Emma, Reading
Date of stay: 8th May 2025

We genuinely loved our time at Levels View! The house truly exceeded our expectations-so clean and the beds were super comfy. We made good use of the hot tub every evening, perfect to unwind. The location was just what we wanted-peaceful and quiet, yet we went out every day. Only minor gripe was the absence of a wardrobe in the double bedroom, so we had to move some drawers around. Also, we brought a mop for the bathroom and toilet brushes for a couple of the bathrooms. Overall, a lovely stay!

We had such a fantastic girls weekend here! The lodge was absolutely lovely and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind. The onsite spa facilities were top-notch and honestly, the food was incredible - probably the best roast weve ever tasted. We dont usually revisit places, but this ones definitely an exception. Cant wait to return!
