Butterfly Lodge is highly praised for its comfort, well-equipped nature, and thoughtful touches, including welcome gifts. The location offers easy access to local attractions and the property is dog-friendly, enhancing its appeal. Some minor maintenance issues and privacy concerns are noted, but overall guests are delighted and eager to return.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the lodge to be very clean, with only a few mentioning issues such as a dirty rug or unemptied vacuum cleaners. The positive remarks far outweigh the negatives, indicating high standards of cleanliness overall.
The location is frequently commended for its proximity to Lincoln, local shops, and attractions. The surrounding area is appreciated for its beauty and seclusion, although one review mentioned difficulty accessing a nearby pub on foot.
Guests consistently mention the lodge's comfort, with compliments on the comfy sofa, beds, and the overall homey feel. The presence of a hot tub adds to the comfort factor, making it a relaxing experience for many.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the lodge being well-equipped and the hot tub being a highlight. However, some reviews point out maintenance issues such as slippery decking, a broken shower thermostat, and a need for better fishing tackle storage, which slightly lowers the score.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating welcome gifts such as Prosecco, biscuits, and dog treats. While these gifts are warmly received, it's important to note that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every 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.

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
