Heron Lodge

Heron Lodge Cottage was beautifully decorated and very well equipped.

The lakes and area surrounding the cottage was such a lovely surprise, so peaceful and tranquil. Perfect for nature lovers. Andy and Denise were so friendly and helpful. They were very committed to making sure we had a restful and comfortable stay and were always available if we needed help or advice. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and hope to be back in the near future. Best wishes, Mike, Liz and Emma. 3 - 10th July 2026.

Heron Lodge was an idyllic place to stay.

Perfect in every way if you like peace and quiet in a tranquil setting. Andy and Denise were perfect hosts. A real "home from home." Will definately return !

We thought that the cottage was the best that we have ever stayed in and as nature lovers were pleased to find that it was set in idyllic surroundings.

We thank you for a lovely week.

Exceptionally comfortable and well equipped cottage set in wonderful grounds with delightful hosts

Wonderful property, very clean, spacious and well equipped.

Everything you could need was there. Lovely, helpful owners. Well-kept grounds, enjoyed walking around the lakes and seeing wildlife. Very quiet and peaceful, very relaxing holiday.

We had very enjoyable stay at Heron Lodge.

A bright, spacious detached bungalow which was extremely well equipped , it had everything you could need … and more. Situated in expansive private grounds it’s a delightful place to spend time. We agreed that for us personally it was the best Sykes property we’d stayed in. Denise & Andy, the owners,are lovely people. Always available for advise on local attractions , walking routes etc.. if you need it.

Heron Lodge was in a stunning location peaceful and tranquil just what we needed to unwind .

The Lodge was immaculate inside and out. The owners have provided everything you could possibly need plus lots of information about the property including important phone numbers for emergencies, places to visit , restaurants etc. We arrived to find a lovely welcome pack which after a long journey was gratefully received. Our Hosts Denise and Andy were there to greet us . They were exceptionally friendly and helpful a ,really lovely couple . We would most definitely recommend Heron Lodge for an outstanding holiday break .

What a beautiful place.

Denise and Andy make you feel very welcome. Could not fault it. They have thought of everything. Walks around the lakes was very enjoyable. Perfect location for visiting the Lincolnshire wolds. Will definitely be back. Thank you

Couldn’t be more perfect!

Andy and Denise have thought of everything. We’ve been spoilt! So peaceful and beautiful walking round the lakes and wooded areas. It feels like we’ve had the whole 23 acres to ourselves. Andy and Denise are lovely friendly and there if you want them, but not intrusive. Heron Lodge feels spacious, luxurious and homely. Everything you could possibly want is there and spotlessly clean. Just perfect. Thank you Andy and Denise for a wonderful week.

Lovely place to stay.

Very well equipped. Comfortable beds and we wanted for nothing. The owners denise & Andy should be very proud. They made us feel very welcome. I'm sure well return at some point in the future. I would highly recommend a stay here.

We had been looking forward to our second stay at Heron Lodge and enjoyed it every bit as much as the first.

The house is brilliantly designed, spacious and convenient - without a doubt it is one of the most comfortable places we have ever stayed. It is set in woodland, with pleasant walks available to guests and accessible but certainly not intrusive hosts who it was such a pleasure to meet again. Thoroughly recommend Heron Lodge as a base for visiting Lincolnshire or just for a peaceful break in beautiful surroundings.

What a great find.

We’ve never had a better experience than staying here at Heron Lodge. We have stayed in many cottages but Heron Lodge was just perfect! Andy & Denise were fantastic hosts and very friendly. The property had everything you needed and more. We would highly recommend Heron Lodge to anyone and would definitely love to return if we were to visit the Lincolnshire region again.

Simply the best ever!

This beautiful spacious lodge is extremely comfortable, with huge windows to see the handsome surroundings - and to afford a glimpse of wildlife as it passes by. We loved walking on the paths through the woods and round the lakes (take walking boots or wellies). We enjoyed the big meadow which was full of wild flowers including orchids in June. Lincolnshire Wolds is very attractive and we explored the little towns and also the coast. Great birdwatching at Gibraltar Point near Scarborough, and so much more. We'll be back.

Wonderful property,ideal location great hosts.

This property ticks all the boxes 5 star.

Heron Lodge was absolutely first class.

I can't think of anything that Denise and Andy could improve on. Evidence of that is the suggestions box for guests to leave a note of any improvements that could be made..it's empty so I think that says it all! We'd love to return in Summer when the days are longer to make the most of the beautiful grounds surrounding the Lodge.

Just returned from our 3rd stay at Heron Lodge.

Perfect as always. Immaculate accommodation, beautiful location and perfect hosts. What more could you ask for. Will be booking again without doubt.

We had our 2nd holiday at Heron Lodge, the Lodge was as immaculate as before, the care and attention to detail, comfort and friendly hosts are 5 star.

We have booked again, and so look forward to our next visit. Irene

Superior accommodation and stunning location.

Everything and more you would require for an amazing holiday. Very informative information folder. Denise and Andrew none imposing host very helpful with information on recommendations for places to visit. Amazing place to stay. And lovely plum bread in welcome pack.

Peaceful location in stunning grounds.

Denise & Andy are there if you need them but not intrusive. Property comfortable well equipped and clean. Enjoyed watching the wildlife had a lovely relaxing holiday

Our 3rd visit to Heron Lodge and as expected we were not disappointed.

Denise and Andy work very hard at maintaining the Lodge up to an extremely high standard. The Lodge is very comfortable, exceptionally clean and well equipped, nothing is left to chance. Denise and Andy are on hand just down the drive if you need them. The Lodge sits in beautiful grounds and lakes which are a must for a walk. There's lots to do in the area whatever your interests are, from Antiques, seaside, historical interests and walking. We highly recommend Heron Lodge. Thank you Denise and Andy.

Lovely place to stay.

The woods and the lakes in such close proximity was awesome. There’s a bench near the lake not too far from the property that was a great spot for a bit of peaceful relaxation. The property was well furnished and comfy, though some of the sofas are at a distance and at a bad angle from the tv and you’re not allowed to move them. It was good to see a large selection of books, games, and jigsaws; Many places we’ve stayed at stopped doing this since Covid. Overall highly recommended.

Excellent care by Denise who happily and pleasantly attended to our every whim.

One of the best cottages we have stayed at (and we've been to a few).

Andy & Denise were very welcoming and lovely people. The property itself was spotlessly clean and every amenity was catered for.It was perfectly located for visiting coast and countryside. Overall this property is 5⭐️

This cottage was superb.

It was well provisioned and very clean. The owners introduced themselves and were around if we needed them . The grounds were wonderful and we saw woodpeckers, partridges and muntjacs outside our window. Heron Lodge was a peaceful place to relax and look at life.

Absolutely wonderful holiday cottage in an equally wonderful and quiet location - all 23 acres of it!

! Lovely open view and we enjoyed watching geese, goslings and two different species of deer. The owners occupy the only other property, only their rooftop is visible, so you are not overlooked. The owners are charming, helpful, but never obtrusive and have provided everything in the cottage to the highest standard. Spotlessly clean, tasteful furnishings, comfortable sofas and comfortable beds. There is a nicely paved and furnished private patio area complete with barbecue. The location is good for touring this area of Lincolnshire. We have rented holiday cottages for 35 years and recommend Heron Lodge as one of the best.

This was our sixth visit to Heron Lodge and, needless to say, we enjoyed our holiday as we have always done there.

For us the property is perfect in every way and the owners are delightful. Heron Lodge is always clean, has everything you need and would expect, but also has many things on top of this because of the thoughtfulness of the owners. It can't be bettered.

Heron Lodge is a comfortable, well equipped property in lovely surroundings.

Difficult to find better.

Fantastic cottage.

very well equipped with everything you could wish for. In a very beautiful setting with plenty of wildlife around. Within easy reach of all the local attractions. Kim & Sue.

denise andrew thank you both for a wonderful wks break at herron lodge mavis enderby lincolnshire from meet and greet to departure it was so relaxing all aspects of the lodge were perfect from bedrooms ensuite well stocked kitchen and welcome pack plum bread was lovely wth 3 lakes to walk around and take in the wild life an hurray of different birds deers rabbits a perfect holiday thank you janet and graham coventry west midlands

Heron lodge is a beautifully appointed holiday lodge, everything you need, boot room for drying outdoor clothing, cooking appliances comfortable furniture and beds and lovely and warm.

. wonderful wildlife in the grounds and surrounding area.. Denise and Andy are wonderful knowledgeable hosts. Would definitely recommend and hopefully return in the future..

What else can we say about this property and the owners.

Absolutely brilliant. It is a wonderful place to stay. Facilities, cleanliness attention to detail etc are all second to none and the owners simply cannot be more helpful. It is set in beautiful surroundings as well, so the minute you arrive you know you are going to have a lovely stay. This was our second stay at Heron Lodge and we will definitely be visiting there again.

Heron Lodge is the ideal base for exploring Lincolnshire - wolds, coast and fens are all within easy reach.

The owners are friendly and most helpful while the cottage is comfortable and (for an autumn stay) cosy. Light, bright, beautifully furnished and equipped, at the end of a day exploring it was a great place to come home to. We certainly hope to return in the not too distant future.

We had a wonderful stay in an amazing holiday home, the attention to every detail to make your stay memorable is second to none.

Andy and Denise we say thank you for all you put in, from the thorough cleaning and checking all is well, and prompt help if needed.We have already booked for next year. Irene

2nd stay here.

One of the best maintained and equipped places we have stayed, so comfortable and homely and everything you need provided. Denise & Andy are very welcoming but not intrusive. Welcoming tea, coffee and cake provided most welcome. A very quite and restful place to stay, the grounds are very well maintained and the walk around the lakes very peaceful. Ideally situated for visiting nearby towns. Would not hesitate to recommend staying here to friends and family.

The property was extremely clean and comfortable and in absolutely lovely grounds.

Our hosts could not have been more gracious, enquiring after our comfort and offering any guidance and help we needed. We enjoyed a perfect week in a perfect property.

Heron Lodge is an exceptional place to stay.

In a peaceful location, with generous, unobtrusive hosts in Denise and Andy, it has it all. It is tastefully furnished, spotlessly clean and spacious. We were a party of two couples and spent a wonderful week here. We wanted for nothing and can heartily recommend this property to anyone. Gill

We had a very enjoyable week at Heron Lodge.

It is rare to find a holiday property with such an eye for detail, facilities and cleanliness. We self-catered in a fantastically well-appointed kitchen and relaxed in the spacious dining/living area. It was also a bonus to be able to wander around 'our' lakes for the week! Thoroughly recommended.

This is our 3rd visit to Heron Lodge.

We love the peace & quiet. Also stargazing at night as the skies are so clear. Denise & Andy are wonderful hosts & it was so lovely to catch up with them again. They are very welcoming.

4th stay at heron Lodge, its wonderful, clean, well equipped, surroundings are beautiful, can't fault it, will definitely be back

Heron Lodge exceeded our expectations, it had everything you needed.

Comfortable beds and very clean, hamper was a lovely surprise. Andy and Denise were great hosts they left a list on notice board of places to visit with our elderly mother.

This was our fifth visit to Heron Lodge and we have already booked for next year!

The property is immaculate and had everything we needed. It is spotlessly clean and the owners are delightful. This is the best rental property we have used and is set in lovely grounds. Hence the repeat visits.

Soo sad to have had to leave Heron Lodge after 7 nights.

This was our 2nd visit and we were not disappointed. Denise and Andy have thought of absolutely everything to ensure our stay was comfortable. The attention to detail is 'second to none' The Lodge was immaculate, comfortable, well appointed and nothing was left to chance. The view from the Lodge is fab as is the walk around the lakes and gardens which Denise and Andy work hard at keeping beautiful. The added bonus to our holiday was the 80th anniversary of the Dambusters,with events on the whole weekend at East Kirby Aviation Heritage Centre. Absolutely fabulous ! Discovered Woodhall Spa. Well worth a visit. Looking forward to re-booking for next year. Thank you both.

Absolutely wonderful, very clean, fantastic property, had a wonderful stay there with my parents.

Would definitely look to book again

An immaculately presented property, equipped superbly in a really beautiful location, with so much to see and do in the local vicinity.

Having stay at various locations all around the country this has to be one of the nicest properties that we have visited. Denise and Andrew are very welcoming and hospitable hosts. Highly recommended !!

Heron Lodge is simply a wonderful place to stay, spacious, immaculate spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds and everything you could possibly want in holiday accommodation.

The woods and lakes provide a perfect backdrop for a peaceful relaxing holiday, and heron Lodge is the perfect base for exploring the local area. Thank you to wonderful hosts Denise and Andrew

Wonderful bungalow with everything possible provided, in a beautiful setting with lakes which 2 of us walked most days.

Andy & Denise could'nt have been nicer and were very pleasant. In all a great holiday which I think was much needed after the covid episode. Thankyou you very much.

Without a doubt the nicest place we have ever stayed at for a holiday!

Heron Lodge is fantastic. There were five of us, aged from 18 to 84, every one of us loved it and will definitely be returning in the future. The grounds are beautiful and the owners make sure that everything is fine for you, without interfering, it is peaceful and quiet and you are guaranteed a good night's sleep. There are lots of places to visit that are not far away by car, or you could stock up and spend your time without going anywhere!

The beautiful, spacious Heron Lodge is the great place to relax and enjoy the well deserved peaceful country break.

As a family, we had a great time here and also exploring nearby surroundings. The hosts are very friendly. Love to come again for sure.

Lovely property in a beautiful location.

I genuinely thought it was a new listing with it being so well presented.

What a find !

Heron Lodge is absolutely fabulous. Extremely clean, spacious,comfortable, well appointed and with great attention to detail. All needs catered for. Nothing has be overlooked. Very quiet location, stunning views, beautiful grounds to explore with lots of wildlife to watch. Heron Lodge is ideal for couples and families with children over 12 years old (the property has 3 lakes) Our hosts were adorable, with lots of knowledge and suggestions of what to do in the area, nothing was too much trouble. Local village 2.5 miles away has good local shops, a supermarket and a variety of takeaways. We can recommend the 'chippy' ! 40 minutes to the seaside, 30 minutes or so to Lincoln and lots more to do on your doorstep. We enjoyed our stay sooooo much, infact, we have already rebooked for next year. Thank you Denise and Andy.

Superb in every way.

We loved our stay at Heron Lodge and have booked to return for longer!

Perfect location with wonderful facilities and its own lake!

This place is a hidden gem.

Everything has been thought about to make your stay as comfortable as possible. There is plenty of wildlife to watch near the Lodge and there are 3 lakes to walk around. The owners who live a bit further up the site are very welcoming but considerate of your privacy. We enjoyed it that much we will be booking to stay again.

This cottage- and its hosts- are what I would describe as THE ultimate in the art of cottage provision!

Literally nothing has been missed or is short. Superlatives hardly cover the description of both the cottage, its facilities, the location and indeed the most amazing hosts. I have rented many many great cottages before but I have to say that all round this one beats the list to the top. Thanks you again Andy and Denise for a most wonderful time! We will return for sure

Beautiful bungalow which is credit to the lovely owners Denise and Andy who live in in a nearby bungalow on the grounds.

They are very approachable and have thought of everything to make your break away home from home. The single beds are divans and are extremely comfortable. The double is more springy but it is fine. Lovely furnishings. Very clean throughout. Plenty of fluffy towels/hot water. Plum loaf that was left for us was lovely (can be bought from nearby garden centre). Also tea/coffee/milk to make a cuppa on arrival was welcomed. Situated nearby (a couple of miles I think) to local facilities (shops/supermarket) but still remains very peaceful. I don't want to gush too much about Heron Lodge as I don't want it to get fully booked! If anyone moans about staying here, then nothing would please them! Excellent communication from Sykes.

My husband and I spent a week at Heron Lodge at the beginning of October 2021.

The property was perfect for us in every way. Beautifully situated away from the road, along a long gravel drive, very quiet and private, with lovely views over the grounds. Every effort to ensure our comfort had been considered with great attention to detail. Despite being spacious and open- plan it was very warm and cosy. It was extremely well-equipped and very clean, with all necessary Covid sanitation precautions taken. We used the Lodge mainly as a base for walking in the area to gain access to the start of our daily countryside and coastal walks without having to drive too far. Denise and Andy, the owners who lived on site further up the drive, were lovely - very helpful yet considerate of our privacy. We very much appreciated their welcome pack containing tea, coffee, milk and plum bread loaf. The fact that we plan to return in the future says it all. In a word ... superb!

The fact that we have been back to Heron Lodge several times speaks for itself!

Superb accommodation in a lovely setting. Owners very welcoming.

Comfortable and very well equipped property.

Set in beautiful grounds which we enjoyed exploring. Owners very welcoming and keen to ensure we had a lovely holiday. Hoping to return again soon.

Very comfortable property in lovely surroundings.

Peaceful and relaxing but a great base for exploring the Wolds and coast. The hosts, Denise and Andy are delightful and caring. Would definitely consider staying here again if visiting the area.

Fantastic holiday Heron Lodge was perfect everything you might need was there and more.

The owners Denise and Andrew were great and work hard at making you welcome and keeping the property perfect.We would definitely give Heron Lodge 5 stars and hope to return again.

Wow!

! What a stunning property in beautiful surroundings. We stayed August 13th for one week with our 2 daughters. The owners Denise and Andrew have literally thought of everything and are so helpful. The property is spotlessly clean, which in these current times is more important than ever. This is by far the best accommodation we have stayed in and Denise and Andrew are really great hosts and nothing is too much trouble. You can tell they take great pride in their property and that they want you to have a wonderful holiday. It is such a comfortable and relaxing place to stay. Why Sykes have only given it 4 stars is a mystery. If this property and its hosts are not 5 stars, we don’t know what is. We will definitely be returning in the future. Mr and Mrs Gray. August 2021

Wow what a fantastic place to stay !

A real gem ! We have just had an amazing week staying in Herons Lodge. The lodge is fantastic the best we have stayed in ! The owners Denise and Andrews attention to detail is perfect , the lodge and grounds are a credit to them. The lodge is immaculately clean and everything you need is there, they have thought of everything to make sure their guests have a perfect holiday. The grounds and the wildlife is lovely to see and walk around. The beach is a 20 minute drive away and the best beach we found was Mogs Eye it was perfect, quiet and clean with families enjoying themselves. Thank you to such a lovely couple for making our holiday perfect we will definitely be returning. Our only recommendation would be that Sykes give this lodge 5 star not 4 !!

Our second stay at Herons Lodge and once again we could not fault any aspect of the Lodge.

Without any doubt it is the best accommodation we have rented and we are looking forward to returning again as soon as possible. Superb peaceful location for exploring Lincolnshire coastal resorts and inland villages, or just sitting outside the lodge and watching the wildlife which visit the grounds. The lodge is equipped with everything you could need and everything is top quality. The tea, coffee, milk and plum loaf are a nice welcoming touch so you can have a drink and snack after a long drive. Andy and Denise are perfect hosts, they are very welcoming and would be very approachable if there was any problem. They do a great job in making sure that the lodge is spotlessly clean on your arrival especially in these Covid times

Friendly helpful owners and fabulous location with well equipped first class accommodation.

We cannot say enough about our week away at heron lodge The accommodation was even better than described from absolutely everything you need being there and more with excellent cleanliness The setting was absolutely stunning beautiful walks in the grounds and plenty of wildlife The sun sides in the morning were amazing made even more special with a herd of deer

Heron Lodge is a wonderful, comfortable and peaceful place to stay with lovely surroundings.

It is very well equipped and we couldn't fault it in any way. Denise and Andrew are so friendly and helpful nothing is too much trouble. The weather was awful but it didn't spoil our stay. We will definitely be returning

This was one of nicest, most well equipped cottages we have stopped in over 30 years we could not fault it.

It was set in a beautiful location with many attractions in the area. The owners made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them. We would thoroughly recommend Heron Lodge for a comfortable, peaceful holiday and we look forward to going back in due course.

Great location, loved the walk around the lakes, ideal peace and quiet.

The owners were very friendly and helpful, and the accomodation was probably the best equipped that we have ever stayed in. Access to the coast was very easy and there were several eating venues close at hand.

Without doubt Heron Lodge is the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

It is so spacious and so well equipped. Denise and Andy have thought of everything and they are on hand and very approachable if there was to be a problem. The grounds and the lake are well kept and full of wildlife. The cottage was spotlessly clean and Covid safe. Despite looking we could not find any faults with the cottage and it exceeds the description on the website. It is an ideal peaceful location and perfectly positioned to have days out on the Linconshire coast or the market towns. Denise and Andy should be proud of what they have achieved with this cottage. We will certainly be booking again.

Heron Lodge is in a secluded spot where only the occupants and the owners have access to the lakes and the woodland.

There is a wide, gently sloping grassed area at the front of the lodge where my teenage boys loved playing foorball and cricket. We had access to fish in the closest lake which pleased my 15 year old son. In the house, there is a good selection of outdoor games equipment in the boot room,, and a good selection of board games, books, and DVDs. The lodge is immaculate, in both cleanliness and decor. It is light and spacious, and the kitchen is very well equipped. The owners have provided plenty of good information about the area and although the property feels secluded, it is in close proximity to the small market town of Spilsby. Milk, sugar, teabags and coffee, plus a Plum Loaf, were thoughtfully provided on our arrival. The owners Andy and Denise were very approachable and friendly. I don't have any critical comments to make at all - other than keep your eyes peeled for the entrance, which is off quite a busy, speedy B-Road - there are a few properties with a similar address and the entrance to the gravel drive is upon you very quickly. Perhaps maybe a metal heron at the top of the drive?

Stunning cottage and location

The owner phoned me two days before to arrange for check in which was nice and once we arrived made sure we were ok the property was very clean and had everything that we required very well equipped and set in beautiful grounds with wildlife in abundance plenty of Rudd to be caught in the fishing pond all in all a great experience and a lovely break away.

An absolutely beautiful bungalow with everything you could p;ossibly want for a holiday.

The lakes and woodland paths are a joy to walk around with no noise except for the wildlife. PERFECT!

We had a fantastic stay.

Your cottage was one of the best I've ever stayed in. Clean, big, nicely decorated, and packed full of everything you might need on a break. Couldn't recommend it enough

A fabulous cottage which had everything we needed for our stay.

The owners were really helpful and obviously cared about their property and its residents which is evident from the attention to detail and cleanliness. A beautiful semi rural location ideal for a peaceful break. The grounds have lots of different wildlife and the lakes have plenty of fish to see. The fishing lake near the cottage was well stocked with small fish and those that fished were in their element. We didn't find the WiFi connection a problem and was as expected being in a more remote area. We had a great time with good friends and can't wait to return next year.

Fantastic property, very very clean.

Spacious. Comfortable beds. Good loaction to explore from. Plenty of grounds to walk around. Owners on hand if required. Maybe could do with a better TV with Netflix, iPlayer etc but you don't go on holiday to watch TV.

This is a nicely converted, spacious, cosy cottage, situated within the owner's area of natural woodland with four lakes and a wide variety of wildlife.

As well as the immediate surroundings, the cottage is also well situated for visiting the many nature reserves around the north side of the Wash and the wide variety of aircraft museums and heritage centres on the Lincolnshire Wolds. Our only problem was the speed and reliability of the internet connection, partly due to the lack of a fast broadband infrastructure in this part of East Lincolnshire, but also the use of an unreliable powerline connection between the cottage and the owner's bungalow. We solved the problem by setting up our mobile phone as a hotspot and placing it high up on one of the windows facing towards the nearest mast.

The best accommodation we have visited.

The owners were very helpful. There is everything and more that you require for a brilliant holiday. Peaceful surroundings - every comfort - watching wildlife from your lounge window, and perfect peace at night. Will certainly be returning to this wonderful property.

The cottage and surroundings were perfect.

I couldn’t ask for a more perfect setting. The cottage was well equipped with everything one would need and more. The owners were friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend this property

Heron Lodge is probably the best holiday accommodation we have stayed in.

Everything was clean and tidy and the facilities provided were certainly above expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return for another. The owners, Denise and Andrew, were always willing to help and went the extra mile by posting back to me a sticker book bought for a grandchild, which we managed to leave behind at the top of a wardrobe.

The grounds of this beautiful lodge are immaculate and interesting with all the wildlife around you plus the lakes.

A most relaxing holiday in a modern - fully equipped with absolutely all you could desire - holiday home. Wanted for nothing whilst we were there and loved every moment. The fair cost of the week meant it was money well spent !! Sylvia and Peter Wakeman (Wellingborough)

Heron Lodge is superb.

The lodge is modern, comfortable and beautifully presented - a real credit to the owners. Its about a 10 minute drive from Spilsby and sits in open countryside. The lodge itself is about 150m away from the road down a gravel driveway. The open plan layout works well and the lodge felt very spacious although the single bedroom lacks much hanging space and could maybe benefit from some blackout curtains unless you appreciate early starts. The lodge is very well equipped and the owners have clearly put a lot of thought into what guests might need, especially the little 'extra' things such as a picnic basket and binoculars to borrow, spare batteries for the TV remote, notepaper, magnifying glass, plenty of information about the area and its attractions as well as a good selection of books, magazines, DVDs and games for any wet days. It just creates a feeling that everything you might need for a self-catering break is there, including all the things you have forgotten. There was also tea, coffee, milk and cake to greet us with, much appreciated. The real attraction are the 20+ acres of grounds the Lodge sits in and in which guests are able to wander along the mown paths maintained by the owner. The grounds are a little steep in places (but no problem for an 84 year old) and consist of woodland, meadow and four small lakes. A stroll through these grounds observing the wildlife (deer, rabbit, partridge, pheasant, owls and of course Heron amongst others) is a great way to end a Spring day. All in all, can't recommend Heron Lodge highly enough and hope to return one day. Many thanks to the owners for helping to provide a very memorable break

This cottage is situated in the most pleasant surroundings - extensive grounds with lakes and woods and lawns, away from the main road (which is only a B road at that).

Very beautiful and peaceful setting. The cottage itself was extremely clean and well-equipped with good quality fixtures, fittings, soft furnishings, crockery etc. - right down to the quality of towels provided. The owners are a very friendly couple who live nearby and they have thoughtfully provided everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable holiday. We all came home with our batteries fully charged!

Fantastic place.

Quiet, well equipped and owners are a lovely couple who live further down the driveway. Lots of wildlife (watch out for the pheasants who have never heard of the highway code!), rabbits and even a deer. Good fish & chip shop in Spilsby 4 miles away.

The cottage was in beautiful surroundings.

Lots of thoughtful extras set this holiday apart from others and having friendly owners nearby was reassuring.Heron Lodge was clean, modern, warm and very comfortable and I recommend it to all Sykes customers.

It was our 51st wedding anniversary and we could not have chosen better accommodation.

We have hired properties through Sykes before and have never been disappointed but Heron lodge was the pinnacle. Andy and Denise were perfect hosts. Andy was checking drains at the lodge on a freezing Sunday evening, a real star. It's a pity we cannot hire the lodge in high season, a little beyond our means. Cannot recommend this property enough. Give Andy and Denise your full support please. John and Susan Glenn. Sleaford.

Excellent location and facilities.

The cottage was absolutely lovely. Owners were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

We've had a lovely time in this beautifully furnished lodge.

Everything was immaculate, fresh, cosy and clutter free. Very well equipped with everyday essentials. Denise and Andy were such welcoming hosts, who weren't intrusive at all . They left us with a hamper and milk which we thought was very thoughtful, considering it was a last minute booking. Their cottage is next to Heron lodge, but it is positioned in such a way that only the rooftop can be seen from the lodge. We've had a very relaxing time and enjoyed strolling around the lakes, which were very beautiful. A must see are the many beaches- especially during sunrise. We shall definitely be returning in the near future- but for a week as 3 days was just not enough!

Heron Lodge has everything required, just like home from home.

The use of the grounds was enjoyed several times during our stay. The owners were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble to them. Heron Lodge is a lovely base to explore the area. Had a great week.

We had a wonderful Holiday in Heron Lodge beautiful sitting room and bedrooms It was so clean , everything you could want in the kitchen, lovely grounds ideal for older children.

Cottage was stunning everything you could possibly need and more, the owners were extremely helpful and friendly, there if needed but not intrusive could not have done more.

The surroundings were beautiful, our grandsons enjoyed fishing in the Lake, will definitely be returning.

Very well situated to visit tourist attractions, walks and sight seeing.

If you are looking for a quiet relaxing home from home then this is the place to book.

The pictures do not do it justice. As you amble down a very long drive from the road you are instantly forced into a state of relaxation as it is tranquil and inviting. The grounds are just spectacular and go on for acres after acres combined with i think at least 4 lakes. The house - bungalow itself is very well appointed and finished to a high standard. It has all the required facilities and some, you will not need to pack the hair drier either. The hosts are very welcoming and extremely nice - inviting. I didn't want to give a review as we would like to keep this treasure to ourselves for future visits. The nearest town with all the amenities and shops is all but a very short drive. Lots of lovely eateries in the area too. Njoy...

Heron lodge is a beautiful new property which is extremely well equipped.

It is in a perfect setting especially for nature lovers as there are extensive walks around lakes with plenty of wildlife. Andy and Denise were the perfect hosts, friendly and helpful without being intrusive. A welcome pack for making tea and coffee on arrival plus a delicious Lincolnshire plum loaf was just what we needed after a long journey. All the finishing touches made the property very homely and welcoming. This is the best self catering property we’ve stayed in and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lincolnshire.

We had a lovely holiday.

Heron lodge was a really nice place to stay. The grounds were beautiful and our children loved exploring. The owners were really welcoming and always there if we needed anything. Heron lodge is central to all the places we visited. It was nice to be in a place where we could access a variety of things to do in the surrounding towns & villages as well as going to beach in Skegness.
