Dorado Lodge

Fantastic location very peaceful but close to city recommended for any family stay couldn't of hope for better

The lodge was wonderful - it had everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

It was neat, clean and well looked after. Such a peaceful area but (with a car) within easy reach of some lovely parts of the country. We hope to visit again as soon, thank you!

Loved this lodge, so spacious and you wouldn’t know dogs were allowed as it didn’t smell at all.

The only niggle we had is the kitchen could do with a good clean. The walls have food/drink splashes and the freezer

This lodge is just perfect for relaxing.

The lodge is spacious with a great kitchen and a beautiful view of the lake. There’s ample parking if you’re a multi-car party. If you’re into fishing, peg 13 outside the lodge won’t disappoint. There are excellent common and mirror carp 1lb to 7lb but my favourite were the quality rudd. Red maggots will get you a bite in seconds from tiny roach and rudd (would be great for kids). Sweetcorn accounted for better rudd and carp.

A lovely place to stay.

Our only tiny problem was that we had no large serving bowls for salad, crisps etc. .

We had a wonderful break.

Giles was very responsive to questions. The lodge was gorgeous and clean. We met the cleaner Angela as we left she was so friendly. Highley recomend. Daughters both caught 1st carp and several more and the hot tub was great bonus and maintained every day.

Fabulous property, well equipped.

Comfortable beds. Great location we would definitely stay there again.

Fantastic position.

Well equipped and comfortable. Very well presented. Would love to revisit in the future.

Only adverse comment is the settees were to big to sit comfortably without using several cushions behind.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful lodge.

From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The property is spotlessly clean, warm, and incredibly well-equipped — every detail has been thoughtfully considered to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The private fishing lake was a real highlight, especially for the kids and their grandad, who’s a keen fisherman. They made so many lovely memories together, and the utility room made it easy to manage all the gear. The hot tub was the perfect treat at the end of each day! It’s such a peaceful, welcoming place — we were genuinely sad to leave and are already talking about when we can return. Thank you for an unforgettable stay.

Had a lovely getaway at dorado lodge with my family, old school family games, drinks and laughter, very chilled out and lovely view of the pond, very quiet to say it was over new year, beautiful lodge throughout, would definitely recommend December 2024/2025 catrina x

Was excellent lovely place to stay really relaxing and peaceful

Absolutely loved our stay at the lodge, better than expected , great fishing lake and superbly clean and tidy fully equipped lodge.

Highly recommended.

Excellent property really spacious, clean and equipped.

Also the fishing is great lots of carp.

Dorado Lodge is an excellent property on a well designed and maintained site.

It was perfectly comfortable for our family gathering of six people and fortunately we had good weather and were able to spend time relaxing outside as well as inside. The hot tub was a super feature to enjoy during our time here. The only item we found to be faulty was the smaller (top) oven, which functioned but produced no heat. The site is really conveniently situated for exploring Lincoln, Newark, Southwell and the whole area. The local Whisby Nature Reserve is excellent and we enjoyed the Railway Inn too. Thanks for a great stay.

Beautiful view over lake.

Very comfortable and immaculately clean. Great hot tub.

I stayed here with a group of friends for a weekend away.

The lodge is perfect - clean, spacious and bright, with great views. It's well equipped, and with really thoughtful touches, such as bath robes in the rooms. The hot tub is a brilliant addition. The location is lovely: a few miles from Lincoln, and very close to a nature reserve with nice walks and cafes. Highly recommended!

Beautiful property.

Great site with a good fishing lake opposite the lodge doors.

The lodge was very big and spacious. It is a strange set up that would not suit everyone. Upstairs is a large double bedroom but open plan no walls to separate it off from the kitchen / lounge down stairs. The other double bedroom is also very big but for some reason has full glass doors into it from the hallway. This seems a very odd set up and could easily be changed to suit everyone booking the lodge. The other odd set up was no dinning table? You have a massive kitchen and large breakfast bar with some stools but no table? If like us you like to sit around a table not in a line eating. With those couple of odd issues aside the lodge was great and I would book again. The location was fine and only 10 mins drive to Lincoln. The local nature reserve was great to walk around and have a coffee.

We all loved our holiday at Dorado Lodge.

The Lodge is so comfortable and beautifully designed. The hot tub was used by all of us daily and beautifully maintained by Justin. The outlook is gorgeous and the boys loved the fishing. We had a very relaxing week and will certainly come back.

Excellent stay the lodge was what we expected it to be from the photographs seen online, the cleaner must have her work cut out keeping it clean, it is very well looked after with more facilities then other lodges we have stayed in.

The fishing was exceptional we must have picked the right week to stay, all shops and eateries are very close by and Lincoln and Skegness are only a short drive away the air museum is a great place to visit for a morning or afternoon out.

Brilliant place, really enjoyed our stay.

Will be back!!

Dorado Lodge is set by a very pretty lake.

It is very comfortable, and a great social space to meet with friends. We loved the hot tub after a leisurely day walking to the local pub via the larger lakes nearby. I would highly recommend. Ps. Justin, who looks after the hot tub was very helpful. Thank you.

We really enjoyed our stay!

The lodge was perfect for what we needed for our time there over Christmas (and the lovely decorated Christmas tree was very much appreciated). Super comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, plenty of space… The hot tub was a winner too! Thank you ☺️

We had a wonderful weekend here.

..fabulous logde, very well equipped and great location

Dorado lodge: Beautiful lodge and suroundings with high end fixtures and comforts.

Hot tub was used every day of stay and worked as good on last night as the first (watch out for falling acorns) Id recomend bringing eye masks for whoevers sleeping in the master bedroom at the top of the lodge as light floods the room from the large windows at the front of the lodge. The bed in the master suite was huge! However the mattress could do with being replaced or looked at as its sunken on the side nearest the bathroom. Overall a beautiful lodge and relaxing stay.

We had a great relaxing time at the dorada lodge with our daughter,her partner and 2 grandkids, our grandson loved watching the other residents fishing and got to hold is first live fish and helped to put it back into the water, hot tub was enjoyable, would definitely recommend to all that want a quiet and relaxing break

The lodge is set in beautiful surroundings and we had such an amazing family holiday, so tranquil and peaceful.

Beautifully cleaned throughout and could not fault in any way, shows the cleaners take pride in their work and it is very much appreciated, The fishing was brilliant as the lake is very well stocked and the swim was on the doorstep. The hot tub is fabulous and Justin checks it every day to ensure it is the right temperature and clean throughout - thank you Justin. The only thing missing would be a TV in the 2 downstairs bedrooms as the main upstairs bedroom is open plan and would have been the icing on the cake. The barrier system is genius as allowed us to let in food deliveries, including Tescos and take outs. Thank you very much.

Lovely property.

Quiet location. Well equipped and very comfortable. Use of the hot tub made the stay even better!

Gorgeous lodge with everything you would ever need.

Thank you Giles and Tracey!

Beautiful property Super comfortable beds Hot tub was amazing Amenities such as hot water and central heating were all working brilliant Not to mention scenic view of the lake just at the doorstep We had a lovely relaxing weekend break away from our hectic life’s Dr Patel

Excellent lodge and facilities.

Quiet location right on the edge of a small lake. However not easy to locate on arrival as no map at the entrance to the site and we had to walk all the way round to find the lodge, to get the dongle to get our car on site....which then did not work! We then found out that the barrier automatically lifted when the phone number provided was rung. This would have saved us a lot of walking and frustration. In addition, the lodge is advertised with Sykes who we had horrendous problems with during lockdown. This time we were pleasantly surprised but I would not use Sykes again if possible.

Beautifully clean lodge with great facilities and extremely comfortable beds.

Would definitely recommend for a relaxing weekend away with family. Lovely base to explore to the area. Quiet and tranquil with the bonus of a hot tub. Going again with friends next year and would definitely book again in the future.

Lovely lodge warm and cosy and only steps away from the lake the fishing was excellent could not get the grandsons away from fishing or out of the hot tub.

Very private did manage to visit Lincoln and Lake View Restaurant and the nature reserve which are close by. A lovely tonic enjoyed by us all.

Beautiful lodge set in beautiful surroundings would come again and again if it was fenced off for our dog other than that it was perfect

Good holiday.

Noisy loud work was being done 3 cabins away with angle grinders which was unpleasant. Beds are very soft - outdoor furniture no cushioning and on leaving day. Windows were being cleaned around 9am which made us feel pressured to leave earlier than the 10am check out

What an absolutely gorgeous lodge.

Myself and two friends stayed for 5 nights at Dorado Lodge and had the most wonderful, relaxing stay. There are 2 huge double bedrooms, both with ensuits, and a large twin room; the beds are so comfotable and plenty of hanging and drawer space. The kitchen is kitted out with everything you would need for your stay and the lounge area has a wall mounted TV with sky and netflix etc. The outdoor area is incredibly peaceful and around the corner tucked away is the hottub which was a great addition to the stay and we used it most evenings. Giles, the host, was incredibly helpful and kind throughout our stay (via email) and offered suggestions of places to visit and help when needed. There are a few lodges in this area but you didn't feel like you had any neighbours, I would absolutely love to come back to Dorado Lodge for another peaceful stay. Thank you so much!

It was lovely me and my family really enjoyed the relaxation and the kids loved it to, it was our first time there and we cant wait to book again now we didnt want to leave this is definitely i place we will be going more often now

the lodge had everything a family of 6 could wish for except egg cups and scissors, the view over the lake was great as was the fishing.

The hot tub was ideal, I would recommend this lodge to anyone.

Great lodge, ample parking, huge fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer all very handy!

Large tv, sky with freeview. Maybe take eye mask can be bright in rooms. Robes also there very handy for hot tub! Heating is hive so really easy to use and boost. Manual with instructions for everything!

From the srat everything was well explained.

The holiday lodge far exceeded our expectations. It was a perfect location in a perfect lodge. I would 100% recommend

the cloakroom sink was leaking the entire stay, so the floor was constantly wet.

the plug hole also did not work in this sink, as one of the boys put the plug in to wash his face, and then couldn’t get it out.

Fantastic lodge, only thing we missed was a table, I know they have breakfast bar, but not quite the same.

Also, could do with lock on downstairs bathroom. Lovely and peaceful, fishing was great fun.

We had a lovely stay at Dorado Lodge.

It is a comfortable place with everything you could need for a great holiday. Being able to fish right outside the back door was wonderful, my kids thought it was amazing.

Very well equipped, nice touches like towels and robes to use for the hot tube.

Useful extras like washer tablets and dish wash tablets and liquid. May have been previous guests but salt pepper ketchup and some herds in the kitchen all very useful. Not far to 3 super Markets and only 15 minutes into Lincoln.
