Emma T.
Date of stay: 7th May 2025

We had such a lovely stay at this cottage! The place is super well kept and fully equipped, making it really comfortable. The dog walks right outside were perfect for our pups and we loved meeting the farm animals, especially Penelope the pig. The host was friendly and quick to reply. Well definitely be coming back - great value!

Lovely stay with welcoming hosts and the jacuzzi made it even more special. Great experience!

Emma, North East Lincolnshire
Date of stay: 2nd April 2025

Perfect spot for unwinding, loved every minute of it.

Emma, Cambridgeshire
Date of stay: 22nd March 2025

We had a fantastic stay at this lodge! The laminated floors made cleaning up after our muddy paws super easy, which was a relief. The hot tub was just right after a day of exploring and the lodge facilities were spot on. The park itself isnt much, but honestly, that meant we had plenty of peaceful walks with the dog. Loved it!

Emily, Essex
Date of stay: 17th March 2025

We stayed at the lodge and loved the luxurious vibe. The place is really well equipped. Only downside was the rainfall shower head in the main bedroom was broken and the third rooms bunk bed area was too small for our travel cot, so baby came into our room. Still, overall a great stay!

Alexandra Morris, Leicestershire
Date of stay: 20th February 2025

Overall, we had a nice stay, but a few small issues. The bathroom vents could be stronger, especially over the shower and bath, as steam was peeling the ceiling paint. Also, the toilet seats in both bedrooms felt a bit loose.
