“Beautiful, tranquil, quiet.”

- Mrs Spencer, February 2020
Mrs Ball 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 Hopkins September 2019

“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
Mrs Woods August 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
Mrs Pollitt August 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.

“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.

Miss Jeary November 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.

“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.

Mrs Lade August 2018

- Mrs Lade, August 2018

“We had a lovely week staying in Kingfisher Lodge.”

The accommodation was immaculate and very comfortable. The hot tub and fishing was an added bonus. Well placed for visiting the border towns with plenty to do for all ages in the surrounding area.

- Ms Steward, August 2018
Mrs Boulton July 2018

“Really relaxing place to stay in beautiful surroundings.”

Everything you could wish for in the lodge and it made a great base for day trips to discovery the area. Lots of wildlife on the lake to watch. The hot tub was an added bonus which we really enjoyed. I would recommend this lodge if you require a peaceful holiday.

- Mrs Boulton, July 2018
Ms Thomas May 2018

“A beautiful location and immaculate lodge.”

Richard and Elizabeth were extremely welcoming hosts... we’d love to go back again soon!

Miss Dunmore April 2018

“I’m still waiting for the good housekeeping bond to be returned to me by the owner of the property - should have been within 7 days as stated in your correspondence.”

The owner did email to say he didn’t have my bank details but I provided them to him a week ago. I would think twice before booking with you again!

- Miss Dunmore, April 2018
