The accommodation is amazing, with every attention to detail catered for. It was so comfortable and welcoming...a pleasure to come back to each day. We felt totally spoiled! The location was perfect for us; peaceful and tranquil with lovely views over open countryside. We went to explore Lincolshire, especially the aviation history of the area as my Dad was based there in WW2. It didn't disappoint as the property was perfectly positioned to visit all the places of interest we wanted to see including the coast. The owners Jo and James could not have made us feel more welcome, and the wonderful hamper of local "goodies" on our arrival was a lovely touch. We would 100% recommend Old Willow Barn to anyone seeking a 5* delightful "home from home" in this beautiful part of the country.

The barn is finished to such a high standard and has absolutely everything youâd need for a relaxing stay. Comforting beds; bathrooms which felt like a boutique hotel and a great kitchen/living space to enjoy. Hosts Jo and James were on hand if we needed anything but left us to it to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The area is great - plenty of walks from the door and if you want to travel, thereâs loads to do in the area and a bit further afield. Lincoln is a must-do visit and we also enjoyed an old fashioned beach day at Mablethorpe. We had a lovely welcome basket on arrival with delicious local goodies. Weâd love to return in the future and would highly recommend.
