  • "Very grateful to the owner for letting us charge the car."

    Sykes really need to wake up to the growth of EV ownership and start encouraging new properties to include vehicle charging and to include in listings the charging position. Hot tub a real treat - much appreciated. Somewhere in the kitchen area to store food would have been helpful. Great location for touring this beautiful and not sufficiently recognised tourist area.

  • "Beautiful location for a quiet break away peaceful and beautiful views."

    Lots of outdoor space and seating. Lodge felt unfinished needs tweaking steps needed onto the decking area. More wardrobe space needed. Feel the listing of the lodge and facilities isn’t correct really needs updating and to inc the train line that is immediately behind the lodge (didn’t bother us as we live by a train line) may bother other people though also the ongoing works on the site. If you go in summer take fly spray with you! Lovely for a quiet break away.

  • "Lovely place to stay with a private decking/patio area with hot tub, comfortable chairs and lounger."

    Perfect for good weather. Some concerns about fire safety .. there is an internal wood burner, a big fire pit on the wood decking (and what looked like another fire pit in the middle of a coffee table on the decking). The hot-tub is also wood-fire heated. With careful use these should be fine but it only takes a moment for a kid to become over-excited or a spark to land in the wrong place. I'd have liked to have seen a fire extinguisher in the kitchen at least. The lodge is really great inside - beautifully equipped. However, could we please have the instruction manuals for the dishwasher and air fryer? And could we have some oven gloves please? A visitor info pack would mean it'd not be necessary to explain the hot-tub use/buttons and could also include the Wifi password. The property is within close proximity of a rail track (Stamford to Oakham) - some may like to be made aware of that as trains (quite noisy) seem to be every 20 mins or so and run quite late into the night. The general description may need a bit of an update - the bath isn't P-shaped (so what?) and the 'communal freshwater dipping area' isn't actually a thing. Would recommend to those wanting a private and relaxing break as there's plenty to explore and do around Oakham and the Rutland Water area.

    The lodge itself was very well equipped, comfortable, clean and tidy throughout. The area is beautiful and has several lovely pubs in walking distance that are definitely worth visiting.

  • "What a lovely stay!"

    Very comfortable. We were nice and cosy, had everything we needed and, very much enjoyed the hot tub and the fire. The cabins are well designed and have good privacy to relax. A good location too, walking distance from pubs and very near the beautiful Rutland Water. We would very much recommend.

    Basic cleaning items, tea bags, kitchen very well equipped. Great wood-fired hot tub and outside decking area. Quiet location with plenty of wildlife to watch while sitting in the tub. Owners are very welcoming and available to help when needed.
