What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a great week.

  The lodge was lovely with fabulous bathrooms ( showers were marvellous). Beds were really comfortable. There was plenty of space and it was really warm which was great as we went during Storm Dennis. We were able to take both our dogs and the walks from the lodge were excellent. The hot tub was fun and the owners were frequently on site to make sure it was clean and operating properly. Matt and Mark were both very helpful and were on hand when we had queries. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The only thing to watch out for if you have dogs is that the garden is not currently secure and the dogs could access a communal space, which in busier times might have been an issue. There was an outside verandah space which was secure but not suitable for dog toileting. I think the garden is to be made secure in the future. I would recommend the lodge, and the position by the lake was a great spot for a holiday with access to sailing, canoeing and rowing.

  Arrived at the shephards hut , parking space at the rear with a gate to the yard where the hot tub is .

  The yard is not suitable due to size for dog exercise and the field shown in the photos is out of bounds (slightly deceiving photos) Hot tub was great nice and warm the shelter next to it is not suitable to leave clothes as it rains in when the wind blows also the cushion is mouldy. The steps and area leading to the door are dangerous when wet, it's decking so when it rains which it did its like walking on ice Beware! Inside was warm and well equiped, tv with netflix ect we couldn't find a WiFi password for our phones . Bedroom was also nice and warm with a big bath and a noisy wobbly bed but everything was clean . Down sides to this short break was the dangerous decking when wet! And the toilet! Never have I ever come across such a small toilet room you literally could not be in there with the door closed, I stood up from the toilet and bashed my head on the towel rail!

  Me and my partner had a lovely couple of nights here.

  Such a cute little cabin, even got a complimentary bottle of Prosecco in the fridge which I found a lovely add!! The hot tub is absolutely amazing at the end of the day!! The view is amazing to wake up to in the morning too! We live in a city so it was lovely to get away from all the business. We loved that we could bring our puppy with us although We didn’t know there was chickens from the listing but thankfully our dog wasn’t too bad. The only thing I could even say is it stopped us having a lie which would have been nice as we had a couple nights off being woke up by a toddler however it definitely did not ruin our weekend, would definitely recommend staying here, my daughter would have loved it also :)

  The pods and location were lovely.

  It was a great base for going to Alton towers and surrounding area. It was cosy and great for a long weekend. Only downside was the customer service on trying to alter our initial booking due to work commitments. We asked if we could change to another pod which was available for our alternative dates. We attempted contact several times over 10 days, however we had no reply from the owner (via Sykes) over this time. We have no idea if this was an issue with Skyes or the owners. In the end we had to change to a later date for the same pod but it ended up costing us an extra £100. This customer service experience will probably put me off giving these pods a full recommendation to anyone.

  We had a very relaxing stay.

  The property is well maintained and very comfortable. It's worth noting that the road to the property is very rough and muddy. Also slightly disappointed with the communication from the owners, a welcome email wasn't received, so we were unaware the hot tub wouldn't be available on our final night. However when my husband spoke to the owner he made sure we were able to use it. There was no information in the property except for a few leaflets left by previous holidaymakers. In the past we have been used to a folder or something to let you know about the property and surrounding area. Thanks to Google though we were able to investigate the area during our stay.
