  Overall a pleasant stay.

  The positives were a nice location, quiet and relaxing. The lodge was a great size and had all the basic items you could want for a mini break. The check in process was very easy and we liked the fact there was no reception and you just get the keys yourself. Parking was next to the lodge and space for two cars. On entering the lodge it was bright and spacious, modern and very inviting. Lovely welcome bottle of wine and chocolates was a lovely gesture! There was tea, coffee and milk also provided which was thoughtful. Plenty of space for the two of us, the hot tub was lovely and warm and a welcome thing after a long day of walking, not as private as we had hoped as a little exposed as the lodge is by the entrance to the site, some more fencing would solve that in full. Two bathrooms was a bonus, both with showers so made getting ready a bit quicker and easier not waiting for one person to shower first - the shower heads were not the best so don’t expect a rain shower experience! But certainly the water was hot and did the job! Heated towel rails were a nice touch as was the shampoo/shower gel provided! Some points that were not so positive however were: One of the double door cupboards had loose screw/hinges by the oven, as soon as we opened it, it fell off. Managed to put it back together and we took photos when we checked in. It would have been nice to have been able to email the issues to the property team, but no email just a number to call but with limited mobile signal was difficult to connect, and this couldn’t be reported via the Sykes App either. There is an internet service free in the lodge with WiFI but this was very slow at times which whilst not a dealbreaker did make for watching movies/Netflix in the evening annoying as the films kept constantly buffering (even on low quality setting) which was a little frustrating. The same applies to Amazon Prime and any on demand service. WiFI was very slow when trying to use internet and email as well. At one point it just stopped working despite rebooting the router. Mobile signal hit and miss, so just be aware it’s a poor signal area I think in general. The housekeepers could do with cleaning under the sofas, there was loads of dust and hair on the floor, the same on the rug - your socks were covered within seconds of walking on it which with a decent hoover shouldn’t be the case! I fully appreciate this lodge is pet friendly and we took our 2 year old cockerspaniel with us but a little more attention to this cleaning could easily be achieved. There were a lot of marks on the white walls, scrapes and marks which again just need a tidy up, the same with cobwebs on the higher glass windows. Just this little attention to detail and it could be a 5* product! It didn’t detract from our enjoyment but is just feedback. Kitchen storage space is limited for food as there is one big cupboard that is useless due to being built under a beam so it can’t open - again not a major issue but meant that you couldn’t use the biggest cupboard for food storage. Cutlery was an issue, 3 forks and 4 knives/spoons was annoying, perhaps another set could be supplied? The main bedroom mattress was very firm, I know this is personal preference but it did hamper a good nights sleep. There is the room also to provide a king size bed rather than a double. In this day and age most people have king size beds now, but again personal preference. Linen was comfy, fresh and clean. Towels a little on the small side so if you love a bath sheet then I suggest you take your own with you! Overall it was a nice break for 4 days, we would most likely go back again in the not to distant future.

  The property looked beautiful and was very clean and warm.

  There were plenty of towels., cutlery and crockery. The lodge was in need of some maintenance - small job which would have made a big difference such an the kitchen a leaking tap and the tap itself had a bit missing making it difficult to tighten. The kitchen lighting had bulbs out, including the extractor fan. As we went in autumn and these were the only lights over the kitchen area, it made cooking tricky as the lights available were dim. One cupboard can't be used as it has been fitted under a beam and opens upwards, so it looks great but is useless, which left very little storage space. The utility was really useful but I made the mistake of storing bulky bread items in there and the heat from the oven on the back of the wall meant everything went hard! Frustratingly when we arrived the toilet roll left in the bathroom was almost empty - about 10 sheets lefts, and the spare was only half full, so the first job was a trip to the shop to buy some! The site itself was small and quiet, although something really needs to be done about the area around the only bins, we had to plough through thick mud just to dispose of our black bin bag and unfortunately there was more than one occasion of someone completely slipping over! So I would advise anyone going this time of year to pack wellies and a couple of spare outfits if you intend on having any rubbish! The furniture looks lovely but it is all value products (likely ikea) which can be come uncomfortable after a while, but there were plenty of cushions throws etc. The cottage is dog friendly but there is no hoover, so by the end of our stay there was a lot of hair on the rug etc that we had no way of cleaning. The hot tub was lovely - if there was any maintenance during our stay they must have been very quiet and discreet as we didn't hear them once! We did really enjoy our stay, and given the price we paid we weren't bothered about the issues listed above, but just wanted to note them for future improvements!

  Hi, we really enjoyed our weekend at 64 Acorn Lodge.

  The lodge is great! Very spacious, and lovely and clean on our arrival. The beds are so comfortable and the bedding is excellent. Plenty of good quality towels. Tried not to use them all, although had two small children so ended up doing so. The outside enclosed area was perfect and very secure for the children to play and our dog. Was a nice addition having the hot tub! The shower in the en-suite was very powerful, nice after a long day. We couldn’t get the TV to work in the end bedroom, it wouldn’t tune into anything or pick up a proper picture. Tried changing the aerial cable, but wouldn’t work. Our apologies for not taking the rubbish to the big bins, every inch of our car was full, and being Nana and Auntie to two small children, leaving by 10am was a major feat in its self for us! The children loved the lodge and its surroundings, they even picked a tree, the very large pine tree which we passed every time we drove in and out near the lodge, and said goodbye to it when we left. The area is so quiet and perfect for walks, it was lovely to walk and pick wild blackberries with my four year old granddaughter. We plan to come back with the children next year. Thank you for such a lovely stay.

  In Dec'23 'Alan' commented: "hot water system needs looking at as struggled to get hot water through but generally overall was ok.

  " The owner replied: "Thank you for the feedback this will help us move forward on whats needed as we built our holiday home." - June '24 hot water STILL Needs looking at. Furniture uncomfortable and too low. Better off sitting on the floor. Windows dirty. Decking slippery when wet - very slippery. I almost slipped once but I'd learned my lesson from one of my dogs who did slip. He pulled out a paw nail and cracked another and I took extra special care. I guess the owner will have this looked at too, just like the hot water. I'll never know, I won't be back. I'll pitch a tent in the back garden first. Because of the dog's injury we left half-way through the holiday. Couldn't get him into the car. Couldn't get him out of the car, he was in too much pain. As to the area - a dump. Great if you like to spend your time boozing or playing bingo. But to take the dogs out... Hell will probably freeze over before the beach gets a Blue Flag. I could go on but I think prospective guests will get the message. BTW, could never find an owner's representative.

  Very nice holiday home in Cherry Park, ideal for 2 people.

  We had a great time in this tiny home in Lincolnshire and it was ideal for exploring Skegness and Chapel St. Leonards. The beds and sofa were comfortable, the kitchen was clean and well stocked, and the property was quiet even though there were a lot of holiday-makers making a lot of noise outside. We did not have towels even though the listing mentioned it, but thankfully we always carry spare towels so it was okay. One suggestion would be to provide clearer instructions to the property. We followed the instructions past the fish & chips shop and then kept going in the hope of finding a junction. It should just say 2nd entrance to Cherry Park instead of keep going beyond the chip shop. Small thoughtful touches like kitchen roll, extra toilet rolls and handwash meant that we did not need to search for essentials, so that was appreciated. The home is small but comfortable and the area is convenient to drive to a number of good beaches and shops.
