  • "Great size rooms, really comfy beds and very private."

    Loved the small touches like the late check out, bottle of wine and bag of crisps that were provided. The cot and high chair provided for my baby were excellent quality and he slept really well which is great as he can be quite fussy. Rooms were really clean and great facilities, a large fridge and separate large freezer were very welcome. Great location for walking into Belper. The grounds around the lodge were lovely, with sun loungers provided and a cute seating area. Possibly could have done with a little more info/instructions on how to work the shower in the main bathroom, the oven and the tumble dryer as these were quite fancy and we struggled to get them to work. Overall a fantastic stay and perfect for our needs.

  • "Thank you it was fantastic."

    The hot tub was a much needed treat after our 13mile charity walk for Dementia. The welcome gift of milk snacks and of course a lovely bottle of wine, was a lovely touch. The wine went down very nicely too thank you. I would recommend and I would stay with you again. Thank you see you soon.

    Congratulations on your charity walk, and we are so glad you had a relaxing stay with us to recover! Property Owner

    The Maintenance Manager, Steve, is an absolute gem and couldn’t have been more helpful. A very relaxing few days.

    So glad you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner

  • "AVOID AT ALL COSTS!"

    Horrible owners, take pictures of everything before and after your arrival/departure as the owner will accuse you of random damage. There was also a horrible dirt track leading straight to the communal garden of the lodge, around 1km in distance which was not communicated and completely messed up the bottom of ours cars (over £1k damage). Not the best facilities and lodge looks a lot smaller than shown in pictures. Not enough dustbins for a communal space so plenty of litter smell in surrounding areas. Not the finest of experiences. Would not recommend!

    I’m sorry you felt the need to leave such a bad review. We have never had to charge guests for damage before but unfortunately the state you left our lodge was beyond reasonable. You left the day before check out without locking the door and taking the key with you, meaning our house was unlocked overnight and we had to change the locks as we had new guests arriving. You left oil stains on the patio which won’t come out and holes in the laminate flooring. Luckily we could repair the damage to the blinds and table, but the other things are not so easy to fix. We don’t mind guests smoking outside, but it took us over an hour to collect all the cigarette butts around the garden including finding them in the hot tub, requiring a full drain down and clean. We do state on our pre-arrival info that there is a track leading to the farm that is a little bumpy and to take it slowly. The track does not belong to us so we cannot resurface it, but we repair it regularly to make the journey smoother. Property Owner

  • "We had a really lovely weekend at Wildersley Farm Lodge."

    I think the photos do not do it justice as it is quite secluded (up a farm track) so it feels private, even though you are in the farm area. The owner Ami text me prior to coming, so they felt very approachable for questions which I appreciated. The Lodge is very well equipped and there were already some supplies there (tea, coffee, bin bags, cleaning bits) so even the items we might've forgotten were covered. Our children were able to play on the safe space of grass at the front of the Lodge, which in turn was relaxing for us! We had a BBQ on the grill and the hot tub was fun. They'd even thought of the dog because they have things like the stable door, a dog peg for outside and wall hooks while in the hot tub. Everyone left feeling like they'd had a wonderful weekend, thank you for your hospitality!

    Thank you for your lovely feedback, we're so pleased you all had a lovely time! Property Owner

  • "This place has outdone our expectations!"

    We knew we were down for a treat and were not disappointed upon arrival. The lodge is 100% equipped to anyone’s needs. Enquiries were answered to immediately. A mix of modern yet surprisingly old school feel. Every detail has been considered! Kids loved the outdoor space. Definitely will be visiting again. The only thing I’d say that I've missed (probably) is neighbours. The photos made us think it is secluded from other lodges but turned out there are more; nonetheless it did not affect our stay. Thank you for a lovely weekend away

    We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again soon! Property Owner
