Udder barn is a brilliant place to stay surrounded by rural beauty with awesome friendly property owners. The surrounding villages are not that far away and they have great pubs with homestyle cooked grub. We saw deer, badgers and owls every time we drove back to the barn. The interior of this home from home is really clean and comfy with all mod cons you need including access to a washer & dryer and swimming pool! We cannot say enough about Sue and Jim who were so nice to us, we would definitely stay again and highly recommend Udder barn. Book with confidence! The Drayton family

Fantastic break from the world
I loved staying at Udder barn. The barn is modern and clean but has a real homely feel. You really do get a chance to relax and unwind. We really appreciated the drinks in the fridge and chocolates. The property is a few miles up a single track and you have limited Internet. This was fantastic as we got to switch off. We were unlucky enough to get caught in a storm that bought trees down and prevented us returning to the property. I can not praise the owners enough. They rescued us and got us safely back to Udder barn while the community cleared the road. I highly recommend staying here.

Lovely quiet get away
Three of my friends and I were looking for a property to escape the stresses and this property did not disappoint! It’s the perfect location to truly get away from it all. We stayed for 2 nights and found the property to be incredibly comfortable. Our host greeted us on arrival and was incredibly warm and friendly and offered her knowledge of the surrounding area. We were able to use the pool which was incredibly appreciated in the afternoon after a long walk around Temple Woods. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again.

Hope you managed to climb ‘The Steep Hill’ in Lincoln and look around the ‘Bailgate’ and of course buy a bag of fudge! You’d be more than welcome to visit again, perhaps a taste on the open road in the bright yellow pony? Stay safe and well. Our warmest wishes Jim & Sue (& Fred)

You will not be disappointed. What more can I add that hasn't already been said ? An ideal spot to just relax and recharge. The barn is cosy, quirky, spotless clean and has absolutely everything you should need. The pool is a bonus and to just sit, read a book, enjoy a glass of wine and look out over the fens was just perfect. Inside everything is to a very high specification so you really won't want to go anywhere!! Sue and Jim just lovely genuine people who just want you to enjoy your stay. Thank you 😊

Udder Barn is a quaint barn that is modern, clean, tidy and well maintained. It is located in the country side so there is plenty of wildlife to see. Barn owl, monk jack, buzzard, partridge, kestrel and pheasants just to name a few. The hosts are very welcoming and my wife was surprised to see a happy birthday balloon on our arrival.

Amazingly relaxing. Peaceful and a gorgeous property with the most helpful owners.
From start to finish this was an amazing weekend. The owners were jolly and left you to it unless u wanted to communicate with them. They were helpful and more than willing to accommodate anything really. The property is really gorgeous and I kept staring at bits and finding something new I liked. The beds were so comfy. The biscuits left for us on arrival were just another added touch. Peaceful surroundings as not a noise was heard. Honestly needed a break from reality and definately got it. Thank you so much for a much needed chill weekend.
