“Great location and great place to stay”

The lodge is a very short distance from the Tissington Trail which has links to other trails. BUT included in the holiday was the use of the adjoining hotel for morning coffee, afternoon tea and evening meals. The chef however had left so none of these facilities were available. The holiday was booked with the consideration that convenient facilities would be on hand! This obviously was not the case so the holiday failed to meet our expectations.

Not many of the tap washers worked very well and it was very hard to turn off the taps - waste of water. We were looking forward to watching the first episode of Strictly when we arrived at the lodge, but there is no signal for BBC 1 or 2. We watched the programme in the bar in the end. The lodge might have been a little cleaner, a lot of dust behind the beds and the oven was grubby. However, on the positive side, the lodge is cosy and the beds were really comfortable with lovely clean bed linen and towels. The staff in the hotel were lovely and made us feel really welcome and the lodge is in a great place for a base for exploring the Peak District.

“Negatives- only one tea towel for whole week- only one bin bag for whole week- only two outside chairs (when lodge is supposed to cater for six) we were a party of 3 which meant one of us had to sit on floor- tv signal was not good we report this to hotel but they put it down to the hot weather!”

!!!! Overall a lovely lodge and we had a pleasant stay.

G. chewing gum, sweet wrappers and dirt underneath the settee cushions. The window blinds were also thick with dust and with cobwebs behind them. * There was very little literature provided to explain how the appliances worked - nothing for the boiler, the dishwasher and the DVD player and the hotel receptionist was, perhaps understandably, of little help. * The Lodge was poorly equipped. There was a lack of glassware, cutlery, crockery and utensils. Although the accommodation is supposedly for 6 persons there were only 3 wine glasses, 4 forks, 5 knives, 5 dessert spoons and 5 teaspoons when we arrived. We had to ask for more. The hotel staff were reluctant to make up the number when we asked saying that it should have been checked before we arrived - but it obviously wasn't!!! There were also only 3 saucepan s- none of which were big enough when cooking for 5. We did go round and ask to speak to the manager on 2 occasions but got a different story each time of when she would be there - and she certainly never bothered to come and see us to respond to our complaints. The staff we encountered were very polite. I think the poor standards in the Lodge are the result of poor management. On the plus side the Lodge is in a brilliant location - right on the Tissington Trail - and these criticisms could be put right so easily. Mrs Elizabeth Kilgour

About the location

TISSINGTON

Bradbourne 2.6 miles; Ashbourne 5 miles; Chatsworth House 17.6 miles

Tissington is a beautiful little village in the Peak District National Park. Famous for its well dressings, Tissington invites you to come along and soak up the atmosphere of this well-managed estate village with its duck pond, quaint cottages, church, tea rooms and impressive old hall. It's a very pretty village and a perfect place from which to enjoy the many sights of the Peak District. A fabulous area for outdoor pursuits, the Tissington Trail cycle path is located close by, little over a mile to the east of the village. Dovedale, one of England's photographed beauty spots with its iconic stepping stones, is close by and must not be missed! There are many varied walks, climbing opportunities and cycle routes in the area, and this is also an ideal base for days out at Alton Towers, impressive Chatsworth House, or enjoying the watersports at Carsington Water. The nearby market town of Ashbourne, once a fashionable social centre of the 18th century, boasts an eccentric street plan, with charming cobbled alleyways littered with old market stalls and welcoming coaching inns. Many fine Georgian buildings remain, hosting a good selection of restaurants, wine bars and interesting antique shops.
