First off the lodge is in the most amazing location, particularly if you have a dog, we found a new walk to explore directly from the lodge every day. We also had a day at Alton towers which was only 30mins away. Bakewell and Buxton around 45mins. Be prepared if there is wet weather the road up to the lodge does get muddy. Plenty of cafes and a pub within walking distance. The enclosed garden was also appreciated with having a dog. The lodge itself has bags of potential but we found elements of the maintenance a bit lacking (hot tub cover/sofas/crockery/bathrooms) in some areas but then other areas (hot tub/tv/wi fi) were super modern. Overall a lovely stay in a peaceful location

Honestly, we had a really nice time at the lodge. The location is fantastic, especially if youve got a dog - we found a lovely new walk right from the door every day. Its also pretty handy for trips to Alton Towers, just half an hour away and Bakewell and Buxton are about 45 minutes. Do watch out for the muddy road if the weathers been wet - it can get a bit slippy. There are plenty of cafes and a pub nearby, so no shortage of places to grab a bite. We also appreciated the enclosed garden for our dogs safety. The lodge has loads of potential, but some things could do with a bit of TLC, like the sofas, crockery and bathrooms. But other bits, like the hot tub, TV and Wi-Fi, were really modern and worked well. Overall, a lovely peaceful stay!

We had a lovely stay! The lodge was spotless and well-kept, with plenty of amenities. The hot tub was a real highlight and sitting outside listening to the birds was so relaxing.

We had a really lovely stay at this lodge, set in such a peaceful spot. Watching all the different birds flock to the feeder was a real treat for us. The place was spotless and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need - it felt very homely. We also appreciated the three towels per person and the hand towels in each shower. My only tiny gripe is that in-shower non-slip mats wouldve been a good idea, especially since one of us is 86. But all in all, a great place to unwind!

We had a lovely stay overall. The bed was super comfy and we slept really well. A few dishes were a bit sticky, but nothing major since the dishwasher and tablets worked perfectly. Maybe a quick check for future guests could help, but no big deal really.

We had such a lovely weekend at Heronsview recently, its our second visit and weve already booked for next February. The lodge really does feel like a cosy, authentic Norwegian retreat, perfect for winter stays. The new hot tub is a real highlight - it comfortably fits six and the music and lighting add a special touch. The fairy lights that turn on after dark create such a nice atmosphere, we really loved that. Although the lodge is dog-friendly, we decided not to bring ours this time, but the garden is big and secure, ideal for small or medium dogs. Theres also a pretty meadow right outside that our two dogs will enjoy next time. Matt and Mark, the owners, are so welcoming and always happy to help - theyre easy to get hold of if you need anything. Overall, we had a fantastic family weekend and are already looking forward to coming back!

Weve stayed at Watersview a few times now, so we knew what to expect about the site - its really lovely and peaceful. We decided to try Watersview again even though some reviews mentioned it needing a bit of an update; honestly, we were quite happy with it! The inside of the lodges is quite cosy, with lots of wood and modern bathrooms and kitchens. That said, theres no wifi and the fire was broken when we visited, so that was a bit of a letdown. The decking could also do with a stain. A tip: bring a hairdryer and extra towels if youre using the hot tub. We enjoyed our stay anyway!

We had such a great time at Meadow View Lodge! The place was super tidy and had everything we needed for a fun girls' weekend. The hot tub was perfect and those little touches like sweets, biscuits and wine made it even more special. Cant wait to come back next year!

Weve stayed here three times now and its always a pleasure. The lodge is cosy and well-equipped and the hot tub is just the cherry on top. Plus, its a lovely walk to Rudyard Lake. Weve also enjoyed trips to Alton Towers and Drayton Manor - such good days out!

We've visited this place twice now and honestly, its really quite lovely. The fact that they have a big field is a massive bonus for us since our dog loves running around and fetching his ball. Its a perfect spot if you want to escape the hustle and just relax for a bit. The WiFi works well up here, which is always handy. Plus, a short stroll takes you down to Rudyard Lake - such a peaceful spot! Theres also a shop on-site and weve even ordered takeaway in Leek to be delivered right to the lodges. Well definitely be back!

Weve stayed at Watersview before, so we knew the site was lovely, which helped set our expectations. Since there arent any photos online, we took a bit of a gamble with Watersview, especially after reading some reviews saying it needed updating. Luckily, we were quite pleased with what we found - it was fine for us. The lodges have a cosy feel with lots of wood and the modern bathrooms and kitchens are a plus. A few things to note: no wifi, the indoor fire was broken and the extractor fan above the hob wasnt working. The decking could do with a fresh stain. Oh and bring a hairdryer and extra towels if youre using the hot tub - just a heads up!
