Snaptrip says
Dorado Lodge is highly praised for its comfortable accommodation, beautiful surroundings, and excellent facilities, including a well-maintained hot tub. Guests enjoyed the tranquil setting, the lodge's cleanliness, and the thoughtful touches that made their stays memorable. The fishing opportunities and proximity to local attractions added to the positive experience, although some minor maintenance issues were noted.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently mentioned the lodge's cleanliness, with specific compliments on how well-maintained the property is, indicating that the cleaners take pride in their work. One isolated comment about a leaking sink suggests a minor issue, but overall, the cleanliness is of a high standard.
The lodge's location is frequently described as tranquil and peaceful, with beautiful surroundings and a lake that offers fishing right at the doorstep. It is also mentioned as a good base to explore the area, though one guest noted difficulty in locating the lodge upon arrival.
Comfort is a strong point for Dorado Lodge, with numerous guests highlighting the super comfortable beds and the spacious, well-equipped lodge. There is a mention of a mattress needing attention, but this seems to be an exception rather than the rule.
The facilities, including the hot tub, fishing opportunities, and well-stocked kitchen, are generally praised. However, some guests noted the absence of a dining table, lack of locks on bathroom doors, and a few maintenance issues, which slightly lowers the score.
While many reviews express gratitude for the lodge's amenities and the helpfulness of staff, there are no specific mentions of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness based on the provision of gifts, and the score is set to null.

The lodge is perfect - clean, spacious and bright, with great views. It's well equipped, and with really thoughtful touches, such as bath robes in the rooms. The hot tub is a brilliant addition. The location is lovely: a few miles from Lincoln, and very close to a nature reserve with nice walks and cafes. Highly recommended!

The lodge was very big and spacious. It is a strange set up that would not suit everyone. Upstairs is a large double bedroom but open plan no walls to separate it off from the kitchen / lounge down stairs. The other double bedroom is also very big but for some reason has full glass doors into it from the hallway. This seems a very odd set up and could easily be changed to suit everyone booking the lodge. The other odd set up was no dinning table? You have a massive kitchen and large breakfast bar with some stools but no table? If like us you like to sit around a table not in a line eating. With those couple of odd issues aside the lodge was great and I would book again. The location was fine and only 10 mins drive to Lincoln. The local nature reserve was great to walk around and have a coffee.

The Lodge is so comfortable and beautifully designed. The hot tub was used by all of us daily and beautifully maintained by Justin. The outlook is gorgeous and the boys loved the fishing. We had a very relaxing week and will certainly come back.
