The Blackbirds

Spiders in the room when I arrived were very friendly and if you like to listen to the sound of Lorry’s throughout the whole night then this is the place to stay. I booked for two nights but left after only one as I needed a sleep. Tried to speak to the owners as I left, pressed the bell for service but nobody appeared at 5pm. Must have been busy. On a positive note, the breakfast was excellent and the cats sitting on the bonnet of the cars in the car park keep them warm during the night. The barking dogs give added security when parked in the customer parking area. Recommend if you want to be close to Lincoln but remember to bring earplugs! Friendly staff, when you can get hold of them. Bed was clean but they need a new toilet seat. Minor points unless you value your health.

We had a late booking here as we were attending a wedding locally. It was the perfect stay for us great location, parking on site. Lovely rooms with everything you need and a fantastic breakfast. The icing on the cake was the wonderful owners of this guest house who were so welcoming and accommodating especially as we arrived later than planned. We honestly cannot thank them enough for thier hospitality. We highly recommend The Blackbirds to stay at and would not hesitate staying here again when we visit our friends

Ill give you an honest review , good and bad. We arived about 3:30, pulled in to the carpark, my first impressions were not good, the carpark, the garden and outside the house was overgrown. The dogs made me jump when i got out of the car, as they started barking at the gate, im not good with dogs. when no-one answered the door, we reread the email and had not noticed we were supposed to call the day before with a time we would be arriving. Completely our mistake. We tried to call the phone number, we could hear the phone ringing but only went to answer machine, we rung the door bell to which the dogs started barking at. After wondering what to do, we walked around to the side to find the owner in the garden, found it funny that he didnt know anyone was there as the dogs were out side with him and had only barked when we parked our car and rung the doorbell. Once checked in we were shown where our room was , the room had plugs next to each side of the beds and near the long mirror , tea and coffee fertilitys and biscuits, but no spoons. A very wellcome extra was the aircon in the room, bathroom very modern, beds comfortable, room was clean apart from finding a few hairs in shower the shower, and the skirting boards needed a quick wipe over, I also noticed markes on a hand towel but this could of been a stain, it was changed the next morning. Breakfast was a choice of cereal, toast, fresh fruit, fruit juice, tea or coffee. Then you could choose off the menu something cooked. There was a toilet in the reception area next to the breakfast room which had no soap. You can not get an uber to come out to here and you will have to order a taxi about 2 hours before you need one if a weekend .

We had booked overnight for my daughter's graduation ceremony which was early the following morning at Lincoln Cathedral.The Blackbirds was in the countryside along Wragby Road. The owners - Dave and Jane gave us lots of tips about where to park for the ceremony, etc. There was free parking at the guesthouse - most city hotels had to use public car parks which charged day and night. Our rooms were spotless with nice shower, tea making facility and very comfortable beds, with airconditioning. The breakfasts were from 7am and surprisingly good with juices, cereals, fruit and cooked breakfasts, tea or coffee. We did a reconnaissance to time the trip and it took 15 minutes to drive to the The Lawn Car Park and about 6 minutes to walk to the Castle Square which was between the Cathedral and the Castle. Lots of tea shops and restaurants and we had dinner in Thailand No. 1 in Bailgate. on the first night.
