  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.

  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!

  We arrived on the Friday afternoon.

  A telephone call to Vicki, the site manager, allowed us through the entrance barrier with directions to the Lodge and the key code to the property. On entering, we found a large spacious lodge with everything we would need for our stay. The whole lodge was clean and immaculate. Shortly after arriving Vicki came to introduce herself and told us that should any problem arise, she was on the site 24/7. What was immediately noticable was how quiet the site was. The lodges are well spaced out so you get no noise from other visitors. For us, the main attraction of this site was the fishing lake that is well stocked with several different fish species. Not having fished for several decades, we were amazed at how quickly the fish took our bait (garlic sausage being the favorite for the smaller fish). There are also some very large Carp that will take floating bread from the surface right in front of you. After a hard days fishing, it was great to spend the evening relaxing in the large Hot Tub. Outside the site their are several places to eat within a 5 minute drive. I would recommend Demiens on the next roundabout towards Lincoln on the A46 and Pennels Garden Centre directly across the first roundabout. We have stayed in Lodges all over the country three to four time a year and usually never go back to the same place. However, this lodge, the surrounding area and the fishing lake will see us again soon. I would highly recommend a stay at Sunset Lodge No6.

  This was a lovely comfortable and well appointed lodge.

  In general, it was clean and well looked after. Previous reviews had mentioned that the kitchen was a bit worn, but for us, only the fridge was looking a bit tired. The seating, appliances, and electrical items were all fine and in good condition. One minor grumble was the absence of any sort of welcome book with details of how to use everything …. The underfloor heating (superb) had at least 4 different timer/thermostats that Stephen Hawking would have had difficulty with, as there were no instructions . On arrival, we were disappointed to be told that the hot tub had an electrical fault…..however this was remedied rapidly so that we could use it. The grounds were well kept and tidy, and it was lovely a peaceful in the area. Lincoln was only 6 miles away…..but be warned…2 of the main routes into the city had just commenced road works expected to be long lasting (Mid April 24) and it took 50 minutes to cover those miles ! Not the fault of the property though !

  This was our second visit to Thorpe Park Lodges, and yet again, it didn’t disappoint.

  We had the most delightful New Year getaway at Lodge 1. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at ease. The lodge itself is beautifully presented, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a relaxing break. The layout was perfect for our family of four, with two well-appointed bedrooms – one with a cosy double and en-suite and the other with two comfortable singles, both offering plenty of storage. The open-plan living area was a great space to relax, with the Smart TV providing plenty of entertainment. The kitchen had all the appliances we needed, and it was a joy to cook meals to enjoy at the dining table or out on the decking. Speaking of the decking, the hot tub was undoubtedly the highlight of our stay. There’s nothing quite like soaking in the warm bubbles under the crisp winter sky to truly unwind and celebrate the start of a new year.
