Visitor Reviews of Hillcroft Park

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.
Emma
Date of stay: 18th April 2025
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
We had such a lovely stay! The lodge was super clean, really cosy and kid-friendly. All the little touches made it feel special. Definitely coming back!

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
Date of stay: 28th February 2025
The bed was super comfy and the space felt quite generous. Kitchen had everything we needed, which was great. Wifi wasn’t the strongest, but it did the job. Overall, a nice place to stay!
James
Date of stay: 25th February 2025
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!
Emma
Date of stay: 24th February 2025
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.

Emma, Manchester
Date of stay: 17th February 2025
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.

Looking forward to next year's visit!

Date of stay: 9th February 2025
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!

Emma
Date of stay: 18th January 2025
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!
Emma
Date of stay: 15th January 2025
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!
Emma
Date of stay: 26th December 2024
We had a wonderful stay! The house was spotless, cosy and well stocked. The hot tub was a highlight!
Raj
Date of stay: 26th December 2024
We had such a lovely stay at this little gem! The location is really private and peaceful, perfect for escaping the hustle. The owners are super friendly and always willing to help without intruding-just the right balance. The hot tub was a highlight after a long day of cycling, so relaxing! The only thing to note is that it’s right under Stansted’s flight path, so there’s quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didn’t bother us too much once we got used to it, but if you're sensitive, it’s worth mentioning. Overall, we’d definitely go back!
Emma Collins
Date of stay: 23rd December 2024
We had a really lovely stay! Sharon and Robert were fantastic hosts, making us feel super welcome from the start. The place was spotless, comfy and felt really secure for our dog Archie, which was a relief. The location was perfect, with plenty of walks nearby and charming villages like Thaxted to explore. Honestly, we left feeling totally recharged and relaxed - it was just what we needed!
Emma
Date of stay: 19th December 2024
Really enjoyed our stay here! The place was spotless, peaceful and the hosts couldn’t be sweeter. The hot tub is definitely a highlight! Perfect for couples.

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.
Mark
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.

Lesley
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.

Craig
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.

Beautiful lodge in a great location!
