Visitor Reviews of The Pond Lodges

Date of stay: 22nd August 2025
All the furniture and fittings all worked and were very clean. The lack of indoor living area was the factor for the average score for comfort and furnitre and fittings. Along with having no oven mitt and no microwave.
Sophie
Date of stay: 25th June 2025
Me and my boyfriend booked a 3 night stay for his birthday and the lodge and surrounding areas are stunning! Lots of nature walks, hikes, beaches and National Trust places to visit nearby. Friendly locals and good places for food too Everything you need is in the lodge and it's peaceful and quite all around! We were visited by a lovely Collie a couple times, no idea who he belonged to but there was lots of cattle nearby so he must be a farmers dog. He spent lots of time cuddled up to me sunbathing and enjoying belly scratches On arrival our hot tub was not working and the owner tried her best to get it repaired by various handymen but it was needing some proper TLC so unfortunately it couldn't be fixed for our stay but the owner was really lovely and apologetic about the problem and she came to our cabin to apologise in person and we received a refund for the difference of a cabin with no hot tub! This didn't change how must we loved our stay and how much fun we had. Barstobrick is beautiful and I highly recommended visiting The Pond Lodges

The lodge was everything it said it was in the ad description, it's a fantastic place for walking, birdwatching and visiting the many castles, as well as hours spent sketching and painting the awesome countryside.
Caroline
Date of stay: 26th May 2025
The space was really well planned and felt quite large. We were really lucky with the weather so made the most of the outside hot tub and space. The cover bar of the hot tub was broken when we arrived but it was quickly fixed without us having to report it so the site is very well maintained. Very new, quiet and clean.

Date of stay: 30th March 2025
We had a lovely stay! The place was super peaceful and spotless, with all the essentials like plates, cups, glasses, pans and even washing up liquid. Only thing missing was shower gel and shampoo, but we brought our own. The mattress needs replacing though-wasn't very comfy.
Rachel
Date of stay: 19th December 2024
We stayed at the lodge for four nights and found it just as described-spotlessly clean and well-equipped. The only downside was the bed; those springs really dug in and the pillows were quite flat, which others had also mentioned. On a brighter note, Bob the resident dog was adorable and so welcoming - he was clearly excited to see us after our walks. We’d definitely return!
Emma
Date of stay: 19th December 2024
The lodge was exactly as described.Very clean and had everything we needed for our 4 night stay.Our only issue was the bed, there was springs digging into our body and the pillows were very flat. Other reviews had also mentioned this.The resident Dog Bob was very friendly and welcomed us back after a walk, he looked so excited to see us and get a cuddle.I'd definitely go back.

We stayed at Cherry Lodge and honestly, it had everything we needed for a short break. The kitchen was compact but fully stocked and the shower was really good. The double bed looked out onto a stunning view and the breakfast bar with stools was a nice touch. The hot tub on the decking was definitely a highlight, with comfy chairs to relax and enjoy the scenery. Would happily return!

We loved how serene everything was - truly peaceful! The place is compact but feels luxurious, definitely not enough time here. Only a tiny gripe: some more signs for Pond Lodges would help, sat nav led us astray. We’ll be back!

We had such a lovely time at The Pond Lodges! The setting is absolutely gorgeous, surrounded by nature, which makes it a perfect spot to unwind. The lodges themselves are really comfortable and well-equipped. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right.

Jamie
Date of stay: 19th March 2024
We stayed in the Maple Lodge and honestly, it was pretty lovely. Everything we needed was there, from comfy furniture to all the essentials. The outdoor seating area was a nice touch, perfect for relaxing evenings. The hot tub was a highlight, though we did notice it wasn’t covered, which was a bit of a shame. On our first night, the weather was perfect, so we made the most of it, but the next day, heavy rain meant we had to use the hot tub cover as a makeshift shelter! It’d be great if they added covers over the hot tubs, like the other lodges seem to have. Still, overall, a great stay!
Emma
