Enjoy views across lakes from this enticing lodge. Fish on the lake, head off to explore South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire or simply relax and absorb the tranquillity. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom retreat is ideal for couples or friends seeking to get away from it all. Situated on a beautifully landscaped park at Thorney, 8.5 miles from Lincoln and 14.5 miles from Newark-on-Trent, it comes with access to a fishing lake and has an expansive, private deck, where you can dine in the sunshine and relax in the enviable, waterside position.

Ascend the stairs to the deck and wander into the lodge to discover its beautiful, modern interior. Settle down on the soft seating to take in the magnificent views or to catch up on your latest boxset on the Smart TV. Open the glass doors on sunny days to bring in a cool breeze. Whip up tasty meals for your party in the well-designed kitchen area then call everyone to dine together inside or out. At the end of each day away, head to the delightful king-size bedroom or the pretty twin. Each of these bedrooms has its en-suite shower room for a relaxed stay, and the king-size bedroom has the added benefit of a TV. Outside, fire up the BBQ on sunny afternoons and cook lunch against the beautiful backdrop of the lake. Sit outside under the stairs on balmy evenings too. There is private parking here for two cars.

While away an afternoon or two in wonderful Lincoln, where you can potter in the shops, choose between various eateries and visit the impressive cathedral. History lovers will also enjoy spending time at Doddington Hall and Gardens, 3.5 miles away, with its Elizabethan mansion and gorgeous grounds.
