After an easy but interesting drive down to Lincoln from Leeds and down a very long quirky road we arrived at the white horse inn and our lodge for the next 3 days. It was a bit confusing at first as to where and how we check in but after greeting a very friendly gentleman he pointed us in the director of another really friendly lady who showed us down to our lodge. The lodge was beautifully presented with enough car parking space for 2 cars and a hot tub situation just in front on some grass. Our first impressions were good. However we did have a few problems on our stay, we were not informed that it was completely self catering and so we didn’t buy the essentials such as washing up liquid or toilet paper and only 1 was supplied but with a lodge full of 6 people and 3 of those being children you soon run out. The other issue we had was we didn’t have a microwave it was in the oven but we’re not provided with any instructions on how to use the oven/microwave and we’re not informed of anything that was near by I.e shops and with very poor connection and no WiFi this became a bit of an issue as the nearest shop was 25 minutes away from the lodge. Another issue was that the lodge became full of flies at the night time and I mean full! There are only 2 bedrooms and 1 sofa bed but what I found was that the sofa bed didn’t not have a mattress on it rather just a sheet placed over it which proved for a very uncomfortable night sleep, although an upside was that we were provided with a fresh quilt and pillows! Not that this made the sleep any more comfortable so the second night I had to sleep in the sofa as a sofa not a bed! If your planning to eat out you will struggle as there is nowhere local to go. We were told that the pub would be open to serve drinks not food but when we went up we couldn’t find how to get in and couldn’t find any staff. The hot tub was great it was clean and ready when we arrived and staff were there to help on the first night, the only downside to our lodge was that to get to the hot tub you had to walk over the stones! So take slippers or shoes because you will hurt your feet! And maybe request some more toilet paper and instructions or you will struggle.Oh and the TVs have Netflix but it doesn’t work because you have no wifi and no phone signal to connect it. But other than that we had a great holiday and would look at booking again next year now knowing what we need to do next time.
