Guests say
Thorntree Lodge is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and peaceful location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, the warm welcome from the hosts, and the property's proximity to local attractions. Despite a few minor criticisms, the overall sentiment is extremely positive, with many guests looking forward to returning.
The majority of guests have commended the lodge for its spotless condition, with several reviews highlighting its cleanliness. However, one review mentioned issues with cleanliness, such as windows and appliances, which slightly impacts the overall score.
The lodge is appreciated for its quiet and tranquil setting, with easy access to local sights and walks. While most reviews are positive, one guest found the roads to be narrow and difficult, and the location was not as expected, which slightly lowers the score.
Guests frequently describe the lodge as cosy, inviting, and comfortable, with ample space for gatherings and a warm atmosphere. The comfort of the beds and the provision of hot water are also noted positively.
The facilities at Thorntree Lodge are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen, BBQ, and secure parking. However, one review noted the lack of WiFi during their stay, and another mentioned the absence of appliance instructions, which suggests room for improvement.
While some guests mentioned a warm welcome and the provision of tea, coffee, and milk, there is no consistent mention of gifts or additional thoughtful touches across the reviews. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score for thoughtfulness.

This property was ideal for visiting the peak district and easily housed 4 adults and our dog and also had more than adequate space for visitors. Several easy to reach dog walks can be accessed from the property and the lodge itself is very dog friendly as are the owners whom share the adjacent farmhouse. We enjoyed a relaxing 5 day stay that included 2 elderly ladies that found the one level property together with an easy access shower the ideal setup. A small enclosed garden/driveway was more than adequate for our pooch to do its business etc and the nearby farmyard had a tap and hose so as to washdown wellies and the dog after some muddy but delightful walks. A BIG thank you to the owners whom were friendly, welcoming and very helpful without being at all intrusive and made our stay all the more relaxing. Put Thontree Lodge on your places to stay and you will not be disappointed.

Decking slippery when wet. Interior better. Spotless bathroom although mirrors not cleaned. Windows filthy, had the remains of dog drool on the glass and kiddies finger prints. Wardrobe smelt of cigarette smoke. Lampshades full of dust and cobwebs hanging from ceiling corners. Toaster had food remains left in. Hob not cleaned and oven trays not cleaned. No instructions of appliances. The bed was comfy and decent bedding but a drab grey colour. Plenty of hot water. There was a toy found under the bed and the owner made a joke of saying his daughter had not cleaned under the beds. Beware of the Labrador dog which is domineering with other dogs and attacked my dog. The owner was quick to say that his dog did not bite mine, even so it upset us and my dog. This is the first time that we did not get a welcome pack. We had been travelling a long time on the road and was in need of a drink and something to eat. A bottle of milk and some biscuits would have been nice. Also it states that the property is in Rowsley. We was then navigated up some narrow, winding, pot ridden roads. No shops around. Too dangerous to walk your dogs on the roads but the owner did allow us to use his fields. One of the windows had all so had blown glass. The place was warm.

Thorntree Lodge was well equipped with everything we needed for a three night stay. Ample room with three spacious bedrooms and a large kitchen/dining/lounge area. Warm and cosy for our frosty winter escape with the dog. The lodge is adjacent to the farmhouse, situated in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. It was the perfect getaway.
