  • "We stayed at the lodge for our 30th wedding anniversary and it was an amazing experience."

    The lodge was absolutely beautiful. Very clean and tidy and the kitchen is beautiful and very well laid out with all the cutlery you would need. The views were also amazing from the outside seating area. The hot tub was wonderful. One or two points for the owners to consider. When we arrived the heating wasn't on so it was quite cold inside the lodge being October. There were no instructions as to how we operated the heating system but hubby sorted this out in about 15 minutes. Perhaps instructions should be left out. We also could not get the electric fire to work no matter how many times we pressed buttons on the remote. Again instructions required. The other point is that there is a security light outside the glass front door which shines very brightly into the hall passageway and in to the living room. Perhaps a curtain to pull across would be a way round this as it is very bright. Just one more point new dining plates required as two of the plates had chips in them around the side. Some of the points mentioned might seem picky but they did not spoil our holiday in any way and saying the above I asked myself a question. Would I go back again and the simple answer is In A Heartbeat. It was a 30th anniversary I will never forget and we both loved every minute. Hope to be back next year. Mrs C Sharp

  • "Ruperts Retreat is in a lovely quiet location but still convenient for visiting places."

    We would agree with previous comments that some of the crockery needs replacing and the lack of instructions is a real letdown. The only four mugs were chipped and there were only three dinner plates, two of which were chipped, in a lodge meant for 4. With a little bit more care and attention from the owners and possibly a small welcome pack with useful information, this could be a very nice lodge.

  • "Gorgeous lodge fully equipped with all you need for a stay here."

    Plenty of storage space, very comfortable. Wonderful quiet location. Hot tub was so relaxing after a long day out walking in Fleetwood, Lytham and the coast . You need a car if you want to see the area . The ponds were full of ducks, and the little dog Roxy made great entertainment.

  • "Property was modern with good facilities."

    Lovely beds and clean rooms. However, 3 things that could be improved. Some plates chipped and glasses missing, lack of relative information (welcome pack) to the local area, and not fishing available on site as advertised.

  • "Lovely location only neighbours were the ducks and geese."

    Hot tub was lovely for tired feet from walking. Farm at the end of the main road to get fresh milk, milkshakes and ice creams! Small niggly things we found to be annoying main bedroom has a security light facing window so during the night there's an orange glow- a blackout blind is required. No frying pan!- we had to message to ask for one. Freezer was also not working correctly my ice was melting and I had to bin the ice cream. The road to get into the property is full of very deep potholes. No clothes airer we did a small wash due to getting soaked on a walk but there was no clothes airer we ended up hanging everything over radiators.

    Could do with the instructions to heating etc but rang Hayley and we worked it out. Also maybe some more cup mats as there were only 2 and I noticed marks on the dinning table. But all in all was lovely and we’ll be back.

  • "Wow..."

    Ruperts Retreat is fantastic. This lodge is one of three overlooking the pond. The large terrace has lovely views over the countryside. The open plan has a fully equipped kitchen and breakfast bar plus a circular dining table. The lounge area provides comfortable seating opposite the feature fireplace and a huge television. The bathroom has a large bathtub for relaxing, plus a nice shower room. Very peaceful and quiet. We will definitely return to Ruperts Retreat...

    ??then there is no frying pan or whisk or potato masher but the most annoying is there is no information about how to setup about WiFi. From getting there to going home not one person came to see if everything was ok??? What a shame

  • "The lodge was excellent and exactly like described on Skye’s Cottages."

    We had a very enjoyable week here, and the hot tub was a bonus. The lodge is fitted wall to wall with smart equipment, I do believe that a basic written instruction guide would prove helpful to those not as tech savvy as others. I would have no hesitation to recommend Ruperts Retreat and hopefully will return at a future date.

    Lovely location - very rural yet so close to cities if you want them (Preston, Blackpool) - 40 minutes to Lake district which was beautiful. Lodge is set overlooking 2 ponds - enjoyed watching the ducks. Lodge itself is stunning - massive TV and finer furnishings which give it that extra special touch. Hot tub was great! Highly recommend and we will be back.
