Lily-pad Lodge Reviews

Can't fault it. Everything you need is here. Good fishing. Hot tub private with a big hedge round it. Our fifth time here. Been to other lodges but this is like home from home.
Wonderful stay. Very peaceful. The lodge had everything we needed and was perfect for a weekend of rest and relaxation. So good weve booked again!
Amazing stay at Lily pad lodge. This was our second visit and we thoroughly enjoyed it, again. Theres everything you need for a friends weekend get together. Will definitely be back.
Angela
Just spent a fabulous weekend away with family. Christmas all the way. The tree and presecco an added touch. So well equipped. Fabulous all round. Have already booked for next year.......Only slight niggle was the hot tub was not checked or topped up.
Lovely, quiet place to stay and the easy way of collectinglocking the lodge was a great idea. The lodge was lovely and finished to a really good standard. A few little cleaning issues in the en suite bathroom. Only thing I would suggest, would be to have had a map of the lodges to see where we were. We had found our lodge plot no18 which was in the email only to find it wasn't ours and had to drive around the site for 10 minutes looking for our lodge. Would have been a 10 and smiling face if these two were sorted but didn't detract from from our lovely stay.
Andrea
This was our second visit 6 Adults to LilyPad and we had such a wonderful stay again. The lodge is great and in such a lovely and tranquil setting. Beautifully furnished and well equipped the only comment would be that the fridge is a bit small and with a wonderful private hot tub. Can only recommend and we are hoping to return soon.
Danielle
From arriving to leaving was just beautiful and scenic would definitely recommend everyone to visit, owners left a bottle of processo in fridge which was perfect as we was gathering as a family for a birthday. Very well looked after if you want to relax it's easily done as theres a hot tub and fishing at the lodge. If you are someone who likes to adventure you can always do licoln town centre as that's wort ah visit, plus the pennell garden centre. We as a family regually book a lodge every year but this has reacted the top and we've stay at various locations. 1010

Really nice place and a great lodge, the only thing I'd point out is that the ... 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
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
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. Hickorys is walking distance and great food.
We had a wonderful stay at LilyPad 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 couldnt have asked for better and we are already considering coming back next year!
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
Phyllis
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!
We had an amazing weekend at Lilypad lodge. We came for a girls weekend and the lodge was very cosy and welcoming. Loved how private the hot tub area is and we also had a Prosecco bottle in the fridge for us, which was a lovely surprise. Well definitely book again and recommend this lodge to all our friends.
Great place to stay,spotlessly clean,lovely view of the lake,we all enjoyed the hot tub,my son enjoyed fishing too. Would definitely love to stay again and would highly recommend.
Enjoyed a relaxing few days in a fantastic lodge. Great amenities and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

Photos dont do the place justice!
Christine
Our second booking in this lovely little lodge. On arrival it was spotless and we enjoyed our stay once again. The cupboards are well stocked with plenty of plates etc, pots and pans. We look forward to booking again later in the year.
Claire
We had a wonderful stay at LilyPad 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
The lodge was amazing, plenty of space for 6 ladies, lovely furnishings. Extremely comfortable and had everything we required. Hot tub was excellent and the view of the lake was great. Would highly recommend. 5 star
Michela
LilyPad 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 ThorpeOnTheHill 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.
Allison
Loved it will be booking again same time next year
Stephanie
Lovely lodge in a quiet location but not too far from shopsfamily days out. Perfect for a break away from everyday life!
Richard
Absolutely wonderful holiday, catching good fish was a bonus. The lodge was superb and we would definitely come again.
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
Sharon
This is a great property that has everything that you need. Its well furnished and the location is fab for a peaceful weekend.
Lovely place, pictures dont do it justice. Could do with some better mattresses and upgrade the TVs they are very slow! Apart from that couldnt fault it lovely little place
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.
The only complaint we had is the stones on the pathsdriveway. 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 walkingpushing path without stones? Thank you
Andrew
Beautiful property, well equipped and perfect location. Would recommend to anyone.
Christine
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 couldnt 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.
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.
Alison
We loved our stay the place is so relaxing and peaceful. The fishing was good even in the rain, the lodge had everything we needed and was welcoming and homely. Thank you for an amazing break.
Spotless. It's our second time here. We will be back. Fishing is good. Hot tub secluded. Perfect.
Tracey

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!
