"Very comfortable bed and sofas"
"Spent a lovely week here. Enjoyed having the bbq to cook on and the hot tub to relax in. Lodge very well appointed, air conditioning in the bedroom is a great touch as we were very lucky with the weather. Towel change mid week was a bonus. Only small niggle was the robes were a bit old and threadbare. Would definitely recommend though and look forward to returning."

"Stunning setting. Beautifully quiet other than the animals so it was perfect. Excellent facilities. Loved that no cars were near the lodges and how peaceful no calming it was. The perfect spot to relax."
"Beautiful setting, luxurious lodge with all the facilities. The book in the lodge made us well informed. Very welcoming with a welcome pack for us and one for the dog. The bed was very comfortable and an air conditioned room. The hot tub was already set at the perfect temperature. Very clean. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would go again."
"A great holiday and plenty of relaxation time"

"Fantastic place for a weekend getaway"
"The lodge was perfectly located, offering peace and quiet for a proper relaxing weekend. We really enjoyed unwinding in such a beautiful spot. Lovely stay!"
"Great lodge situated on an amazing spot, we had an amazing weekend, lovely and quiet and we were able to relax and unwind completely ."
"Weve finally found a lovely spot to take the dogs and its become our new favourite lodge. The location is absolutely stunning and the place is kept beautifully. Theyve thought of little touches that really make a difference, which we appreciated. The only tiny downside was no scissors in the cabin, but thats probably just an oversight. Were already planning our next visit - honestly, we didnt want to leave! Cant recommend it enough, its just perfect for us!"
"We loved the cosy lodge right by the lake, perfect for relaxing with the dogs. Quiet, private and the hot tub under the stars was simply amazing! Definitely recommend."
"We had a fantastic stay at Woad Mill! The lodge was spotless and well equipped, making us feel right at home. The complimentary box on arrival was a lovely touch. Definitely planning to come back for another relaxing getaway soon!"
"We stayed at this place and really loved how spotless everything was - it was nearly perfect! The only real issue was the dog proofing on the terrace. Weve got a Chihuahua and a French Bulldog and while the proofing was okay for the Frenchie, it didnt quite cut it for the Chihuahua. Luckily, we caught him quickly, but it did make us realise that many small dogs might actually escape. So, to let him out, we had to leash him up, which wasnt ideal. Also, the lodge shaded over quicker than others, so sunbathing time was limited. Despite these little hiccups, wed still recommend it. Just something to keep in mind if youve got energetic little pups like ours!"
"Great lodges, really well equipped and in a lovely spot! Definitely recommend."
"Honestly, this place really does outshine all the other lodges we've stayed in. The setting is stunning, with swans gliding by and a lovely field perfect for dog walks. Theyve cleverly designed paths lined with trees that make it feel more like a park than just a field. The lodge itself is gorgeous-stylish but super cosy, with comfy furniture that we felt right at home in. The kitchen was surprisingly well-equipped, from a ninja air fryer to a nutribullet, which was handy. Everything was spotless too and we saw the hot tub cleaner hoovering it out when we left, which was reassuring. The decking was a real highlight-we spent loads of time relaxing out there. The welcome packs for us and the dog were a nice touch and getting food delivered was a breeze. Plus, the staff are absolutely lovely; they went above and beyond when we had a family emergency. Were already planning to come back next year!"
"We loved Water Lily Lodges peaceful spot and privacy. Watching the birds on the lake from the sun deck was surprisingly entertaining! Great stay."
"We had a lovely stay! The inside of the place was really lovely and every window offered breathtaking views. It felt just like a cosy home away from home and we loved that it was dog friendly - our pup had a great time. It was the perfect spot to unwind and explore, especially with a day trip to Lincoln. Definitely will return!"

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.
