Rivendale Lodge Retreat

Great lodges and great prices for accommodation.

The only small nit pic was the lack of smart TV functionality. With everything else so up to date and modern it seemed strange the TVs did not have this.

It was clean and beds were decent

Sofas, no cleaning supplies, hot tub could be warmer, staff aren’t friendly.

The lodge was fabulous apart from the tatty leather couch which had a throw on the seat part to obviously cover it and was ripped in the arm. Would have been better with the lodge facing the other way rather than overlooking the car park. The location was stunningly beautiful and the staff were really friendly and helpful.

The tatty leather couch

Great location. Very peaceful.

Back smell from toilet.

Exceptionally contemporary and remarkably well-maintained, especially impressive given that the property welcomes pets. The lodge features excellent amenities, including a washer and dishwasher.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Hot tub a great feature. Fantastic walking trails straight from the lodges.

The additional charge for hot tub robes seems inconsistent with the premium pricing - these amenities would typically be included at this rate. The towel allocation was insufficient for our stay. While we enjoyed discovering there was live entertainment in the bar, advance notice of scheduled performances would enhance the guest experience and allow for better planning. At this price point, modern amenities like a smart TV would be expected standard features.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Slippy outside flooring

The lodge was excellent and everything about it was 1st class , unfortunately the location was a little isolated for what we required, if your a walker or a cyclist it’s ideal , the views are limited and walks within the confines of the property are very poor .

They don’t encourage you to have visitors, parking is very limited. Taking children is a complete waste of time has there is no facilities for them to play .
