  • "Absolutely superb location and spotlessly clean accommodation with all the accessories required for a short or long term stay."

    The hosts were easily contacted and provided a simple and hassle free check in/out. And let's not forget the well maintained and amazing hot tub! Only one criticism is the small sofas for relaxing in the evenings, as there was only room for 4 people even though the lodge sleeps 6.

  • "Just returned from a short break as our usual lodge place was booked out - always hard to get something last min that takes 2 dogs and has a hot tub - I was able to find this lodge and we were not disappointed."

    Lovely comfortable and clean lodge, secluded location fantastic hot tub and walks on doorstep - everything we wanted. Kids (13/19) felt the bunk beds were a little on the small side but thats a minor point. All in all a huge thumbs up - Matt was only a phone call away if needed

  • "Lovely property, had everything you need to have have a great holiday."

    the large hot tub was brilliant and under cover from the elements. We had a heavy fall of snow and with the owner decorating the property with a Christmas tree and other decorations it was even more magical. Each morning I took a two minute stroll down to the lake to feed the ducks and watch the anglers. Would book this property again without a doubt. Good quality furniture and big comfortable beds and good showers. Great layout and feeling of space and room to move about.

    Brilliant location for touring the area and quiet and peaceful. Having our dog with us was a bonus with a closed in garden but plenty of walks close by. The lodge was spotlessly clean and most comfortable, with the added bonus of a hot tub which we had no worries about using. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly and we highly recommend staying here.

  • "We arrived on 25 August to be greeted by the cleaning lady who was finishing off her duties."

    She took time to show us around and was very welcoming. The lodge itself was fantastic with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. We had some issues with the hot tub that we caused by pressing some wrong buttons but the owner resolved this immediately even though he was in France on holiday! We really felt at home in the lodge (there were 6 of us and a dog) and found the location to be exactly what we needed. I could not recommend this place highly enough and we will definitely be returning in the future! Thank you to Mark and Matthew and a shout out to Dan who helped with the hot tub issues. Absolutely fantastic holiday!

  • "Generally very happy with our stay here."

    Well equipped and the hot tub was a much enjoyed bonus. It would have been useful if the shower cubicles came with a basket or somewhere inside them to put items such as a bar of soap. The lack of this led to us dropping the sink soap dish and having to pay for the breakage which we felt could have been avoided. Id the owners had ever used the showers they would have noticed this lack immediately and so we can't give it a higher approval rating.

    Provides everything you need for a 2 night getaway or 2 week staycation. Either relax in the very well maintained hottub or take a short walk down to Rudyard lake to see some breathtaking views.

    Upon arrival It was clean and tidy and had anything you could possibly need. We were so impressed with the cleanliness and maintenance of the hot tub, it always looked clean and smelled fresh with chlorine. The property was beautiful and was a perfect place to take dogs with the big field on the back, within the perfect location as there was a large lake close by to take your animals on dog walks. The property owners were lovely and was always available for any questions you had, which was very reassuring.

    The lodge was lovely with fabulous bathrooms ( showers were marvellous). Beds were really comfortable. There was plenty of space and it was really warm which was great as we went during Storm Dennis. We were able to take both our dogs and the walks from the lodge were excellent. The hot tub was fun and the owners were frequently on site to make sure it was clean and operating properly. Matt and Mark were both very helpful and were on hand when we had queries. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The only thing to watch out for if you have dogs is that the garden is not currently secure and the dogs could access a communal space, which in busier times might have been an issue. There was an outside verandah space which was secure but not suitable for dog toileting. I think the garden is to be made secure in the future. I would recommend the lodge, and the position by the lake was a great spot for a holiday with access to sailing, canoeing and rowing.
