Check out Our Lodges

KayDee Homes recognises that most looked after children and young people have not been on holiday or even a few days aways from home having fun. KayDee Homes has access to two holiday homes at Tattershall Lakes Country Park, Lincolnshire for our young people to have the opportunity to experience a holiday/ ‘staycation’.

We have luxurious, fully furnished six and an eight berth lodges with lake views, access to the pool, spa, activities, gaming and bars and restaurants.
