept very well. The garden was also very pleasant to sit out in. The location was perfect for us and our visits around Lincolnshire. Would highly recommend.

Much bigger than expected. Flawless. This is an example of how a holiday cottage should always be. Feels very homely and easy to forget you're not at home. We ended up spending more time than expected in the house. If you're reading this feedback then you are already on the fence for booking. Let me help you by pushing you into the right direction. Book it!! There is a pool table and games room. To the owners, thank you. We look forward to booking again in the future.

On arrival there was a birthday card and fresh flowers from Ian and Ali as I had said we would be celebrating my 60th birthday at the weekend. There was also a welcome hamper which we all loved and the tea/coffee pots were full. We had plenty of room for a family of 6 adults 2 children and a dog to have comfy seats to rest on. We all loved the games room and beautiful garden with garden furniture to relax on. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated and we had ample towels for baths/showers. The very big kitchen had every pot/pan and utensil we could have thought of. Everything was immaculately clean and was typical of a country cottage theme. We would highly recommend a stay in this beautiful part of the country. There are plenty of places to visit on days out close to Holt House. We played golf, had a trip into Lincoln and the beautiful Belton House owned by the national trust. Items such as washing up liquid, tea towels, tinfoil, kitchen roll were all provided. Holt House is a beautiful place to stay and we would thoroughly recommend it.
