Testimonials - 2010

We had an excellent stay in Tennyson Court. The cottage was very comfortable and presented to a very high standard, we were short of nothing and the bottle of Champagne in the fridge was an lovley touch.

It's location is perfect, 10 minutes walk from Lincoln centre yet set in a quiet location.

We will almost certainly visit again, well done for offering such good accomodation at a very fair price.

Great lodgings in a very good location.

I've travelled the world. but the premier retreat is awesome 10/10

Great selection of pies and other traditional English fayre. Restaurant rather cramped and not suitable for disabled or pushchairs.
