We had a fantastic stay! The house was spotless, super comfy, well stocked and the hot tub was brilliant!

Emma, Staines
Date of stay: 7th April 2025

We had a lovely autumn weekend away here. The place was really well-kept and the welcome basket was a nice touch. The hot tub was a definite highlight - nothing beats watching the sunrise or stars from it. Its in a private spot, which made it feel even more special and the staff checked in twice a day to make sure everything was perfect. They were genuinely helpful and knew lots about the area, giving us some top tips for dining and sights. It was so relaxing and romantic, weve already booked for next year. Cant wait to come back!

Emily, Derby
Date of stay: 22nd March 2025

We had a warm welcome and appreciated the thoughtful welcome pack. The place was spotless throughout, which was lovely. The master bedroom was quite spacious, though the second one felt a bit cosy. The step between the kitchen and lounge could be tricky, especially with elderly guests, but lighting helps. The kitchen and breakfast bar are fantastic for gatherings!

Alexandra, London
Date of stay: 5th March 2025

Absolutely loved our stay! The lodge looks even better in person and those adorable baby rabbits in the garden made our mornings extra special. The hot tub was a real treat!

Jamie, Bedford
Date of stay: 27th February 2025

Honestly, this was one of the best holidays we've ever had! The lodge is huge and really sunny-perfect for relaxing. We spent most afternoons in the hot tub outside, enjoying the fresh air and some good food al fresco. The location is spot on, close enough to supermarkets for self-catering but also within walking distance to some lovely pubs if you fancy a night out. Wayne and Nicky were super helpful throughout. Were already planning to come back!
