We, a party of four thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay at Lion Gate Lodge. Although it was cold the Log fire warmed the room up efficiently that we were very warm ourselves. The under floor heating warmed the remaining rooms well. There was every item you could want in the Lodge itself. The sight of the Deer in the field behind the Lodge was an animal that we had never seen up close before. These are not your normal Deer but black fallow deer. The Lodge is close to Lincoln, Skegness or even Mablethorpe. As I said we had an enjoyable week. There was a extensive welcome pack supplied on arrival. Well worth their Five stars.

Excellent location very quiet and relaxing. Waking up and seeing the rare dear outside the window was wonderful. The cottage was well laid out and clean would highly recommend for a great visit.
