  My partner and I stay in different lodges around the UK four or five times a year and never usually go back to the same location.

  In this instance however, we saw that Callow Lodge 2 (which we had booked through Sykes Cottages in September 2016) was available. As we had enjoyed that lodge and the location facilities, we booked it again. Really looking forward to the spacious lodge and good sized hot tub, we checked in. We new where the lodge was situated on site and proceeded to its location to find another family in occupation. It was then we realised we had been given the keys to Callow 22, not Callow 2. This lodge, although having all the same internal amenities, was smaller in floor space, had a smaller hot tub and was situated on the main road to the rest of the lodges in that area (Unlike Callow 2, which was the last lodge on a road to the maintance yard and therefore rarely used). When I complained to reception, I was told that all the other lodges were full, therefore reluctantly, had to accept this lodge. Do not get me wrong, the lodge was as good as Callow 2, but smaller than we were expecting. Within two days we were asked to call into reception where the staff admitted it had been an administrative error on their part. As compensation they offered us a £50 cash back and a £50 voucher for the next time we stop with them (As stated above, we never usually go back to the same place so will not be using that). The site is adult only, has lodge and tourer facilities, has a good onsite restaurant and the grounds are kept immaculate.There are also good fishing ponds within the site that hold large fish. The staff were always very friendly and obliging. I would have no hesitation in recommending this location to others,

  Ive waited a few weeks before leaving a review as I wanted to reflect for a while.

  The park itself was beautifully kept, a credit to the grounds keeping team! It was also very quiet on an evening. I don't agree with description of the lodge as "outstanding" it maybe was several years ago. The pictures on sykes website advertising this lodge are old, it look's more luxurious in pictures, as to reality. I actually thought I'd walked in the wrong lodge, and had to go back outside and check the number on the fence to see if I had the right lodge, the sofas and dining table are not the same as the pictures! Instead there is two old leather sofas, and the dining table and chairs are totally different, and really old and tired imediately making it feel less luxurious. There is a lot of missing information on sykes website about this property and the rules etc. I'd advise checking with park before booking. I was most annoyed that I was told that if I wanted any friends or family to visit me during my stay it was £10 per visitor. I booked a lodge for 3 people and there was only me and the dog! They allow visitors free if there spending money in the bar/restaurant no problem! I've stayed in a lot of these lodges over the years and for value for money Its disappointing. I wouldn't stay in this lodge again nor would I use sykes again. There is a lot of road noise like the other reviews state, it didn't bother me though. The hot tub was nice to use but even that was old and tired. To top it off sykes refused my top cashback claim even though I've followed the procedures ...shame on you sykes !!!

  This was the first time we had stopped at Beaconsfield Farm Holiday Park.

  On arrival first impressions were good. Well maintained areas around the Lodges and Caravans. Two good sized fishing lakes and the caravans segregated from the lodges. Booking in was quick, easy and we were directed to our lodge in no time at all. Being able to park next to your lodge is a bonus as in other lodge locations we have stayed at, you left the car at the entrance. Callow Lodge 2 was clean, spacious and comfortable with two double bedrooms. The hot tub was secluded and private. I had booked a two bedroom lodge with the intention of my Brother and Sister in Law staying for two nights on their way down from Scotland to London. However, I was told this was not allowed unless I paid an additional fee. It was also pointed out that, although their were two double bedrooms, Sykes cottages advertised it for three people, when clearly the lodge was set up for four. Another aspect of the booking that was not pointed out by Sykes Cottages, were the number of rules you had to adhere too. No vehicles with commercial markings allowed on site. Check in had to be no later than 7pm. Any guests had to be booked in at £10 per person per visit. Only allowed to visit between 10am and 9pm. Visitors cars were to be left at the entrance. No use of the Hot Tub after dusk. Although these rules did not detract from an enjoyable holiday, I feel that Sykes Cottages should have notified us prior to arrival.

  We only stayed a few nights but it was absolutely perfect and more than we could've asked for!

  It is such a tranquil and quaint place! The owners are so thoughtful and really provided us with everything- even a bottle of milk in the fridge and a bottle of Asti! We took our 2 dogs, both Pods have their own completely secure garden area, we were even provided with a dog shower, shampoo and towels in the shed! They loved being able to be outside. There is a gate to a public footpath on site and there are also plenty of beautiful places locally to walk and explore, we recommend Little Lyth, Mousecroft Woodland and Earl's Hill Nature Reserve- if you fancy a hike do this last one and walk right to the peak, stunning views from there! We couldn't recommend this place enough! There is a local pub on the same road and places to eat and shops just 10 mins down the road. We will definitely be back and stay for longer!! Thank you so much!! Megan, Liam and pooches Finley and Louie x

  It was great for a short relaxing break.

  We would definitely come back. The dogs loved the garden and the walks close by. We stayed in Cherry Pod 2. Next time we would probably stay in Cherry Pod only for the reason the garden was to the front of the pod so we would be able to see the dogs from the decked area. It was great having a gas BBQ which we made full use of. The owner was extremely hospitable and the pod had everything you could need. It was beautifully furnished and very clean. The complimentary wine and biscuits was a lovely touch. Not a lot to do locally unless you go out in the car but we just wanted a relaxing break with the dogs so it was perfect. We were disappointed that the local pub didn’t open till 5 as we would have gone for a couple of drinks in the afternoon just to break up the day but overall it was a perfect short stay. Highly recommend.
