First of all I just want to confirm Bainland is nothing like centre parks. Its absolute poles apart from centre parks in soo many different ways. I visited with my wife and 8 month old Monday to Friday and we stayed in Bear which is one of the hunting inspired lodges overlooking one of the lakes. It was amazing and so glad we payed extra for the privilege. The lodge itself was well equipped with small oven and hob. There was a log burner in our cabin with a little oven built into it if you wanted to use it. I believe all units on site have hot tubs, they work perfectly, just take the lid off and its ready to go. There was nothing better than chilling in the hot tub and watching the wildlife on the lake. Sublime. Theres 2 TVs in the lodge with good WiFi coverage. No stone is left unturned all across the park, the owner has really thought about the clientele he wants to attract (no riffraff) even the small shop on site stocked 3 different brands of champagne along with premium gins like monkey47 which is one of my personal favourites. All the units on site have ample parking and all seem to have good pitches so regardless of what you book you wont be disappointed, just depends if you want the added luxury of being on one of the lakes or one of the private villas if you have deep pockets. The lodges are all very private, we even had a walk around to the tent area and they are all spaced out very well with plenty of room in between. The nest is a great spot to eat and if even compare it to some top restaurants in London Ive eaten in terms of environment. Again kudos to the owner as the attention to detail is fantastic, the outside area reminded of being abroad, quite classy, exotic looking all looked to be reclaimed beams. The park area is also brilliant although my daughter was still a little young for it. The wood and design used reminded me of the wicker man ride at Alton towers. Very smart. All the staff are brilliant, they all seem very happy to work there, they were very accommodating and helpful. Just a few negatives I found during my stay, which takes nothing away from the experience we had its just more a feedback perspective. 1, Theres no disabled bays in the parking area (although I do find Lincolnshire in general very anti disabled) 2, There was a crack in the shower tray which was quite sharp, we just avoided standing there for the duration. 3, Was told upon booking that logs were delivered every morning but we at to ring reception everyday to request them. 4, The 24 person limit for the swimming pool is too many for a small pool, it was chaotic with people getting ready to leave and people trying to get ready to get in the pool. We had to change our baby on the floor next to the shower tray and her head next to the bin which wasnt ideal. I know they were a work in progress and would say this was our only real gripe but like I said it didnt have any a negative impact on our holiday. We are already looking at booking one of the executive lodges for next year.
