Really nice place and a great lodge, the only thing I'd point out is that the lodge can sleep 6 but the hot tub is a bit of squeeze when there's more than 4 in there, but no complaints otherwise :)

Thankyou so much for the fab feedback Declan . We hope to see you again Property Owner
Jane June 2024

“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 May 2024

“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. Hickory’s is walking distance and great food.

Emily May 2024

“We had a wonderful stay at Lily-Pad 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 couldn’t have asked for better and we are already considering coming back next year!

- Emily, May 2024

Thankyou so much Emily for your feedback . Apologies again for the issue you had . We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future Property Owner
Linda May 2024

“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 :)

- Linda, May 2024

Thankyou Linda for your wonderful feedback We are so pleased you had a lovely holiday. Hopefully see you again soon xx Property Owner
Phyllis April 2024

“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!

- Phyllis, April 2024

We are thrilled you had a relaxing stay . Thankyou for the feedback Property Owner

“We had an amazing weekend at Lily-pad lodge.”

Claire December 2023

“We had a wonderful stay at Lily-Pad 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 :)

“Lily-Pad 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 Thorpe-On-The-Hill 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.

Kim September 2023

“We had a fabulous week in Lily Pad Lodge but few things let it down.”

Only one of the "jets" of the hot tub was working. The fridge freezer needed defrosting and the toilet seat in the bathroom was loose. Also the furniture on the decking was broken and was mentioned in a review over a year ago. Saying that we would definitely return as we had a fantastic time and the fishing

- Kim, September 2023

Hi Kim Thanks for taking the time to give feedback. Sorry you had a few issues The love seat has now been replaced , as well as the hot tub being serviced shortly. We really do hope you choose Lily-Pad again in the future :) Property Owner

alan July 2023

“This lodge is not suitable for the disabled.”

The sofa and chairs have no support for anyone with back problems and the seating is far to lowt. the bed also is much to be desired. all in all not the best of lodges for the disabled.

- alan, July 2023

Hi Alan, We are sorry to hear you wasn't happy with your stay. However, our lodge is clearly advertised as wheel chair friendly, meaning level access throughout, ramped access, wider doorways and accessible shower, not as a disabled adapted lodge. We do feel the description and photographs advertising our lodge are very true reflection of what is offered there. Thank you LPL Owners Property Owner
David June 2023

“The only complaint we had is the stones on the paths/driveway.”

My husband is disabled and it is impossible to push a wheel chair or walker on those stones. Would it be possible to have a small walking/pushing path without stones? Thank you

- David, June 2023

Hi David, thanks for taking the time for this feedback. we are in talks with site owners regarding the gravel. we are hoping to have a more suitable pathway in place in the near future. we are pleased you were happy with everything else. thanks LPL owners Property Owner

“Lovely, cosy and welcoming little lodge.”

It was spotless when we arrived and we soon settled in. Every morning and evening it was 'Nature Watch' out of the window with the various birds, rabbits etc. Cupboards were well stocked with crockery, cutlery and cooking pans. This little gem is ideal for a getaway with plenty to do around the area if you so wish. We will be booking again in the near future.

“A great place to stay, the lodge was spotless on our arrival and we couldn’t fault anything.”

Peaceful location, with hot tub what more could you want. Easy reach to Lincoln for shopping, Cathedral many restaurants and a lovely small theatre where we enjoyed a great show as good as any London performance.

Alan April 2023

“Visiting our Grandson & family who live in Lincoln, Thorpe Lodges are ideal for us.”

We had a problem with the heating system but that was rectified within two hours of telling the owner. Everything you need is there, the view is lovely and the fishing is brilliant. The only bad thing was the weather, (rather cold for end of April) which no one can control.

Needs hot tub topping up but no one came and some of the jets didn’t work Would of been nice to have something to lite the fire with

- Tracey, March 2023

Hi Tracey, thank you for the feed back. The hot tub was cleaned and filled the day you arrived and also the Monday, we provided our full contact details. if you had any issues it should of been reported during your stay and we would of dealt with promptly. We provide plastic glasses for use in the hot tub, we would of preferred these were used during your stay instead of glass. We found a lot of broken glass in the hot tub after your stay. the jets have been checked and work fine, doesn't help some had been removed during your stay. we provide kinderlin and logs in the basket beneath the log burner and matches are stored safely in the utility room cupboard away from the reach of children, we are sorry you didn't come across this on your stay. all the best Lily-pad lodge owner Property Owner
Sky February 2023

“Absolutely loved being here!”

Its really pretty and the facilities at the lodge we're fantastic. It was lovely and quiet when we went, which was perfect! Everything we wanted and needed were only a 5 minute drive away which brilliant! The hot tub and log burner was amazing! Really, really enjoyed our stay away. Looking forward to coming back! Was slightly confused with there being no radiators but the under floor heating, really made up for it! Thank you for a lovely stay! Wish we could of been there longer!

Hi Sky, thanks for the lovely feedback. yes the Under floor heating is in place of radiators but we feel it really makes the lodge cosy. we look forward to you staying again with us, All the best Lily-pad lodge owners Property Owner

Julie December 2022

“Our stay at lily pad was tranquil and cosy.”

Everything you need at hand and a fab position on the lake. My son fished, and caught quite a few, making his stay even more enjoyable. The hot tub was enjoyed by most of us, with a welcoming couple of bottles of fizz. The location is great for local amenities and attractions. Our only niggle was the beds felt quite basic, no one had a great sleep in them. The bedding also was very basic. It was the only thing that was disappointing. Everything else about this property was magical.

- Julie, December 2022

HI Julie, thanks for the Feedback. we will look at the bed situation, sorry you didn't have a great nights sleep. this is the 1st time this has been reported to us. all the best Lily-pad lodge owner Property Owner

Gillian September 2022

“We had a lovely relaxing week stay at Lily-Pad Lodge.”

The lodge was very clean and contained everything we needed. Robes provided for use with the hot tub were a lovely touch. We had a problem with the jets in the hot tub which we reported on the first night, this was sorted out the following day. My husband and son thoroughly enjoyed the fishing, had plenty of bites every day. There were two pegs immediately in front of the lodge but you could also fish of the other pegs around the lake. Angling direct was only about half a mile away if you run out of supplies. There were plenty of pubs serving food within a 5-10 min drive, we also had a delivery from a local take away one evening, we just had to meet them at the barrier to pick up the food, which is only a couple of minutes walk from the lodge. There is a large Asda store close by, only about a mile away, but there is a Spar and Co-op closer still. The only negatives we found were two of the chairs in the lounge area weren't very comfortable, and the love seat on the decking although fairly comfortable was giving way underneath. Overall we had an excellent time and wouldn't hesitate to return.

- Gillian, September 2022

thanks for the good feedback, apologises on the hot tub jet issue. we are please it was resolved promptly. thanks you for the points raised on the chairs we will take a look at this. we hope you return again soon thanks Lily-pad lodge owners Property Owner

Beata July 2022

“We enjoyed staying there, it was a very peaceful place to stay in.”

We enjoyed the hot tub even if there was only one side working. Kids enjoyed feeding fish in the lake the picture on the website needs to be updated because the living room has a different sofa and coffee table on the website but in reality, we got different equipment in the living room. Also, the freezer has to be defrosted.

- Beata, July 2022

Hi, Thanks for the lovely feedback. Thank you for letting us know on the hot tub jets. our maintenance contractor has been to site and resolved this issue, apologises on this. we are in the process of updating the photos for the new furniture in the lounge on Sykes website and should be live soon, we feel the new furniture is a great improvement to the lodge. also, thank you for letting us know on the freezer, this is being addressed at our next opportunity. we look forward to your next visit with us.

Carolyn July 2022

“We had a lovely time in Lily Pad lodge.”

It was everything we needed, and the hot tub was fantastic in the heatwave. We loved the fact that the hot tub was private unlike some on the site. Everything was clean, well thought out, with a welcome message, a bottle of Prosecco, and we loved it. A clothes airer would have been welcome for spreading wet swimming costumes on and we noticed that some of the hot tub jets weren’t working, but to be honest that didn’t stop us enjoying ourselves and it was so good to stay somewhere with a good freezer in the heat rather than just a small compartment.

- Carolyn, July 2022

Hi, Thanks for the great feed back, we are really pleased you had a lovely stay with us. we do have a clothes airer which is located within the shed, we will make a note within the lodge where this is stored so it isn't missed by future guests. thanks for letting us know about the hot tub jets. we have had our maintenance contractor to site and has resolved this issue, apologises if this caused you any issues. Hope you visit again in the near future. All the best, Lily-pad lodge owners. Property Owner

Jackie May 2022

“Well equipped, clean and comfortable Site itself looks a little untidy and unfinished?”

Needed some info on walking routes to such as local nature reserve Was unsure if walking round the lake allowed due to neighbour to left having a private access sign on a gate? They also had quite an unruly dog that kept running loose and going in the lake scaring the waterbirds We had a great time chilling and using hot tub but weather was so hot could've done with a cooler tub haha....British weather hey!

John November 2021

“Everything was as described and the cottage and location were perfect.”

However there are a couple of things that would make the experience better - We were unable to get to our cottage as there was an electronic barrier preventing us getting into the holiday park. After a 2.5 hour drive the last thing we wanted was a delay when we were so close to our cottage. We eventually piggy-backed another resident to get in. Once in we then couldn't find the cottage as we went to number 18 ( we assumed plot 18 would be number 18 ) a neighbour of number 18 pointed us to the correct cottage. When we got the keys I assumed the the fob was for the barrier so we left the park thinking we could get back in using the fob, however when we returned in the pitch dark we were once again locked out by the barrier. I had to go knocking on other cottages to find out what to do. We eventually got a phone number to operate the barrier. There was no mention of the barrier in the joining instructions !! regards John

- John, November 2021

Hi John, thanks for the feedback. sorry to hear you had difficulties gaining access to the site. we have just checked and we did send you an email dated 10.11.21 which was before your visit with a letter attached detailing the access to the site along with the telephone number for the barrier. within the letter it also gives clear instructions on how to find the way to our lodge. We are very pleased you did enjoy your stay, despite this confusion. All the best, Lily-pad Lodge. Property Owner

The whole site was great, very peaceful and excellent location with easy access to surrounding towns and cities.

Would reccomend to anyone, thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay and wished we could have stayed for longer. Thank you.

“There is some building work going on next door.”

The builders were absolutely fine but just do people know as it will be gonna on for sometime. There were a couple of faults on the cottage, kick Board was trapped and could not use dishwasher and the oven doesn’t work. However, when reported the tradesmen cane out quickly and were very polite. They fixed what they could there and then and have orders parts for what could be fixed (oven). Fishing is great. Hot tub is lovely. Facilities excellent.

Stuart June 2019

“We’ve done a few self catering cottages over the years but for us, personally, it was just what the doctor ordered.”

Seems like your miles from anywhere but everything you want is about 5 minutes away. The lodge was beautifully presented and the fishing was a great pastime, enabling me to catch the biggest fish I’ve ever landed. Don’t want to recommend this place ‘cos then everyone will know about it but,seriously, this is one fantastic cottage.

- Stuart, June 2019
Meghan May 2019

“A group of 6 of us went for my 21st birthday and we just were in love with it.”

It is kept clean and is fitted with all the essentials - including a wine cooler for the Prosecco! The hot tub was perfect and just a step away from the lodge meaning you don’t have to have the cold walk back to the door. We also loved the fact we had dressing gowns. The site as a whole is stunning and well maintained. We would 100% recommend Lily-Pad Lodge!

“Absolutely stunning place!”

Felt like a home from home, everything was outstanding about the lodge and the surroundings. The lodge is just like the photographs. We were apprehensive when we got an email to say there would building work right next to our lodge, and all I can say is what building work?!? You can see the new lodge being built we we honestly never heard a thing. All in all it was a great place and such a relaxing experience and atmosphere, we are already looking to book for next year!

“This was a beautiful lodge, in a very lovely setting.”

Nice and peaceful and only a short drive into Lincoln, which we loved. We also liked the farm shop and restaurant at Doddington Hall, which was only a few minutes drive away. The Swan Holme restaurant was definitely worth a visit.

“I couldn't have wished for a better place to stay, was far beyond expectations, everything we could have hoped for and even more, really clean and supplied us with everything we needed (baby cot and high chair etc).”

... Exceeded all expectations

“A nice setting which was quiet but only a 2 minute drive to restaurants / garden centre / petrol station etc The kitchen is well equipped and the sofa is nice and comfy to relax on, the hot tub was a nice added bonus.”

The log burner stove is great although disappointing we didn’t get a starter pack as mentioned so we went to the garage to get some logs. We all really enjoyed our stay and the building work going on seemed low key and we didn’t really see much activity. The recycle bin was full when we got there and there was no guidance on bin days which could help guests in the future. We would defiantly stay here again highly recommend

“Perfect log cabin.”

We had a lovely three nights in the lodge, the decor and facilities exceeded my expectations. The location is perfect for nearby Lincoln there is also plenty of restaurants , takeaways and supermarkets nearby. The hot tub is amazing we were hardly out of it. Would definitely return and will be recommending.

“We had a fabulous few days, such a relaxing place to stay, and perfect for both my elderly parents and teenager kids.”

The weather was great which was a bonus, the welcoming bottle of proseco was a treat from the owner (thank you), great fishing for amatures, and lovely hot tub. Would definitely recommend and would love to return at some point. Only improvement would be instructions on how to get into the site in the first place, and a little more detail on practical aspects of the lodge, i. E microwave instructions, recycling etc. Lovely relaxing time, thanks.

“Lily Pad Lodge is a gorgeous lodge in a beautiful, relaxing location.”

Harnit July 2018

“The lodge we stayed in was really lovely, with really beautiful surroundings.”

I would highly recommend this place, however there were a few things that would of made it more comfortable, this would of been a fan. It was an extremely hot weekend and the heat made it unbareable at times. Also the main bathrooms shower didn't work therefore the 6 of us staying could only make use of the shower in the onsuite. Which have it's limitations and this is why I scored it lower in facilities/comfort and an overall 8. Otherwise we all really had an enjoyable stay.

“Really enjoyed the holiday the lodge was spacious, modern, clean , in a great setting and the hot tub was a fab way to end the day .”

Took both our Mums so everything on one level and having two bathrooms was ideal as they are both disabled. Lovely view of the lake, fully equipped and a really relaxing base. Had lovely days out in the local area.

“Lack of communication from Sykes.”

On arrival at the park we were met with an electronic gate with no way to gain entry, after being there for 15 - 20 minutes another holidaymaker arrived and kindly let us in. On checking my confirmation e-mail I should have received another e-mail 48 hours prior to arrival with all the contact numbers required which I never received, needless to say this was not a good start to our holiday, very frustrating. Other than the initial poor start the lodge and fishing were exceptional.

Lisa June 2018

“Honestly, this lodge was absolutely perfect!”

We couldn’t have asked for anything more and thoroughly ended our stay there...just wished we’d booked longer! We will definitely be looking at rebooking this lodge again. Perfect
