  • "First appearances the house was lovely really fantastic location, nice welcome of home made samosas."

    Disappointed when looking round the house, everywhere grubby and I had to clean all the bathrooms before our family arrived. Didn't appear to have been hoovered either, we have stayed in lots of Sykes houses, and it was for my daughters 40th birthday. No little touches like hand soap.

    Thank you for your feedback. All points have been taken into consideration and we will rectify. We know it’s not ideal but unfortunately our regular cleaner was away on holiday and we had a temp in. Property Owner

  • "We needed a big space for a gathering of generations for a family wedding nearby."

    The Lodge has plenty of space (inside and out), good bathroom ratio, a huge dining table and was warm. This was not a luxury place, but if you want to relax in a big space and not worry about getting on top of each other this is a good option. The price reflects the condition and maintenance of the building and if the odd technical hitch isn’t going to spoil your stay, then it’s great. Some general DIY and updating would improve it hugely as well as a deep clean, BUT we had a great family time and the young children loved the space. You need to take your own hand soap for the 4 bathrooms, dishwashing liquid, paper towel, dishcloth. Bath towels were large and the beds decent.

  • "We had a great weekend at Stensonhill Lodge."

    It suited us as a base for a craft weekend. Plenty of pubs close by and shops to hand if needed. The dining table was enormous, great for group meals and for crafting. Good range of ground floor and first floor accommodation. The kitchen was really well equipped to cater for larger groups. We had a couple of problems but a call to the owner rapidly resolved this. In arrival we were welcomed, shown how things worked and presented with the most incredible vegetable samosas. The lodge was warm, comfortable and well equipped. We did struggle to get the WI-fi to work but managed without it for the weekend. We would book again.

    Thank you for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back in the future . Property Owner

  • "We had a great weekend at the property celebrating my 60th birthday."

    It gave us plenty of space to meet, share meals and be together. The kitchen was well equipped for us to cook for everyone. The welcome samosas were very tasty and enjoyed by us all. The hot tub was fabulous and the outside space great for the dog and to play with the kids. The cleanliness of the property was ok but I do think it would benefit from a deep clean. We also had issues with two of the showers not draining well. Overall we had a lovely time. Thank you

    Thank you for your review glad you enjoyed the weekend. Hopefully look forward to welcoming you back Property Owner

    Grounds are shared with other rental (we had good experience -excellent neighbours). Surrounded by wheat fields but sound of A50 & railway nearby make it not quite rural ;)

  • "It was perfect for what we needed as a group of four different families, with children of different ages."

    Lots of bedrooms & bathrooms, big lounge and a dining area that seated all the group. The outside space is great, with a nice seating area and large lawn, perfect for our Rounders game. We had a few technical issues with the hot tube, but the caretaker was quick to react to our issues. Tennis courts were a hit with our group. A perfect base and suited our needs.

    Thank you so much for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hopefully we will see you again in the future Property Owner

  • "Such a beautiful cottage and a perfect place to unwind."

    The owner and caretaker were friendly and helpful and made us feel at home. The kitchen was well equipped and the samosas we were greeted with were so tasty. There’s a western town on site and my family enjoyed visiting it! The hot tub was perfect and used everyday. Bedrooms were spacious and bathrooms were clean. We would definitely stay here again! Our 3 dogs loved the field. Plenty of outside seating to enjoy the bbq! Thank you for such a nice week!

  • "We had a lovely stay here."

    Plenty of room for all of us. Beds were comfortable and it was well equipped. Samosas were divine, the best we've had and were enjoyed by all. We felt the property could do with a little TLC in places. Simple things like a replacement blind for the upstairs double room, new bulbs in several lamps. Tony and Tom are both very friendly and helpful. Would stay again.

    Thank you for your lovely feed back. We are aware that the blind needs replacing and it’s in hand. Regarding the lamps these are checked each turnover and bulbs replaced as and when they are needed. Some are touch based and we should have made that clear when you started your stay. We look forward too welcoming you again in the future. Property Owner

  • "Lovely location."

    large house with a well equipped Kitchen. Tom the owner and Tony the manager were very helpful and only a mobile text away if needed. We were welcomed with a lovely tray of food which we all enjoyed. Comfy beds Two kettles, stoves, toasters and fridge freezers made life easier to cater for the 13 of us and 2 dogs. Large table which we could all seat round comfortably to eat and a large lounge Everyone enjoyed the hot tub only drawback of the house was the wi fi which works but is basic.

    Thanks for the feedback. We know the WIFI isn’t the best but being rural it’s difficult to get a reliable provider Property Owner

  • "We were a large family group and had a great weekend."

    Plenty of space for all and everywhere was clean. The host was responsive to phone calls and we had an unexpected welcome gift of freshly made samosas - a nice touch thank you. Our only ‘complaints’ would be the very slow wifi and the lack of any facility to make fresh coffee - no machine or cafetière was provided. Other than that the place was very well equipped.

    Thank you for your review, I am pleased you had a good time. Unfortunately the internet is a problem due to us being remote and rural we are not able to get a good service provider. The other point about the cafetière is noted and we will endeavour to rectify. Property Owner

  • "This was an excellent place to stay with my young family, I think it would’ve been even better in the summertime, which I will have to consider coming back again with them all."

    I have to say Tom and Tony were very helpful in many ways, especially Tom with the fabulous samosas, freshly made when we arrived! I honestly feel like asking him for the recipe, that was very thoughtful of him to do that. They were always available for any issues that we needed to address. I will highly recommend this place as a excellent place to go with children, as lots of bedrooms, the mattresses upstairs possibly need to be replaced and we certainly need the lights in the hot tub area looked at, there was an issue with a leak coming in the conservatory top window, but as we were there in very stormy weather, we understood that this could happen, very very satisfied, as all I wanted to do was get together with my very young family I would definitely stay again, kind regards Angela.

    Thank you for your review, we have taken on board the issue with the lighting in the hot tub area and this has now been resolved . Also the mattresses are being replaced this coming week We look forward to welcoming you back Property Owner

    We were welcomed with freshly cooked samosas that were delicious. We were given all relevant information and every time I asked questions or had queries nothing was a bother. The spa was lovely. The view is just fields. In summer it would be great to be outside and have a bbq but for Autumn it was lovely to be in the dining area for our hen do. Perfect size for 12 of us (we had a few cancellations) . Not far from Derby town centre by taxi. There is a fun western town there as well.

    The cost out weighs the tiredness of the lodge, saying that it didn't spoil our stay.
