"We had a fabulous stay at Lillie’s Hut within Shepherds’s Lodge."
Our hosts were fantastic with any questions we had. The hut is extremely comfortable, and clean. All amenities were there should you wish to cook a breakfast, lunch or dinner. But if you prefer, pubs are close by although the use of a car would be preferable due to the lack of lighting on country lanes at night. Ideal pubs for drinks and dinners are The Chequers Inn, The Windmill and The Duck at Woolsthorpe. The bed is comfortable, and the toilet and shower up in the hotel standards. There is no Wi-Fi, but you don’t need it and there is a lack of reception on your network if you’re on Three. We struggled with this when we wanted to order more firewood, so we gave our hosts cash. The hot tub was presented to us clean, and the host will help to bring it to temperature if required. Outdoors lighting is perfect for when you are in it and you have drinks holders on the outside of it. Will will visit again soon! Ideal getaway if you’re looking for a few days of R&R. 10 out of 10.
