In order for you to start your day with the great Taste of Lincolnshire we use the following quality locally sourced ingredients:

The bacon, sausages, and the pork and beef for our homemade sausage slices are from Sunnyside Up Farm Shop (near Market Rasen); as an alternative to traditional black pudding, we use the black pudding from Redhill Farm (near Gainsborough); the eggs are free range eggs from Scaman’s Eggs (near Louth); the smoked salmon is traditionally smoked salmon from Alfred Enderby in Grimsby; the bread is from JH Starbuck (based in Market Rasen); the porridge oats are from the Maud Foster Windmill in Boston; and the different types of honey we use are from Apidae Honey based in Winterton. We have a selection of homemade jams using our own blackcurrants and gooseberries, and locally picked raspberries and strawberries.

To drink we offer a wide selection of teas (Black, Green, Oolong, White and various fruit and herbal teas) mainly sourced from Imperial Teas (based in Lincoln); and a selection of filter coffees mainly from Stokes (based in Lincoln); and a selection of hot chocolates including hot chocolate made with cacao from Willie’s Cacao.

Very friendly, welcoming and helpful hosts. Rooms were a delight and immaculate. The breakfast was excellent and very plentiful. Must mention the bed which was extremely comfortable. All in all a great stay and hope to return.

Simply perfect – from the welcome to the pristine room, to the tasty breakfast (with a fantastic choice of locally sourced food and drink). A very well thought-out offering. Such warm and friendly owners.

Perfect base for exploring the area. Warm welcome and spotless everywhere. Comfy bed, fab breakfast. Very relaxing break – will definitely recommend to others. Thank you!

This fabulous find is better than some 5 star hotels. Friendly, accommodating hosts. Teas, coffees and amazing breakfast – impressive! Thank you so much.

I knew from the moment we arrived we were going to have a lovely weekend, with the warm friendly welcome we received. You made us feel very comfortable, it was like Home from Home. Room was fantastic “like our hosts”. Thank you so much.

Absolutely 10/10, nothing could be faulted and basically exceeded our expectations in every respect. Great job.

Excellent room, great breakfast. Can’t fault anything at all. Would recommend.

What a wonderful base to spend a weekend enjoying Lincoln. Tony has been the best host we’ve ever had! Well done on creating an absolutely top class BnB experience.

This was our second visit to The Old Posthouse B&B in 2 months. .. what a gem we have found. Apart from really lovely rooms and great facilities the hosts …could not have been more welcoming and helpful on our arrival and through the whole of our time there. They went above and beyond what we could have hoped for. Everything is well organized, friendly and of a high quality, including the food.

Needless to say we shall be back very soon to enjoy one of the best places we have ever stayed. We will not hesitate to recommend to friends and family.

A wonderful find on our cycling tour.

Great overnight stay. Highly recommend. Lovely hosts, comfortable bed and delicious breakfast – all in a lovely village setting.

The best bnb we have ever stayed in…..We would thoroughly recomend this wonderful bnb to anyone.

Absolutely delightful place to stay – hosts … were so welcoming and thoughtful. Breakfast was delicious. Will definitely be recommending this place to friends.

Everything perfect. Perfect hosts. Everything lovely and clean. Food was excellent. Would definitely return and recommend.

I only stayed one night. Wish it had been more…… I turned up late and they were most welcoming. Room was amazing. Clean and fresh. Slept really well. Breakfast is super. Home made sausage (yummy). Would come back if I am in the area again.

Fantastic place, lovely warm and friendly people. Rooms brilliant, breakfast brilliant.

One of the best holiday stays we have had in 31 years of holidaying. Lovely welcome, a great room, cosy snug and fabulous evening meals.

Nothing was too much trouble, breakfast was tailored to our individual tastes, room was very clean and decorated to a high standard. Very comfy bed and large en-suite. Couldn’t recommend this venue any more highly.

We genuinely loved our all too short stay at The Old Posthouse. It is honestly the best B&B we’ve stayed in – and we travel the UK and Europe extensively……The entire stay was outstanding in every respect.
