    House is on 3 levels so lots of stairs. This was OK for us but if mobility problems this would be an issue.

    Location excellent:) information from Susan was brilliant, where to park and parking permit provided. On arrival milk was provided and coffee machine with pods, biscuits, bread in freezer. Even bowls of sweets. Cleaning equipment provided ,shampoo, conditioner. Situated just a stones throw away from Lincoln Castle.

    A really superb and comfortable historic cottage in a wonderful location with amazing views of the Castle and the Cathedral. Facilities were excellent with just about every piece of kitchen equipment you could possibly imagine provided. Susan was very helpful with any queries and I really appreciated being able to check in early on a cold and wet day! Highly recommended.

    Appreciate that it was out of the owners control but dissapointing to find terraced property next door was undergoing major alterations resulting in workmen and corresponding noise during the day. Luckily we were out of the property for most of this time. Feel we should have been warned about this before we arrived but didn't detract from our stay.

    Location was ideal being very close to the cathedral, castle and Steep Hill. It was quite quirky in a good way with a comfortable double bed on the 3rd floor. Also liked the extra touches like shampoos, bubble bath, Espresso machine, milk in the fridge so owners had gone the extra mile.

    Nothing. Please note the stairs are steep as will be stated by the hosts description: but even with significant arthritis in my left knee I was able to manage them.

    The location is perfect. We parked our car and didn't drive it. We used the visitor parking permit provided by the host for the whole 3 days we were at the cottage parking just 50 m from the property after dropping off our luggage at the front door. Everything we wanted or needed was within 800-1000m walking. The cottage was well presented and offered perfect accommodation for 2 people.

    The stairs from ground floor (where kitchen is) to first floor (where lounge / dining room is) are very steep and quite narrow, so transporting meals upstairs was a bit of a chore, but other than that, it’s a lovely property.

    Fantastic location. A minutes walk to Lincoln Castle and Lincoln Cathedral. Lovely little cottage property, with delightful decor, and very well equipped kitchen.

    I don't have any complaints at all about Castle View Cottage, but I will say that has two steep staircases that are not for every level of ability. That said, the Cathedral and the Castle are at the top of a steep walk (and both of those attractions offer climbs up their medieval steps to see views of surrounding Lincolnshire) so in this regard, the steps at Castle View Cottage are in keeping with Lincoln's personality and aesthetic generally.

    This is an exceptional property in an incredible place. It is a leisurely minute's stroll away from the Cathedral and the Castle - both of which can be seen from the windows of the living area. The 18th century building has been filled with modern design and comforts, a well-equipped kitchen (we cooked dinner twice, and went out for dinner twice in our neighbourhood) and two well-equipped bathrooms, one of which has a gorgeous claw-foot bathtub. The bed was heavenly - we slept beautifully every night. You will find yourself taking pictures of the interior and the view from the window. In a crowded and competitive market, it's hard to stand out from the rest. Castle View Cottage definitely does. It added a touch of magic to our Lincoln visit and we were sorry to leave it.

    What a fantastic weekend away for my birthday! Susan left me a bottle of wine on arrival and gave us a late check out so we could venture out before home time. The cottage is exactly where we wanted to be, within close proximity to the bars and eateries but still peaceful enough to get a great nights sleep. Everything went smoothly and the courteous call was lovely. The parking permit was very handy for the weekend and we had no problems finding a parking spot. The cottage is clean and tidy with everything you need for a break away, the patio was perfect for catching a few rays and the views of the castle are spectacular. We would love to return in the future.
