Boasting a clad structure with a rear decking housing a hot tub, Lodge 12 provides an excellent escape for a family looking to escape normality and uncover this part of Lincolnshire.

The beds were comfy, and although we all prefer a higher back sofa (just being picky!) this was comfy also. The park the lodge is situated on is well maintained and looked after. Really don't have a bad word to say about the Lodge, the gent who works/lives there in charge of maintenance was lovely, a good chat was had. Super friendly. We also bumped into the cleaners on our day of departure and they were both lovely also. Our only points to note: -A roll out awning over the hot tub could be a plus for those bad weather visits. -We kept our dogs on leads but there were owners who did not, and had 2 larger dogs running free. No big issue, just a note to be wary of if you have nervous dogs. -An outdoor mat for the front door would be usefull for muddy weather, theres an inside one but would rather scrape our feet before muddying this one up.

Overall first impressions were impressive with a larger than expected space inside the lodge, cleanliness was spot on and it had a rustic character to the outside while being very modern and cozy on the inside. There was wine and chocolates left for us which was really nice and there were plenty of towels, bedding, shower and hand soaps and even a kitchen cleaning kit available. The place was well heated, had a smart TV that actually worked and had all the modern facilities needed for a comfy stay. It wasn't long before we dived into the hot tub and this was really the best part of what we came for - it got used every day even when it was snow sleet and ice outside we still got ourselves in there it was terrific. Overall I would give this a 4 and a half out of 5 (erring closer to a 5 than a 4) - however there are just 2 small things that would have made a HUGE difference to this stay... Firstly - the double bed - it's an IKEA double at a guess and as we both know from prior experiences with these they are NOT a full double. You see, a standard double is classed as being 135cm across - but what happens on these IKEA beds is whilst the frame may be 135cm, the actual mattress sits inside the frame making the actual mattress a lot smaller (typically 128-130cm at best). While that may not seem much of a difference, you really do notice it because we both found it extremely cramped and so the last few nights we actually ended up sleeping on the single beds just to get more space. This was a real shame because the amount of space in that room would not only accommodate a full double, but even a king size would easily fit in there with space to spare. The second point is the rear decking to the hot tub - now from what we have heard, lodge 12 enjoys one of the most private hot tubs available on site, with solid fencing right around. The problem was that there was an opening, and there was no gate or anything. This was a real shame because it meant whenever we were outside in the hot tub we were having to lock the dog inside because otherwise it would be easy for him to escape. I would STRONGLY recommend having a secure gate installed as this would mean the world for dog owners and even families with very young children. I don't want these points made to detract too much from the excellent stay we both had at lodge 12, because it truly was one of the best getaways we have both ever experienced - but these two points mentioned would have made it absolutely perfect and we would definitely consider returning at some point if these matters were dealt with but I can definitely recommend this lodge to anyone.
