Very peaceful. Lots of space for dogs made them feel at home to. The lodge was lovely and spacious the fire in the living room made it all more than cosy in evenings. The only downside no biggy but the sofa bed if using as a bed isn't very comfy at all. The owners left lots of stuff ie puzzles, books,games to use which was very nice. The kitchen is very well equipped. The bed room upstairs is very big and spacious. In the gardens the hot tub was a lovely extra but when in cold weather it is very expensive to run, we felt that they fire side of it needed a good cleaning out as couldn't always get it to fire up properly as sticky black stuff kept coming down but that is a quick fix. There is lots of walks for the dogs ect around they property. The owners are very nice and helpful to. I would highly recommend staying here. Thanks for a lovely week

However I would like to say itâs a tale of two halves and maybe you can learn from us. But again I say we really enjoyed our stay and hereâs why. The lodge is located a little over 3 miles outside Boston, Lincolnshire. Set back from the road and surrounded by farmland and woods near the lodge, which you can explore. The lodge is on the owners land but set away so you still have some privacy. The lodge itself has the sitting room, dining area and kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor. Off the kitchen a stair case takes you to the double bedroom on the first floor. Out of a set of patio doors there is an enclosed garden which includes a raised decked area with a âwood firedâ, hot tub (which we didnât use) and furniture, which would be lovely in the warmer times of year. There is plenty of room for parking but it is easier to drive in than to drive out, only because you have to do a two point turn to face the correct way. This is an observation not a reason not to go. The front room has a sofa bed to sit on, is an unusual design but was comfortable enough as a sofa. The bed pulls out but we did not use it. A coffee table, book case with some books and TV stand with âfreeviewâ, TV completes the furniture. The wood-burner is something to behold and some wood was next to the burner. The flooring is tiled and extends throughout the ground floor. The kitchen is modern and attractive to look at. The centre piece is a large multi-stove oven. A basic microwave oven and fridge for equipment. It is basically equipped but as the lodge is typically for two people this is may be understandable. I do feel that previous people may have had accidents and the odd bits have been broken and not replaced. On the odd occasion we had to be a bit creative when cooking as we do. The kitchen does not have a washing machine or freezer but it was not advertised with them. We missed this in the description, presuming that modern kitchens would have this but it was our mistake and not the owners. We were advised that because a lot of the stays are a week or less there is no reason to install them. The owner did offer help if we had anything that we needed in a freezer, which was nice. The bathroom has a shower over a bath, a large sink with a decent illuminated mirror and of course the lavatory. It may be of some help to note there are no taps to run a bath, per sa, just a shower. The dining area has a nice dining room table to seat six people, place mats are available etc. But not enough wine glasses for six, during our stay. As I say the lodge is for two typically, so enough for those who stay. On the landing having gone up stairs is a heated clothes airer do dry hand washed stuff, I guess. The bedroom has a double bed and a set of draws. I guess that because of the shape room not much else would fit. The room is set in the roof space and has sloping walls. It is still a large space and only the very tall, like myself, may have to bend a little. The garden is enclosed by an attractive fence and has a mixture of stone and for the most grass. There is a raised decked area where the hot-tub is located. The hot tub is fire fed and the logs are provided for you to buy. The logs are £15 a sack, kindling is £6 sack and fire lighters are £2 (price correct Dec 24). Whilst the listing does offer a starter pack for the wood-burner in the front room I was unsure where that might be. We wouldnât use it though for personal reasons, looks nice though. The lodge is, as we say, enjoyable and I expect during the warmer times of the year really special. But with a little love and consideration could be a real gem to come back to time and time again. We spent time doing a few things to improve the odd thing but we shouldnât have to do it. If we were to ask for anything, we would ask for a pint of milk on arrival so we could have a cup of tea before our shopping arrived. When did that stop being a thing?

The wood burner was wonderful in the recent cold weather. With the underfloor heating we were very snug. Unfortunately the upstairs bedroom was very cold so we slept downstairs on the sofa bed which was very comfortable. The kitchen is great to cook in, I would suggest a few more items like cooking utensils (large spoon, fish slice) but otherwise super. Rob, is just at the end of the phone and extremely helpful. One personal point from me is a mirror in the upstairs bedroom would be great for drying hair etc. This is a great self catering place to stay, it is fully self catering which for seasoned self caterers I had taken tea towels, dish cloths, cleaning spray etc so no issues for us. Would definitely recommend Woodland Lodge for a relaxing get away from it all break.
