This is the 3rd time we have stayed at the holiday park ever time in different lodges all excellent this is the smallest lodge we have stayed in but it was just for me and my wife and again if its piece and quiet you want this is the place everything you need is in the lodge this is the perfect retreat
Caitlin
Third year weve visited Oakwood Lodge. The hottub this year was no where near as good as the previous 2, a great trip away just disappointed as we know how good it can be
Was beautifully clean upon our arrival, very lovely lodge, great private layout to the park with stunning views, really enjoyed our stay. Could have done with a doormat inside, not just outside, and lacked the flame effect fire in the property description, which would have added a warmer feel and focal point. That said, really very minor points, we will definitely be going back.
Allison
We booked a hot tub lodge. Our whole search focussed on having somewhere to stay with a hot tub. The hot tub in our lodge was broken as we did not get to use it at all. We were offered the use of one in a lodge up the dark hill. Did they really want us to traipse up there in towels and swims and then walk back wet? We therefore did not get the break we booked. Disappointing.
Claire
Beautiful lodge Well equipped Quiet Stunning surroundings Hot tub made it extra special Would of been nice to have a few brochures leaflets telling of place's to visit from local attractions to supermarkets.
Justyna
Lovely , clean, comfortable, beautifully located lodge. Hot tub is a great addition. Outside space and facilities great. Outside balcony space perfect for morning coffee with an amazing view. Had a lovely stay. Thank you!
We had a lovely stay in lodge 7. The lodge was well equipped and clean. The hot tub was up and ready to use straight away and we enjoyed making the most of it during our stay. We had a lovely break and would definitely recommend the lodge and return ourselves.
Lauren
Lovely little lodge, clean and comfortable nice relaxing break, Until other holiday makers think it's acceptable to leave dogs off leads, and run over to my elderly labrador who doesn't need to be growled at or need to have to defend herself. Twice this happened with 2 separate dogs. Not acceptable. Why do people assume they're dogs are great. Clearly not all dogs are friendly all of the time. Just think people need to be reminded dogs on leads at all times whilst out of lodges.
The space between the lodges was absolutely perfect very private and relaxing the exercise area for the dog was perfect
The stay was great, lovely location and set up. Slight issue with a light bulb in the lodge but was sorted promptly.
Francesca
Beautiful lodge in a beautiful setting! Hot tub was a huge plus! Thank you for a wonderful stay.
This is the first time we have done this type of holiday but it will not be the last. Really helpful staff, great lodge and location. If I had to pick a negative it would be the shower was just warm and not very powerful but it was liveable. I will be booking again. The toaster blew the fuse and the staff answered straight away and sorted the issue within 10 mins. Great holiday and we will see you again, thank you.
