"Lodge was lovely, Hot tub great , only thing was it not being to heat on the first night and having such an early check out on the last morning. We were pre warned on this but made the time there feel short"

"Whilst we had a nice stay there were a few things that let it down. Firstly we were told to ring when we arrived at 5pm to check in. I rang two different numbers several times over 10 minutes and no one answered meaning we couldn't even get into the property. We had to ring customer services who were just as confused as us. Thankfully he gave us the gate code and which number we were staying in. Later they day we were then rung about paying a security deposit in the morning but again when we rang in the morning no one answered, they then rang in the evening finally saying they were available so we were having to fit around them. Whilst the man was quite friendly and couldn't understand why we were paying a deposit at 5pm and then leaving at 9am the next day the woman was quite rude and unfriendly.The stay itself was nice bit the first night the hot tub wasn't hot enough to use and the house itself needs a little TLC"

"The cabin we were in was very warm and inviting. The hot tub was the best and its everything that you needed for a break away or a romantic trip. There was no noise from other's even in the day. It was clean, well equipped and a fantastic pleasure to spend the weekend in cant wait to return already booked."

"Nice lodge but with issues, door not closing properly, decking needs attention, hot tub was cracked and sealed and the jets were not working.We spent more money for the luxury but didn't feel this was up to the evermore collections that we usually get."

"Excellent site. Very quiet. Helpful staff.The lodge we stopped in was very spacious and had everything we needed. The hot tub was private and well cover around the edges via a wooden fence. However it was in need of a little bit of TLC. The lock on the main bathroom did not work, the trims on the door were peeling away, there is not rubber seal on the bottom of the shower screen which meant the water came underneath it. All the doors require a little WD40 as they are very creaky and loud. We would have preferred an earlier check in and later check out.That been said, the above did not affect the enjoyability and relaxing state of our stay! I will more than likely return."

"Lovely weekend stay at Ashby Wounds Lodges. Spacious, clean lodge, just a few snags (dishwasher was out of order, a couple of lights in one of the bedrooms didn't work, kitchen blind had come away from the wall), but this didn't spoil our stay at all. Hot tub was perfect temperature mid-evening on our first night. Spa treatments were amazing. Location peaceful, our lodge overlooked the canal which was a bonus. A short drive away from supermarkets, and lots of lovely walks around. Would definitely return."

"Ive just returned from a weekend at the Ashby Woulds Lodges and Spa with my husband, our young baby (10m) and my parents. Our lodge was exactly as described and pictured and we were not disappointed. We had a good communal area with the living room, kitchen and dining area being the hub for us. We also had a nice barbecue area outside, as well as a private decking and a (clean!) hot tub. What we really enjoyed was how quiet it was - we were in the lodge right next to reception with the car park so worried about noise a bit but it was very peaceful. The bedrooms and bathroom were pretty basic but exactly as pictured so it was what we were expecting! The staff were absolutely incredible! I accidentally booked the wrong arrival date and they were so wonderful sorting this out for us. We also had trouble working the oven and they had somebody round in ten minutes to have a look and help us. They really were lovely! We were staying for a wedding and had a group of friends staying in another lodge too. My advice when booking is to check the pictures as they are very accurate - some have deckings with a view of the water, some dont have outdoor hot tubs etc. Overall we were happy with our stay at the lodge!"

"Accommodation is tired and needs refreshed.We were told on arrival that the hottub had developed a leak that afternoon, and Hosaesons just told the site that only alternative was to cancel the holiday or switch off the hottub, but they refuse to ruin someone's holiday, as the hottub is usable just needing top up as required, they are letting us stay and they will top it up each morning. I think this is the story that is given to every new arrival at Lodge number 3.Considering we paid nearly £700 for 7 nights in a lodge described as Deluxe, we had:The two bathrooms have patches of mould. The decking is rotting to the point of being unsafe. When it rains, decking is a slip hazard.The main bathroom shower screen is missing the seal between the bath so the floor floodsThe other shower has poor pressure.The walls have numerous holes and scrapes.The couch is stained.The carpet is worn and coming away at the joins.The dishes were dirty on arrival, we used the dishwasher which doesn't wash properly, resulting in having to hand wash all week. The washing machine leaves a distinct smell, even after buying and using a washing machine cleaner."

"We had a lovely break the lodge was spotlessly clean lovely soft towels provided, plenty of wardrobe space in both rooms. The beds were comfy. Hot tub checked and cleaned each day. My only negative is the kitchen knives were very blunt so struggled to even slice a tomato but that's the only negative I could state we had a lovely time and would definitely go back again."

"This is our second stay at Ashby woulds and we would stay again. The local area is nice with things to do- it’s close enough to town for takeaways or dinner out and the lodges are in a nice private gated park which made us feel safe. It’s very laid back and quiet and the hot tub is lovely!"
