amazing quirky, comfy cottage!

Beautiful cottage right in the middle of town!
Could have done with a stair gate leading from living room to kitchen, as this is down some steps and we have a little one. And a microwave would have been good. The hob had a few issues too. But overall no really bad points! Loved the place

This was an old, quirky, quaint three storey cottage in the centre of Sleaford. We booked it as we were attending a nephew's birthday party in the town. It was a very convenient short walk to get there. Parking was free at the local Sainsbury's (also a short stroll away) as we were there over Saturday night/Sunday morning. The facilities were good. Ornaments and pictures were quirky but interesting! Bathroom on first floor, separate toilet on the ground floor. It wouldn't do for people who had a problem with stairs as they were uneven in height. We thought it was great and the beds were VERY comfortable!
We would have liked a microwave to cook the porridge for breakfast! Everything else was fine.

It is a sweet cottage, plenty of clean towels, clean bathroom and linen.
The front door wouldn’t stay shut unless you locked it, no letter box , so we all had to get up when our friends left early in morning, to lock door again.
It was a little dusty, I know it’s an old cottage, but would have been nice for it to have been done before we arrived.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover a full 'hotel' type breakfast was available, as the pub has a B and B too. Also good that there is a downstairs toilet, which I hadn't expected, and which, with four of us staying there, was very useful! Quirky design and decor gave it character, and the sitting room was spacious and comfortable. Good towels!
Staircase slightly difficult to manoeuvre, but that is just the nature of the property.

Nice and comfy
Could have been more kitchen utensils. No grater, colander etc. Pots had to clean before use. Christmas songs at 9pm was a bit much but to be expected!

Plenty of space for our group of 4 adults and 2 children
Due to the nature of the old building with 3/4 floors it wasn’t too toddler friendly. More stair gates would be useful plus a high chair and travel cot. Also only 1 key for 6 of us was definitely not enough.

Great location!
Beds were a little uncomfortable and there was a fan going off in a nearby building which made it quite noisy to sleep and then bin lorry’s at 5am was quite a rude awakening

Brilliant location. Cosy sitting room. Beautiful bathroom.
Steep stairs, but I appreciate that it's part of the charm of the property

Good location.
Mattress on first floor could possibly need changing.
This did not effect our stay just a recommendation.

Cute little cottage attached to the pub, really well equipped with everything you need. We only stayed overnight but would be great for a longer stay.
Staff really friendly and Watergate pub is really nice, courtyard is lovely.

The cottage was cosy, clean and simply but comfortably furnished. The kitchen was well planned out with full size fridge freezer, cooker and enough worktop space, as well as a dining area, and the very large bathroom was bright, clean and well equipped with bath, separate shower cubicle and plenty of towels. Bedrooms were cosy and characterful with comfy beds, and we all had a good night’s sleep. There were some nice little extras too….biscuits, tea and coffee, milk, hand soap and toiletries in bathroom.
The cottage is attached to Watergate Yard, which is a really unique and quirky bar and garden area. Unfortunately it was closed on the evening we stayed but we enjoyed a fantastic breakfast there in the morning with amazing service.
We would definitely return!
Nothing, it was all exactly as we’d hoped.

The whole cottage was absolutely perfect for us. It was warm, comfortable and absolutely spotless.
The thoughtful little bits really made it memorable.
E.g. the extra towels, cotton buds, cleaning products, fresh flowers and shampoo and conditioner
The only downside was the WiFi as it didn't work after the first day so I had to connect my phone to the TV. But it didn't take long.
I'm sure it will be back up and running again for the next occupants.
Will definitely stay there again as it's in walking distance to my brother's house, whom we were visiting.
Thank you so much for making us feel welcome.
The WiFi disconnecting on the second day.
