60 and a half Bailgate

This gorgeous little house was slap bang in the centre of the Bailgate area. Private and secluded tucked away behind a secure gate just steps from beautiful little boutiques, coffee shops and restaurants. 2 minutes walk from the cathedral and the castle. Through the skylight window in the main bedroom whilst lying in bed you can see the illuminated spires of the cathedral. The little house was quirky and sweet Well equipped and clean. Beds were comfy with lovely bedding. Great communication from the host. We were met at the start and sed a key box for exit. The photos on Booking.com do not do this lovely house justice.

Sofas could have been bigger and more comfy. I stayed over Christmas so lounging on a comfy sofa would have been nice.

The location is amazing and there are some beautiful views from the property. You can see the cathedral from three windows from the property which is lovely. Both bedrooms have a view which is great and the beds are really comfy. Loved the easy access to historic Lincoln. We visited the Cathedral and Bishop's Palace which are both great places to look round (also can get 25% off the Bishops Palace with a leaflet in the Tourist Information centre). The security of the property. Love having the gate and privacy the property offers. Also it's very quiet here but easy access to plenty of places to eat and drink. We had lunch at the cathedral cafe, Bunty's tea room, Lion & Snake, The Magna Carta and the Wig and Mitre, all were excellent meals and very good service. There's also a couple of bakeries close by and shops within a 10 minute walk.

The rooms were a little bit too sparse, especially the smaller bedroom which only offers one bedside cabinet and a rail. A simple chest of drawers in each rooms would be handy to just store a few essentials during the visit. The same with the living room, could do with another little table for the sofas. This would just make these rooms even better during the stay. While not an issue for ourselves, the stairs can be a little daunting. They are very creaky and one of the bedrooms comes out directly into the first step down and was rather concerning you could just fall down the stairs. If I was there with young or elderly guests, I'd be a little concerned. There are also steps into most rooms- small bedroom, toilet, kitchen and dining area which could be an issue for someone with mobility problems. While not the hosts fault, the garden was a little overgrown, which Rachel explained to us and did not stop us from enjoying the garden at all, and the outside bin already had a bag of rubbish in it so by the end of the holiday, we had a very full bin. All of these things did not take away from the charm of the location, property and how safe and quiet the location was which are two of the most important things for us when picking a location.

Location, quirkiness , privacy, free marking after six o clock

Toilet downstairs and just off the main lounge was a bit of a pain, but everything that's good makes up for it, overall a great property in an absolutely laaaaaaavly location.

Brilliant location. Very well equipped. Cosy & warm in the winter.

People with limited mobility might find the stairs a bit tricky.

The location is fabulous on the bailgate. Very cute garden entrance. Very secure little cottage.

Host was cooperative and very good in behaviour
