Oaktree Lodge

What a fantastic place. I booked it the night before I travelled and knew I'd had a dose of good fortune. It was gorgeous. Nothing to fault. The host was excellent. He gave great advice on getting some food for the evening. It was perfect.

It is in the middle of nowhere, but it is worth travelling to.

It was lovely

Very attractive, peaceful location, lovely garden, very clean, well equipped and comfortable.

The sofa was quite low and I found it difficult to get off it with my ageing knees.

Completely self sufficient and spotlessly clean. All essentials provided to ensure a very comfortable stay

Nothing

Ray met us and explained everything we needed to know and reassured us that help would be available if needed. Great parking and plenty of places to go/ drink/ shop if needed.

N/A

Absolutely wonderful place to stay with everything you. Always provided by the little things like coffee, milk, cereals and chocolate bourbons

Nothing

Really clean and quite, plenty of private parking right next to the building

Nothing

Located in a private back yard, but you wouldn’t know it. Owners have us plenty of privacy and space to park our car. Owner showed us around the flat to make sure we knew how things worked.

Recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautifully appointed lodge for a week, and it truly exceeded all expectations. Nestled at the end of a private drive behind a charming house, the lodge offers peace, privacy, and a real sense of escape – ideal for anyone looking to unwind in a quiet and comfortable setting. From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed. The owner greeted me personally and took the time to show me around, which set the tone for what would be a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The lodge itself is purpose-built, and you can feel the care that’s gone into every detail. It’s the kind of place where you instinctively take your shoes off, out of respect for the quality and cleanliness of the space. Every room is beautifully decorated and tastefully furnished – it genuinely felt like a home away from home. Thoughtful touches were everywhere. A selection of four cereals in the cupboard and a proper bottle of milk (clearly fresh from the local milkman) awaited me, alongside a bowl of fresh fruit, tea, coffee, and a packet of biscuits. It reminded me of staying at my parents’ house – warm, familiar, and comforting. Cleanliness was absolutely top-tier. From the sparkling bathroom to the perfectly arranged cutlery drawer and fresh towels, everything was spotless. Clearly, nothing has been overlooked. One particularly thoughtful gesture stood out – after a day where the temperature soared past 30 degrees, I returned to find a fan waiting at the door. That simple act spoke volumes about the host’s care and attention to their guests’ comfort. It made for a much more restful night's sleep and left a lasting impression. In short, this lodge is a hidden gem. Quiet, immaculately clean, incredibly well-equipped, and hosted with genuine thoughtfulness. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again – 10 out of 10. A class act from start to finish. Well done!

The only minor point was a slightly noisy fridge, but it was hardly worth mentioning.
