  Overall a pleasant stay.

  The positives were a nice location, quiet and relaxing. The lodge was a great size and had all the basic items you could want for a mini break. The check in process was very easy and we liked the fact there was no reception and you just get the keys yourself. Parking was next to the lodge and space for two cars. On entering the lodge it was bright and spacious, modern and very inviting. Lovely welcome bottle of wine and chocolates was a lovely gesture! There was tea, coffee and milk also provided which was thoughtful. Plenty of space for the two of us, the hot tub was lovely and warm and a welcome thing after a long day of walking, not as private as we had hoped as a little exposed as the lodge is by the entrance to the site, some more fencing would solve that in full. Two bathrooms was a bonus, both with showers so made getting ready a bit quicker and easier not waiting for one person to shower first - the shower heads were not the best so don’t expect a rain shower experience! But certainly the water was hot and did the job! Heated towel rails were a nice touch as was the shampoo/shower gel provided! Some points that were not so positive however were: One of the double door cupboards had loose screw/hinges by the oven, as soon as we opened it, it fell off. Managed to put it back together and we took photos when we checked in. It would have been nice to have been able to email the issues to the property team, but no email just a number to call but with limited mobile signal was difficult to connect, and this couldn’t be reported via the Sykes App either. There is an internet service free in the lodge with WiFI but this was very slow at times which whilst not a dealbreaker did make for watching movies/Netflix in the evening annoying as the films kept constantly buffering (even on low quality setting) which was a little frustrating. The same applies to Amazon Prime and any on demand service. WiFI was very slow when trying to use internet and email as well. At one point it just stopped working despite rebooting the router. Mobile signal hit and miss, so just be aware it’s a poor signal area I think in general. The housekeepers could do with cleaning under the sofas, there was loads of dust and hair on the floor, the same on the rug - your socks were covered within seconds of walking on it which with a decent hoover shouldn’t be the case! I fully appreciate this lodge is pet friendly and we took our 2 year old cockerspaniel with us but a little more attention to this cleaning could easily be achieved. There were a lot of marks on the white walls, scrapes and marks which again just need a tidy up, the same with cobwebs on the higher glass windows. Just this little attention to detail and it could be a 5* product! It didn’t detract from our enjoyment but is just feedback. Kitchen storage space is limited for food as there is one big cupboard that is useless due to being built under a beam so it can’t open - again not a major issue but meant that you couldn’t use the biggest cupboard for food storage. Cutlery was an issue, 3 forks and 4 knives/spoons was annoying, perhaps another set could be supplied? The main bedroom mattress was very firm, I know this is personal preference but it did hamper a good nights sleep. There is the room also to provide a king size bed rather than a double. In this day and age most people have king size beds now, but again personal preference. Linen was comfy, fresh and clean. Towels a little on the small side so if you love a bath sheet then I suggest you take your own with you! Overall it was a nice break for 4 days, we would most likely go back again in the not to distant future.

  Beautiful lodge.

  Beautiful setting. A balanced scoring. Usually when looking to book a break away, photos can make the accommodations look bigger than the actual size, but we were really pleased that this was the other way around, the lodge being bigger than anticipated. Great space for a family get together. Open lounge and kitchen diner is perfect when socialising when cooking. The table space for eating is again great! The position on the site was perfect. Having a morning cuppa sitting on the upstairs balcony watching the birds & ducks was a real treat. A heron even popped in to help himself to morning breakfast. The hot tub was similarly a hit with a glass( plastic wine ones are there) of Prosecco, a bottle was left as a welcome pack. All rooms have their own heating regulation which is a bonus to meet a number of people’s temperature preferences. As with any underfloor it’s tricky to regulate “instant heat” so I would suggest regulating the heating (and time) in each room when you arrive based on your usual order preferences, rather than what the previous occupier has set them as. when we arrived some rooms were set at 30*! - we turned them down but the clock setting was set incorrectly so went extremely cold later in the evening as it had turned itself off in night mode. Easily rectified for the rest of the stay. While the Lodge is minimally furnished, again perfect for a holiday letting, Sadly taking a closer look the cleanliness wasn’t the best. The fridge/ freezer hadn’t been cleaned properly, food crumbs & sticky residue left behind, the chopping boards in the kitchen cupboard were greasy as was some of the cutlery. Dust and fluff underneath the beds. The hoover was stored in the utility room cupboard & stunk of damp. No mop or other floor cleaner. The starter cleaning pack didn’t include any bacterial spray, only a 15ml washing up liquid, cloth & 3 dishwasher tablets, so wasn’t sufficient products for cleaning before unpacking. After phoning the management company to find out where the requested cot was kept, I was quite shocked to find out it was kept in the utility room under the sink, not in one of the 2x bedrooms that had significant walk in wardrobe space, despite the the call handler explaining the reason being limited space. Not what I would call appropriate infection control. If the cleanliness issues could be resolved. I would have given this lodge a straight 10 and 5 stars.

  The property looked beautiful and was very clean and warm.

  There were plenty of towels., cutlery and crockery. The lodge was in need of some maintenance - small job which would have made a big difference such an the kitchen a leaking tap and the tap itself had a bit missing making it difficult to tighten. The kitchen lighting had bulbs out, including the extractor fan. As we went in autumn and these were the only lights over the kitchen area, it made cooking tricky as the lights available were dim. One cupboard can't be used as it has been fitted under a beam and opens upwards, so it looks great but is useless, which left very little storage space. The utility was really useful but I made the mistake of storing bulky bread items in there and the heat from the oven on the back of the wall meant everything went hard! Frustratingly when we arrived the toilet roll left in the bathroom was almost empty - about 10 sheets lefts, and the spare was only half full, so the first job was a trip to the shop to buy some! The site itself was small and quiet, although something really needs to be done about the area around the only bins, we had to plough through thick mud just to dispose of our black bin bag and unfortunately there was more than one occasion of someone completely slipping over! So I would advise anyone going this time of year to pack wellies and a couple of spare outfits if you intend on having any rubbish! The furniture looks lovely but it is all value products (likely ikea) which can be come uncomfortable after a while, but there were plenty of cushions throws etc. The cottage is dog friendly but there is no hoover, so by the end of our stay there was a lot of hair on the rug etc that we had no way of cleaning. The hot tub was lovely - if there was any maintenance during our stay they must have been very quiet and discreet as we didn't hear them once! We did really enjoy our stay, and given the price we paid we weren't bothered about the issues listed above, but just wanted to note them for future improvements!

  Firstly i would have liked more info about the fishing ahead of arrival, however as this turned out it was fantastic.

  Lodge 24 is amazing and was only let down in my opinion by not having an enclosed deck area so my dog (Cockapoo) could wander around when the doors were open without visiting adjacent lodges! (But the neighbor's were all ok with his visits, some even giving him treats), but this would not deter me from revisiting. On arrival we had a welcome pack and everything was relatively clean and tidy. The main downside i noticed was a lot of fruit flies and spiders in the downstairs bathroom and corner of the lounge where the floor lamp was. Also the microwave and oven were a nightmare to figure out how to operate. They were both great equipment, however operating even the basic functions was arduous. Aside from the above all i would ask is that the hot tub area have better privacy screening as the current lattice screens do not offer much privacy. I also thought it strange that an 8 person lodge only had one under counter fridge in the kitchen and was expecting to find a freezer somewhere. Despite checking all the units i figured they didn't have one as most visitors wouldn't need any frozen food. It was only on checking out i found a floor to ceiling fridge freezer in the utility room lol. I swear i looked there too.... Anyway, Lodge 24 is exceptional and very well appointed throughout and i will hopefully return soon.

  We’ve stayed in different lodges in Tattershall over the past 4 years.

  This one was by far the best! Up to date and fresh furnishing. Bath is a bonus as my child hates showers. Full size single beds - not the smaller ones you get in caravans. Good size wardrobes. Washing machine is a bonus so you don’t go home with loads of washing - ideal for if you have kids or long stay. Dishwasher- thumbs up. Shower en suite - good size . The lodge is in a quiet area overlooking the aqua sports lake. While there are people on the lake 10-6/7 pm you don’t feel like it invades your privacy. It’s fun to watch. You can sit in the hot tub and relax with the beautiful views. We took food with us because the restaurants in the complex aren’t great and you need an entertainment pass. But we have previously used local pubs/ the chip shop and Chinese which are are 4-5 min drive max. There’s a farm park 5 mins drive - £6.50pp which is a fun day out and Woodhall spa nearby for walks, visit the outdoor heated pool. There are RAF aircraft practicing above which we love and don’t mind the sound. We didn’t want to leave because the lodge was so beautiful. My advice if staying in Tattershall- pay the extra for lake views! As soon as returned home we booked a weekend in October here.
