The hamper of goodies was a fantastic and unexpected touch. The communication and check-in instructions were thorough and easily understood. The lodge is in a great location, only 20 mins to Lincoln and situated in a lovely resort of similar lodges around a picturesque lake. We were very impressed with the lodge and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation, we would definitely return. Thanks very much Phil and Jo for a wonderful week.

The lodge itself was really lovely and probably the best equipped self catering property that I have stayed in. Not only was there everything that you could possibly need but it was all good quality & in abundance. The welcome goodies were very generous and of good quality. The icecream station was very well received & such a good idea. When the owner knew of our celebration, a fantastic display of balloons were decorating the lodge on our arrival - far outweighing our expectations. The weather wasn't the best whilst we were there but the lovely throws allowed us to still make good use of the veranda in the evening taking in the lovely surroundings. All in all we had a really lovely short break in a beautiful lodge. We left with the feeling that the owners really enjoyed renting out their property & ensuring visitors had a lovely time.
