“Great lodge 2nd time we’ve visited.”

Fantastic for walks with the dog also. Wanted to book again for same week next year to find price had virtually doubled. Such a shame, we’re very disappointed. Price is too expensive for this type of accommodation.

“Perhaps more crockery, mugs etc.”

, and responsibility for tracking quantities of each falling to the owners rather than handing us an inventorty and asking us to count each. Wine fridge wasn't working and reported on first day and told someone would come over later and take a look. Nothing happened though. Walk in shower wasn't usable because of the water spillage to the whole bathroom. Don't want to sound negative beacuse it was a lovely cottage and we really enjoyed our time there overall.

“Ticencote Lodge was all that we had hoped and expected it to be.”

The furnishings were country casual style/design and the overall finish was most attractive. The living,dining, eating area was well served with plenty of cupboard space, an area for shoes and coats and overall very well appointed. Having the lodge within a few minutes walk of the lovely Barnsdale Lodge Hotel was the best of both worlds. Somewhere to pop across for a drink before cooking in the kitchen at the lodge but with the option of dinner at the hotel that we enjoyed on a couple of occasions, one being Sunday lunchtime. Unlike a hotel room, the lodge meant with only the two of us plenty of space to stretch out, a bathroom and shower room meant no sharing needed! The area of Rutland Water is beautiful and we enjoyed a relaxed week in delightful surroundings. We almost never return to the same place twice as we love to discover new areas but I have a strong feeling that we will aim to return to a Rutland Reatreat lodge at a different time of year.

“These Rutland retreats are fabulous.”

Excellent facilities. Great staff at the hotel. Fabulous food in the hotel. Must advise customers that you can park your car outside your chosen retreat. The local area has many attractions. Rutland water is beautiful as are the surrounding towns and villages. Rutland Water is a bird watchers paradise. Children would enjoy visiting the many visitors centres located around this reservoir.

“The second bedroom is more suitable for children than two adults.”

There is only a bedside two drawer chest, a very narrow wardrobe and some open shelving for guests to put there clothing and accessories. Very cramped conditions spoilt an otherwise ideal lodge. The telephone was said to be out of order and away to be fixed, but would be returned to the lodge on Monday. It wasn’t and was subsequently found on a shelf in the cleaning cupboard. Is it that the hotel did not want us to use it?

“Really enjoyed Tickencote.”

please note. twin beds were made up as a double! Your info said it would be made up as a twin unless otherwise requested. But we found that room too claustrophobic anyway so we managed in the double room. My husband is disabled and single beds are easier. But we managed OK. A nice touch was the freshly washed dog bed and water dish for our Jack Russell....nice touch. 5 star accommodation. Tricia F Knowles

“The lodge had everything you could need for a holiday break.”

It was warm, very comfy and well equipped. Ideally situated near Rutland water, had great walks with our dog and also explored a lot of the surrounding villages. Ate at the hotel on our last night as they offered a 20% discount which was very welcome and they also allowed our dog in. Food was excellent. This was a perfect place to spend a weeks holiday and we would have no hesitation in recommending this lodge.

“Excellent lodge with everything there on site to have a relaxing time”

“The pictures on of Tickencote Lodge that I saw on your website don't do it justice.”

The grounds that the lodges are in are kept neat and tidy, the gravel is raked regularly, and the interiors of the lodges are excellent. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and I received immediate service to remedy a broken door handle and blown lightbulbs. We used our satnav to get to Barnsdale Lodge but when we were about 100 or so yards away it sent us left instead of right at a T junction, it would be good if this could be remedied. We had a lovely week and would stay there again without hesitation.

“Lovely well appointed lodge, great location with access to hotel bar and restaurant.”

Staff in hotel helpful and friendly.

“Everything lovely but only downfall is the road noise so it was not enjoyable sitting out in the sun.”

There are two busy roads on two sides of the property. We would possibly go again if we got a cottage in the farthest corner away.
