After the dissolution it was converted into a country house, and the abbey remains are built into part of a 17th century and later mansion.

Emma, Wolverhampton
Date of stay: 9th March 2025

We stayed from Monday to Friday and honestly, I was a bit nervous after reading some reviews. But the reception team was so friendly and helpful, especially when I wanted to switch from log heating to central heating. The cabin was spotless and had a stunning view. Definitely recommend and well be coming back for sure! Thanks a lot!

Emma, Manchester
Date of stay: 6th February 2025

We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. The beds were super cosy and the shower was fantastic! Plenty of space for everyone. Only downside was the noisy pipes at night, so we switched off the boiler.

Emily, Wigan
Date of stay: 26th January 2025

We had such a lovely time! The place is really relaxing and there was loads for the kids-badminton, table tennis, pool, you name it. Only gripe was the check-in time at 5pm, felt a bit late. Apart from that, were definitely coming back soon! Would recommend to everyone.

Claire, Leicestershire
Date of stay: 22nd January 2025

We loved our stay! The forest setting was so peaceful and there was plenty to keep us busy. Highly recommend!
