Spacious enough for families & friends, cosy enough for couples - the lodge has accomodated every combination from solo travellers to familes of 5 plus a baby. With the option of 2 double bedrooms, and with 2 bathrooms, there's no need for compromise. Even the 5th bed is a full size single - it has the best views of all!

You get a nice welcome pack too, which includes some Lincolnshire produce, and of course treats for the dogs!
Enjoy a wonderful welcome pack; and relax as we also provide the basics.
South facing views
The lounge area has breathtaking views over the lake. Slide back the huge picture window door and step into the south facing outside space, which offers the most beautiful start to your day as you watch the sun rise. With a 3 seater and a 2 seater sofa to share with your dogs, and a couple of handy bean bags for your feet, you can kick back and relax whether you are watching the lake or something on the smart TV with free Netflix. Settle on the sofas with everything that you need for a relaxing break - we have even installed air conditioning, which is a very welcome addition as the lodge gets sunshine all day long! These lodges are designed for all year round living, so provide a home from home experience.
Get a good night's sleep
Bedroom 1: King width with ensuite. Quality bedding & a comfy mattress!
Walk in wardrobe and a bath in the ensuite!
The Retreat sleeps up to six: 4 in two bedrooms, with an additional guest using a sofa bed in the lounge, plus one cot. We get regular feedback about the beds, and the main bedroom with king width is lovely. It has an ensuite, with a bath - what a treat! The second bedroom can be a king or a twin, so overall the lodge is super versatile and suited to couples - especially since there is a second bathroom with walk in shower.
A travel cot is available by request, along with a high chair.
The twin room can also be set up as a large double
Extensive Outside Space
Private Hot Tub by the Water
As well as an enclosed grassed garden, there is a dedicated enclosed and private lower patio with a large water's edge luxury hot tub, picnic table with sun shade and easy chairs. It's a lovely little private spot, and with no light pollution, why not enjoy the stars?
Maintained professionally between guests to meet HSG282 guidelines, you can be sure of a clean and safe experience.
I've invested in solar panels to cover part of the cost to run the hot tub, and the water gets recycled onto the garden.
If you don't fancy the tub, let me know before booking as I can then reduce the cost of your stay.
The Perfect Garden for Sniffs & Zoomies
What about the dogs? They will absolutely love it! Enclosed garden to 5ft with picket fence and screens, there will be no escapees. We are multi dog friendly - we even had 8 teeny chihauhas, and 8 was the number that checked out at the end of the stay! Arable land, so no frustration for those that like to chase. Your dogs are allowed wherever they would be allowed at home. But not in the lake - don't worry, as there are plenty of gates to control movement.
The garden is accessed down a few steps from the door to the lodge - handy for early morning 'toilet duties'!
Screened 5ft wooden fence perimeter makes the garden private
I have 4 dogs. One is reactive to traffic, one to other dogs, one to both! I know how tricky it can be to find somewhere that will limit the opportunities for dogs to react. The single lane track is not busy with traffic, and whilst there will be passers by with dogs, your car/s and a 5ft screened fence will reduce the likelihood. Besides, if your dogs are anything like mine, they will be sat enjoying the view over the lake with you!
The lodge has a double gate system at the front, plus an additional fence to restrict movement along the decking as you please. The perimeter is fence and screen. There is a lower fence in the hot tub area, I can provide additional fencing here by request.
Tallington Lakes is very friendly - many people here have dogs and we are all aware that they have their quirks.
If your dog is a non stop barker, or would be desperate to get in the lake, I woud advise that it probably isn't suitable.
The Decking
The Retreat has a 40 ft wraparound verandah and spacious decking. The large decking has been designed as an extension to the lodge and this ‘outdoor room’ provides the perfect place to sit and watch life on the water. A canopy can be pulled across during the summer months to provide some pleasant shade, and at night solar lights create a warm ambiance. With huge glass panels for uninterrupted lake views, the scene is set for a tranquil and relaxing stay.
Whatever the time of year, the lake is stunning - can you see yourself sitting here with a glass of something?
Kayak, SUP, Fish
The Jetty
The jetty is perfect for fishing, launching of craft, toe dipping and simply relaxing with nature.
Fancy a spot of fishing? The lake has all manner of coarse fish: carp, roach, perch, tench...as a 50 year old quarry that's hardly been fished, there are some old and big fellas out there for you! Very few people fish here, so most have never been caught.
You can get really close to the water- why not hire paddle boards or kayaks and visit the jetty from the sailing centre? If you are wanting to launch any craft from the jetty, please contact the Tallington Lakes site on the following phone number for more details: 01778 347000
Please note that Tallington Lakes is not a holiday park like Tattershall.
