Noahs Retreat

Could’ve been better, honestly quite disappointing.

Great spot, perfect for unwinding after work.

Honestly, this lodge blew us away. Everything we needed was there, from the comfy beds to the well-stocked kitchen. We had a fantastic stay and even managed some baking with all the cookware available. Absolutely loved it!

Comfortable and spacious, but could use some tweaks.

Really enjoyed our stay, the views are absolutely stunning!

Great little lodge, feels cosy and has all you need with lovely views. Would recommend!

We had a really relaxing week here, just what we needed. The surroundings are lovely and peaceful, perfect for unwinding. Our daughter’s 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 wasn’t often. We brought a mobile hoist to help with her needs, though it would’ve 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 aren’t too far away and it was nice to see Christmas decorations everywhere around the grounds. John was really helpful too!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The lodge was spotless and had everything we needed. The lakeside view was stunning and the location was perfect. Bedrooms were cosy and there was plenty of storage. Parking and access were also top-notch. Would definitely return!

We absolutely loved our stay! The lodge was stunning and had everything we could need - dishwasher, full oven, large fridge freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, you name it. It really felt luxurious. The peaceful site was perfect and the hot tub was great fun for four of us. The complimentary fizz and chocolates were such a lovely touch. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed our stay, the beds were super comfy!

We had a fantastic time! The place was peaceful and perfect for relaxing. Waking up to the sunshine and ducks on the lake was just lovely. We’ll definitely be coming back soon!

The lodge and site are spotlessly clean and the peaceful vibe really helps you unwind. Lovely stay!

The lodge was really lovely and well furnished. The bed was a bit low for us, but still comfy. We’d have loved a couple of cushions on the sofas and a lamp in the living room to make it perfect. Overall, we enjoyed it though!

Loved it! Will be back soon!

When we first arrived at Bullfinch Lodge, we thought it looked promising - a good-sized place with a lovely view over the lake and a secure patio for the dogs, which was great. The hot tub was a nice touch too! The bedrooms and main living area were decent enough, enough space for us to relax. However, things started to go downhill pretty quickly. The toilet had been leaking for months and it still left a musky smell every time we flushed, which was pretty off-putting. The carpets and rugs are heavily stained and really need replacing and the lino flooring was filthy - covered in shoe prints. We even had to buy wipes just to clean the remotes! The decking was covered in green moss and branches and the hot tub, which initially looked clean, revealed dirty water once the jets were turned on. Honestly, it feels like these issues will only get worse since the lodge is up for sale, so I doubt they’ll bother fixing anything soon. Overall, it was a change of scenery, but the poor cleanliness means we won’t be returning anytime soon.

Great service, would recommend

Overall, we had a lovely time, though it’s really peaceful here, which is great for relaxing. Just a heads-up, you’ll need a car since shops are a bit of a drive away. Perfect if you’re after quiet!

Really enjoyed our stay, super relaxing and well comfy!

We really loved this place, but the beds are a bit of a pain if you need a hoist. They look lovely, but they’re 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 they’re still developing it since only five lodges are finished. A few bits like cutlery and dishes weren’t quite clean and an airer would’ve been handy since there’s nowhere to hang towels. WiFi was a nightmare-kept saying wrong password, even after moving the router. Still, we really enjoyed the quiet vibe!

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.

The lodge was absolutely lovely, set in such a peaceful spot!

We’d 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 I’m sure they’ll 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. There’s 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.

Really loved the place

We had such a lovely week at your gorgeous lodge, staying in the Robin cabin. It really felt like a home away from home and honestly, we didn’t want to leave! The place is so thoughtfully equipped - you’ve thought of everything. The view over the lake is absolutely stunning; we spent ages just sitting there soaking it all in. The peacefulness of the countryside was exactly what we needed to escape the hustle and bustle. My partner was especially chuffed with the fishing spot and the outdoor area with the hot tub, settee and table was just perfect for relaxing. Would definitely recommend it!

We recently spent Christmas at this lodge (23rd-27th) and honestly, we weren’t sure what to expect after reading some of the reviews. At first, we were thinking of looking somewhere else, especially given the time of year, but we’re really glad we stayed here. The welcome pack with a bottle of prosecco and chocolates was a lovely touch and made us feel quite cosy right from the start. Inside, the place was spotless, spacious and beautifully decorated for Christmas - a real festive vibe with a tree and ornaments that made it feel special. The facilities were great - every room had a TV with Netflix, Disney+and Amazon, which was perfect for relaxing evenings. The WiFi was a bit slow, but since we had 5G on our ID mobile/Three, we just used our own hotspot without any issues. Plenty of parking space was available and there’s even a 3-pin plug by the carpark if you need to charge an EV - though we didn’t need to use it. The hot tub was a real highlight; kept at 40°C and always ready when we wanted a soak. It was clean, checked daily by the owner and didn’t turn itself off like one of the reviews suggested - we used it every day with no problems. Feeding the ducks on the lake was such a simple pleasure and we enjoyed watching the people fishing from the opposite lodge. The decking was secure enough to keep our dog safe, which was important for us. The lighting inside was fine - yes, the lamps didn’t dim when using the kettle, but honestly, it didn’t bother us at all. The lodge didn’t have that pet smell some reviews mentioned and the showers were great - no leaks or issues, unlike what others had experienced. We couldn’t hear any noise from neighbouring lodges or the surrounding area, so it was really peaceful. The outdoor lights do turn on automatically at night, which was a bit bright at times, but it’s a minor quibble. Overall, we’d definitely recommend this place - don’t let the previous reviews put you off. We’re already planning to come back!

We had such a lovely time staying here, we’re already planning to come back! Finding somewhere that suits my husb and's needs as a T4 paraplegic and wheelchair user isn’t always easy, especially with his love for fishing and having a dog. Luckily, this place ticked all the boxes - super homely and peaceful. The lodge was spotless when we arrived and had a cosy warmth that made us feel right at home. The little touches like chocolates and Prosecco were a nice surprise, though they didn’t last long! Despite recent storms, the fishing setup was still perfect since it’s all boarded, so he didn’t have to worry about rolling mud in through the wheelchair. The WiFi was reliable enough to stream TV and do Zoom calls without any hassle. The main lights flickered a bit, but honestly, it wasn’t a big deal. The staff were fantastic - they checked the hot tub daily and were always happy to help. The local shop in Laceby is only five minutes away, with everything you’d need. Even our dog looked a bit sad to leave, so thanks for a brilliant New Year’s break!!

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. It’s well equipped, but a couple of pint glasses would’ve been handy. Finding the site in the dark was tricky, especially since the new reception isn’t finished yet, but we’re sure that’ll 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! We’d definitely come back, just hope they sort out the check-in and lighting issues.
