"A five star lodge - would definitely recommend. If you like wildlife and watching the world go by, then this place is definitely for you."

"Our second stay at Noah's Retreat this year and we were not disappointed. Bulfinch Lodge was perfect for us. The accessibility features were great for my wife and the fishing was good for me even if tough because of recent weather - low water levels and hot. We did enjoy the sun though."

"Accomodation was lovely for a relaxing break by the lake. Our large breed dog was also extremely relaxed here. Such a lovely setting and views from living room and decking were perfect. Partner really enjoyed his fishing. We stayed in Falcon lodge and kitchen tap could do with a repair where the thread is bare so constantly falls off but can still be used. Wet room could do with a wet brush to sweep water towards drain otherwise you do find the room stays very wet after shower is used and need to wear shoes in there to use sink and toilet. A hoover would have been great to hoover up dog hair during our stay but we did not enquire so unsure if 1 would be available upon request. These were all minor issues and did not spoil our stay. We visiting Fitties beach each day for our dog to have a good run around and get wet. We would love to come back. Everyone was so friendly. Supermarkets close by and take aways delivered to your door if you don't fancy venturing out."

"Our Noahs Retreat review: Loved the lodge and settings, very peaceful and relaxing break. We stayed in Chaffinch Lodge which had a bit more space either side as currently space for more lodges. We didn't actually fish ourselves but did see others fishing from their lodge. You could actually see the fish in the water and occasionally they jumped out of the water. Lots of Ducks and geese on the lake as well to watch and we had dragonflies and damselflies. We had a couple of issues but rang the after hours number and John was round within the hour. We had a problem with the cooker as they were waiting for the engineer but they had provided an air fryer/grill, we just had to change what we were planning on eating. We managed to get 3 of the 5 bi-fold doors open which was lovely as we were there when it was red hot, think the other 2 just needed a bit more force at the bottom but we didn't want to break them so left them 2 closed. We didn't spot the wood walk until the last day which was ideal for taking a dog for a walk or the kids exploring, (check out the Alice in Wonderland characters). Plenty of places to visit within an hours drive and a golf course next door. Local Spar just off the roundabout and Morrisons 10 mins drive."

"Bullfinch lodge , brilliant location, allows dogs, good facilities for disabled but the beds were very soft, lodge needs some TLC as wet room was leaking from shower area down to toilet, no grab rails in the wet rooms, rugs were getting to look quite old,"

"We stayed in Whimbrel 5 and were surprised by the facilities on offer as they're not mentioned anywhere on the Hoseasons website. The lodge has a washer drier, a dishwasher and great WiFi. The hot tub was lovely with views over the lake."

"This place is a hidden gem! Peaceful, tranquil just what we needed! The lodge had everything you needed and we even had a bottle of Prosecco and box of chocolates on arrival. We will be booking again! Thank you for a memorable stay!"

"We had a really relaxing week here, just what we needed. The surroundings are lovely and peaceful, perfect for unwinding. Our daughters favourite spot is definitely the water - she loves it! Sitting in the hot tub, watching the ducks on the lake, was just perfect. We barely heard any road noise unless there were boy races nearby, which wasnt often. We brought a mobile hoist to help with her needs, though it wouldve been even better if the beds had open bases so she could move around easier. The dog loved having a secure space of its own. Shops arent too far away and it was nice to see Christmas decorations everywhere around the grounds. John was really helpful too!"

"A really beautiful setting nice peaceful and relaxing atmosphere very clean and tidy lodge and site"
Stephen - Oct 2024
"Overall, we had a lovely time, though its really peaceful here, which is great for relaxing. Just a heads-up, youll need a car since shops are a bit of a drive away. Perfect if youre after quiet!"
Claire - Jul 2024
"We really loved this place, but the beds are a bit of a pain if you need a hoist. They look lovely, but theyre way too low for that sort of equipment. Would be amazing if they offered profiling beds or hoist hire options, honestly. Still, gorgeous spot!"

"Our stay was quite relaxing and the lodge itself was lovely. We arrived to find no reception, which was a bit odd, but the site was peaceful, probably because theyre still developing it since only five lodges are finished. A few bits like cutlery and dishes werent quite clean and an airer wouldve been handy since theres nowhere to hang towels. WiFi was a nightmare-kept saying wrong password, even after moving the router. Still, we really enjoyed the quiet vibe!"
Harriet Collins - Apr 2024
"We had a lovely stay at the lodge! The hot tub was great and everything was spotless. The owner was super friendly and helpful. Beds were plush, though a shower chair would help those with mobility issues."
Emily Carter - Mar 2024
"Wed heard some pretty mixed reviews before booking, with worries about flickering lights and dirty hot tubs that seemed more like a health hazard than relaxing. Honestly, our experience was quite the opposite. The cabin was spotlessly clean, warm and cosy right from the start. We were in the hot tub within an hour and it was super clean - my wife had taken her make-up off beforeh and, so we could really enjoy it without any worries. The view over the lake was stunning, especially at sunrise-it really did take our breath away. The occasional dimming of the lights did catch us off guard at first, but it seemed like some teething issues with the new place, possibly from too many kettles being used at once. Nothing major and Im sure theyll sort it out soon enough. The location felt quite remote, which we loved - peace and quiet, with Grimsby and Cleethorpes just ten minutes away by car. Theres also a handy service station nearby and the Spar stocks most things you might need for a comfy stay. We really enjoyed ourselves and are already planning to come back in the warmer months, maybe with some fishing rods to try out on the lake. All in all, a lovely stay and definitely worth returning to!"

"Loved our stay overall, just a few lights flickered quite a bit, but nothing major."
Rachel - Feb 2024
"We had a lovely few days over the Christmas and New Year period with our extended family of 10, from teenagers to seniors. The welcome gift and subtle festive decorations really added a warm touch when we arrived. The lodge was beautifully done up, high-spec and cosy, though with only six comfy seats, some of us had to settle for the dining chairs or pull in outside ones to sit together. Its well equipped, but a couple of pint glasses wouldve been handy. Finding the site in the dark was tricky, especially since the new reception isnt finished yet, but were sure thatll improve soon. The surrounding area and lighting could be better, as the site was quite dark at times and we lost power once when the lights dimmed. The hot tub was absolutely fantastic! Wed definitely come back, just hope they sort out the check-in and lighting issues."
