A hillside family theme park on the edge of the Peak District, with big views and rides for younger children.

8 reviews from guests who stayed at Ramshorn Estate Woodland Lodges
We had a brilliant family holiday in the Stanton Lodge. 9 adults + dog. The lodge is very spacious with plenty if seating & equipment for the full capacity of people, we were short of nothing. . There is a lovely village pub/restaurant about 15 minutes walk down road. A car is really necessary to explore the surrounding area.
We would definitely like to return in the future.
Great little lodge we booked this Monday to Friday for 8 of us two families and there was plenty of room and toliets for us all to have our own space. Close to Alton towers if you want to go to theme park but not pay expensive price for accomodation near, also found a little animal farm not too far either for the kids. Would definitely consider coming again, one downside was the flies that came when we were in hot tub, but we didn't let that bother us and still enjoyed the whole experience
The family and I had a great time in the Weaver lodge. Everything was well stocked and clean and tidy. The hot tub was well used and much appreciated. It was a lovely sight for a holiday and I would recommend it to others. I would suggest that there is either another airer or lots more pegs on which to hang wet towels and swimming things when the weather is cold or damp. Thank you.
Wonderful stay in stunning location. The birds song was fantastic. Could barely hear or see any other guests. Really well laid out and had more than we could have wished for in terms of pans, dishes and crockery.
Amazing lodge, location, hot tub. Went on a hen party with 10 other Girls. We had the best time.
Communication is to a very high standard from staff. Loved it and will definitely be returning
Beautiful Lodge, lovely environment.
Lovely family break. Well equipped and beautifully clean and well presented. Would recommend
Great family break. Good location and everyone loved it.
