Property was jot cleaned the bed sheets were not changed me and my partner found so many hairs. The drive they did not take care of it snowed and we got stuck. Absolute disaster.

Alison

This is the third time that I have stayed here and I love it. There have been a few improvements that were great. A couple of issues that were sorted out very quickly. Thank for the lovely welcome gift. I can still recommend this lodge and location and I will be returning in March 2026.

The good... Lovely setting and property. Amazing hot tub. Comfy bed. Large and spacious outside terrace. High pressure shower. The bad... Wasp, fly and flying ant infestation. Car park too far away from property. Cheap toilet roll not enough for our stay. Cheap and not enough wash liquid. Bi fold doors would not slide open. Radiators wouldn't work so wet towels for our 5 day stay. 60 mile round trip to nearest large supermarket.

Lovely location Very peaceful Nice scenery Nice walks around the local area and cafes Hot tub great addition and private not overlooking other cabins very private Comfortable bed Nice bathroom Easy to use kitchen hob cooker Plates cutlery pots pans basic kitchen cooking utensils provided take own binbags and 2 towels provided would suggest taking more buy extra logs if staying in winter Took 3 baskets of logs and 1 of kindling to get the hot tub up to temp, took about 3 hours to get it hot enough to get in so factor that in to your arrival time

Alison

This was my 2nd visit this year. I love this place so tranquil and relaxing. I go on my own with my dog. The hot tub was lit in advanced and I was greeted by a friendly gentleman. The first visit I struggled with the hot tub lid as it was too heavy for one person. I'm pleased to say that it has been replaced by a new lighter one and I was able to use it more often. The lodge itself is comfortable and warm, with everything that you need. The bed is comfortable and the views amazing. I ate alfresco all week. As you can tell I love this place and will be booking again for next year.

I was not planning on leaving a review. However upon our checkout, we got confronted by one of the owners, who instead of even offering any form of apology for the poor conditions that we had reported, he instead ambushed us and was very confrontational about the fact that we had decided to raise some concerns for the cleanliness of the property. It left a very sour taste in our mouths as we were leaving and frankly it was the main reason why we are leaving a negative review. Aside from this, upon entering the property on the first day, we were greeted with an infestation of flies including one in the kettle, and we had to spend hours trying to get rid of them. The pans were dirty and we werent provided with sufficient cleaning products i.e cleaning spray etc to clean dishes adequately and to even maintain hygiene and cleanliness in general. Furthermore, the hosts were generally unresponsive to calls whenever we needed assistance, for example we ordered and paid for some extra wood from them and upon payment we received no response from them about receipt of the wood until the last minute.

Great place nice and quiet dogs loved it Highly recommended

Rebecca

Absolutely perfect. Rebooking for next year.

Beautiful area, secluded and very quiet. Just what we needed. Lodge set up was great, however cleanliness not so much. On our arrival we found a cigarette butt on the bathroom floor. Hand wash dispenser above the bathroom sink was empty. Cutlery and crockery were dirty and no washing up liquid was provided. Also pillows were very firm and not comfortable at all, but I guess thats a personal preference. Overall lovely place, but cleanliness must improve.

Trolley to get bits from car to lodge is a good idea. Really is 2 adults & 2 kids accommodation , only 2 of us so its fine . Extra comfortable seating for outside would have been nice as opposed to camping chairs. All in all though a nice stay in a beautiful area.

Lovely property, very peaceful

Stephen

On arrival the gentlemen who greeted us were very helpful and pleasant. The accommodation was as described and the surroundings peaceful

Natasha

We loved it here. We had the relaxing weekend we wanted. There was a welcome pack to tel us how to use everything and how to start the hot tub which was great and really handy. We had privacy away from the other lodges which was nice. The scenery was beautiful. The lodge itself was lovely and we could not fault it. Instructions to the lodge were easy to follow. We will definitely be making a return trip

Leanda

Lovely weekend stay at Meadow Lodge. Such a remote and peaceful setting. My only suggestion would be to maybe have a store onsite with essentials like coffeeteasugar available to purchase just because the nearest supermarket is a good half an hour drive. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to coming back and maybe trying out the other accommodation options.

We had a lovely honeymoon stay in Meadow Lodge. The location is superb in the middle of nowhere up a hill and the lodge itself is of a good spec. We found that the place was lacking the human touches weve become accustomed to on all other self catering stays that would have made the stay excellent. We were left just less than half of 1 toilet roll which became a problem due to my partners medical condition. We were told someone would bring these up for 930am on our first morning but arrived just shy of 11am with no apology. There was only 1 wine glass and the only Prosecco style glass was cracked in the cupboard. There was no hand soap provided which was a surprise. There were no tools provided to clean the BBQ which had elements fixed together and required an appropriate cleaning tool. This was a concern as rules state a fine if no cleaned. There was also no complimentary items ie teacoffee however I accept these shouldnt necessarily expected. Despite all of this we would return due to the lodge itself and the location its set in.

Debbie

I stayed at Meadow Lodge with my sister and our two dogs, the lodge was immaculately clean and was very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed a couple of home cooked meals sat on the terrace. My dog Gracie is a German Shepherd and she had a great time with there being so much open space, she constantly had her ball in her mouth wanting to go out and play. There is also a lovely wooded walk at the top of the meadow which was ideal for walks with the dogs, we will definitely be revisiting

Bathroom could have done with mould remover cushion on settee not clean felt as it should have had a good clean plus said towels provided only 2 could job I took some it was lovely place so quiet great for the dogs but I think could have had good clean apart from all this had lovely time

Alison

I spent 4 nights here and was extremely lucky to be the only person staying . I thought it was going to be cold, but its a warm a cozy place to stay with just enough facilities. The gentleman that greeted me was very nice and gave clear instructions on how to heat the hot tub. Unfortunately as it was just me staying I only got to use it once as the lid needs 2 people to remove and replace. It's a beautiful location definitely a hidden gem and I look forward to returning.

Lovely lodge in a fantastic setting. Great 2 night stay as a family of 52 adults, 2 children and a puppy. Read the directions before setting off. The lanes are a little narrow and steep on the approach.

Lovely property in beautiful location Only negative is that after we'd booked and paid, we realised we'd been charged an extra fee for logs for heating the hot tub which we had no intention of using and didn't use. So think this really should be refunded.

Daniel

Great place to stay. Nice views and the cabin was spot on

Rebecca

What an absolute dream. This place was everything we dreamt of and more, idyllic infact! We wanted a little bit of peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings and our dreams really did come true. The cabin is perfect, cosy and warm and had everything we needed. The hot tub was perfect and easy to heat. The fire pit was lovely for our final night. Lots of wildlife around, binoculars definitely came in handy and I am so glad I packed them. All booked again for November and we are counting down the days already, thanks for a perfect holiday.

Property perfect, absolutely no issues with it and would definitely stay again.

We had a fab break amazing view from the cabin. We arrived late on our first night and the tv didnt work, the next day a lovely gentleman came to fix it so all was good. The hot tub is amazing once warm stays warm and didnt take too long to heat up. The cabin could do with a bit of TLC some new curtains, a new kettle as that one has seen better days a few other minor things but the stay was just what the doctor ordered.

Really great place to stay! ! Lovely surroundings and great walks on the doorstep. Although other people staying on site, very secluded and private accommodation. Very friendly staff available when needed to sort any problems, even if nothing to do with accommodation

Taylor

Fantastic stay would definitely recommend and wed come back again ! ! Beautiful view of the mountains from the lodge great waking places right on your door step too. Also had a very useful guide book that had all the information you needed.

Stunning views, brilliant hot tub and the owner was so friendly and helpful. Close enough to drive to places for days out, but so far off the beaten track that it offered the idyllic peaceful relaxing break with the dogs we needed. The only suggestion would be an extra couple of tea towels and bin bags, as well as bed linen for the sofa bed.

Yasmine

Second time stay wonderful we love the remote location the view is stunning

Adrian

We had a lovely stay, was everything we asked and looked for. Very peaceful. We have no complaints, it was an easy process from booking to going, absolutely no hassles.

Tracey

Lovely cottage, hot tub fabulous, beautiful surroundings and helpful property owners. Thankyou

Absolutely woild recommend staying here. The bed is so comfortable. There's plenty of room inside and has everything you need for your stay. The hot tub is lovely even if you do have to make a fire and heat it your self witch can take a good few hours to get right. The staff where all lovely and always at hand if you need them. The lodge we stayed had views to die for and the dogs absolutely loved every minute of it we stayed here for 9 nights and didnt want to come home . Can not wait to return.

Jeffrey

Rebecca

Had an amazing Monday to Friday stay here as two adults and two dogs. The views are amazing, the lodge has everything you need, the hottub was lovely and the team were happy to help. Location was great for what we wanted, secluded but close to some lovely walks and close enough to town to pick up a takeaway one evening. Would stay again.

Perfect place to take in the countryside. Off the beaten track. Was Perfect for us as did nothing. Very comfortable stay
