- Mrs Garside, September 2020
“It was a delight to find a property that really did tick all our boxes, spotless and it provided something that we have been searching for for a long time.”

The owners were very friendly, professional and added to the overall experience. Very unusually we will be returning next year.

- Mr Davis, August 2020
“The lodge was excellent.”

Very comfortable and clean. The ownwers were very friendly and helpful. The location is peaceful and out of the way. Easy to social distance here. The hot tub was lovely and well maintained and checked regularly. Many local takeaways deliver here too great.. The fishintg is great good fighters. Already booked to go again

- Mrs Hilton, July 2020
“Beautiful, tranquil, quiet.”

- Mrs Spencer, February 2020
“The facilities at this place are amazing!”

The owners have thought of absolutely everything you could possibly need from a washing machine including a handful of tablets, complimentary soaps, body lotions, umbrellas, a potato peeler to a Tupperware box. The list goes on. The lodge is beautiful, a true home from home, thoroughly cleaned and so tranquil. Despite witnessing some of the worst floods ever in the area during our stay and numerous road closures we managed to fill each day with something. There are many places a short drive away which are worth a visit. We thoroughly enjoyed walks around The Forest of Dean, Symonds Yat and Puzzle Wood. Finally, it must be said any time spent in the hot tub was such a luxury and so relaxing. On a clear night the stars were so clear. Well worth a booking.

- Mrs Ball, February 2020
“One of the best places in the UK I have ever had the pleasure of staying at.”

The log cabin was lovely and had everything we needed and more. The owner left some local cheese and a bottle of wine which was I thought a lovely touch.. It was so quiet and peaceful. The fishing was great too. One day the only person fishing on the lake was me. Wonderful. I used the hot tub a few times and enjoyed this very much. Thank you for a super stay and I would really love to stay there again.

- Mrs Hopkins, September 2019
“Another excellent week at Phocle Lake, having also previously stayed in Skylark.”

The only reasons expectations were not exceeded is by the fact we'd been there before. The perfect place for a quiet away from it all peaceful break with both teenagers and elderly grandparents. Great fishing, beautiful area, wonderful hot tub and excellent lodge. Thank you

- Mrs Woods, August 2019
“Beautiful lodge, scenery and hot tub.”

We all enjoyed it and would recommend Phocle Lakes.

- Mrs Pollitt, August 2019
“We had the most amazing time!”

Everything exceeded our expectations, both Sykes and the lodge owners have been amazing to deal with and communication has been fantastic. Fully recommend in all aspects! Thank you for another wonderful trip.

- Mrs Broad, July 2019
“The excellent greeting and explanation of facilities in the cottage .”

And the welcome wine and cheese The hot tub added to our pleasure in the evenings after a day spent out walking .

- Mr Cozens, May 2019
“This has been one of the best family holidays we've had to date.”

Our wonderful host Richard was extremely helpful and knowledgeable regarding where to go with the children. We will definitely be back!

- Mrs Welton, April 2019
“Everything was as described, but made much more enjoyable by the welcome from Richard, and the local cheese and wine left for us, all the small complementary extras, and the superb fishing!”

- Mrs Smith, March 2019
“Amazing home away from home, with beautiful views!”

We would like to thank Richard and Liz for a lovely holiday. The house has excellent heating, and is brand new. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings, and the temperature was great. We loved the location, as it was close to many sights and walking trails with a minimal drive for outings. The washing machine was a nice convenience to have, as we were traveling for a couple of weeks. Our 93 year old Auntie loved everything about the home, and the beds can be reconfigured depending on how many people are in your party. We enjoyed the french press coffee maker, as we sat on the patio in the morning to watch the wildlife. There is a large grocery store, Morrison's, to buy groceries and it was open late at night. Thank you Richard for the maps and being so informative and kind.

“Our host at Kingfisher was hospitable, generous and helpful - and we really enjoyed the gift of local cheese and wine!”

- Rev Varley, February 2019
“This was a Christmas holiday for 3 generations of our family.”

.....it was perfect! Lots of space for all...warm and cosy with electric log burner too.....comfy beds and quality furnishings etc.... complimentary toiletries,slippers and welcome gift of wine and cheese....everything had been done to make us feel welcome and relaxed....very peaceful surroundings with a picturesque lake which we could see from the cabin. Fishable too if we'd brought our rods! AND, how can I not mention the hot tub! Icing on the cake...used every day/evening by all, with views of the lake and stars.

- Mrs Jones, December 2018
“We had a lovely welcome from richard the owner and he had left wine and cheese for us.”

.both were delicious. The lodge is stunning and well equipped ..it is in a beautiful peaceful setting. We used the hot tub every night..we had clear skies so was great for stargazing. The lodge is ideally placed for getting around by car. We will certainly be visiting again soon. Thank you Richard and Liz x

- Mrs Robertson, December 2018
“We had a fantastic 2 night stay in Kingfisher - our only complaint would be that it wasn't long enough!”

The Lodge is immaculately clean and extremely well equipped, and the hot tub is lovely. Location is beautiful and is a great place to base yourself to explore the surrounding area. Richard and Liz were hugely welcoming and had even left us a bottle of local wine and some cheese to enjoy on our first night. We would thoroughly recommend for friends, family or couples alike and we will definitely be returning.

- Miss Jeary, November 2018
“Fabulous holiday!”

Great fun in a beautiful place. Perfect cabin for families, friends or any occasion to just get away and unwind.

- Mr Hunt-humphries, November 2018

Everything about this holiday was amazing especially the fishing, Richard, the owner was very welcoming and friendly and we will return again soon

- Mrs Wood, October 2018
“Great location for keen fishers!”

Owners were wonderful and made our stay so welcoming and comfortable

- Mrs Littleton, October 2018
“Mum’s 86th birthday trip”

Took my mum to Kingfisher lodge with our 13 year old twins to celebrate her 86th birthday. The lodge is equipped to the highest standard and set within the most beautiful location right next to the lake. Swans, ducks and geese are always swimming past, the hot tub is first class. I really can’t fault the lodge at all, handy from the motorway and supermarkets only a 5min drive away. Only feedback I would give is it would be good to have a paved path to the hot tub, the gravel can be awkward to walk on. Would highly recommend and would return.
