Lodge was comfortable and clean. It is a cost cabin so slightly tight, but spending time outside in hot tub or al fresco meals on the decking didnt make the inside space that much of an issue.

The lodge was lovely and clean. It was very warm inside, i had to turn the heaters off in the bedroom but left on in the lounge. The beds were really comfy and cozy. The decor was beautiful in the bedrooms. The bathroom was spacious and had lovely touches of little shampoo and shower gel bottles and a little soap plus a toilet roll which I wasn't expecting. Inside the fridge was a bottle of water and a pint of milk. There was also coffee, tea and biscuits samples, a very nice touch.I would definitely stay in this lodge again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Brockwood Hall. Beautiful surroundings and the peacocks were wonderful strutting around the place. Our grandchildren had a fab time playing in the park and meeting new friends.Thank you

Best location on the site in our view, with superb views to the sea and surrounded by trees. The lodge is stylishly designed and well equipped, with the added attraction of an enormous hot tub! What's not to like?

Very warm and cozy lodge, extra large towels for hot tub, fabulous decking with added security of a gate to stop your dogs escaping, this was a relief, hot tub very hot ???? so staff adjusted temperature. Fabulous maintained grounds, plenty of of lovely peacocks ???? roaming around which added to the beauty of the site, bar and steak ???? house on site , woodland walks what more could you ask for!! Certainly am going back for longer soon x

Lovely comfortable lodge, well equipped and very clean. Loved the little touches, a pint of milk in the fridge and a coffee machine with pods for when we arrived. Some parts looked a little worn (corners of some carpets & table legs) but not obvious unless you're looking for lost little toys under beds & sofas. Hot tub was lovely.

Nice big lodge with a lovely view across the valley. Plenty of utensils etc, hot tub was a good size but in need of a lid bar to make it easier to put the lid back on and the jets could be better. All showers were good and the place was immaculate when we got there. Would Definitely stay in viken lodge again in the future

We had a lovely stay at Viken Lodge! The view over the valley was stunning and the lodge was spotlessly clean when we arrived. Its well-equipped with all the utensils youd need. The hot tub was a decent size, though a lid bar wouldve made handling the lid a lot easier and the jets could be a bit stronger. Wed definitely come back!

We really enjoyed our stay! The lodges are cosy and the hot tub and sauna were lovely treats. Some areas looked a bit worn out, but it didnt ruin our trip. Comfortable beds and quality linens made it even better. Two bathrooms are definitely a plus!

We spent a week here in mid-July with our two little dachshunds and honestly, they loved every minute of it! The village of Thaxted is charming and friendly and the cottage itself is really lovely. The hot tub was such a highlight, especially during the scorching days; it was cooled just enough to be perfect and super refreshing. The hosts were warm and welcoming and it was nice to see them taking their dogs out to the fields every day. Being near Stansteds flight path added some entertainment, watching the planes come in. Wed definitely recommend it - a great stay!

We loved the stunning views at Grizedale Lodge, even if some areas like the floors and door frames look a bit worn. The sofas are a tad low, but the beds are comfy and the kitchen has everything we needed. Nice touch with the welcome pack and treats for the dogs-really made us feel at home. Overall, a lovely stay!

We had a lovely stay at the lodge, the views were truly stunning and its a great spot to relax. The only real issue was arriving to find the place freezing cold, with just one tiny radiator in the living area-it took ages to warm up! When we checked in, we were told the hot tub might not be ready until around 9pm if it was still being cleaned last and unfortunately, ours was the last one, so it was still cold at 9 and we couldnt use it till the next morning. That was a bit of a let-down. Despite that, wed definitely recommend it and would come back. Though, we did notice prices seem to have gone up quite a lot for 2025-bit of a shock! Still, overall a good experience.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Viken Lodge in Brockwood Hall and honestly, it was just what we needed. From the moment we pulled up, the lodges cosy charm and the stunning natural scenery immediately put us at ease. The place itself was spotless and beautifully decorated, striking a perfect balance between modern comfort and rustic charm. The open-plan living space was a real highlight-spacious enough to relax in but still super inviting, with big windows that offered incredible views of the woods and fells around us. The kitchen was fully kitted out, which made self-catering straightforward and the little touches like the comfy bedding and the welcome pack made us feel really looked after. The best bit? The private hot tub. Honestly, after a day out exploring, nothing beats soaking in those bubbles with the peaceful surroundings all around. Its such a luxury! Brockwood Halls location is fantastic-peaceful and secluded, yet close enough to visit Lake District highlights like Coniston Water and Muncaster Castle. There are some lovely woodland walks just outside the door, perfect for a morning stroll or a bit of afternoon adventure. The staff at Brockwood Hall were brilliant-friendly, attentive and always happy to offer tips or a smile, which made a big difference. Whether you want a romantic escape, a family holiday, or just some peace and quiet in nature, Viken Lodge ticks all the boxes. Its a perfect blend of luxury and tranquility and were already planning our next visit!

We had a fantastic stay at the lodge! Its super cosy and spacious enough for our family of five. The hot tub was always at the perfect temperature, which was a lovely bonus. We also enjoyed some great walks nearby and the grounds are spotless and well-maintained. The only real downside was dining at Billys restaurant in Brockwood Hall - honestly, the food was pretty shocking. The Sunday roast lamb was mostly fat and the steaks were burnt to a crisp, tasting of charcoal. The chef wasnt exactly friendly either and didnt take kindly to any complaints about the food. Still, the lodge itself made up for it!
