Testimonials
Welcome to our testimonial page where we publish guest's thoughts and ideas on how to improve our self catering accommodation in sunny Lincolnshire. From family gatherings to romantic breaks away we aspire to provide a holiday away something special and that little bit unique. See what our recent guests have to say for themselves:
"Excellent customer relations, easy to book + helpful. Excited about staying 'somewhere a bit different...
Very beautiful surroundings, quiet, comfortable and easy access to brilliant walks - lots of nature! Hedgerows, beaches, windmills, small pretty places and big not-so-pretty places but great for kids. People on railway very kind to kids. Fun and relaxation can be found - something for everyone! Thank you very much!!!" (Link)
"Our 3 night stay 6 adults and 2 children was very enjoyable...
Plenty of room for everyone, everything you need was supplied and the log fire was a real bonus with plenty of logs supplied. Unfortunately the trains were not operating on our break, but the guys working on the trains were brilliant with the 3yr old and showed him round the trains. We enjoyed seeing the seals which were not far away and Cleethorpes is worth a visit. We would have liked to have stayed longer,Janine was super to deal with and we have no difficulty in recommending this property,

"A deceptively large house, it is a full 8 sleeper...
You have enough space to spread out and stow all your baggage for the longest holiday, whilst at the same time there is more than enough room in each of the two main reception rooms for 8 adults to eat at one table, gather and generally share a comfortable time.
The standard of the decor is high. It is modern, clean and clutter free. I went there with 7 other adults for a weekend, but I suspect that families with Children will appreciate the fact that there's nothing there that looks like a likely candidate for breakage!
The working Steam Railway provides what is probably a virtually unique back drop and view from the kitchen window. I can agree with other reviewers that the Steam Engines passing by are interesting without being in the least bit disturbing.
We used the adjacent BBQ pavilion, and this was a great way to spend an afternoon in what was a great sunny July for England. A real bonus feature. Graham was very flexible in his approach which was appreciated. Thanks Graham.
Originally looking for an economic place to put up 8 adults, we got much more than we were expecting at a good price.
Any person or group looking for a base of operations in rural Lincolnshire will be very happy in choosing this unique house.

"Lovely house - could happily live here...
Beautiful hot sunny day with steam engines, morris dancing and cupcakes! Fantastic storm on the night with sheet lightening that lit up the whole of the wolds. A fabulous place to stay. Thank you." (Link)
"We stayed at this property with another family and were absolutely delighted by the standard of the accomodation....
We had everything we could possibly need. The amount of space meant that four adults and four children were able to enjoy the holiday without constantly tripping over each other and the steam trains going past the kitchen widow made it a very unique experience. We are planning a return trip!

"We took our 3 grandchildren ages 2yrs, 5yrs and 7 yrs for the Easter holidays.....
The Lincolnshire Steam Railway was running trains over the weekend and the kitchen window overlooks the line and the platform. It was even more fun watching them from there than having a ride. They stopped at 5 pm so there was no disturbance.
The house has 2 comfortable sitting rooms so you can spread out and the children can enjoy a play room. The bedrooms are a good size with a double and 2 twins. There is another bedroom downstairs but as it has the hot water tank in it, it gets hot. There is another very good shower and toilet downstairs. The garden is enclosed, so safe for the children.
Graham and Janine are very helpful and answered all my email enquiries immediately.
There is a very well stocked Spar at North Thoresby.
The beach is not easy to find unless you travel to Cleethorpes or Mablethorpe. We went to Theddlethorpe and it is a lovely beach but the sea seemed to be miles away. Very good if you only want sand and shells.
A lovely place to walk, with water , play areas, picnic areas and bridges for Pooh sticks is Hubbard's Hills just off the Louth ring road.
If wet, they have 3 TVs (one in the main bedroom) with a DVD player for each. We had a problem with the remotes, but they worked manually.
We would recommend this place for a family holiday.

Mi esposa, los niños y yo tomaron el primer tres semanas en julio a permanecer en la casa del amo de la estación. Era muy la sorpresa agradable cuando vimos la casa y en entrar todavía estuvo satisfecha en las condiciones necesarias para alojar a una familia grande (somos 9).
Deseo acentuar la amabilidad y bueno disposición de los dueños de la casa. En todo han estado tendiendo a nuestras necesidades y necesidades. Recomendaremos esta casa a nuestros amigos en España, que amor Inglaterra.

My wife, the children and I took the first three weeks in July to stay at The Station Master's House. It was a very pleasant surprise when we saw the house and on entering was still pleased at the conditions necessary to lodge a big family (we are 9).
I want to emphasise the amiability and good disposition of the owners of the house. In everything they have been tending to our necessities and needs. We will recommend this house to our friends in Spain, whom love England.
