An absolutely superb stay at a quiet, secluded, little cottage.
An absolutely superb stay at a quiet, secluded, little cottage. Everything was fantastic from the hot tub to the delicious homemade Victoria sponge and bread!
The only reason I put 9 for the comfort and not 10 is down to personal preference, as we are used to a memory foam mattress and the spring mattress was a little different.
Louise and Tim were fantastic hosts, and I’m really pleased we decided to stay here!

The best holiday! So much to do and to come home from a day out to a beautiful cottage tops it all off. Owners went above and beyond, couldn’t have asked for anything more, especially appreciative that they helped us out when we had car troubles on our departure date with them doing everything to help and finally got us on the road, absolutely wonderful couple and we can’t wait to return.

Lovely cottage and hosts! Louise & Tim have thought of everything to make both humans and doggies enjoy their stay. Cake, bread and wine for us and some lovely home baked treats for the pups! We enjoyed it so much, that we are already thinking of booking our return trip. We were fortunate with the weather meaning we explored the local areas and even managed to get to a lovely quiet beach for the dogs to run around on. Woodhall spa is a lovely town and and has an amazing bakery/deli that you must try. Oh and clear nights meant an amazing view of the stars in the sky as we relaxed in the hot tub. if you're visiting the area, look no further than Wits End Cottage :)

We had a great week here. the cottage was lovely and had everything we needed for the week. Our dogs were very happy and also had a great time. On arrival we received a lovely welcome pack and Louise was there to greet us. The local area is great and we had plenty to do both in the cottage and the surrounding area. Perfect for a couples get away.

A fantastic cottage with all the comforts of home and more. The Jacuzi was perfect for relaxing in at the end of the day and it was kept spotlessly clean, the water was checked twice a day. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the home made bread and cake on arrival was just perfect. Can not fault this cottage. It's perfect.

We’ve stayed in 20+ 4/5* cottages and this is one of the very best. Excellent throughout with all you could need. The jacuzzi is truly private. A perfect place for a romantic break. Limited amenities in walking distance but there’s plenty only a short drive away. The owners are superb and the welcome pack is the best we’ve ever had (home made mince pies, bread, wine, eggs, milk, butter and Xmas cake). Also, great communication before arrival with a genuine commitment to making your stay enjoyable and memorable. We will be back :-)

A much needed ‘quiet’ getaway for our anniversary & a very welcome break from work.
Perfect & just what we needed, the hot tub was so relaxing, everything in the cottage was like a home from home. Local pub ‘Ebrington Arms’ 1 mile away great food & beer, other places to eat in or takeaway in Horncastle 10-15mins away, lots of places to visit within 15 miles.
A lovely touch was the homemade bread & cake on our arrival.
Thanks Louise & Tim, good luck for the future, we’ll be back xx

Wow this cottage is fabulous .
Wow this cottage is fabulous .it has everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable. Louise and Tim were the perfect hosts and left us a lovely welcome pack to help us on our way. They couldn't do enough for us but also they gave us the space to relax and chill which we certainly did. The hot tub was awesome and certainly helped us to chill and would probably have used it more but the temperature this last week hit 35 degrees so was a tad hot. The cottage is tucked just behind the owners thatched roofed cottage which is beautiful and just off the road but close enough to drive to nearby villages like woodhall spa and horncastle . There's a gorgeous little tea room in the woods in woodhall spa and a kinema we'll worth a visit . We were so impressed with the cottage and location and the fact that we were so relaxed that we have already booked to go back again next year . You certainly won't be disappointed. It's a credit to the owners .

Gorgeous rural cottage so peaceful and quiet ideal for a relaxing break. Everything you could want for your stay is there. The welcome pack is fab, bread milk cake to die for tea sugar coffee etc. The hot tub is so well looked after and is so relaxing. Even looked at purchasing one myself . This was our second stay and will definately be making a third visit. Tim and Louise are so welcoming, nothing is too much trouble for them. If you're looking for a relaxing break then I recommend wits end cottage you won't be disappointed xx
