"Everything you want for a break away. Complimentary tea, coffee milk and jam and marmalade and even a bottle wine plus washing up liquid in case you have forgot. A personal welcome by Linsey who was very friendly was a nice touch"

"I felt for 2 days 3 nights it was a little overpriced, the accommodation was comfortable the beds, pillows bed covers were pleasant, there was a hairdryer, iron and ironing board available the facilities were excellent, the sofas were comfortable with some light stains, the accommodation on the whole was very comfortable and clean, however I found a dirty sock behind the curtain in the master bedroom and a packet of sweets under the bed in the twin room, therefore a little more though when cleaning."

"A wonderful stay. The host Lindsy was most helpful. Place was clean, tidy and perfect for our fury friends as they had their very own garden to play in while we chilled in the hot tub with fizz ????. Would 100 percent recommend and will be coming back in the new year."

"Another great week. Love this place and Ive reviewed a few times now. The perfect peaceful and out of the way retreat which suits me and my usually busy lifestyle. Lovely lodge, immaculately maintained site and friendly staff. Thanks to Vito, Lindsey and all the staff who really do go above and beyond to ensure its a great getaway."

"I can't recommend this beautiful cabin highly enough. It is absolutely spotless and the attention to detail is off the scale, it's immaculate. Vito has thought of everything you could possibly need and we have stayed in a lot of places, this was one of, if not the best ever!! Our little holiday was perfect, we had the privacy we desire in our own fenced garden and the hot tub was amazing and again cleaned and maintained to such a high standard. The beds were comfortable, the heated flooring was fab, the bathrooms are gleaming and the living room felt cosy, just like home. We had a wonderful few days exploring the Cotswolds and had delicious meals at both the local pubs which are a walking distance away, one being by the river which was stunning. Do not hesitate to book here. We loved it and will definitely be returning."

"Nice, comfortable lodges in an ideal location for exploring the Cotswold villages and Stratford on Avon.Didnt use the hot tub as it rained for most of our stay.Crockery and utensils supplied are basic. If you are likely to need anything out of the ordinary, take it with you.Some individual jams and honey pots supplied but questionable how long they have been there, as the honey was completely crystallised and solid(runny honey, according to the label).Only heard any noise from the neighbouring haulage yard, if we were outdoors and even then it was minor.Sadly, I have to agree with the previous reviews regarding cleanliness. We found long dark hairs everywhere-including stuck to the wall!The bed sheets were covered with hairs and fluff, to the extent that I had to wash the ones on my childs bed so that they would sleep in them - I never do washing on holiday!We had to put all of the cutlery and crockery through the dishwasher before using it- egg stuck to cutlery, ketchup on plates, tea on mugs- again, I have never had to do this in over 15 years of visiting lodges.The bathrooms were very mouldy on the grouting- so easy to remove but just left to build up. The extractor fan was filthy, there were cobwebs in the bathroom on arrival and stains on the wall next to the toilet (yuk!).None of us felt clean the entire time we stayed and couldnt wait to get home to shower in a clean bathroom.Im not picky and can usually excuse the odd slip up but there was too much evidence of lack of attention to cleaning in these lodges.A word of warning- the lodges are quite close to one another and the TV in our bedroom came on when we were not in the room, presumably because someone in a neighbouring lodge had turned their TV on. Another evening, someone was trying to Airplay to the Lounge TV and tried about 10 times, before giving up. Again, nobody in our Lodge was called Mia or on an iPad.We wouldnt return, solely due to the cleanliness issues."

"What a find! We will be coming back. The lodge was very spacious and clean. Lovely touches too. We came on Mothers Day weekend there was a chocolate heart on the bed ?? plus a bottle fizz in the fridge. Perfect to get straight in the tub. Hottub was clean and hot as we arrived. Plastic wine glasses available too. Perfect getaway. Highly recommend."

"I dont normally leave reviews but I was very very pleased with our stay. The accommodation was huge, beautifully decorated, clean throughout. It was the little extra touches that made it super special. A bottle of Prosecco in the fridge on arrival, plus still and sparkling water. Teas, coffees and condiments such as jam like you would find in a hotel. A dishwasher and machine tablet supplied, hand wash in the bathrooms, washing up liquid, enough toilet roll for the stay, tin foil for baking, salt and pepper pots, cooking oil. These little extras made it a home from home. We usually stay in a caravan and this is our first lodge holiday. We would usually need to think of all of these things if we wanted them. Staff were polite, friendly and helpful. The hot tub was a hit with the whole family. We would definitely love to stay again."

"Our third stay here. Lovely location. Lindsay the manager is so helpful, and on site. Nothing is to much hassle. Great size garden for the dog. Local walks. Pub down the road. The lodge itself is to a high standard and well equipped for all your needs."
Emma - Feb 2024
"Beautiful Lodge with everything you need. Clean and spacious very modern with underfloor heating. Nice bottle of complimentary fizz which we enjoyed in the powerful hot tub. The dog loved it. He was provided with bowls (and a few treats!) poop bags a lovely blanket and the grassed garden was large and very secure. The kitchen facilities were very modern and everything was spotless. Linsey on site was so helpful and met us on arrival and departure. It was nice to have the personal contact rather than be given codes and never see anyone. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Fabulous"

"The best lodge we have booked and also the best facilities too. Private gated area so lodges are secure and ideal for families or couples looking for some peace and relaxation. We booked the Oxford for 6 people although there was only 3 of us of one which was my 20 month old son so he could have space to run around in the lodge. Decor was top notch and honestly couldn't fault it. Lindsey was so polite and down to earth its like we have known her for years. Lindsey was always on hand if you ever needed her which we didn't thankfully. Our lodge had all the cutlery you would need and pans, barbecue bits. And the corner shop has everything as well which is a 10 minute walk. This lodge is a must and it was very clean and everything worked perfectly for us and we loved it. We alrwsdy booked it again and the garden is beautiful and everything on the site was maintained really well."

"Brilliant & cosy cottage far enough out the way to be secluded but close enough to local amenities. Amazing hotub & bathroom with underfloor heating throughout tops it off. The owners, Rob & Sharon are wonderful! (And of course Bonnie) Will definitely be coming back again for longer ASAP!!"
Christopher - Apr 2025
"Beautiful cottage with hot tub and log burner. lovely hosts, peaceful, perfect for our mini break. Hope to return for longer soon!"
Emma - Apr 2025
"Really well equipped house, lovely and warm too which was so nice on a rainy December day! Bath was just lovely and a nice big shower! The property is under a flight path - this did not disturb us at all! Dont be put off! A great location for dogs who hate fireworks as it's in the middle of nowhere. Really beautiful, well converted property. Thank you! "
Phoebe - Apr 2025
"It was everything we wanted for our weekend away and we loved staying here. We'll definitely be back! Our pups absolutely loved the underfloor heating and had so much fun in the garden. In fact Luna came home with a strained tail and according to the vet it was because she was wagging it so much over the weekend!! Very happy pups and hoomans!"
Andrew - Apr 2025

"Absolutely loved how well maintained and equipped this cottage is. Plenty of dog walks right on the doorstep. Very friendly host, they were so efficient and communication was excellent. We enjoyed meeting the animals on the farm and the very curious pig penelope. Perfect escape for us and the doggos. Will definitely be back, brilliant value!! Highly recommend. "
