This is our 3rd time at Thorpe park and 2nd time at Butterfly cottage. Its the best lodge we have ever stayed in which is why we came back.Beautiful lodge set in beautiful surroundings.Large,modern and very warm.We will definitely be back again

This was our 4th visit to Butterfly Lodge, so we do love the property and its location, but we do feel some improvements could be made in some areas now. For instance the leather reclining chair and sofa. The chair has not reclined for our last two visits and the seating in the sofa is really sagging now, especially the seat on the left hand side. The tv in the twin bedroom was not working and did not appear to be a problem with the batteries in the remote. We did report this to Sykes but they said we'd need to leave the key in the key press and we weren't happy doing this not knowing how many had access to the code and with all our belongings being there. Also both showers lacked power, which was different from previous stays. The quilt on the double bed could really benefit from being exchanged for a King Size as there isnt enough overhang on either side. Apart from these things, we enjoyed our stay again and would probably return.

This was our first visit to Butterfly Lodge and we were pleasantly surprised at the accommodation. The view over the lake was relaxing and peaceful. The wildlife we saw from Ducks, Moor hens, Coots and surprise visits from a Grey Heron and Kingfisher. We travelled into Lincoln and used the park and ride visiting the Cathedral. The Hot tub was an extra bonus. Over all a very good stay.

This was our third time at Butterfly Lodge. Enjoyed every moment of the week we stayed. The weather was beautiful and fishing very good again. The only minus again was the glass table outside was dirty, not as bad as back in May.

Our 2nd visit to lodge, it is very comfortable but the housekeeping is a little shy of perfect cobwebs overlooked and the decking really needs a good sweep over, the table outside was really dirty . The fridge and especially the freezer was dirty both visits .Freezer was difficult to open drawers as it needed defrosting .There are utensils in a drawer but they need updating and a few throwing away ! Mainly the blue ones .. The recliner chair still has no cable to plug in . Also the hot tub was exactly the same as last visit . Jets not working correctly. We did enjoy our stay and would return ,its very relaxing and the fishing is absolutely fine especially if you've got kids who would love a go .

Cracking lodge. This was our second time at Butterfly. Can't fault a thing except the outside table, thick of dust. Other than that, brilliant. And that goes for the fishing as well.

Melanie

Butterfly Lodge is an absolute GEM, as soon as we walked in we got the WOW factor. Everything you could ever wish for in a holiday lodge.

This is our second visit to Butterfly Lodge and we really love it. The setting by the side of the lake is beautiful and so is the lodge itself. The beds and chairs are really comfortable which is a big consideration for us. We especially like the electric reclining sofa and chair, although the chair wasn't working this visit which was a shame. The groundsmen are good and look after the area really well, including refilling the bird feeders outside which were visited by many birds...plus a cheeky squirrel who actually lifted the lid of and feeder to help himself to food!. The welcome gifts were a lovely touch, which included Prosecco and cookies although our cats weren't too impressed with the dog treats

Sharon

Loved the stay, fabulous location no issues whilst there Would be handy to have some sort of contact for the owner but not essential. I have been in contact with Sykes as I have left an item of clothing in a wardrobe but still awaiting a reply 5 days later.

Michelle

This was our second visit to Butterfly Lodge and the only downside was the weather! It's the perfect place to relax and unwind.

This was our 2nd visit to Butterfly Lodge. We had a lovely stay, still a nice view overlooking the small lake from the enclosed decking . Loved the welcome pack left for us and our 2 dogs. Thank you. We were little bit disappointed with the following few issues we found , 1the drip tray and the oven door was full of grease. 2 the bottom of the recycling bins we dirty, one bin even had a pair of slippers left in the bottom.3 The little bin outside the front door hasn't been emptied. 4The hot tub didn't seem to be working properly. Even though we could still used it. 5We thought that some of leaflets information were a bit out of date These issues don't ruin our stay. We found the 2 maintenance guys on site were very helpful, freindy, approachable and very polite. We would book again.

Mandy Rees

Lovely relaxing week spent at Butterfly Lodge, fishing excellent, good base for ... Lovely relaxing week spent at Butterfly Lodge, fishing excellent, good base for touring the area, plenty to see and do, even accommodating our furbaby

Tracey

We have just spent our 2nd holiday with you at your beautiful Lodge. The welcome gifts were much appreciated. It has everything you need. It is a home from home. We are back again in November and July 2025. Our dogs really enjoyed it and the guts loved the fishing. Perfect location close to shops and great walks.

We chose this lodge because of the reclining armchair. My wife has health and mobility issues and needs to keep her legs elevated. Unfortunately it wasn't working due to the mains adapter not being present in the lodge. Also one of the frying pans needs replacing as the handle is loose. Other than that the lodge is perfect and ticks every box for us and we will return.

Had a brilliant week at Butterfly Lodge. Nice and cumfy and everything you could possible need for your stay. Also the fishing is first class.

Really lovely stay. Such a lovely lodge and site. Will come back again and again.

Loved the lodge and the site. Liked the kitchen, but wasn't tall enough to reach the cooker hood. Think a new toaster would be a good idea as only one side lifts up. Minor points, but would certainly book again.

Had a lovely stay. Property was lovely and homely. Husband enjoyed the fishing and the ground keeper, Paul, was friendly and helpful. Very peaceful and relaxing. Only a suggestion but not a real issue was the oven was requesting a cleaning cycle and some sharp knives would be helpful. But it didn't affect our stay and we will definitely go back. Would definitely recommend.

Tracey

Had a fabulous long weekend everything was perfect, lovely welcome pack thank you. We will definitely be back.

Sandra

This lodge is fantastic and very comfortable. Like a home from home.

Absolutely stunning lodge even better then we expected, very clean, comfortable, gorgeous surrounding. Had absolutely everything you needed. I would 100 return. What would of been useful was some little pots of shampoo and conditioner as we did forget those so maybe something on the wall in the showers would be helpful. Could not find the wifi password so signal was a pain sometimes but again it would not stop be coming back The photos of this property do not do it justice i would definitely put better photos online to draw people in

Michelle

The lodge was lovely, and we had everything we needed for a stress free break. The welcome pack was very much appreciated and enjoyed by us and our dogs. The hot tub was great but didn't quite feel private enough as the lodges are very close to each other, apart from that, it was perfect.

Pamela

Loved it so much ,. . had brought bbq food to cook & wasnt one ,.. but we had a lovely week here & cant wait to return,..loved the hot tub & the owners seemed to have thought of everything ,.. amazing place & loved the wildlife

Lovely stay, thoroughly enjoyed it. Great for our small dog with the enclosed area. Very clean and we were welcomed with a bottle of Prosecco and some other bits and bobs. Would definitely come back, some lovely views. Kids loved the Wii console

The property was perfect and amazing in every way. The owners have thought of everything. Thank you for the beautiful welcome gift for us and the dogs. Maintenance staff were friendly and professional. Aleady booked for next year

Lovely place had everything we needed and would visit again. Thankyou

Absolutely wonderful property and site. Loved every minute of our stay. Just a couple of minor niggles. Electric chair doesnt work, walk in shower control very unreliable either cold or scorching hot. Smart TV performance very patchy.

What a beautiful cottage with high quality appliances and everywhere was clean with a new fitted kitchen. My daughter especially liked the new sofas with the extending foot rests. The hot tub was excellent and the dog enjoyed the free run of the place, due the enclosed front porch. The maintenance staff were extremely approachable and friendly and we will definitely be booking again for next year.

This property is amazing! They owners have thought of everything. We had a great holiday and will be back!

Gillian

Butterfly Lodge is absolutely lovely. Very comfortable, has everything you need for your stay, although could have done with some nice plastic wine glasses for the hot tub. Didn't give full marks for cleanliness as there was a dirty glass left down the side of the settee. No other issues though. Plenty of pubs close by to eat out. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the fishing, was in double figures every day. Biggest carp caught was 10lb 9oz.

Anthony

Tracey

I can highly recommend this beautiful lodge. It is well equipped and spacious. The fishing was most enjoyable. Great dog walking at Wisby nature reserve. Shops, pubs and everything you need is near by. There are a few things which need attention. The double bed leg supports need repairing, the extraction fan in the twin ensuite doesn't work. We had issues with the shower thermostat but I know this is being sorted out. Due to the above I had to give 4 stars but once these are done it would definitely be 5 stars. Overall a wonderful lodge, home from home. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have already booked for 2024.

Philip

The lodge is overpriced, wasnt clean, broken utensils, dirty hoovers, unuseable barbecue and unsleepable bed. Very dissapoonted.

Stephen

The lodge was very comfortable, but we downgraded to 4 stars due to a collection of small issues. For instance the cutlery wasn't very clean on arrival. The crockery has a number of chips in plates and rims of beakers. The hot tub is showing its age and the jets either wouldn't work or would start and then couldn't be switched off, despite attention from the onsite chap. The vacuum cleaners hadn't been emptied in ages and are totally clogged. The lounge rug was very dirty and a mass of white dog hairs, so we didn't feel that the lodge had been well prepared.

We enjoyed our stay very much, was a beautiful lodge and lovely surroundings. The only thing we would like to suggest is the nearest pub which was 0.4 miles away as advertised was not really accessible across the carriageway for walking. We did find the local pub in the village The Railway Inn 25 mins walk and was very accommodating. Also just a tiny, tiny thing both our toilets were not really working that well, the buttons seem to have disconnected slightly but overall we loved it and so did our dogs the lodge was very well equipped for dogs and families including all accessories would recommend highly A

Butterfly lodge is just super, everything you could ever need and more, there really needs some maintenance on the lake but I must say its very pretty and caught loads of fish big and small, the reeds need cutting down near the swims. There is lots of walks in near by Wispy Park and my dog enjoyed swimming in the lake, also loads of places to visit with Lincoln on your doorstep.

We enjoyed our stay at butterfly Lodge. Everything we needed was their a real home from home. Lovely comfy sofa and soft furnishings with an added hot tub. we would recommend a further willow fence for privacy when using it as next door if using thier decking makes it not private for either loges but we did not have this issue while we stayed. Great place to visit lincoln from and we recommend the castle , cathedral and the cities independent shops. Doddington Hall and farm shop also great place and is 5 minutes away, local produce is top notch. We loved the location and the lodge and would certainly recommend it and return again. Thank you to the owners for sharing their place and allowing dogs into the home which is always a big plus for us.

Great layout and spacious rooms made for a comfortable stay. The lodge had everything we needed and more. We made good use of the Jacuzzi despite the time of year. We especially enjoyed the bird feeders and the feeling of seclusion despite being within arms reach of numerous places to see and eat.
