The Dower House Apartments

Everything was perfect, we met the host who was charming. Thank you for the welcome crisps, cake, croissants, milk, butter, marmalade etc Very spacious and comfortable, great quality of bedding, towels. Private parking . Would certainly recommend.

Cannot think of anything.

The venue was beautiful. The entrance hall and staircase were very grand yet it was welcoming and cosy at the same time. The apartment was fabulous, full of old-world charm and comfort yet the kitchen and bathroom were very modern and had everything you wanted. The hosts left very generous provisions on arrival and were so helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our chats with them. The location was perfect. Quiet and peaceful but only a few minutes away from the centre of Lincoln. I would not hesitate to recommend The Dower House to anyone!

Nothing!

The Idyllic residence for a long weekend stay is at The Dower House located in the picturesque quiet village of Canwick a 15-minute walk from the city centre. The Dower House (so named as a widow’s home historically called a dowager – who had a legal right to title, status or property received from deceased husband. The Seven Apartments housed within this Victorian country residence was built in 1876 and designed by the renowned Scottish Architect William Burn for the Sibthorp family local landowners. This Grand Gothic red-brick building incorporates a striking entrance hall and baronial staircase. Neil is the charming, gallant host welcoming us into his stunning period home – ‘the chocolate box of delights’ and also to our chosen Apartment One with French windows opening out onto the terraced garden. Such a privilege and pleasure to stay for 3 nights over the Bank Holiday Weekend where this period property meets contemporary design in pastel sludge colours. Simply Splendid!.
