Visitor Reviews of Hillcroft Park

Great location with lots to do with a toddler.
Kelly
Date of stay: 20th August 2025
Absolutely loved our stay at the retreat lodge 11. It was very clean and loved the hot tub. Nice to know that the hot tub was completely emptied and cleaned after our stay, to refill for the new guests. Beds were good and it just had everything you needed. Best one I’ve been in at the lakes.
Helen
Date of stay: 20th August 2025
Well maintained a tidy accommodation. Lovely touches providing dog bowl, treats and dog towel. Fantastic facilities with everything that you would need for a wonderful holiday.
Mandy
Date of stay: 5th June 2025
See earlier comments, for our particular family (our criteria is; rural/countryside, access to food and drink options without driving, access to local bus services, privacy) this accommodation was almost ideal other than would have preferred another bathroom. This wouldn't prevent us from rebooking, which we intend to do.

We had such a lovely weekend here, perfect for a peaceful anniversary getaway. Highly recommend!
Emma Carter
Date of stay: 15th April 2025
We had a really lovely stay! Sharon and Robert went out of their way to make us feel at home, which we truly appreciated. The place was spotlessly clean, cosy and felt safe for our dog Archie. The location was perfect for exploring - loads of nice walks and charming villages like Thaxted nearby. We definitely left feeling refreshed and relaxed. All in all, a great little retreat!
Martin
Date of stay: 13th April 2025
We had a fantastic weekend getaway and this place really ticked all the boxes for us. The garden was perfect for the dogs and they were so happy, especially with the underfloor heating-Luna was wagging her tail nonstop! She even came home with a strained tail, but it’s all good. We’re definitely planning to visit again soon!
Oliver, Widnes
Date of stay: 11th April 2025
Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was perfect and spacious too.
Raj
Date of stay: 8th April 2025
We had a really lovely stay at this place. The setting is quite secluded and really beautiful, perfect if you want some peace and quiet. The owners are genuinely friendly and helpful, always nearby if you need anything but respecting your privacy. The hot tub was a real treat after cycling all day, definitely a highlight! One thing to keep in mind though, the cottage is right under Stansted’s flight path, so there’s quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didn’t bother us too much after a while, but it’s worth considering if you’re sensitive to noise. All in all, a great spot!
Emma Clarke, Durham
Date of stay: 30th March 2025

Jamie
Date of stay: 2nd March 2025
We had such a lovely stay at this cosy little cottage. It’s tucked away nicely but still close enough to the shops and local spots. The hot tub was a real treat and the underfloor heating kept everything super comfy. Rob, Sharon and Bonnie made us feel right at home! We’ll be back soon for sure.
Emma, Edinburgh

We had a wonderful stay at this cosy cottage on a working farm, which feels surprisingly private. Robert and Sharon are such lovely hosts, making us feel really welcome. The place itself is spacious and well-equipped, especially the kitchen and bathroom - everything we needed! The bed was super comfy and the garden, dog-proof and secluded, was perfect for relaxing. Plenty of walking routes nearby and we loved exploring Thaxted’s restaurants like The Star and The Maypole. Definitely recommend!

We had a lovely stay here! The rural setting was so peaceful and the courtyard with the hot tub really made it special. Perfect spot for relaxing walks in the countryside too.

The place looked really nice, super clean and modern fixtures everywhere. We did run out of towels and toilet roll after a couple of days, though. Bit tight for four adults over three nights.

We had such a lovely stay at this cosy little cottage! Honestly, we didn’t need to bring a thing because it’s so well equipped. The welcome pack was a nice touch, full of useful info and menus - really thoughtful. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after a day out. Sharon and Rob were super quick to reply if we had any questions. Thanks for the little extras for us and the pups - we’ll definitely be back!

We had a fantastic stay at this cosy cottage! It’s honestly got everything you could possibly need, so no need to pack much. We were surprised at how well equipped the place was - I ended up overloading the car! The welcome pack was a nice touch, full of useful info and menus. The owners, Sharon and Rob, were super quick to reply if we had any questions. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was just perfect for relaxing. Thanks for a lovely break, we’ll be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cosy cottage. Perfect for a peaceful escape, though the night-time plane noise from Stanstead was noticeable. The hot tub was a highlight!

We stayed here for a week in July with our two little dachshunds. The cottage is really charming and the hot tub was a real treat, especially during the scorching days when the water was cool enough to enjoy. The hosts were lovely and made us feel very welcome, even taking their dogs out to the fields each day which was a nice touch. Being near Stansted meant we could watch the planes landing - quite interesting! Overall, we’d definitely recommend Hide, it was a great little getaway and the dogs loved it too!

Just returned from a 5 night stay in the Dorchester lodge. The location of the site is perfect for a stroll into Pooley Bridge and lots of lovely walks around the area. Friendly staff and well maintained site. Would highly recommend.

We stayed in meadowbank cottage, it was fabulous from start to finish! You can’t get better views! Hot tub was a bonus. Cleanliness was spot on and the little touches were appreciated. We would definitely return.

This is the 5th or 6th time at hillcroft over a period of say 10 to 12 years and not one has been a bad one although there has been some changes but we will always go for the lodge and that never disappoints loved our time and will certainly will come again in the very near future.

Amazing park , well set out , little walk into village and the lake , lodges brilliant, definitely be returning soon.
Marina
Beautiful immaculately clean lodge with everything you could need for your holiday. You always worry staying in pet friendly accommodation but not here it was sparkling. The grounds are amazing.The whole site is so well looked after. Short walk into Pooley bridge with enough pub/restaurants to visit albeit they seem to have the same menus. A bit of variety would be nice .
Audrey
Ideally placed for visiting Ullswater and plenty of excellent walks on the doorstep.
David
Beautiful lodge in a great location!
