Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently mention the lodge's spotless condition and high standard of cleanliness, with only one minor remark about the floor not being entirely clean upon arrival. Overall, the property is maintained to an exceptional level of cleanliness.
The lodge's location is frequently praised for its proximity to Rudyard Lake, local pubs, and the town of Leek. Its setting is described as beautiful and perfect for exploring the Peak District, contributing to a high location score.
Comfort is highly rated, with guests finding the lodge warm and welcoming. The beds are noted for their comfort, and the underfloor heating is a luxury touch. However, there is a single mention of the beds being hard, which slightly impacts the score.
Facilities at Kipling Lodge are well-received, with the hot tub, kitchen equipment, and underfloor heating being particularly appreciated. The high specification and maintenance of these amenities are noted by guests, although one review mentions basic cooking utensils and uncomfortable sofas.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident through mentions of welcome gifts such as wine and water, although it is politely noted that such gestures are not guaranteed. The attention to detail and provision of essentials contribute to a positive experience.

Everything you need for self catering, comfortable beds and hot tub just is the icing on the cake that is cleaned and maintained each day. Guys that own lodge are amazing, friendly, welcoming and helpful when needed. This is the only accommodation we have booked that is exactly as described and pictured

Really good seating and dining area, 2 bedrooms with double beds, 1 with on suite bathroom, another room with bunk beds. Literally the only thing you need to take is food and toiletries. Theres an Asds a 10 minuye drive away in Leek, petrol station on the way and Rudyard Lake is less than a 5 minuye Drive away.Hot tub is always on and at temperature and was checked daily by Matt. Own private garden at the back with a shared field, even the dog loved it. Would definitely stay again.
