"Nice chilled week away just what we wanted in lovely surroundings. My daughters happy place is in the water. Sat in the hot tub looking over the lake watching the ducks, peaceful. You cant hear the road noice unless you get boy races. My daughter does have complex needs but we just make use of what we have. We took a mobile hoist to meet personal needs, it would been better if it had open base beds. She could get around everywhere in and out of the lodge. The dog had an enclosed area. Shops not that far away. Nice that they had Christmas decorations and trees around the grounds. John was helpful"

"Our lodge was gorgeous, everything you could possibly need, including a dishwasher, full oven, full size fridge freezer, microwave kettle, toaster .. just wow. It's truly a luxury lodge. The site is so peaceful, the hot tub is big enough for four adults - and the complimentary bottle of fizz and chocolates really made my day. Fabulous - very happy to recommend."

"Initial impressions of Bullfinch lodge were good - big lodge, nice outlook across the lake, accessible and secure patio area to keep the dogs away from the river, nice hot tub. Decent sized bedrooms and main living areaThen we started to notice the issues - the toilet that has previously been reviewed months prior, was still leaking when flushed which left a musky smell. The carpets and rugs are very heavily stained and need replacing, lino flooring was dirty with shoe prints everywhere. We had to go and buy wipes to clean the dust off the remotes. Decking area was green and covered in branches. Hot tub initially looked clean, but once the jets are on, showed up all the grime on the water level Unfortunately I feel these issues will only get worse with the lodges being for sale so highly unlikely to change carpets etc while under their ownership On the whole, Id describe it as a change of scenery for us, but with the lack of cleanliness, we wont be bac"

"We enjoyed our stay but as I have said, its a very quiet location. Nice to relax for a few days but you need to go out for your supplies and need a car for this"

"Great holiday, quiet, peaceful and very comfortable.Fishing was great."

"The only thing that stops this being the perfect holiday destination is the fact the beds are not suitable to get a mobile hoist underneath. Beautiful double bed but too, too low. If a mobile hoist or profiling bed were available to hire - even better!"

"Lovely holiday and lodge was lovely. When we arrived there was no reception. Only five lodges, busy building another one so think it's a new site. Some cutlery and dishes were not clean. Clothes airer is needed as there is no where to dry towels. Couldn't get on wifi at all kept saying wrong password, told to move router still couldn't get on, but we still had a lovely time as it was a very quiet and peaceful site."

Verified Guest - Mar 2024
"The lodge is spacious and well kitted out . A few issues that will spoil the holiday is the creaking floor ( it's every step), the flickering lights and bifold doors were sticking .. residue build up in hot tub every use even tho he cleaned with solution each morning"

"I'd read some reviews before our stay that were pretty negative, from lights flicking on and off at will, to filthy hot tubs you could not step into for fear of disease. Any concerns were squashed within 10 mins of arriving. The cabin was lovely, clean and warm. Within the hour, we were soaking in the (very clean) hot tub and as my wife had removed make up before, this is the way it stayed.The bottle of Prosecco in the fridge and box of chocolates was a thoughtful touch which was much appreciated.The view onto the lake was amazing and in the morning as the sun was rising, quite majestic.The light did dim on occasion before returning to normal, indicating some teething issues and possibly a few to many kettles being turned on at the same time, this place is pretty new and this is just a teething issue, I'm sure will be addressed in time.The place feels in the middle of nowhere (which we liked) but Grimsby/Cleethorpes were only a 10 minute drive away. There is also a Service Station a few minutes down the road and the Spar there stocks pretty much most of what you could need for a nice stay at the cabin.All in all a very nice place that we will definitely return to in the warmer months, with fishing rods to try out the lake."

"We stayed here for Christmas (23rd-27th). After reading prior reviews we were hesitant to stay here and if it wasn't for the time of year we would probably have rebooked somewhere else. But, I can honestly say that we had a brilliant time at this lodge. Our welcome pack of a bottle of prosecco and a box of chocolates was lovely. Cleaning supplies and dishwasher tablets provided. It was very clean and quite spacious and beautifully decorated with a Christmas tree and Christmas ornaments. Excellent facilities within the lodge and has TV's in every room with netflix, Disney+ and Amazon. There is WiFi (although quite slow) but we found that ID mobile / Three had 5g signal so we used our own to hotspot. Lots of car parking space (there is a 3 pin plug next to the carpark space if you need to charge EV car through 3 pin but we had enough charge so didn't do this). The hot tub was set at 40degrees and was always hot when we wanted to use it.. it was clean (this was checked and cleaned every morning by the owner) and had no issues with it turning itself off (as previous review said they had). We used the hot tub every day. There are ducks on the lake and we enjoyed feeding them. People in the opposite lodge were fishing. The decking was gated and secure to stop the dog escaping.The lights in the lodge did dim when using the kettle etc but there are lamps around the lodge that didn't. We honestly did not find this an issue. The lodge did not smell of any previous pets staying there. We showered every day (there are 2 showers) and we did not find it leaked to any of the carpets as previous review?? You could not hear any noise from any of the other lodges or surrounding area. We did find that the lights automatically came on around the outside of the lodge at night which I presume are on a sensor which was annoying through the night. All in all I would 100% recommend staying here and would say don't let the previous reviews put you off as it nearly did for us. We would definitely stay again!"

"We absolutely loved our stay here and are already looking to book again! My husband is T4 paraplegic and a manual wheelchair user. Its always tricky finding somewhere that can meet his accessibility needs as well as his love of fishing, being dog friendly and a good quality. We truly hit the jackpot here, its so homely and tranquil. The lodge was immaculately clean on arrival and lovely and warm. The chocolates and Prosecco were a nice touch (and quickly disappeared).Despite the recent storms the fishing setup wasnt a problem its all boarded so he wasnt rolling mud in via the wheelchair. WIFI was good enough to stream TV services and Zoom calls I had to login to without interruption. The main lights can flicker but it wasnt an issue. Staff on site are fabulous, the hot tub was checked daily and nothing was too much trouble. The nearest supermarket is only 5 minutes drive away in Laceby and theres everything you need in the local area. Even our dog looked sad to go home, thank you for a great new years break!!"
