Your Escape to Tranquility

“I stayed here on my own with my dog for the bank holiday weekend and it was just what I was looking for, very peaceful and quiet with some really nice walks you can do straight from the door. Really relaxing break and I would definitely recommend.”

“Such a beautiful cottage in a stunning location , in the heart of the countryside, so peaceful and private. Everything about the cottage was first class , comfy beds , quality bed linen and so many little added extras to make our stay comfortable from a mini speaker, lovely toiletries, everything you would need in the kitchen and a very welcome welcome pack. The garden was lovely and private and well enclosed for our dogs. Wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend”

“Its a beautiful cottage with everything you need. Quiet & beautiful location. Thanks so much.”

“We had a lovely stay at The Cow Shed with our Labrador. The accomodation is surprisingly spacious compared to the photos and is well equipped. The location is peaceful with lots of lovely walks and an amazing sandy coastline that's well worth a visit. We walked from Anderby Creek to Chapel Point. There's a great restaurant/cafe there with interesting architecture called the North Sea Observatory, which is worth a visit. Just to note, the garden is not completely secure for dogs but it wasn't a problem for us. Would happily stay there again 🙂”

“Extended our stay by a further couple of weeks as we wait in between moving home nearby. What a lovely place to stay though with several delightful walks from the doorstep. The Cowshed is situated in the lovely tiny village of Somersby and ideally located for exploring the surrounding Lincolnshire Wolds. Many thanks Jane for your continued friendly welcome.”

“A lovely place, couldn’t fault anything. Had everything needed. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils, mugs, pans, trays. Living room was comfortable with a smart TV too. The shower pressure was a highlight, far too many disappointing showers at Airbnbs. This place was perfect and the bath was lovely after a long day out walking. Shower robes and extra large bath towels a good addition. We used AllTrails to walk a lovely 1hr 15min loop starting from the front door. Through farmland and well laid track. Lots of quiet lanes, footpaths and farmland to walk around. 35minutes to the beach. We went to Moggs eye and couldn’t believe how vast and quiet it was. Our reactive dog had a blast! The highlight of this place has to be the garden. Absolutely beautiful and quiet. Well fenced in. There is a smaller gate that some dogs could possibly jump over but not an issue for ours. Of all the Airbnbs we’ve stayed in (there are many) this one felt most homely.”

“Such a lovely place to stay close to Horncastle with good road links to Louth, Skegness, Spilsby, Alford, Boston and Lincoln. The Lincolnshire Wolds are beautiful and underrated. The cottage is ideally situated with lovely walks from the doorstep. The cottage is really cosy, well equipped and ideal for our needs. We have already extended our stay for a few more days. Many thanks to Jane for her welcome and response when required.”

“Our 2nd stay at Candleshoe cottage didn't disappoint! Well equipped, clean, comfy beds, lovely hot showers. In a very peaceful little village. Lots of walks in the area. A little gem! We hope to visit again.”

“Wonderful place in a beautiful village. Very comfortable beds and bedding. Amazing kitchen . Lovely views from so many windows. We stayed for Xmas and the cottage was perfect and cosy. The garden is lovely too”

“Candelshoe Cottage is such a beautiful place. This being our second visit and hope to return again. Jane was very responsive and helpful. And we so appreciated the plum loaf, eggs and milk. Thank you Jane.”

“Cottage and garden much better than expected. Very quiet area. Everything had been thought about. Lovely comfortable beds. Plenty of towels and even bathrobes. Cottage is very well equipped, spacious and garden well cared for. Outside seating and patio area overlooking the garden. Where there was plenty of room for our two young boisterous dogs to play.”

“Lovely place to stay , very homely and extremely peaceful. Would highly recommend.”

“Beautiful dog friendly cottage every amenity provided . Great enclosed secure garden for dogs and for eating out. Very peaceful surroundings and good location for the Wold.”

“The pictures did not do the place justice, beautiful and bigger than I expected, especially the garden. Tastefully decorated, and every amenity and kitchen utensil you could possibly need, and more.... Tucked away in a fairly remote location but some good walks in the area, and the nice braches only 30 minute drive away. Would highly recommend to anyone.”

“We had a wonderful stay at Candleshoe Cottage. Surroundings were peaceful and relaxing, with an abundance of public footpaths and walks on the doorstep. Just what we were looking for. Garden was spacious & enclosed, which was great for the dog. The cottage was clean & tidy, with all the little details thought of. Jane was a great host and very responsive. I would highly recommend.”

“A well-appointed cottage in beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Very peaceful location but with local towns nearby. Highly recommended for anybody visiting the area. Jane is a wonderfully helpful host. 5 stars all round 😀”

“The cottage is excellent! The setting is lovely and the rooms are spacious. Downstairs, it has a super fitted kitchen with everything you need, quality appliances and double doors onto a well kept quiet garden with outdoor table and chairs. Plus loads of additional items throughout which make it a really superb experience. Upstairs, it has a comfortable king size bed and excellent ensuite, with a walk-in shower, separate shower head, heated towel rail and the softest towels! Plus another separate bathroom and twin bedroom. Jane is a super, quick to respond, host. I can thoroughly recommend this cottage and we hope to return in the future.”

“We had a most fabulous long weekend in the well appointed cottage which is situated in the beautiful, calm and peaceful wolds countryside. It was equipped to a high standard and met all of our needs. The outdoor seating and beautiful garden worked particularly well in tandem with the kitchen. We were blessed with wall-to-wall sunshine, but even in the heat, the cottage remained a cool oasis. We hope to return again next year.”

“We loved this place. It’s a beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place. It’s very rural, just a step across the road to a public footpath and some great walks around the area. The house was very well equipped and stocked with more than the usual. There is a great local pub about 5/6 mins drive away, you can reach lots of other surrounding villages in 15-20 mins and a trip to the beach at Mablethorpe is about 25/30 mins. If you are interested, raf Conningsby is close by and the Lincolnshire aviation centre. This was a wonderful place for what we wanted and a great price too. Would definitely recommend Thanks Jane!”

“Excellent cottage. Very clean and comfortable. Extremely peaceful. Would definitely recommend. We had a very relaxing week.”

“A lovely, peaceful spot in the Lincolnshire Wolds where we were able to rest and unwind from the pressures of everyday life. The Cowshed was clean, cosy and just perfect for our 3 night stay. We will definitely return and explore the location more!”

“Such a tranquil setting we felt so relaxed staying here. Beautiful countryside walks and Jane is a lovely host.”

“An excellent Cottage. Lovely decor and well equipped”

“This was a very special place to stay. The house was light, airy spacious and very comfortable. There is a good sized pretty garden. Somersby itself is a haven of peace and stunning countryside. Jane was an excellent host and was very responsive to any queries. I would highly recommend this wonderful property.”

“The photos don't do thus cottage justice. it's spacious, comfortable, fully equipped, spotless and has a fantastic outdoor space. The village is amazingly peaceful. The cottage has a homely atmosphere that makes you just want to chill out.”

“What a delightful holiday cottage. Some of the photos on the listing actually didn't do it justice. There were more amenities within the cottage than we expected that made our stay even better - almost home from home. The extra treats that Jane provided was a lovely touch, too. We were impressed with Jane's prompt and friendly response with an issue we had which was quickly solved. The cottage itself is situated in a very quiet and peaceful area. It was lovely to wake up to the delightful sounds of birds and .. nothing else - wonderful!”

“We all loved the cottage; the photos look good, but the reality is much better. Also all the equipment, bed linen, towels etc. were of a great standard & everything was clean & tidy. Great place to stay, cannot recommend any higher.”

“A perfect stay, by far the best experience staying as a guest with air b n b. Loved it 🤩”

“Lovely cottage. So peaceful and relaxing. Just what we needed. Beautiful Dorma bedding and the water pressure was fantastic. Enclosed garden, superb for our dogs. So hope to return in the near future as I so needed that break. Loved the milk, eggs and hot cross buns. So thoughtful.”

“Lovely relaxing quiet place to stay.”

“It is the 4th time we have stayed in the cottage which speaks for itself . We love the cottage, the area and the peaceful surroundings. We will be back. 😁”

“This is our second time staying at Candleshoe Cottage. We loved it so much we decided to come for Christmas. The location is idyllic and the house is cosy, beautiful, spotless, thoughtfully stocked with everything you need and perfectly set up for my well-behaved pooch. We highly recommend staying at Candleshoe Cottage.”

“What a wonderful place Candleshoe Cottage is - it looked great on the photos but was actually even better in real life. It was just what we wanted as it was so cosy, full of everything you could possibly need and set in a stunning and peaceful location. The icing on the cake was when it snowed as it then became something truly magical - would highly recommend and we wouldn’t hesitate to visit again. Thank you for a wonderful stay Jane.”

“We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, and has everything you could need. The location is very peaceful; perfect for visiting Lincoln and the coast, and for walking on the Wolds. Can't recommend it highly enough.”

“This was such a lovely place to stay! The cottage was well presented, clean & homely. The kitchen was well equipped & great to cook in. The treats provided were very much appreciated! The cottage is in a great location for walking in the Lincoln Wolds. I'd thoroughly recommend Candleshoe Cottage as a place to stay.”

“The property far exceeded expectations. Beautifully presented and spotless. Fabulous location.”

“Go not, happy day, From the shinning fields Go not, happy day, Till the maiden yield’s A truly idyllic cottage set in the beautiful Lincolnshire countryside.”

“I'm so glad I've had the chance to give Jane a review, as I couldn't find a pen this morning to write in the visitors book! I loved our stay and Candleshoe cottage is a credit to Jane - spotless, with lovely touches and a welcome surprise of a plum loaf in the fridge - delicious!”

“Probably the best AirBnB we’ve stayed in in the UK. Spotlessly cleaned, beautifully presented, tastefully decorated and with a modern kitchen with all the utensils you’d need. The house is located in a very peaceful hamlet (the history of which was really interesting), has its own beautiful and private garden and off-road parking. It’s a 30 mins drive to the coast and 40 mins to Lincoln. The beds are lovely (and in the case of the main one - enormous!), the showers and bathrooms are fantastic and the sitting room was perfect to relax in during our evenings. We can’t recommend Jane’s cottage highly enough. It was a delight.”

“wonderful cottage absolutely perfect really comfortable cottage to stay in”

“A lovely, peaceful stay in a fabulous cottage. The most comfortable bed, amazing shower & secluded garden. Well equipped, really appreciated the extras & the dogs loved it too. Easy to access local walks, saw lots of wildlife & chilled out. Perfect for a get away from it all break.”

“Beautiful private property in a tranquil location ,not far from all the amenities that would be required but still set in a private location ,everything needed at the property was spot on ,beautiful clean property have rebooked again ,definantley reccomended”

“The Cowshed was a pretty spot and conveniently located for us”

“This is a beautiful cottage in absolutely gorgeous surroundings. There are plenty of walks, some of which include a pub! No traffic apart from the occasional tractor and horses. A beautiful little garden. Overall a really relaxing place to stay.”

“The Cowshed is a gem of a cottage. A lovely location with perfect views. Comfortable and cosy cottage with all the facilities required.”

“Candleshoe Cottage is a lovely home from home in a peaceful and private location. Jane the host has equipped the cottage very well, it's clean and cosy atmosphere relax you as soon as you walk through the door. For our stay, it was just what we wanted and we would really like to visit again in the warmer months.”

“Lovely weekend stay, The Cowshed was very cozy and relaxing. Jane was a great host with good communications.”

“A great find. Beautiful cottage in a quiet peaceful hamlet . Lots of space, well appointed and comfortable. Comfortable beds . Powerful shower in the en-suite . Lovely enclosed garden for the dogs to run around in too. The cottage is within 30 mins drive to all the sandy beaches of Mablethorpe, Sutton on Sea , Anderby Creek , so is very well placed. Jane was a responsive host to any queries that we had. Wifi was good and a large smart tv a bonus in the evenings. Thank you for the welcome goodies - the plum bread was delicious 😋. Would definitely recommend and we will be booking again.”

“Great accommodation, everything we needed and more. Would definitely recommend as a great self catering cottage”

“Candleshoe cottage is beautiful just like the pictures and absolutely spotless. The amenities were amazing (water pressure is immense & I've never even seen a Bluetooth mirror before!). The cottage is set in stunning surroundings with the most peaceful and picturesque walks all around. That I could bring my dog Riley just made our break perfect. Jane made sure we found the place and that we had everything we needed. Jane provided some welcome bits and pieces in the fridge which were a lovely touch. I'm keen to book again.”

“Had a wonderful stay in the Cowshed. Perfect location, lovely spacious accommodation, and I agree with others, the bed was super-comfortable. We will go back for sure.”

“Delightful cottage tucked away in a lovely setting - and despite the torrential July rain, we would happily return! Thank you, Jane”

“very nice accommodation, convenient for the Wolds and coast. Close to cinema in Woodhall Spa, and shipping in Alford and Louth. The Splash Pub is also a must.”

“A lovely cottage in a very quiet hamlet in a beautiful part of the country. The cottage has everything you would need and the Lincolnshire plum bread was a delicious and welcome surprise. Lots to do and see both countryside and coast. Our stay was too short.”

“Can't fault the Cow Shed and would recommended it if you want to get away from it all. It's very comfortable, spotlessly clean, wonderful countryside and the silence is deafening.”

“Lovely location and very comfortable!”

“The Cowshed is the perfect stay for those looking for a quiet, rural piece of the English countryside...the location is fantastic, lovely walks nearby and views all around. Easy access to coast and Wolds alike. The Cowshed is furnished and equipped very well and has everything needed for a stay, the highlights being a stunning bed and a great powerful shower!. Would definately return here.”

“The cowshed is the perfect spot for a getaway, and we had a really relaxing time. The huge bed was really comfy (we brought our own bedding because of my feather allergies, but that was ok!), and the kitchen well equipped. We enjoyed some glorious walks in the countryside and hunkering down with books, food, wine and movies. I think we’ll be back!”

“We had a wonderful time. The Cowshed and the surrounding countryside were beautiful! The welcome pack of bread, milk, butter and eggs was most thoughtful. Jane was very quick to respond when I had a question about our arrival.”

“Lovely place to stay with a ginormous, fantastic bed. The living room is large, there is a dining table as well as a place to sit outside and eat. The kitchen has everything you need to cook your own meals. Jane had left bread, milk, eggs and butter which gave us a nice light meal in the evening our first night there. There was oil and salt as well as tea, coffee and sugar. The WiFi worked brilliantly and the tv was nice for the evenings. I recommend the cowshed as a place to stay.”

“We had a lovely few days in this comfortable, clean, well-equipped cottage. Everything was as described in terms of the facilities and the bed was the most comfortable (and largest) we've had in the many properties we stayed in around the country. An ideal 'get-away-from-it-all' retreat.”

“This is from my mum and dad: Lovely welcome of basic food (milk, bread etc). Very clean and quiet with pretty garden space. We really enjoyed our stay.”

“A nice cottage in a very quiet secluded location ideal for exploring the area, or just rambling around the local footpaths and lanes.”

“This is the third time we have stayed at Jane's place and will certainly return again. It is so peaceful yet close to other amenities.”

“The place was lovely, highly recommended!”

“The cowshed is a beautiful and idyllic getaway from the busyness of the city. We had a amazing stay and did a couple of very nice walks including a walk to Snipe Dales national park. The kitchen is very well equipped, the welcome pack was generous (bacon, eggs, butter, small milk and bread) and the cottage perfect!! We actually went by public transport - the train to Lincoln, interconnect bus to Horncastle and the little bus to Louth and then a 20 minute walk to Somersby. Obviously a car would be easier but doable. Thankyou for such a nice holiday - I feel so relaxed!! :)”

“This accommodation is situated in an idyllic spot and is ideal for a relaxing holiday. I would highly recommend Jane's place whether it is for a romantic break or just to get away from it all.”

“Spacious, clean cottage. Great internet and plenty of hot water for the shower. Easy to use washing machine. Highly recommended.”

“Somersby is an utterly tranquil spot in the Lincolnshire Wolds and we loved our stay in the Cowshed, a delightful, fully equipped cottage. Country walks are on your doorstep and the market towns of Louth and Horncastle are only a short drive away.”

“The Cow Shed is a delightful, comfortable, fully equipped cottage in a tiny historic village in the Lincolnshire Wolds. Everything you will ever need is provided including a welcome pack of bread, butter, bacon, milk, eggs etc. There is a huge comfy bed with quality linen and a lovely sitting room with comfortable seating. The cottage was perfectly situated for us to explore Lincolnshire and the host provides a comprehensive folder full of information regarding things to do and see. We definitely recommend The Cow Shed”

“A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location with some beautiful walks for myself and the dog”

“The Cowshed is a fantastic find! Just near to the church in Somersby and a rural idyl. Great facilities, clean and tidy and well equipped. Jane was very easy to communicate with and the accommodation itself is ideal as a base for exploring the Wolds, Tennyson country and the Lincolnshire coast. Highly recommend!”

“We found Jane's place, the Cowshed, to be very spacious, clean and relaxing. Though it is in a quiet small village you aren't far off an excellent cafe, meat suppliers and restaurant, all found on the A158 at Harrington. The cafe and meat suppliers are found by turning left on the A158 just a few hundred yards down the road on your right side and the restaurant is found by turning right on the A158 just a few hundred yards down the road. Apart from the tranquil area the broadband speeds are acceptable so if you really do need to stay connected you can. All in all it was a very enjoyable experience and we certainly hope to stay again, especially when the weather gets warmer. Thankyou Jane”

“Perfect location for a 'get away from it all' break - beautiful countryside and great walking. Not far from small towns of Spilsby and Horncastle where there are pubs, restaurants and shops - you will need a car though. Hosts leave you alone if that is your wish but we're on hand if needed. Wi-Fi was excellent and allowed us to keep in touch..”

“3rd visit and all as good as ever”

“Jane was very accommodating and fitted us in at short notice.”

“extremely peaceful away from it all place”

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful area of the Lincolnshire Wolds, but also just a short drive to some lovely beaches. A perfect stay.”

“If you want a secluded getaway this place is perfect. We spent Christmas here and it was bliss to get away from our normal busy lives. We could not fault the cowshed in anyway and it was well equipped and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. We cooked our Christmas Dinner there and had everything we needed. The bed was large and comfortable and the bath and shower were very good. We had our dogs with us and there were lots of walks locally. We also went into Lincoln on Christmas Eve which was about 40 minutes away and a charming city. All contact with the host was prompt and helpful. Highly recommend.”

“What a fabulous place! So secluded and peaceful. Amazing welcome pack - fresh bread, butter, milk and bacon and eggs! The bath is so big I (6ft) could lay down flat. Ahhh!”

“Very quiet and peaceful. The best place to unplug, unwind and totally relax. Accommodation was clean and exactly as described. Everything you need to chill and relax in the country. Will recommend and will definitely be going back!! Me and my partner cant praise it enough.”

“A wonderful place to stay away from hassle and bustle. Perfect for those who like to return to a bit of serenity. On top of that the place is well equipped and clean.”

“Thank you we had a lovely holiday, the cottage was situated in a extremely quite location, beautiful cottage, very clean, supplies left in fridge were gratefully received, would happily stay again if in the area.”

“Very peaceful and relaxing get-away. Ideally located for those wanting to walk and see the Lincolnshire Wolds. The welcome treats that Jane left in the fridge were much appreciated, a nice touch. A really good cottage to stay at.”

“Jane has been very flexible and accommodating as we've changed our plans due to a family bereavement. Thank you!”

“what a delightful location, I must say we were blown away by the tranquility and surroundings of what must be described as a bygone England, we felt most comfortable visiting the surrounding towns and declare that we have fallen in love with the Lincolnshire Wolds. The Cowshed was all we could have hoped for and had the best welcome pack we have ever experienced on our frequent trips, if you are seeking to unwind and live how life should be lived for a short time then don't delay in visiting this little diamond...you will not regret it!”

“The cowshed is in a beautiful location, with lovely views of a gorgeous countryside and wildlife. Its rural tranquillity is superb, very relaxing and nicely quiet. We really felt that we had got away from the hustle bustle and horrible concrete buildings of city life! We had everything we needed, and the generous welcome pack was excellent and more than we expected! Really very kind. We have only praise to offer and most definitely recommend to anyone considering this venue and we look forward to a return visit.”

“We had a lovely time at the 'Cowshed', it is a pretty, quiet and comfy cottage with all you need for a self catering holiday. The 'welcome pack' of food was much appreciated. Any questions we had were quickly answered by our contact, Sue. We would love to return at some point, there is a lot to see in the area, and I do not think we could find a better cottage to base ourselves in.”

“There was a really useful welcome pack with everything that you could possibly need for the first night. The property was very clean and welcoming, every utility that you might need was there, all you needed to do, was kick off your shoes and open a bottle of wine and relax, either outside or in front of the TV. Set in beautiful countryside with some wonderful walks right from the front door, it could not have been better and I am sure that we will return, as so many other people seem to have done already!!”

“Lovely little cottage in a very quiet setting. Jane was always quick to reply to questions and we will definitely consider staying again when we come back to this part of the UK.”

“I did not have the pleasure of meeting Jane or the caretaker, but the Cowshed was a very nice property with beautiful views. It is nestled in the quaint (and small) village of Somersby. The cottage was found exactly as it was described.”
