We had a lovely stay and honestly, it was just what we needed for a relaxing break with our dog. The onsite facilities are really handy, especially if you like bringing your furry friend along-there’s plenty of space for walks right outside the door. Parking right next to the lodge made everything so much easier and the area is well lit at night, so no worries about walking back after dark. Inside, everything was spotless and well-maintained. The kitchen had all the essentials if you fancied cooking up a meal, which we did a couple of times. The bathroom was one of the nicest parts-super modern with a double shower over the bath and a vanity mirror that lights up, which was a nice touch! The bedroom was comfy, with built-in wardrobes and a floor-to-ceiling mirror, plus ample storage for shoes and coats. We appreciated the good storage-always handy when you’re walking in all weather. The lodge’s heating system was straightforward to control and kept us warm all the time, which was much appreciated. Our lodge was secluded enough that we could relax outside on the table and chairs, enjoying the peaceful views-definitely a perk on such a big site with over 100 lodges. The onsite shop had a nice selection of goods and stayed open until 7:30 pm and we popped into the bar for drinks-didn't eat there but the food looked tasty. Plenty of activities for families, but we just enjoyed the quiet walks and surroundings. The staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be coming back!

We really loved our stay at the lodge! It’s so modern, bright and spotless, with everything we needed. The location within the park is perfect-super private and peaceful. Watching the squirrels and birds was such a treat, especially that cheeky squirrel who almost knocked on the door! The hot tub was a real highlight, even better in the rain. Would definitely come back!

Honestly, we didn't find this place worth what we paid. The lodge was pretty barebones and the second shower was pretty much useless. The kitchen was so basic we couldn't even cook properly. The heating was a nightmare-one minute boiling, the next freezing! The hot tub was also too cold to enjoy. It felt like they were cutting corners to save costs, which really took away from our experience. Not what we expected at all.

Comfort isn't quite there anymore, sadly.

The place is really spacious and the view from the decking is lovely. Hearing the birds when we open the windows was such a nice touch! Kitchen's well stocked too.

The overall setup is decent, but missing a coffee machine and plenty of storage. No dressing table or space for makeup and toiletries either.

Very cosy place, spotlessly clean, had all the essentials we wanted.

Great place, but a colourful bath mat would be a nice touch.

We really enjoyed our stay, but it was a bit tricky drying our hair since there's only a mirror in one bedroom. Would be perfect with a proper space!

Great spot for a laid-back weekend away.

We really enjoyed our stay! The lodge had all we needed, though the sofa could use a replacement since it’s a bit saggy in the corner. Still very comfy overall.

We stayed at the lodge during half term and honestly, it was pretty lovely. The place was spotless, with fresh linen and really soft towels-definitely appreciated after a day out. The kitchen was fully stocked, with a spotless oven, a small pack of washing up liquid, a sponge and dishwasher tablets, which was super handy. It did feel a bit outdated though-there was a CD player and radio alarm clock, so maybe a Bluetooth speaker or USB plugs would be a nice upgrade. The TV was a tad small but straightforward to connect to streaming services. All in all, a good stay!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The lodges were spotlessly clean and had all the facilities we needed. It would’ve been perfect if we could’ve requested two double beds instead of twins, since my mum found it tricky to push the singles together. Also, a few bits of dust under the furniture, but overall, a lovely experience.

Honestly, we’re pretty disappointed. Dog hair everywhere, furniture and floors need a proper clean and the flooring’s in a bad state.

The lodge was really cosy and warm, perfect for chilly nights. However, the walls are quite thin.

As someone tall, I find most lounge furniture a bit too low, but the cabin has all the facilities we need. Last time’s location wasn’t ideal-too close to neighbours and overlooked. Hoping to book directly again soon! We’re off to Ashbourne next.

The place was lovely overall, but the double bed's mattress topper was a bit too soft for my taste. Still enjoyed it!

The lodge was alright, a bit old-fashioned but had all we needed. Comfy bed and a spacious bathroom with a separate shower.

We had a great time at Darwin & the cabin. The Elite Lodge’s sauna and jacuzzi were spot on, especially the outdoor bath. Definitely recommend it for relaxation and comfort. Ace experience!
