Visit you will not be disappointed!!!!"
"Beautiful location with superb lodges"
"Total peace and quiet, the perfect place to chill."
"We had a lovely stay in Foxy at Elton Furze. The lodge is spacious and the two showers rooms are a high spec. The bed was very comfortable. The hot tub is clean and well maintained.
The decking area and hot tub are very private.
One very minor point is that is would be useful in the showers to have a shelf to put toiletries on."
"Our Elton Furze Retreats review: Lovely location, plenty to see in the area and very helpful staff."
"Absolutely perfect."
"If its a quiet couples break away that you are looking for in a peaceful environment then this is the place for you!
In 10 years booking through hoseasons it is by far the quietest and spotlessly clean lodge we have ever stayed in. I have racked my brains for 48 hours to try and find a small fault but quite simply...there are none!
Comfortable, well equipped, luxurious lodge with plenty of space and everything you need.
Will return at some point!
Well done to the entire team at Elton Furze. Exceptional!"
"Beautiful lodge, very clean, great communication from staff. Very well thought out and equipped. We would certainly recommend the Elton Furze Retreats and will definitely be back ourselves."
"Beautiful lodge, very clean, great communication from staff. Very well thought out and equipped. Would return in a heartbeat."
"I booked this as a surprise for my Fiancés birthday . It was the most beautiful place we have ever been too. The lodge was outstanding and if such a high standard. The tranquility and surroundings were second to none. The golf course and club was brilliant and everyone was so friendly. The staff was amazing And couldn’t do enough to help and was so accommodating and friendly and made the whole experience very personal. Even when we come home which we didn’t want to leave they still emailed us such a lovely touch. We would certainly recommend it to everyone and we can’t wait to go back. Thank you Lisa , Fee and Martin xx"
"My partner and I booked The Furze for our 10 year anniversary together and we can 100% say that it definitely met our expectations and more! We absolutely loved it and the cleanliness of the lodge was great. I appreciated every single detail of the lodge, the lighting and heating being on for our welcome, the chocolates and Prosecco… it was just an amazing stay! We would most definitely book again."
"The lodge is one the best I have stayed at. Beautiful scenery and an amazing golf course for those that play. Definitely will be back"
"Excellent! Would defiantly recommend!"
"We have recently returned from an amazingly wonderful 4 night break at Furze Lodge. The perfect and magical setting to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, to enjoy the beautifully fitted out Lodge to a high standard throughout, and relax in the hot tub in a peaceful and secluded surrounding was everything and more that we could have wished for.
The complimentary bottle of prosecco & chocolates were also a special surprise.
We will definitely return, and highly recommend this lodge for your stay."
"We loved our stay. The lodge was beautiful, with all the comforts. Spotless! The hot tub great! We staid in the Furze and as it’s set back from the other 2 lodges, it was very private. It was so comfortable and relaxing that we found it difficult to leave and go back to reality! Although we have not met the staff because we arrived late and left late, the communication was excellent and we knew that we had been taken care of. We would certainly recommend the Elton Furze Retreats and would love to go back ourselves."

A grand Elizabethan mansion with Capability Brown parkland, two gardens and a big woodland adventure play area.

A 100-acre family theme park near Melton Mowbray, with rides, a small zoo and an all-inclusive water park.
Twinlakes is a 100-acre family theme park just north-east of Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire. A large share of the rides are aimed at young children, so it suits families better than thrill-chasing adults.

Tip: Book tickets online in advance, as the park says this usually gets the best savings.

A vast Fenland cathedral with a unique octagonal lantern tower and a tower climb for far-reaching views.
Ely Cathedral stands above the flat Fenland landscape, which is why locals call it "the ship of the Fens". The earliest parts of the present building date to 1083, and it is one of the largest Norman churches built in its day. Its nave is among the longest in Britain, and the central Octagon, with its lantern above, creates a remarkable space inside.
Tip: Book tickets and tours in advance, as tour places are limited, and check opening times first because it is a busy working cathedral.

A Grade I listed Carolean mansion with formal gardens, a deer park and a big adventure playground.
Belton House is a Grade I listed country house near Grantham, built between 1685 and 1687 for the Brownlow family. It sits within formal gardens, including Italian and Dutch gardens, and a wooded park crossed by avenues leading to follies. The park has been home to a herd of fallow deer for over 300 years.

A Tudor and Baroque country house in a Capability Brown park, home to the same family since 1516.
Grimsthorpe Castle is a country house in Lincolnshire, a few miles north-west of Bourne on the A151. Despite the name it isn't a castle in the strict sense, but its towers and outlying pavilions give it a massive, fortress-like look. Much of the Tudor house still stands, and Sir John Vanbrugh designed the Baroque north front, which is regarded as his last masterpiece.
Tip: Head for the Vanbrugh hall and State Dining Room first, then take in the parkland.
