What our customers say about their holidays

  The Annexe itself was left clean for our arrival and the owner is quite approachable if you need to call him for anything.

  What we did not know was that within 50 yards of the bedroom window is a church tower clock that chimes loudly on the quarter hours with additional gongs on the hour all day and all night long, this could be disturbing for light sleepers as it was for me, little sleep for two weeks. The Annexe stands on a very busy main road, the living room window is right beside the road and the bedroom window is about 2 yards from it, so there’s constant noisy passing traffic all day, starting around 4.30 am and going on until well after midnight. The Annexe does not have a fenced off area should you be taking a dog with you. The Annexe is the only holiday let situated within a busy courtyard of six or seven other properties. Each property has its own parking space outside the front door as has The Annexe. Should you want to sit outside then you’d be sitting on this courtyard and really it’s more of a car park, what with residents coming and going, their visitors and the noisy main road within yards, we didn’t feel comfortable enough to sit out for the two weeks we were there and it was beautiful weather too. During our two weeks there one household was having what was described as “relationship difficulties” and given that their front door is only about 6 yards from the bedroom windows of The Annexe, their behaviours, language, noise level and intimidation towards us when we asked them to quieten down was not what we had paid the owner for ! This Sykes experience was by far the worst we have ever encountered and we left, after 2 weeks, feeling exhausted and very disappointed.

  Lovely property, great host and a lovely welcome.

  Kitchen had everything I needed to cook and clean up with fab views across the fen. Comfy sofas and cosy cottage vibes with lots of space for us 2. Good size fridge freezer and dish washer. Clear welcome information. The neighbours are close but very quiet. Very much appreciated the welcome pack (especially as I hadn't packed any tassimo pods). There were a couple of issues Ian flagged on arrival but they didn't cause us any problem and Ian was very efficient fixing what he could. If you are bothered by light when you sleep you might want to bring an eyemask or use one of the baby blackout blinds on the bedroom windows as the sun will shine in as Lincolnshire lives up to its reputation of big skies. Location wise it is on a main road but not a lot of road noise. Good size driveway. Not far from Louth which is good for shopping with excellent butchers, bakers and green grocers with local produce. It is not far to the sea. Sutton on Sea is lovely and we picked up every thing needed for a picnic at the near by Sandilands, with good access to the promenade and beach (recently come under national trust and had 2 hours free parking for all- members can get a ticket for free until March 2025 from the snack van- great toilets and accessible facilities if you have a blue badge. Lincoln is just under an hour across the Wolds. Hope to visit again when next in the area.

  We were concerned when we arrived at just how small the bungalow was, especially as we were staying for 4 weeks.

  We couldn't however have been more wrong. The bungalow was superbly equipped, even a pair of kitchen scales and an electric whisk! It was warm and cosy with a lovely comfy bed. The washing and drying facilities were no bother being located in a different building as so near by. Anthony was very pleasant and I'm sure if there had been any issues he would have been straight on them! It was lovely to find tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits supplied, and there were even 4 toilet rolls and toiletries as well as lots of extras in the kitchen which we just did not expect. The DVDs were a welcome bonus with the weather being so grotty, but when we did go out we found lots of lovely places to visit; the dog loved the beaches! We found people in the village very friendly, and enjoyed the hostelry in the White Hart, as well as enjoying a superb meal in the Windmill Restaurant. The only thing that wasn't supplied was any bakeware, so we just bought a little roasting tin in the pound shop and left it behind for the next occupant! There is really nothing negative to say at all and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. The only thing the bungalow would benefit from would be some draught excluder around the front door as it was a little draughty during the high winds, but that is in no way a complaint!

  Great little place which was very suitable as a base to tour the coast/countryside.

  Very well equipped and a nice little touch from the owners of fresh milk and chocolate bars. It appears from feedback that some past visitors have had issues with the church bells ringing/traffic and neighbours but to be honest I did not have any problems. yes, bit of traffic first thing in a morning and teatime but it really was not too bad, it was lovely to hear the church and be part of a village. At night I just put in some earplugs and I could'nt hear anything. The property itself could do with some TLC inside and out...shower is leaking (the flooring is lifting and I could see water coming up in area under the silver radiator) and chip bottom of sliding door which is just hanging on with part of the plastic strip)....also some blown plaster on back of toilet wall.....as you enter the Annexe there's gritty muddy debris which just could do with clearing up and the wooden bench either needs replacing or doing away with.

  This was our second visit to Thorpe Park Lodges, and yet again, it didn’t disappoint.

  We had the most delightful New Year getaway at Lodge 1. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at ease. The lodge itself is beautifully presented, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a relaxing break. The layout was perfect for our family of four, with two well-appointed bedrooms – one with a cosy double and en-suite and the other with two comfortable singles, both offering plenty of storage. The open-plan living area was a great space to relax, with the Smart TV providing plenty of entertainment. The kitchen had all the appliances we needed, and it was a joy to cook meals to enjoy at the dining table or out on the decking. Speaking of the decking, the hot tub was undoubtedly the highlight of our stay. There’s nothing quite like soaking in the warm bubbles under the crisp winter sky to truly unwind and celebrate the start of a new year.
