Visitor Reviews of High Lodge

Leanne Read
We spent a very nice weekend at High Lodge and came home feeling very relaxed. The site is small and peaceful and at times we felt like the only ones there. Our lodge was really stylish with a nice balcony area where we could sit out and enjoy the views. My husband enjoyed the golf course too.

We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. The view of the lake was stunning and made our trip special. The only small gripe was theres no proper spot to hang a toilet bag or place shower gel and flannels in the shower. Still, were definitely coming back and hoping for the same lodge!

The lodge was absolutely lovely, with stunning views over the lake. Not sure why the fishing spots are placed where they are, but we didnt bother since we dont fish!

We had such a lovely stay! The lodge was spotlessly clean and had modern touches that made everything feel fresh. The bed was super comfy with plenty of pillows and those homemade treats from the local bakery were a real highlight. Great value too!

Emma, Market Harborough
Date of stay: 21st February 2020
The beds were super comfy, honestly! We loved the fluffy towels too. Only thing is, we couldve used more crockery - five plates just isnt enough for a family of four. Nice touch with the hand wash though, much appreciated!
Oliver, Flitwick Beds
Date of stay: 14th February 2020
We had a lovely holiday break; the place is peaceful after hours, though shooting noise can be a bit much sometimes. Still, worth it!

We totally enjoyed our stay at high lodge it was peaceful and relaxing . We are planning to go again. Hopefully soon
Ellie
We were a party of 6 ladies celebrating a 60th Birthday. The setting of our Lodge was wonderful, peaceful and with lots of wildlife including some cheeky hares, ducks and other birds. We didn’t use any of the facilities. The restaurant had limited opening times which didn’t suit us. Something tripped our power and we had to call out of hours and they were exceptionally helpful. Great communications and someone came to check too. Lovely hot tub which seemed to work better after the electrical issue! Comfortable beds, good outdoor table and seating and the kitchen was equipped sufficiently to cook basic meals. The dishwasher was a little unpredictable. The check in was very limited - open from 4.00pm to 5.00pm which when travelling a distance we felt was a little unreasonable. Email details were sent on how to access as we were still travelling at 5.00pm. It did feel a little remote and you need a car to get anywhere really. However if you want a break where you stay on site, participate in High Lodge activities such as the target sports and fishing then it would suit you well. Overall we enjoyed our weekend break and would recommend.
Jean
Lovely peaceful setting, apart from clay shooting, but I expected that.. cafe was clean and pleasant with lovely staff, both there and on reception. I did have a broken window latch, which I reported, but nothing done about it. Cabin could be easily accessed while I was away. A bit of concern for me. I am what you’d call a person with walking difficulties, but I am able to climb a few steps and walk short distances over gravel paths. I’m not sure if you cater for wheelchair/mobility scooter users but the gravel could be very difficult. Perhaps a couple of hard surface disability parking spaces outside reception would be useful, therefore enabling easy access to the cafe etc.. do you even have any cabins accessible for wheelchairs? It would be good if you have , because the cabins are roomy enough inside. A wet room shower room would probably be needed. I loved the way the cabins all overlooked the lake, without looking into each other’s accommodation.
Raymond
A most enjoyable and relaxing stay would thoroughly recommend this site
Evelyn
