Lovely lodge and nice surroundings Hot tub was great temp and nice but too much chlorine! Overall very clean but found some kitchenware that was dirty and the cafetiere needed a good clean. But really a lovely place and we had a great stay

This is our second time staying and wont be our last. Such peaceful surroundings but close enough to places to explore. The lodge itself has everything you need to relax and it felt like home from home. Looking forward to going back!

We really enjoyed our stay. .accommodation was excellent the bottle if prosecco was a lovely surprise..fishing was great..well stocked lake...hot tub was very private and made our stay most welcome...we will be returning. Thank you so much xx

Kirsty

An amazing lodge, from early communication re arrival set up and instructions how to get in through to end. Very clean and homely, with added extra of lake views and private hot tub. Well equipped kitchen and thanks for the welcome gift. Already recommended to family and friends, and will add to our list to stay again places. Lots to do around also for children. We went to sundown, which was 25 mins away, national trust, and windmill for Sunday lunch. Lots to choose to do from for all weathers.

The lodge was lovely with plenty of crockery glassware and cooking apparatus. Beds comfortable and good showers. Had a lovely time. Enjoyed the jacuzzi and local area.

Great place modern fittings very clean will tell others how nice lodge was ... Great place modern fittings very clean will tell others how nice lodge was Would have liked fishing peg about 12 wider Fishing is first class Will return soon Thank you

Rachael

Absolutely loved it! So cozy and relaxed I thought we might have struggled with my kids being bored but we went for days out and there was games in the lodge, they loved fishing on the lake too! Can not recommend it anymore we didnt want to leave and well be coming back definitely before the year is over.

Michael John

This is a lovely lodge. .great fishing..your neighbours are close and they allow dogs..there are good days out and not far away..

Can not fault the facilities. Everything we needed was there. Even things we would not have expected at all made it even better. Lovely little touches. It was a lovely stay. We didnt get to use the hot tub as we had brought an elderly client away for a little holiday so wasnt needed. But would have gotten used any other time. I even ordered some of the rhubarb and Tonka soap when I got home it was so lovely. Fantastic information booklet. So peaceful. Loved watching the fishes jumping in and out. The only fault we found was cleanliness in some areas of the kitchen could have been a little better. Dirty bowls and pots and pans etc in the cupboards and the little outhouse had a stale smell from the bin. However, a quick wipe down and it was all good. We would 100 visit again! There was so much thoughtfulness. A suggestion would be fans maybe? It got very hot on our visit due to extremely hot temps outside.

Yvonne

Lovely setting exactly as advertised. Second visit for us. Watch this space for a third. Excellently placed for Lincoln, Newark and Whisby reserve. Very quiet and relaxing.

Victoria

Wonderful beautiful surroundings could not ask for more Thank you

Possibly the best holiday weve had, it suited the whole family 4 children aged 616 which is a task in itself! We booked mainly to celebrate our eldests 16th and we loved every second and hope to go back.

Had a lovely stay at this gorgeous property. Sitting on the deck or in the hot tub watching the birds and the people fishing was very relaxing a real break away from the daily grind! Lots to do in the local area too.

Denise

Lovely well equipped lodge in an amazing setting, we wanted to fish and we could do that from the lodges 2 fishing pegs, quiet and peaceful but near enough to local amenities and shopping, it is just a peaceful, calm oasis, we definitely will be back! !!

Can't fault it. Everything you need is here. Good fishing. Hot tub private with a big hedge round it. Our fifth time here. Been to other lodges but this is like home from home.

Wonderful stay. Very peaceful. The lodge had everything we needed and was perfect for a weekend of rest and relaxation. So good weve booked again!

Amazing stay at Lily pad lodge. This was our second visit and we thoroughly enjoyed it, again. Theres everything you need for a friends weekend get together. Will definitely be back.

Lovely, quiet place to stay and the easy way of collectinglocking the lodge was a great idea. The lodge was lovely and finished to a really good standard. A few little cleaning issues in the en suite bathroom. Only thing I would suggest, would be to have had a map of the lodges to see where we were. We had found our lodge plot no18 which was in the email only to find it wasn't ours and had to drive around the site for 10 minutes looking for our lodge. Would have been a 10 and smiling face if these two were sorted but didn't detract from from our lovely stay.

Angela

Just spent a fabulous weekend away with family. Christmas all the way. The tree and presecco an added touch. So well equipped. Fabulous all round. Have already booked for next year.......Only slight niggle was the hot tub was not checked or topped up.

Andrea

This was our second visit 6 Adults to LilyPad and we had such a wonderful stay again. The lodge is great and in such a lovely and tranquil setting. Beautifully furnished and well equipped the only comment would be that the fridge is a bit small and with a wonderful private hot tub. Can only recommend and we are hoping to return soon.

Danielle

From arriving to leaving was just beautiful and scenic would definitely recommend everyone to visit, owners left a bottle of processo in fridge which was perfect as we was gathering as a family for a birthday. Very well looked after if you want to relax it's easily done as theres a hot tub and fishing at the lodge. If you are someone who likes to adventure you can always do licoln town centre as that's wort ah visit, plus the pennell garden centre. We as a family regually book a lodge every year but this has reacted the top and we've stay at various locations. 1010

The property was lovely. My son suffers with anxiety and this was our first holiday in five years but the peace and quiet really helped him to relax, as did watching all the wildlife coming so close. We all enjoyed our couple of days chilling out in this tranquil location.

Amanda

Loved our stay here beautiful well equipped lodge lovely relaxing view onto the lake my boys loved the fishing and we all loved the hot tub! Plenty to do in the local area too cathedral, castle, quite a few aviation museums in the area with lots to see and interesting history. Hickorys is walking distance and great food.

We had a wonderful stay at LilyPad Lodge. Everything was as described and we had everything we needed whilst there. The bedrooms were set up as requested and we had ample room. The privacy of the seating and hot tub outside was great and the grounds where the Lodge is set was nice and quiet and really easy to find. We had 1 issue whilst there, but this was quickly dealt with and absolutely made no impact to our stay. Communication with the property owner was exceptional from all the information given a few days before to when we left. We couldnt have asked for better and we are already considering coming back next year!

Had a lovely holiday in this gorgeous lodge! Everything was immaculate and very clean and the setting is simply perfect. It is right on the lakes edge It has everything you need for a lovely stay the hotub is by the side of the property so very private. The rooms are spacious and very cosy, there is everything you need to cook with if you want to Can't fault this place and there was even a welcome bottle of prosecco in the fridge on arrival! We will definitely be booking again and cant wait to come back! We got a taxi into Lincoln which took about 15 mins and so if you want to explore it is very easy to do

Phyllis

Lovely lodge with everything you would need. We had a girls trip with just 4 of us, with an aim of relaxing and having a well needed catchup away from our typical family lives for 2 nights, we also had a mini surprise baby shower for one of the girls whilst there. All the facilities were good, the hot tub was definitely a great addition. We don't fish, but loved the view onto the lake and watching other people fishing, it had a very tranquil feel to it. Would definitely recommend and would visit again definitely an extra night next time!. Thankyou to the owners for creating a lovely home away from home!

We had an amazing weekend at Lilypad lodge. We came for a girls weekend and the lodge was very cosy and welcoming. Loved how private the hot tub area is and we also had a Prosecco bottle in the fridge for us, which was a lovely surprise. Well definitely book again and recommend this lodge to all our friends.

Great place to stay,spotlessly clean,lovely view of the lake,we all enjoyed the hot tub,my son enjoyed fishing too. Would definitely love to stay again and would highly recommend.

Enjoyed a relaxing few days in a fantastic lodge. Great amenities and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

Christine

Our second booking in this lovely little lodge. On arrival it was spotless and we enjoyed our stay once again. The cupboards are well stocked with plenty of plates etc, pots and pans. We look forward to booking again later in the year.

Olivia

Photos dont do the place justice!

Claire

We had a wonderful stay at LilyPad Lodge. Despite there being an issue with the site which meant we had no heating or hot water which was beyond the owners control the owners went over and above provide us with extra kindling for the fire and called into give us chocolates and a bottle of wine to apologise. The place is wonderful and so well kept, we will be returning for a third time without a doubt! Fabulous place

The lodge was amazing, plenty of space for 6 ladies, lovely furnishings. Extremely comfortable and had everything we required. Hot tub was excellent and the view of the lake was great. Would highly recommend. 5 star

Michela

LilyPad Lodge is a proper home from home. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay for the family. We meet up every year with our grown up children and have a lovely family weekend together and ThorpeOnTheHill is central to us all. The lodge is beautifully furnished with comfortable beds and even plastic glasses for the hot tub. The welcome bottle of Prosecco is a lovely welcome gift too. Would love to visit again in the future.

Allison

Loved it will be booking again same time next year
