Is there a better way to start your day?
South facing views
Head through to lounge area , which 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 relaxing start to your day as you watch the sun rise. The Retreat has complimentary Wi-Fi so you have internet. There is a smart TV with free Netflix, so when you settle on the sofa you have everything that you need. 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; Bedroom 2: King or Twin
The Retreat sleeps up to six: 4 in two bedrooms, with additional guests using a sofa bed in the lounge. 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.
There's no drawing of the 'short straw' here: you'll be fighting over who gets to sleep with the stars and wake with the sun in this full sized single!
Plenty of gates control the movements of you dogs and little ones.
Extensive Outside Space
As well as an enclosed grassed garden, The Retreat boasts a dedicated enclosed and private space with water's edge luxury hot tub, picnic bench and sun loungers. It's a lovely little private spot, and with no light pollution, why not enjoy the stars?
If you don't fancy the tub, let me know before booking as I can then reduce your stay by £10 per full day.
Private hot tub right by the water
Relax under the canopy
Whatever the time of year, the lake is stunning - can you see yourself sitting here with a glass of something?
The jetty is perfect for fishing, launching of craft, toe dipping and simply relaxing with nature.
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.
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.
Multi Dog Friendly
What about the dogs? They will absolutely love it! Enclosed garden to 5ft with picket fence and screens, there will be no escapees. In fact 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! Dont worry, as there are plenty of gates to control movement.
Kayak, SUP, Fish
There are also steps down to our own private jetty, where 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.
