Rooms: The bedroom as a definite WOW factor, luxurious king size bed with the highest quality of linens, its easy to see that no expense as been spared. The kitchen is funky and well equipped with all you will need. Its difficult to get excited about holiday cottage bathrooms, but the shower is a notch or two above what you would expect and the high level of decoration present in the cottage is carried into the "smallest room" (its not small at all, you could have a party in there!) Nearby activities: Situated literally at the end of the runway (that explains the name!) of RAF Coningsby, if plane spotting is your thing, or if you what to experience the spectacle of a military jet fighter plane during a "performance take off"(it sounds like they are pulling the sky in two - its just awesome!) or even better, the nostalgic majesty of the Battle of Britain memorial flight thundering overhead, then this is the very place for you!

Runway cottage was superb, very comfortable and has everything you need: cooker, microwave, dishwasher, shower, TV and Wi-Fi etc. It also has its own private garden with decking and a patio set and a small bistro table and seats at the front for that early morning sun. It is the perfect location if your interested in the planes taking off from RAF Coningsby, close proximity to the airfield and various "spotters" viewpoints and the BBMF. Be warned it can be noisy during the week due to activity on the base and sometimes late at night, though this didn't bother us as it was what we came for. There are many RAF related and other museums and places of interest to visit within a short drive from the site. Coningsby village is only a 5-10 minute drive away, where you can stock up on groceries or grab a takeaway. There's also plenty of pubs, some with an RAF theme, with good food within a short drive, though it maybe best to book in advance if dining. Michelle was very pleasant and helpful and if like most people stopping at Dakota Park, that have an interest in the aircraft, will notify you of any activity. Just a pity we didn't to thank you and say goodbye on our departure.
