The Big Splash Reviews

The property is great, immaculately clean with everything you need. The location is good and close to Lincoln which is a short drive away. It was too cold for us to use the pool but the hot tub was just what we needed. Fresh eggs , mini brownies and a jug of milk was waiting for us. The only downside is the check in time of 4pm as when you are only there for a weekend or short break, it feels like a lost day. I appreciate that the property needs preparing for the next guest but from check out at 10am to 4pm is a long period. To get in from 2pm would give that little bit more time especially in winter when it is dark early. I imagine in summer it is fantastic having the pool.

Alison

Excellent property and a lovely host! Everything on site for a truly memorable stay. We look forward to returning again soon.

Deborah

Fabulous we will definitely book again

Barbara

Myself and my family spent a week at The Big Splash Cottage. Its an exceptional clean holiday home. we had a happy stay and its truely a lovely place to have a holiday. We where welcomed with homemade brownies, milk and a bottle of Prosecco. All information clearly provided regarding amenities within the cottage and Robin the owner very helpful friendly and accommodating during our stay. Helped us make a cosy fire and found a family members ring that was lost in the pool. Would highly recommend this property, its fantastic. Bedding felt fresh like new, towels and fans provided, beds very comfortable, children loved bunk beds and walk in shower brilliant. parking available outside cottage and felt very safe and secure. Everything we needed was provided. Swimming pool & Hot Tub additional highlights and sitting area was wonderful and grandchildren played in pool for hours. Will be returning next year. The cottage itself charming and very comfortable, perfect. 10 out of 10, amazing. Many thanks. Barbara

We loved the accommodation especially the en suite shower room which was very useful and the underfloor heating was an added bonus.

We have just come back from a fantastic week at the big splash. The property is lovely and cosy and just the perfect base the kids loved the pool and we loved the hot tub. But the real great part is the hostess Robin! We were greeted with home baked treats she took the time to show my son her hens and nothing was too much we had a fantastic time and we will definitely be booking again!

The Big Splash is a fantastic place to stay with young children as there is so much to keep them entertained in the outside space. My little boy fell in love with the chickens, he spent hours outside with them and enjoyed the responsibility of putting them to bed. Helpful tips from Robin especially free parking! and we'll definitely try forest school next time. A few small improvements would be black out blinds, a quieter boiler and finding another spot for the maintenance trailer as this did effect our first impression. Lincoln is beautiful and there is plenty nearby to amuse the little ones. Ol, Ol is a fantastic restaurant choice

Christine

Easily my favourite holiday cottage place to stay so far. This is my 3rd stay at The Big Splash and once again it didn't fail to give a great time. The host Robin and her team headed by Kathy made sure that I was made to feel welcome, and I was. I was greeted with lovely fresh eggs from Robin's hens, some other goodies and beautiful spring flowers. I travel alone so being made to feel welcome and feeling safe are important to me and The Big splash delivered once again. The peacefulness and fresh air are such a tonic as are the bird song in the morning utterly delightful.

Christine

The thoughtfulness and hospitality of Robin, Fred and Cathy really made my 2 week stay with them lovely and enjoyable. Nothing was too much effort for them. Upon arrival the property was nice and warm, with chocolate brownies and other goodies to welcome me. The bed is reeeeally comfy and the kitchen was well equipped. The outdoor pool and hot tub were kept nice and clean even though I didn't use them. This is a rural property with nothing but the bird song and a few neighbours, which I loved, yet Lincoln is only about 15 minutes away, Doddington Hall with cafe and farm shop are nearby, and the famous old fashioned Upton Chippery is just a short drive away. There's lots of villages nearby to explore and on weekdays you can watch the Red Arrows fly over as they practice. I've had many stays in holiday cottages and in my experience its very apparent when a cottage is just an income for the host, or if like here at The Big Splash where your enjoyment really is a priority for the Host and her team. I'll be back.

Jennifer

Fantastic place, spacious, well equipped and really clean and comfortable. Lovely quiet location with easy access into Lincoln. Lovely personal touches from the owner too. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Would definitely come back. Great location very close to Lincoln, lovely host and very clean and tidy.

A fantastic holiday house! The pool and hot tub were amazing. The house had everything we needed and more. The children had a brilliant time in the garden, feeding the chickens, playing tennis and climbing on the big tree. The owner was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely look to book this house again for next year!

Ashley

We absolutely loved The Big Splash. Private pool, Tennis courts, Basketball ring and Chickens for fresh eggs! Robyn was a delightful host and got involved playing with the kids. The house itself was very nicely finished and very clean We hope to return as soon as we can. We also had a lovely family next door and our kids played together the whole time while the adults chat. Honestly the best location and stay I've had in the UK also Lincoln is a beautiful place to visit nearby. Really recommend. The pool was much larger than I expected.

The property was a real home from home, comfortable, peaceful and had everything we needed for a relaxing week away. The pool, hot tub & tennis courts were a real boon especially with the weather being so good. From feeding the chickens in the morning & listening to the owls and other wildlife at night, watching the house martins fledge, hearing the buzzards screech & watching the bats soar in the evenings it really was a wonderful week. Topped off with a day in Lincoln visiting the Magna Carta & Victorian Prison & walking the castle walls with lunch at Ol Ol, it was so perfect that weve already booked again!!!

Amanda

A very well equipped property. Located in a lovely area. The pool was fantastic the shaded area in the garden was great. The chicken eggs in a morning were beaut. Robin the owner is such a lovely, thoughtfull lady. She goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is just perfect. Carnt wait to return next year

Graeme

A lovely property and well equipped with everything you will need. The owner is also on hand if anything else is required. If anything, this property's amenities are undersold!! Can't fault it at all. Private hot tub is perfect too. Well placed for travelling around the Lincolnshire area. Would definitely return.

Jordan

Super holiday super accommodating owner. Booked again

Andrew

We stayed here in Easter 2022. This was our first experience of Lincoln. We absolutely loved it! The Big Splash was the perfect size for our large family. Our 17 year old loved having the downstairs room and en suite to himself The younger children loved the triple bunk and the Fire Fighter theme. Lovely little touches throughout the property such as the Imp Hunt, the delicious brownies, bottle of fizz, log burner and luxury private hot tub, made this stay one of our favourite family holidays. Robin was nothing but helpful and kind. She always had fun jobs and activities for the children to do which was not expected at all but we were so thankful and grateful for them. It just helped us to relax and enjoy our stay all the more. ElizabethBuffy, our youngest, soon became very fond of Robin and are now besties and pen pals. We have our summer holiday planned already to come here again. Thank you Robin xxx

We had a fantastic weekend at the Big splash. When we arrived Robin had left some homemade chocolate brownies and honey, which went down a treat . The location was great only 10 mins from Lincoln city centre We will definitely be returning.

The cottage was beautiful, it was a really luxury stay. The hot tub was a lovely addition. There were chickens in the garden & we collected the eggs everyday which was fun. The pool looked amazing, wed love to come back in the summer to enjoy it and have a bbq out there!

Really good property with lots to do would definitely stop again

Natalie

Wonderful stay, the property is comfortable and spacious, we enjoyed using the hot tub and the owner Robin was very thoughtful and helpful, from leaving us fresh eggs, brownies and prosecco and offering us extra bedding for a visiting friend. 1010

Hannah

Lovely cottage. Very cleanmodern. Owners were very accommodating with small children. Special occasion so balloons and Prosecco was a lovely gesture.

The property was super, location was extremely private and the Hot tub was amazing, the swimming pool was a bonus but a bit to cold to go in we did know it wasn't heated this time of year before we booked so was not bothered but people were still playing in it, altogether we had an amazing break and would certainly recommend and book again, thankyou.

Wonderful time and the host was always on hand and very helpful with local advice as well as any issues around the property. A joy to visit thanks you

Nice property in a quiet location, well equipped. Think the property would benefit from having thermostats on individual radiators as they seem to be either off or on and very hot when on, too hot to touch particularly for children. The house was really too warm if the radiators were on but too cool if off.

The stunning grounds are abundant with wildlife as well as beautiful flora and fauna and there is no better place for a summer picnic. There is also plenty of open space for children to run around. The Deer park is sure to be a big hit with the children with herds of fallow deer to spot.

Rushmoor Country Park - GU10 1ET

about 26 Miles

Located in Louth in Lincolnshire this is an ideal attraction when you want to get out in the fresh air and explore. There are many animals to see including ponies and piglets which the little ones love. There are also some amazing birds from hawks and falcons to owls. Most aspects of this attraction are included in the admission cost and as well as wandering around you get to hold and feed the animals too. A real highlight are the micro pigs which are just like real pigs but in miniature. Fully grown they are around the size of a spaniel! If you get hungry then you can take your own picnic to the picnic areas or head for the tea room selling delicious food and children's meals too.

Pleasure Island - DN35 0PL

about 28 Miles

Wow this is an amazing family theme park and you will probably need the full day to experience it all. From thrilling rides to family shows, kids of all ages are catered for. Some of the most popular rides include the Obliterator and The Pendulus, not forgetting the Hypoblaster. Family shows are entertaining such as the African Acrobat Show which is back by popular demand. Entrance tickets are good value and if you book online you will receive a discount. To save even more money if you live locally or are visiting the area for a few weeks you could buy a season ticket for around £50 which will allow you entry for the whole season.

The Jungle Zoo - NR31 9EY

about 28 Miles

Centred around a Tropical House in an amazing jungle like setting this is a really unique attraction that will appeal to families. In the Cleethorpes area of Lincolnshire it's easy to get to and offers a fun yet educational experience. Referred to as the number one attraction in the area highlights include capuchin monkeys, meerkats, ring tailed lemur and for the children African pygmy goats. The tropical house features Red Eared and other Terrapins from North America and goldfish amongst other things. We think The Jungle Zoo represents excellent value for money too. We recommend a whole day to explore this attraction and ensure you get to see all of the animals resident there.
