We had a brilliant time at Ostlers Cottage, the walk to Heckington Windmill was great and the cafe
We had a brilliant time at Ostlers Cottage, the walk to Heckington Windmill was great and the cafe / brewery there had good choice and was reasonably priced. Lots of places to eat close by and walks for the doggo. The owners were really helpful, we thoroughly recommend and hope to return.

Beautifully converted cottage.
Beautifully converted cottage. Everything was spotless, we felt relaxed as soon as we arrived. The welcome gifts were so thoughtful and unexpected. The walks around the cottage were lovely and the four pubs within walking distance were all welcoming. Hot tub was huge, clean and just what we needed. The cottage was already at the perfect temperature so the log burner wasn’t needed for heat but gave great comfort and made the cottage even cosier. The beds were superb- so comfortable. We had all the utensils in the kitchen that we needed, but could benefit from an extra cupboard for food storage. Having said that- we had enough for 3 nights. We will definitely return.
