"This treehouse really is a unique find! Its super clean and minimal, but still has all the fun of glamping. The kitchen is well stocked and the pull-down bed plus stools are so comfy and easy to store away. We loved it!"

"We stayed at this lodge recently and honestly, its even more stunning in person. The entrance gives a real wow moment, much better than the pictures suggest. We did have a couple of minor issues, like resetting the hot tub and turning off the underfloor heating, but everything was sorted smoothly via email instructions. The lodge is well-equipped and though most of the site was closed due to the time of year, we still loved it!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge! It was super cosy and spotlessly clean, with everything we needed for self-catering. The peaceful surroundings made it perfect for relaxing and the facilities were top-notch. We didnt try the restaurant, so cant say much about that. Overall, a lovely, quiet getaway wed recommend!"

"We had such a great stay at this lodge! The place is seriously well-equipped, with loads of gadgets and features that made our trip really comfortable. The views, especially at night with a clear sky, were absolutely stunning - we couldnt get enough of them. The lodge itself is massive and super private; we barely heard a thing from neighbours, which was perfect for relaxing. The only downsides were a slight drain smell in the main bedroom and some flickering lights during the night, which was a bit odd. We knew the hot tub might not be ready on arrival, so no surprises there. We ordered a takeaway one evening and the food was tasty and good value - plenty of it too! Weve reported the minor issues, so hopefully theyll be sorted soon. Theres a cute activity centre nearby with a pub serving lovely food and a small shop for essentials. Overall, wed definitely recommend this place and are already thinking about coming back!"

"We loved the peaceful location, perfect after a long 20-mile hike. The log-fired hot tub was such a treat for sore legs. The Pheasant pub served a cracking Sunday roast-really refreshing countryside escape!"

"We had a lovely stay at this modern lodge. Everything was well thought out and made our break comfortable. The only downside was the hot tub, which took a while to heat up, meaning we missed out on some of that first evening. Still, overall, a great experience!"

"The Straker Lodge was simply incredible, it really exceeded all of our expectations, beautiful accommodation in stunning surroundings. The only thing we could mention was that the spa bath in the bathroom didn't work but this didn't spoil our fabulous weekend at all, we shall be back!"
Lucy - Dec 2014
"The Straker Lodge is like something right out of Gr and Designs. We absolutely loved the lodge, with every kitchen utensil you could possibly imagine, a great hot tub and fantastic modern conveniences. It's brilliant for children. We'll definitely be back next year!"
