Magnificent Jewel
It was by luck that I found this property and can honestly say the photos dont do it justice. My Jaw dropped when I arrived. The location is easy to get to and the house and grounds are kept immaculate. The lake is just something else and boosts this wonderful property. Communication with Maggie was efficient and seamless. We were 3 generations stayimg here and had the privilege of creating some memories in a beautiful setting. Thank you Maggie and family for opening your home to us

Lovely Lakeside Location
The property is spacious and clearly a well loved family vacation home, which has been extended and up-dated but retains period features. There are two bedrooms upstairs with en-suite facilities and two ground floor bedrooms which share a bathroom and a separate lavatory with wash-hand basin etc. Lakeside Lodge is well equipped with all that guests could need and has a terrace with out-side dining seating with a charming view of the lake,

Perfection
I cannot praise Lake Lodge highly enough! The house is so comfortable, spacious but cosy, and very well-equipped. Maggie the host could not have been more helpful in providing everything we needed and sending us lots of useful information in advance. The boating, sports facilities and wildlife watching were perfect for our family group. We can’t wait to return!

Lovely family getaway set in beautiful grounds
We had a wonderful stay at Lake lodge with 3 generations of family members. There was so much to do. The house was very clean and had everything you needed. The tennis court was put to very good use and the lake and grounds were amazing to explore and reconnect with nature. Thank you Maggie and Dan for making is feel so welcome and for being great hosts. We could not have asked for anything more to make out family break special.

Wonderful!!!
We came as a family with grandchildren to stay in this amazing location and well equipped and comfortable house for a long weekend. We were not disappointed!! The photos do not do it justice!! The house had everything we needed and even the chef that we hired to cook said what a well equipped kitchen it was to work in! The grounds were breathtaking! We used the tennis courts ,boats and kayaks - the grown ups and the grandkids had so much fun!! We will definitely be back again soon Thank you so much Maggie x

Spectacular
Lake Lodge Maxie is simply beautiful. I don?t think the website does it justice; it?s perfect in every way. We were a Burghley Horse Trials party of 8, all friends and family and I also did a dinner for 12. Everything I needed was there; I didn?t need to ask for anything. The Lodge is so well laid out and such a wonderful space for entertaining. But it?s the location that makes it special, right on the lake and to get up in the morning and sit outside looking at the glass image of the mature trees all-round the lake is just spectacular. We went boating, walked in the woodland round the lakes, played tennis, sat on the terrace thoroughly enjoying the view, what more would you want. I?m going to recommend Lake Lodge to all my Facebook Friends; it?s a gem of a house on the Cambridgeshire/Lincolnshire border.

Family holiday for three generations.
All 9 of us enjoyed our stay . The house 🏠 had all we could wanted . The lake was just perfect we had been canoeing 🛶 before but not paddle boarding . We took our own paddle board and used the small one there . The wild life was there if you looked hard . The grounds and tennis court were also put to good use . The village pub was excellent and friendly . We shall return perhaps in the summer next time . All in all wonderful for a family to spend time together .

Dream stay
Most attentive hosts who are delightful. Gorgeous property and fantastic grounds and facilities. The best equipped house we have ever stayed in. We and the family had a wonderful week with absolutely no complaints. The combination of sunshine on the lake, swans a swimming, herons a flying and magnificent woods to walk through took our breath away every time we stepped outside. Thanks for everything Maggie.

Lovely staycation
Lake lodge was the perfect staycation property. It was spotlessly clean (and clearly lots of effort has gone in to making it even more so during the pandemic). The lake is Such a great asset - we loved having use of the boats which really added to our trip. Couldn’t recommend this place enough for a weekend break away.

About the host

Hosted by Maggie Tebbit

Host profile image
We run a family farm, together with our daughter and son-in-law, about 30 miles away from Lake Lodge which is Maggie's family home, built by her parents. We have been running Lake Lodge as a holiday let for thirteen years and often stay at our cabin in the grounds where we enjoy meeting some of our guests. Maggie was born in Maxey and several of her family still live there, so she knows the area well and can provide plenty of local information. We do much of the maintenance work on the house and grounds and are constantly thinking of new ways to change or improve the property.

Why they chose this property

To keep this wonderful house in the family we completely renovated it to make it suitable as a holiday let as it is in such a stunning location and ideal for family holidays. Guests can either have a relaxing holiday or an energetic one with tennis, rowing, kyacking, walking on site and golf or cycling nearby, so it is suitable for all age groups and very popular with multi-generation families. We have many repeat visitors each year who return for the peace and quiet, views and fact that the house is so well equipped.

What makes this property unique

Lake Lodge is a quiet calming oasis with wonderful views over the lake. Whatever the weather guests can either relax in the lounge or out on the patio and enjoy the scenery and extensive wildlife including otters and kingfishers on the lake and in the grounds. For those wanting activity they can step out of the house and straight into the rowing boats and kayaks which can be used all year round, play tennis on the hard tennis court or take advantage of both the footpaths in the grounds or the many local footpaths through quite countryside and along the local river and canal. Round off the day sitting on the patio sipping drinks and watching some spectacular sunsets or in winter months sitting in the cosy lounge that has a Smart TV to keep you entertained. The house caters for all ages and is perfect for either a family get-or groups of friends meeting up. Many choose it to celebrate a special occasion.
