The lodge was great, plenty of space around the lodge and only 10 lodges in total at the farm which meant it really felt like you was away from everything. The beds were really comfortable and we had everything we could have possibly needed. The internet was really great too which was an added bonus for our son!

Dymock Spa is a lovely self contained, clean and comfortable relaxing lodge. It has everything you need if you want to eat in, the lounge and bedroom were both comfortable and it was spotless on arrival.

We had a really lovely time at Berkley Elite Spa. The lodge was spotless and really modern, with a clever layout that made everything feel cosy yet spacious. It was warm and welcoming when we arrived, which was great after a long journey. The kitchen had all the appliances we could ask for, plus some handy complimentary bits and bobs and there were even board games for a bit of fun. The hot tub was spotless and set into the decking, making it super easy to get in and out without any fuss. The garden and hot tub area felt private, which we appreciated. The log fire had plenty of kindling and the WiFi and smart TV worked perfectly - rare in lodges, so that was a bonus. Were already planning to come back and weve recommended it to friends. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We booked a four-night weekend stay at the Berkeley Elite Spa lodge through Hoseasons and overall, it was a pretty lovely getaway. Checking in was super smooth thanks to the key safe - no fuss at all, which we really appreciated after a long drive. The welcome pack was thoughtful, with a glass of apple juice, some treats for the dogs and handy info about local vets and shops. The lodge itself was beautifully decorated, spacious and kept cosy thanks to the underfloor heating and log burner. The hot tub was a real highlight, especially since the site isnt brightly lit at night, so we could sit in the hot tub and stargaze, with the peaceful stream nearby adding to the relaxing vibe. The site was quiet, perfect for unwinding and a good base to explore the Malvern Hills, Ross on Wye and Ledbury - all worth the visit. We also tried China Boy Jo in Ross on Wye on the recommendation and it was absolutely delicious. The WiFi was surprisingly good and the smart TV was a bonus; we brought our fire stick and had no buffering issues like in previous places. Only a couple of minor things - the oven was a bit tricky to figure out without instructions and if you have a dog, just be aware the area behind the lodge isnt fully secure, so your furry friends might run off. Still, we wouldnt hesitate to recommend this place; it gave us the relaxing break we were after. Definitely a spot wed visit again!

We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed the peaceful vibe. The lodge was spotless, spacious and had all the essentials. It wouldve been handy to have clearer instructions for the appliances, but Sharon was super helpful and sorted us out quickly. Perfect spot for a quiet getaway - were already planning to come back!

We had a fantastic stay! The lodge was spotless, really spacious and had everything we needed. The beds were super comfy and we appreciated the privacy and outdoor furniture. It was great to park right outside. Loved the full-sized toiletries and the little touches like apple juice and dishwashers tablets. Definitely coming back!

We really enjoyed our stay! The kitchen was such a pleasure to cook in and the local shops and pubs had a lovely vibe. Fresh eggs from the house up the lane was a bonus. Everything in the lodge was spotless when we arrived and the hot tub was perfect after a long day. Only thing was the noisy bed, but I bet it's been sorted now!

We recently stayed at Ford Farm Lodges mainly because of how close it was to The Royal International Air Tattoo and were really glad we did. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed-spotlessly clean site and lodges that had everything we needed. If we needed anything extra, it was just a quick drive to the shops. The peaceful setting was lovely; in the evenings, all we could hear was the gentle rustling of leaves from squirrels in the trees-so relaxing. Our dog had a fantastic time too, especially with the welcome Bonio (though hes a fussy eater, so he didnt touch it!). Wed definitely recommend this place and wouldnt hesitate to come back. Big thumbs up to Ford Farms for their high standards of cleanliness and friendly service-really well done!

We recently spent a week at Lodge 3 and honestly, it was fantastic. The place was huge, spotless and had everything we could ask for. The peaceful surroundings made it even better. The little touches like the apple juice and jute bag were a lovely surprise. Definitely coming back and recommending it to friends!

We had such a great time here! The scenery is absolutely stunning, perfect for walks with the dog and family. One day, we did a fun treasure hunt and picnic in Ross, then just relaxed and took in the views the next. Four generations all enjoyed it! Lovely spot!

We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It was surprisingly roomy, spotless and had everything we needed. The free WiFi was a lifesaver for planning our days out. Also, loads of helpful leaflets and clear instructions, which made everything so much easier!

Peaceful location in the pretty Gloucestershire countryside. The lodge was well decorated, immaculately clean and everything worked as it should. Toiletries, bin bags, toilet roll and washing up equipment were provided along with tea towels. This is one of the best self catering lodges I have stayed in.
There is one pub in reasonable walking distance where we had a good meal and this was a good base for us to visit Ross on Wye, WWT Slimbridge, Gloucester, Monmouth and Little Dean Jail.
Martyn
Perfectly situated to enjoy the Welsh Marches and Gloucestershire. Very comfortable lodge in an extremely quiet environment offering perfect and comfortable nights sleep.

An excellent place to stay, Sharon (The Wardon) was very helpful and professional. The lodge we stayed in was clean and of a high standard, I would book a lodge there again in the future, a perfect retreat overall.
Ian
Wow. One big chill out.
Craig
Great Lodge, in a very quiet and relaxing location. The lodge had everything we needed for our weekend away. The lodge was clean and tidy. We had a amazing weekend as a family and was perfectly located for us to visit all the places we planned to visit in the Cotswolds and surrounding area. Could not of asked for more!!
Georgina
Had great time, particularly loved hot tub.
Catherine
Sharon was a fantastic host, she could not have done more for us. The lodges were clean and fairly well equipped. The site was so peaceful and quiet. The cleaners were also fantastic. Can not speak too highly of the staff here. We will definitely be back.

We had a fantastic stay at Ford Farm Lodges (we were in Kilcot Elite Spa 2, at the very end of the site). The lodge and site were immaculately kept. Sharon (the manager) and staff were all so friendly and helpful, with great suggestions on local walks and where to eat. The hot tub was excellent and much needed for aching joints after long walks!
The nearest town, Newent, is two miles away and has a well-stocked Co-Op and Spar. The surrounding area is beautiful, with local walks straight from the lodge possible and the Malvern Hills, Wye Valley (visit Symonds Yat, it's a must!) and the heart of the Forest of Dean all only a few miles away. The only slight disappointment (and in no way related to the lodge owners) was the terrible state of parts of the local footpaths -- overgrown with nettles and/or brambles, broken styles and missing signs were all evident - some paths we simply had to give up on -- shame on the local councils for allowing this to happen! In contrast, the paths on and around the Malvern Hills and Wye valley were excellent.
For eating out, we would recommend the Kilcot Inn (a 1 mile walk from the lodge), Alma Inn, Linton (a pleasant 2 mile walk from the lodge down very quiet country roads, also, walk back along ''The Ridge' for excellent views), The Kings Arms, Newent, and if you fancy excellent Nepalese food, 'The Roadhouse', Gorsley (a 1 1/2 mile walk from the lodge)
We shall certainly be returning to this lodge site! Highly recommend :)
