    Denise and Andy work very hard at maintaining the Lodge up to an extremely high standard. The Lodge is very comfortable, exceptionally clean and well equipped, nothing is left to chance. Denise and Andy are on hand just down the drive if you need them. The Lodge sits in beautiful grounds and lakes which are a must for a walk. There's lots to do in the area whatever your interests are, from Antiques, seaside, historical interests and walking. We highly recommend Heron Lodge. Thank you Denise and Andy.

  • "Lovely place to stay."

    The woods and the lakes in such close proximity was awesome. There’s a bench near the lake not too far from the property that was a great spot for a bit of peaceful relaxation. The property was well furnished and comfy, though some of the sofas are at a distance and at a bad angle from the tv and you’re not allowed to move them. It was good to see a large selection of books, games, and jigsaws; Many places we’ve stayed at stopped doing this since Covid. Overall highly recommended.

    ! Lovely open view and we enjoyed watching geese, goslings and two different species of deer. The owners occupy the only other property, only their rooftop is visible, so you are not overlooked. The owners are charming, helpful, but never obtrusive and have provided everything in the cottage to the highest standard. Spotlessly clean, tasteful furnishings, comfortable sofas and comfortable beds. There is a nicely paved and furnished private patio area complete with barbecue. The location is good for touring this area of Lincolnshire. We have rented holiday cottages for 35 years and recommend Heron Lodge as one of the best.

    There is a wide, gently sloping grassed area at the front of the lodge where my teenage boys loved playing foorball and cricket. We had access to fish in the closest lake which pleased my 15 year old son. In the house, there is a good selection of outdoor games equipment in the boot room,, and a good selection of board games, books, and DVDs. The lodge is immaculate, in both cleanliness and decor. It is light and spacious, and the kitchen is very well equipped. The owners have provided plenty of good information about the area and although the property feels secluded, it is in close proximity to the small market town of Spilsby. Milk, sugar, teabags and coffee, plus a Plum Loaf, were thoughtfully provided on our arrival. The owners Andy and Denise were very approachable and friendly. I don't have any critical comments to make at all - other than keep your eyes peeled for the entrance, which is off quite a busy, speedy B-Road - there are a few properties with a similar address and the entrance to the gravel drive is upon you very quickly. Perhaps maybe a metal heron at the top of the drive?

    As well as the immediate surroundings, the cottage is also well situated for visiting the many nature reserves around the north side of the Wash and the wide variety of aircraft museums and heritage centres on the Lincolnshire Wolds. Our only problem was the speed and reliability of the internet connection, partly due to the lack of a fast broadband infrastructure in this part of East Lincolnshire, but also the use of an unreliable powerline connection between the cottage and the owner's bungalow. We solved the problem by setting up our mobile phone as a hotspot and placing it high up on one of the windows facing towards the nearest mast.

  • "Heron Lodge is superb."

    The lodge is modern, comfortable and beautifully presented - a real credit to the owners. Its about a 10 minute drive from Spilsby and sits in open countryside. The lodge itself is about 150m away from the road down a gravel driveway. The open plan layout works well and the lodge felt very spacious although the single bedroom lacks much hanging space and could maybe benefit from some blackout curtains unless you appreciate early starts. The lodge is very well equipped and the owners have clearly put a lot of thought into what guests might need, especially the little 'extra' things such as a picnic basket and binoculars to borrow, spare batteries for the TV remote, notepaper, magnifying glass, plenty of information about the area and its attractions as well as a good selection of books, magazines, DVDs and games for any wet days. It just creates a feeling that everything you might need for a self-catering break is there, including all the things you have forgotten. There was also tea, coffee, milk and cake to greet us with, much appreciated. The real attraction are the 20+ acres of grounds the Lodge sits in and in which guests are able to wander along the mown paths maintained by the owner. The grounds are a little steep in places (but no problem for an 84 year old) and consist of woodland, meadow and four small lakes. A stroll through these grounds observing the wildlife (deer, rabbit, partridge, pheasant, owls and of course Heron amongst others) is a great way to end a Spring day. All in all, can't recommend Heron Lodge highly enough and hope to return one day. Many thanks to the owners for helping to provide a very memorable break

  • "We've had a lovely time in this beautifully furnished lodge."

    Everything was immaculate, fresh, cosy and clutter free. Very well equipped with everyday essentials. Denise and Andy were such welcoming hosts, who weren't intrusive at all . They left us with a hamper and milk which we thought was very thoughtful, considering it was a last minute booking. Their cottage is next to Heron lodge, but it is positioned in such a way that only the rooftop can be seen from the lodge. We've had a very relaxing time and enjoyed strolling around the lakes, which were very beautiful. A must see are the many beaches- especially during sunrise. We shall definitely be returning in the near future- but for a week as 3 days was just not enough!

    The use of the grounds was enjoyed several times during our stay. The owners were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble to them. Heron Lodge is a lovely base to explore the area. Had a great week.

  • "If you are looking for a quiet relaxing home from home then this is the place to book."

    The pictures do not do it justice. As you amble down a very long drive from the road you are instantly forced into a state of relaxation as it is tranquil and inviting. The grounds are just spectacular and go on for acres after acres combined with i think at least 4 lakes. The house - bungalow itself is very well appointed and finished to a high standard. It has all the required facilities and some, you will not need to pack the hair drier either. The hosts are very welcoming and extremely nice - inviting. I didn't want to give a review as we would like to keep this treasure to ourselves for future visits. The nearest town with all the amenities and shops is all but a very short drive. Lots of lovely eateries in the area too. Njoy...

  • "Heron lodge is a beautiful new property which is extremely well equipped."

    It is in a perfect setting especially for nature lovers as there are extensive walks around lakes with plenty of wildlife. Andy and Denise were the perfect hosts, friendly and helpful without being intrusive. A welcome pack for making tea and coffee on arrival plus a delicious Lincolnshire plum loaf was just what we needed after a long journey. All the finishing touches made the property very homely and welcoming. This is the best self catering property we’ve stayed in and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lincolnshire.

  • "We had a lovely holiday."

    Heron lodge was a really nice place to stay. The grounds were beautiful and our children loved exploring. The owners were really welcoming and always there if we needed anything. Heron lodge is central to all the places we visited. It was nice to be in a place where we could access a variety of things to do in the surrounding towns & villages as well as going to beach in Skegness.
