Hougoumont Farm

The Location was excellent. We visited Cadwell Park, Louth and it was only a few miles from the East Coast. Perfect for us. The self serve continental breakfast was just right and a lovely surprise as we didn't expect it. The wifi was also included for free. Billy Jean is a lovely lady and made us very welcome and comfortable. We would certainly stay there again. Thanks Billy Jean.

There was nothing we didn't like, but maybe the addition of a suitcase stand in the room would help some people.

We stayed at Church Farm to attend an event at Cadwell Park which was a 15 minute drive away. Our host was very attentive and keen to make sure we enjoyed our stay at her home. We had exclusive use of a large part of a very well equipped house. There was the added bonus of a very good pub serving excellent food a 5 minute walk away

Absolutely stunning location and a lovely warm welcome from the host. A beautiful property. We stayed in the garden room which was very large, we also have access to a guest lounge and outside seating area, there was a breakfast area serving a grab and go breakfast with cereals, croissants et cetera, perfect for our needs on this stay. Plenty of room to park our van the property was spotlessly clean. There was a pub just down the road which sold excellent food at reasonable prices.

My advice would be for the host to pack a bag for a couple of days and stay in the room. The room needs furniture to put things on like your bags. There was one small chest of drawers that had the tea making facilities on. Other than that, you have to use the floor so we found ourselves with our clothes on the floor as there was no wardrobe there was one hook with a few hangers on it. In the morning whilst drinking our tea there was no bedside table to put the tea on. Having had a shower, there was nowhere to hang the wet towels. toiletries went on the window ledge. Also, there was no TV personal preference I know. We stayed in the garden room which has the boiler for the whole property in the corner. The first night was spent with that noisy clicking on and off. The second night it was silent.

The location was amazing,only 10 minutes from Cadwell Park Billie was so helpful nothing too much trouble communication was excellent Breakfast was really good as you could help yourself no time limits. The garden was simply beautiful,we sat outside for breakfast. A great pub walking distance in the village for dinner , everyone very friendly. Would highly recommend and we will be back

My only complaint was not enough furniture in the room .perhaps another chair to put clothes on ,dressing table with a mirror . A cupboard to hang clothes in. There were coat hangers which was good . Apart from that nothing to complain about it was excellent.. Would certainly love to come back to stay .

The host Billie was welcoming and very helpful. I loved the location, quiet village setting 5 mins walk to a great pub The property had a relaxed ambience, with spacious rooms and lovely courtyard beautifully decorated and furnished The parking area was huge and secure but the deep gravel could be an issue for less experienced motorcyclists. The area near the rear wall was the firmest place for parking on a sidestand. I liked the help yourself breakfast/take away brunch, lots of choice and the courtyard and dining hall were perfect placees to eat and perhaps meet your fellow guests. The lounge area was beautiful and very relaxing and comfortable and I appreciated there was no tv The bedroom (Lillies) was beautifully furnished and accessorised The shower in the newly fitted en suite was exceptional and the toiletries were exactly what I have at home. My other half very much appreciated the whole tin of coffee as he always compains about the sachets being hard to open, before hes had his waking up coffee boost.

In the room there were a ciuple of minor things that would be an improvement, but I assume that it has recently been refurbished and perhaps not quite complete yet. A seperate shelf/table for the kettle etc would be better. A couple of hooks near the shower for the towels would also be useful The mattress was too soft and springy for my personal taste.

Billie was very accommodating, welcoming and friendly. Being a vegan she made sure I have all I need which was great!
