My father and I had a wonderful stay at Holly Cottage. It was super clean, the beds were very comfortable with lovely quality bedding. Clare was so helpful both around the booking and when we arrived, making us feel so welcome. Breakfast was delicious, good quality food with fresh eggs from her hens, and provided at a time that suited us, Clare gave us great information about what to do in the area and how to get places. We highly recommend Clare’s wonderful hospitality and genuine interest in the welfare of her guests.
We have just stayed 3 nights in Holly Cottage – a beautiful house at the end of a quiet country lane and an ideal starting point for trips to Lincoln and the coast, as well as walks in the Lincolnshire Wolds. The accommodation is highly recommendable; we had a lovely spacious room with a comfortable bed, luxury ensuite bathroom and view of Clare’s beautiful garden. Breakfast was excellent. Clare is a thoughtful hostess who made us feel very welcome.
Sept 2024 – Clare is a wonderful host, attentive, nothing is too much trouble. Very comfortable stay in a peaceful setting.
Have just spent two nights at Holly Cottage with my husband and two friends from Canada for the occasion of my son’s wedding nearby. Have to say I could not have chosen a nicer b&b with a nicer host. It was home from home with lovely bedrooms, comfortable beds, lovely location and a great breakfast each morning. Would definitely recommend Holly Cottage and will be staying again when we are in the area.
After sending away for your ‘little green book “ that came rather promptly I must say, we decided to try some of the properties listed. Holly Cottage in Hagworthingham, another fabulous property that was not only very comfortable but had a great deal to offer.
The breakfast was again very plentiful as well as delicious and the room was very spacious. Clare also went above and beyond in acquiring us stays for the rest of our journey.

I have just recently spent three nights at Holly Cottage, which is delightful and set within a lovely garden and beautiful surroundings. Clare is very welcoming, nothing is too much trouble, a perfect hostess!The accommodation is top class and breakfast is very special, with eggs from Clare’s hens, other local produce and preserves lovingly made from local berries. Definitely the best scrambled eggs I’ve ever tasted !
Particularly notable was a luxurious bath with which I indulged myself whilst enjoying the view from the window! As good as a spar treat!
I have no hesitation in recommending Holly Cottage for a truly luxurious, country stay.
Absolutely loved our stay,it’s a quality B&B with lovely touches provided by Clare. Would definitely recommend for a peaceful break!
We’ve just stayed 8 nights with Clare at Holly Cottage and can’t wait to return at the end of August. Clare is an outstanding host who goes over and above to make guests feel so welcome. Nothing is too much trouble for her. Our ensuite room was spacious; beds most comfortable and the view beautiful. Great variety for breakfast, including Clare’s delicious jams, and freshly laid eggs from “the girls”! Holly Cottage with its pretty garden is the perfect place to relax in a stunning location. Walks are right on the doorstep and location is perfect to visit the coast or, in our case, family in Horncastle. Can’t recommend it highly enough!
