Ford Farm Lodges - Reviews

we have just booked to stay at the Kilcot vip lodge for chrsitmas this year 2012 and am really excited for our stay, we have stayed in a log cabin with hot tub earlier in the year and cannot wait.

A good all round lodge, no complaints

The lodges were beautiful and very clean. We had everything we needed and clear instructions were put in the welcome package.

The lodge was fully equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday. It even had a dishwasher and washing machine with a line and pegs, it's the little details and items you generally wouldn't think about

The accommodation is modern, clean and well presented. My lodge also had a hot tub, which was great to use after a day visiting the local area. The kitchen is well equipped but there is very little space to place anything you bring with you that doesn't go in the fridge. The bedroom and bathroom are nice rooms.

Real home from home in a lovely quiet rural location. Friendly and helpful staff who go that extra mile to ensure you have a memorable stay. Lodges are well equipped, excellent quality furniture, fittings and linen. Toiletries are provided which smell heavenly and are full sized bottles too none of these little sample bottles which you try to ration through your stay! Would highly recommend...

The lodge was brilliant. The furniture was comfortable, as was the best. The place was clean and tidy on arrival and the Apple Juice which was left, from a farm in the area was lovely and a great touch. The hot tub was great and was tested twice a day to ensure the water cleanliness was good, which is great to see happening.

The perfect place for a perfect peaceful escape. Would highly recommend. Picturesque beauty spot taking you away from the everyday hustle and bustle, a proper little haven. Information from the proprietors pre arrival was first class, would highly recommend these lodges you will not be disappointed.

At first glance everything was presented well but only closer inspection it seems the lodge hasnt had a deep clean in a while. Limescale stains on the kitchen sink/tap, mould in the shower as well as orange water marks around the outside of the shower. The sink in the bathroom didnt drain well & when I unscrewed the plug to see what was blocking it was clear this had never been cleaned. Lots of black slime coating the entire drain hole and underside of the plug.The bed was extremely uncomfortable, loud and creaky when you moved and the mattress felt like stone. The hot tub however was kept very clean and outside areas well presented. There was enough cutlery & glassware and cooking areas/fridge were clean. Smart TV in the living room was also a bonus for those rainy days.

Very spacious and comfortable, a home away from home

We had an amazing stay! The cottage was cosy and well looked after, with loads of great walks just outside. The host was super friendly and easy to get in touch with. Meeting the farm animals, especially Penelope the pig, was a highlight. Perfect for us and the doggos. Definitely coming back, such good value! Highly recommend.

First time we been to Horseason we was very impressed with the lodge and the Surroundings

The size is quite adequate for two people. Next time we might try one of the larger lodges with a little more space.

The lodge was great, plenty of space around the lodge and only 10 lodges in total at the farm which meant it really felt like you was away from everything. The beds were really comfortable and we had everything we could have possibly needed. The internet was really great too which was an added bonus for our son!

Lovely lodge dog friendly but you wouldn't know there had been a dog there. So clean and fresh. A biscuits and dog towel provided ????

We had a fantastic stay! The cottage was spotless and really well stocked. Loved the easy access to dog walks nearby - perfect for our furry friends. The host was super friendly and quick to respond. Meeting the farm animals, especially curious Penelope the pig, was a real highlight. Were already planning to return. Great value for money!

Great stay! The lodge was spotless, comfy bed and the hot tub worked perfectly.

We had a lovely stay! The place was super peaceful, perfect for unwinding and great for dogs too.

Amazing Lodge, clean, well equipped, lovely bed, hot tub clean and hot!

Really enjoyed it, super relaxing and fun.

Had a great time really chilled out

We had such a relaxing stay at this peaceful place. The hot tub was a real highlight and the house had everything we needed. Lovely hosts too. Perfect if you're after some quiet time away from the hustle!

We had a fantastic Christmas escape! The lodges were spotless, super cosy and had everything we needed. Definitely a place wed come back to in the summer! Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay over Christmas! Lodges were comfortable, very clean and cosy. They include everything you need for your stay. Highly recommend!!! Would deffo return in the summer

Dymock Spa is a lovely self contained, clean and comfortable relaxing lodge. It has everything you need if you want to eat in, the lounge and bedroom were both comfortable and it was spotless on arrival.

We stayed at Dymock Spa and honestly, its a gem! The place is spotless, super comfy and perfect if you just want to relax. Everything you need for a cosy night in is right there. Would definitely return!

We had a lovely time during our stay! Sharon and Robert really went out of their way to make us feel at home, which was much appreciated. The place was spotlessly clean, comfy and perfect for Archie with good security. The location was just right, with plenty of scenic walks and charming villages like Thaxted nearby. Honestly, it was just what we needed to unwind and recharge our batteries. Definitely recommend!

We stayed at this lovely cottage and loved the peaceful setting away from busy areas. The hot tub was fantastic and the owners were so helpful without being pushy. Perfect!

Such a lovely spot, really relaxing stay, can't wait to return!

We had a really lovely time at Berkley Elite Spa. The lodge was spotless and really modern, with a clever layout that made everything feel cosy yet spacious. It was warm and welcoming when we arrived, which was great after a long journey. The kitchen had all the appliances we could ask for, plus some handy complimentary bits and bobs and there were even board games for a bit of fun. The hot tub was spotless and set into the decking, making it super easy to get in and out without any fuss. The garden and hot tub area felt private, which we appreciated. The log fire had plenty of kindling and the WiFi and smart TV worked perfectly - rare in lodges, so that was a bonus. Were already planning to come back and weve recommended it to friends. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Berkley Elite Spa was lovely. The lodge itself was spotless, modern and well planned out. Lovely and warm on arrival. You've got everything you need including complimentary items and even some board games. The hot tub was clean and set into the decking making it easier to get in and out of. All the appliances you could need. The rear garden area and hot tub are private which is always nicer. Plenty of kindling provided for the log fire. Smart TV and wifi for those that use it work perfectly which is normally not the case in lodges. Overall we were very impressed and have recommended it to others. Definitely somewhere we will return to. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Peaceful location in the pretty Gloucestershire countryside. The lodge was well decorated, immaculately clean and everything worked as it should. Toiletries, bin bags, toilet roll and washing up equipment were provided along with tea towels. This is one of the best self catering lodges I have stayed in.

There is one pub in reasonable walking distance where we had a good meal and this was a good base for us to visit Ross on Wye, WWT Slimbridge, Gloucester, Monmouth and Little Dean Jail.

Perfectly situated to enjoy the Welsh Marches and Gloucestershire. Very comfortable lodge in an extremely quiet environment offering perfect and comfortable nights sleep.

An excellent place to stay, Sharon (The Wardon) was very helpful and professional. The lodge we stayed in was clean and of a high standard, I would book a lodge there again in the future, a perfect retreat overall.

Wow. One big chill out.

Great Lodge, in a very quiet and relaxing location. The lodge had everything we needed for our weekend away. The lodge was clean and tidy. We had a amazing weekend as a family and was perfectly located for us to visit all the places we planned to visit in the Cotswolds and surrounding area. Could not of asked for more!!

Had great time, particularly loved hot tub.

Sharon was a fantastic host, she could not have done more for us. The lodges were clean and fairly well equipped. The site was so peaceful and quiet. The cleaners were also fantastic. Can not speak too highly of the staff here. We will definitely be back.

We had a fantastic stay at Ford Farm Lodges (we were in Kilcot Elite Spa 2, at the very end of the site). The lodge and site were immaculately kept. Sharon (the manager) and staff were all so friendly and helpful, with great suggestions on local walks and where to eat. The hot tub was excellent and much needed for aching joints after long walks!

The nearest town, Newent, is two miles away and has a well-stocked Co-Op and Spar. The surrounding area is beautiful, with local walks straight from the lodge possible and the Malvern Hills, Wye Valley (visit Symonds Yat, it's a must!) and the heart of the Forest of Dean all only a few miles away. The only slight disappointment (and in no way related to the lodge owners) was the terrible state of parts of the local footpaths -- overgrown with nettles and/or brambles, broken styles and missing signs were all evident - some paths we simply had to give up on -- shame on the local councils for allowing this to happen! In contrast, the paths on and around the Malvern Hills and Wye valley were excellent.

For eating out, we would recommend the Kilcot Inn (a 1 mile walk from the lodge), Alma Inn, Linton (a pleasant 2 mile walk from the lodge down very quiet country roads, also, walk back along ''The Ridge' for excellent views), The Kings Arms, Newent, and if you fancy excellent Nepalese food, 'The Roadhouse', Gorsley (a 1 1/2 mile walk from the lodge)

We shall certainly be returning to this lodge site! Highly recommend :)

I have stayed in a lot of lodges and this one was by far the best. Immaculate inside and spacious and clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful went the Extra mile to help us settle in

A wonderful and enjoyable stay.Sharon was just so welcoming.Peace and tranquility in a comfortable, clean modern lodge.Thank you for being so kind and helpful to us (and the dog) making our stay " Just Perfect".

Spacious, clean lodge in a beautiful quiet location.

Had a fantastic time every think you need for a getaway

Fabulous lodge, was extremely clean and exactly as described. Lovely little park and immaculate grounds. Would definately use again.
