Millcott Reviews

We have just spent a lovely week in this very comfortable property. A great location with numerous walks on the door step. The property was very clean and contained everything needed for a home away from home. The owner Alison, introduced herself to ensure we had everything we needed. We have no hesitation recommending this property.
Beverley Joy
Have just returned from a lovely stay at this property. spotlessly clean and very well equipped. the host alison was on hand if needed , lovely welcome pack, fenced in garden for our dog. Hot tub was a very welcome additional extra .Would not hesitate to use this property again when visiting the area,
We were greeted with a good quality welcome pack of goodies on arrival. The cottage is lovely and spacious and ideal for 2 couples with the large ensuite bathrooms. The lounge is a great size with the rise and fall chair an excellent extra if someone has problems getting up and down out of a chair. The dining room in the conservatory has a lovely big table and chairs. The kitchen is well equipped with the dishwasher and washing machine and cooking facilities. It's a lovely area to stay, the local pub served excellent food and helpful staff and were extremely dog friendly. Alison the owner of the cottage was available and very helpful if we needed anything.
Lindsay
We had a lovely time at Millcott. The cottage was very comfortable, had everything we needed. Perfect location to explore local attractions in Lincoln and the surrounding areas. The hot tub was a lovely addition. The owner Alison was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again.
Loved our stay will definitely be back
Had a lovely stay in this delightful cottage. All basic requirements were available and the hot tub was the added bonus! Set in the countryside and central to visiting many attractions and gorgeous walks. Bus timetable to Lincoln was good with the bus stop only 10 mins walk from cottage. Good food available in local pubs and can highly recommend Maharaaj in Metheringham, which we had delivered. Alison is lovely and only too helpful in making your stay enjoyable. Definitely will stay here again.
Chelle
The property owner was available helpful and very friendly. The establishment was of a good standard and it is clear Alison takes pride in what she does, beautiful dogs too! Thank you so much xx
Denise
Lovely comfortable cottage. Very generous welcome pack with even a toy for our furry friend. Well equipped particularly enjoyed the hot tub. Very friendly owner. Highly recommend
Lovely property, we enjoyed our week. Really felt like home from home
Property was very nice and comfortable. Thanks for the lovely welcome pack.However the real big issue was the lack of hot water in bathrooms.only Luke warm water and not possible to shower,which was inconvenient.This must be addressed for further holiday makers.Other wise we had a nice stay.
Kirsty
Millcott exceeded our expectations in every way, the write up does not do it justice. Lovely location with secure access and great allocated parking. A very rare find, this property is completely accessible, all on one level, super comfortable beds, spacious ensuites to both bedrooms, and all bedding really good quality. Every room equipped to a really good standard, garden completely secure for the dog too. Alison, completely on hand if anything needed and a delight to deal with. Incredible value for money, we will definitely return.
Melvyn
Loved Millcott but as oldies found the information provided to be confusing. Never used a keycase before and had to ask for assistance, so we got off to a bad start. The Wifi would not connect for any of our party, the hot tub registererd 43 degrees and was unusable. The shower worked on the first full day, but could only get cold water after that, was it another instruction we did not follow?. The owner was around but always very busy and not particularly friendly. We all felt a bit intimidated by her and did not report any problems, so the problem became ours. I am not attaching blame to Alison. It was our first holiday in over 10 years so disappointed in myself for not being brave enough to contact her. We had a lovely break in a beautiful area, and apart from these niggles, we were happy.
Alison was very helpful and friendly. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this lovely property.
Wonderful place for a relaxed holiday. Superb bungalow that is fully equipped and in excellent order. Alison the is the perfect owner, available if required but never intrusive . Lovely garden which overlooks the stables and paddocks , provides a relaxing base which is perfect for exploring the delights of this beautiful county. We would highly recommend spending some of your mornings at the nearby RAF bases at Waddington and Coningsby. Where you can watch close up the Red Arrows and Typhoon jets do their thing. The Royal Oak in the village provides excellent food and a relaxing place for an evening pint. We already are planning our return 5 stars from us
Michelle
We had a fantastic stay, Alison the owner was extremely helpful, she kindly supplied us with a Sun lounger as they weather was so glorious and helped us find an emergency dentist when one of our group had toothache. The accommodation was perfect, comfy sofas, equally comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. Would highly recommend this property.
Hugely disappointing on many levels. Cannot understand how this property has a 4 tick rating. The 50 refund we received seemed inadequate for the many issues we had to raise.
Enjoyed our week in this lovely spacious cottage with a very friendly cat that visits regularly! Close to lots of walks and local villages worth exploring. Nice day out in Lincoln,caught the bus from the village. Scopwick is a very pretty village with a nice pub at the side of the beck. It has a wonderful Greek menu. Also excellent fish and chips at Barrier Reef in Metheringham. An area worth visiting. Many thanks
Elaine
We had a lovely stay in Milcott for 5 days comfortable and spacious for 2 couples. Warm, clean and well equipped everything needed for a holiday. Sitting in a hot tub at the end of a day out was an added treat. Alison was friendly and on hand for any queries. Thank you for the groceries too!
Alison
Perfect place to relax and the dogs just loved it. Alison was so welcome and had thought of everything. Spotlessly clean and amazing welcome pack. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning Alison and Brian
A very enjoyable stay at Millcott, a very spacious and warm cottage. The owner Alison was lovely and made us feel welcome. The welcome basket of goodies was much apprectiated.
A lovely, clean and comfortable property within a few minutes' drive of an excellent pub. Conveniently located for exploring Lincoln and the rest of the county. Great welcome pack as well! Thank you.
Millcott was a lovely place to stay, and Alison is a great host and nothing was too much trouble, especially when providing the rise and recline chair for my dad. The place was clean and spacious. And the hot tub was a real bonus. Thanks Alison.
Heather
Beautiful and very comfortable cottage. Really enjoyed our stay.
Great stay at Millcott. Everything well presented and spotless! Alison was a perfect host who despite a broken foot was always cheery and welcoming. The garden was plenty big enough and fully enclosed for our two medium sized dogs to charge around in. WiFi was great, but also games and a good selection of books are provided. The welcome pack was full of local delicious goodies that were great fully received! The new installed upgraded hot tub sadly was awaiting the electrician but Alison offered us the use of hers. Millcott is situated in gorgeous countryside but within walking distance to the local pub which also serves food. There are plenty of great walks directly from the door which Alison can point you in the right direction. We certainly wouldnt hesitate to stay again or recommend Millcott. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
Sharon
Could not fault the efforts made by Alison who clearly goes the extra mile to ensure her clients holiday is a good and enjoyable experience. The quality of the furnishings is to a very high standard however personally I would add a single rise recline chair suitable for the elderly or infirm to have a snooze in and I would provide some dedicated cushions for the dining chairs as we used those from the lounge and were worried about spoiling them.
Miguel
The owner was very nice and helpful but the WiFi didn't work, the TV signal was not good it was also said that their was sky TV but their wasn't and the lazy spa had a hole in it.
Lovely relaxing stay clean comfortable and well equipped definitely return
The property has been furnished to a high standard eg, Miele and Bosch kitchen appliances and tastefully decorated. It is spacious, very light, with two generous bedrooms, both ensuite the large shower was particularly appreciated. The garden is pleasant with sturdy dining furniture, a delightful place for an evening G & T. We have been to many cottages in France and England, and this ranks among the best. Highly recommended.
Beautiful bungalow with every need catered for. Alison the owner is lovely and makes you feel very welcome and cant do enough for you. We used the park and ride from Waitrose into Lincoln which takes right up to the cathedral and castle, plus its free if you have a bus pass. Would stay here again if in the area .
Richard
We stayed at Millcott for 6 nights. The property was spacious , clean and had everything we needed. The owner lived in the adjoining property and was very hospitable. There was a lovely hamper to greet us on our arrival full of goodies and essentials and there was even treats for our dog. A very nice touch. The property is conveniently located with Woodhall Spa , Lincoln , Belton House and various seaside resorts in close proximity. The local pub called the Royal Oak was exceptional and highly recommended especially the Sunday Roast and the Greek culinary. We I definitely be returning to this property.
Fantastic setting, the cottage is the perfect get away providing everything you need. The owner was very accommodating and really helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The cottage was also spotless. I would definitely recommend and look forward to returning.
Everything about our stay was perfect. Alison was a thoughtful host whose communication was excellent. We arrived to find a lovely welcome basket with local produce and even dog treats for our dog! The house was spotless, warm and welcoming. It was a real pleasure to stay here and we will not hesitate to return. Thank you Alison, we loved your home!
Tracey
Thanks Ali for a great eight week stay! Everything was great and you are so kind! Thank you Tracey Ian and of course Skye xx
We really enjoyed our stay at Millcot. A real home from home the beds were so comfy and furnishings and decor were very pleasing. The weather was on our side so we had some lovely trips out enjoying the scenic views and sunshine. Alison was at hand if needed and a welcome pack on arrival that was much appreciated..looking forward to booking again later in the year. Karen and Harry dad
Gillian
Wonderful attention to detail, and nothing overlooked. The Cottage was spotless and really appreciated the extra touches such as the Xmas decorations plus the goodies. Very warm and comfortably furnished.
Great accommodation and location to visit surrounding areas of interest ,nice welcome pack on arrival,we will be returning in the future. The following are very minor issues that would help people who stay in future we think . more cutlery, blinds on the velux windows and 2 fobs for the electric gate if 2 cars staying
Stanley
Millcott is a lovely clean and spacious place. Beds are very comfortable, and the owner is a very pleasent lady .All things were catered for. Hope to return in the future.
Lovely cottage, excellent hosts. Thank you.

Rushmoor Country Park - GU10 1ET
about 27 Miles
Located in Louth in Lincolnshire this is an ideal attraction when you want to get out in the fresh air and explore. There are many animals to see including ponies and piglets which the little ones love.  There are also some amazing birds from hawks and falcons to owls.  Most aspects of this attraction are included in the admission cost and as well as wandering around you get to hold and feed the animals too.  A real highlight are the micro pigs which are just like real pigs but in miniature.  Fully grown they are around the size of a spaniel!  If you get hungry then you can take your own picnic to the picnic areas or head for the tea room selling delicious food and children's meals too.
