The Purple Piranha

This exceptional wooden lodge for six guests has superb lake views. A lovely choice for friends, couples or family getaways, it gives everyone space to unwind, cook together and make the most of the peaceful waterside setting.

When you are ready to head out, Lincoln is only 8 miles away, with its impressive cathedral, castle, and the rare Magna Carta, plus Steep Hill – a cobbled street lined with independent shops, tea rooms, and places to sit down. Event days are easy too, with Lincolnshire Showground 10 miles away and Newark Showground 9 miles away.

Discover the historic gem of Belvoir Castle (25 miles) and tour its grand interiors, or venture to Rand Farm Park (17 miles) to spend time with the goats and Highland Cows. And when you’re ready to relax, grab your drinks and sink into your bubbling hot tub with your favourite people in tow.

Drive up to this gorgeous lakeside property, and the first thing that catches your eye is the impressive glass frontage with views across the water. Traditional lodge-style wood cladding invites you inside to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which boasts a stylish, luxe design.

To the left, a sleek kitchen has everything you could need for a comfortable self-catering stay, including an air fryer, two wine fridges and even a coffee machine for that morning caffeine. The breakfast bar has six comfy seats, so dining is a breeze.

Transfer to the lounge space when you’re done eating to gather round the large Smart TV that takes centre stage within a feature faux-brick unit. Three sumptuous sofas sit side by side, so everyone can spread out as they like.

When it’s time to freshen up the clothes, there is a large utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer. Two super-king-size bedrooms sit on the ground floor too, with sophisticated designs and storage for your clothes.
