  • "On arrival, the kitchen had dirty splash back (coffee stains up the wall under the window), grill pan had cheese & crumbs in, 2 partly used containers of milk were in the fridge, one floor plank had slid & there was a 2” gap between planks."

    Kitchen window (left) latch was loose. Dried food was left stuck on dining table. Large duvet was lying in the bottom of the pantry. French doors by the wood burner/ sitting area wouldn’t shut (we looked at the handle & noted there was no locking mechanism, this meant the lodge was not secure. The En-suite shower in main the bedroom had 1/2 used toiletries in the shower which looked dirty (black & orange marks on the floor), also the shower curtain was orange/brown on the bottom 25%. In the main bedroom 4 pillowcases had been left draped over the television, we put them on the pillows. There were cobwebs throughout the property & the skirting boards were covered in dust. The WiFi hardly worked & it was only possible to get 3G. We certainly didn’t expect to have to go out to get any connection. We felt disappointed & think the lodge is tired. The lodge was a perfect size for us with a 94 year old in tow. We loved the location & the setting of the lodge. The Barnsdale Hotel was conveniently situated for meals & refreshments, and use of the WiFi.

  • "The Lodge was very nice and well equipped."

    It was a disappointment to come across things not working - french doors, fan, window latch and lightbulbs. That said when reported they were quickly fixed. The location was ideal but somewhat let down by the background road noise of A606.

  • "Lovely peaceful spot."

    Great that the lodges accept dogs. Not only that but lots of pubs and restaurants in the area also take dogs in with paying guests. The lodge was really well equipped - a home from home - and if anything the photographs just do not do this place justice. We were really impressed with the quality of the accommodation and will definitely be back in the future.

About the location

EXTON, RUTLAND

Stamford 7.8 miles; Melton Mowbray 14.4 miles

Exton offers a typical English village setting, with its traditional, stone buildings crowded around the green, in the East Midlands county of Rutland. The Fox and Hounds public house overlooks the tree-planted green, a former 17th century coaching inn, oozing with character, offering cosy winter evenings around the fireplace and lazy summer days out in the beer garden. To the south of the village are Barnsdale Gardens, created by Geoff Hamilton for the BBC's Gardeners' World, and the Barnsdale Hall Hotel and Country Club. Oakham is the nearest town, boasting a combination of stone and thatched buildings, a range of shops, as well as pubs, bars and eateries to choose from. There is also a local history museum, a 12th century castle and a 14th century church. The Rutland Water Nature Reserve offers watersports, a small water adventure park, birdwatching, a sailing club and fishing opportunities, with the Rutland Water Golf Course overlooking the lake. The train station provides access to the cities of Nottingham and Leicester with shops to browse and architecture to admire. The market town of Stamford is a mere stone's throw away, with its attractive Georgian-style buildings used in the 2005 Pride & Prejudice film, independent shops, cosy pubs and a range of restaurants. Melton Mowbray is further afield, with more amenities to explore. Home to the famous pork pie, this town also offers The Regal Cinema, Melton Theatre and the Melton Carnegie Museum. The village of Exton offers a warm and friendly atmosphere for the perfect holiday exploring the East Midlands.
