Rivendale Lodge Retreat Reviews

"Overall, we had a lovely stay at the treehouse. The only downside was the WiFi didn't quite reach the hot tub area, so no music downstairs. The hot tub itself couldve been better; some jets werent working and the handle was broken, which is understandable given how much theyre used. Despite that, wed definitely stay here again - its a cosy spot with a lot of charm!"
Emma Carter - Mar 2025
"The treehouse was pretty fantastic really. It felt open and comfy at the same time, which we loved. Everything we needed was there, though we did have a tiny issue with the shower draining slowly. We just managed to get by and the staff said theyd sort it out before the next guest. The hot tub was a real highlight - just needed some fiddling with the jets, but once sorted, it was ace!"
Oliver - Oct 2024
"We really enjoyed our visit again this year! The staff are always friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome. The meals were spot on-hot, hearty and definitely enough to fill us up. The pies are a real highlight. Well be back for sure! Thanks a lot!"
Emma Roberts - Sep 2024
"We loved the treehouse, it had everything we needed for a comfy stay. Only issue was the smart TV - couldnt connect our phones for Netflix or movies, which was a bit of a letdown."
Emma Carter - Aug 2024
"Our Rivendale Lodge Retreat review: Absolutely loved our stay, the views were breathtaking and relaxing!"
James - Jul 2024
"Comfortable stay, would recommend"
Ellie Carter - Apr 2024
"We really enjoyed our stay! The lodge had everything we needed, from comfy beds to a smart layout. Perfect for three adults and wed definitely return again!"
Emma - Apr 2024
"Beautiful lodge with stunning views, really enjoyed our stay there."
Emma Carter - Apr 2024
"Lovely stay"
Ella Johnson - Apr 2024
"Location was fantastic and the amenities were top-notch, but couldve been cleaner."
Emma Carter - Apr 2024
"We had a pretty decent stay overall. It's definitely not a luxury escape, but its a step up from your usual caravan trip. The lodge itself looked good and had a lovely hot tub, which was a nice touch. The restaurant was dog-friendly and served decent food, plus the staff were really friendly and welcoming. The location is great for walks, with plenty of scenic spots just a short drive away. We used the dog wash every day - heated water, which was handy! That said, there were a few downsides. The lodge wasnt the highest quality - lots of cheap plastic fittings and some dirt and cobwebs here and there. It couldve been cleaner; we spotted cracks in the walls and dust on top of cupboards. No breakfast or lunch options at the restaurant either. We also had to rent bathrobes for the hot tub and privacy was a bit limited since only one screen was available. Plus, being near the main road meant traffic noise sometimes disturbed our sleep. Still, wed consider going back!"
Emma Roberts - Apr 2024
"We had a fantastic stay! The lodge was spotless and you could tell the cleaners really do a good job. The beds were super comfy and the kitchen and lounge felt really cosy. Sadly, the weather didnt let us enjoy the deck outside, but thats just bad luck. Still, wed definitely come back!"
James - Apr 2024
"We really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was super comfy and the decor was beautifully done, loved it."
James - Apr 2024
"Really enjoyed our stay! The place was comfy, had all the essentials and suited us perfectly for the week. Would definitely come again."
Emma - Apr 2024
"We had a lovely stay at the lodge! Its really well equipped and comfortable. The only thing we missed was a few softer lamps in the main living space - the bright spotlights made it a bit less cosy. We managed by switching off the overheads near the TV and leaving the kitchen lights on instead. A standing lamp in a corner would be a nice touch, but we understand its a bit tricky with regular guest turnovers. Still, wed definitely return!"
Emma - Mar 2024
"We really enjoyed our 4 nights in a premier lodge. The place was spotless and the bed was super comfy. The kitchen had all we needed and the hot tub was a real highlight-even in the rain! Honestly, we couldnt find a fault. Had a fantastic time!"
Ella - Mar 2024
"Really happy with everything, staff went out of their way to help."
Emily Carter - Mar 2024
"We had a lovely stay at the lodge - super clean and the hot tub was a real highlight, cleaned twice daily. Its got a cosy, homely vibe inside which made us feel at ease right away. The amenities like the washing machine, dryer and dishwasher were a big plus. We did find theres not much to do nearby, so perfect for just relaxing and unwinding. Only thing is, itd be great if the hot tub could be used later than 11 pm - maybe until midnight? Also, dont forget to bring your own toilet rolls. Overall, we really enjoyed it!"
Emma - Mar 2024
"Weve visited a few times now and really love the lodge-such a cosy spot. However, the cleanliness wasnt up to scratch; my wife ended up cleaning the kitchen herself. Also, the toilet seat kept falling and the kitchen blind fell on her. Still, a lovely place overall!"
Rachel - Mar 2024
"Great quality, really impressed with everything"
Emma Carter - Mar 2024
"The lodge was cosy and spotless, ideal for a romantic getaway. We loved it!"
Emma Carter - Mar 2024
"We had a great stay at the Dovedale Pet Friendly Lodge. The place was spotless and really welcoming for pets, with a gate at the door to keep our dog safe-such a thoughtful touch. The lodge itself was spacious and the bathroom was a highlight, especially the freestanding bath and walk-in shower. The veranda was perfect for relaxing outside, especially with the little lights at night. Our dog even got a nice new toy and some treats, which was lovely. Well definitely be back!"
Emma Carter - Mar 2024
"Overall, we had a decent stay. The kitchen appliances like the fridge, washer and dishwasher were handy, though we had to bring our own supplies to get started. The furniture was nice, but the sofa had a rip in the seat cushion that we couldnt flip over, so we just left it. The bathroom was lovely, both shower and bath and the bed was really comfy. Were planning to come back in April!"
Emma - Mar 2024
"Such a cosy spot, perfect for a romantic getaway, loved the fairy lights!"
Emma Carter - Mar 2024
"We really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was stunning and had everything we needed for cooking, which was handy. The setting is gorgeous, close to charming villages like Bakewell. Perfect for families or friends. Just a heads up-no dishwasher tabs or sponges provided, but theres an Aldi nearby, so no biggie."
Emma Clarke - Mar 2024
"We had such a lovely stay here! The lodge really does tick all the boxes - everything is thoughtfully provided and the appliances are top-notch. It was great being able to control the heating ourselves, especially since it was chilly outside. We spent quite a bit of time in the hot tub, which my husband and I absolutely loved. The staff really go the extra mile; they checked on us daily and responded super quickly when we had a door lock issue - they fixed it within ten minutes of us mentioning it. Were already planning our return. Such a gem amidst stunning scenery and Dawins customer service is spot on!"
Linda - Mar 2024
"Staff were friendly, made us feel welcome."
James Parker - Feb 2024
"We had a lovely weekend here! The hot tub in the lodge was a real treat and the walks nearby are perfect for a bit of relaxing. The on-site bar and restaurant are great value, too. Easy to get to local towns and attractions, whether by foot or car. Definitely recommend for a chilled escape!"
Alex Carter - Feb 2024
"Really enjoyed our stay, the bed was super comfy and the table was perfect!"
Emma - Feb 2024
"Perfect family week . The lodge was spotless the grounds perfect and the staff were amazing !!! Would definitely recommend and would love to return"
Rachel - Aug 2022
"Bakewell Lodge had all facilities of home, really clean. Had a great holiday, would recommend it to family and friends. Will come back."
Christine - Aug 2022
"We loved the holiday it was fab, the only downside was in the lodge the oven /microwave was to high up in lodge 30 and it was a bit dangerous as I at to stand on a chair to get the hot food out"
Susan - Aug 2022
"We stayed 4 nights in the Buxton and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Great location, central to all the places we wanted to see. Lodges are well placed on the site, deck was secluded and peaceful."
Mel - Aug 2022
"Stunning Lodge which was well equipped and modern. Beautiful surroundings. Staff so so helpful, nothing too much trouble, which really helped after a long car journey with our two young children. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for lovely quality modern accommodation, in a peaceful tranquil setting, with helpful staff. The only reason it didn't all receive a 10/10 was because mobile reception was quite poor from the lodge (likely due to the locations/hills/rural setting) and there was no pool or park or other facilities for children (perhaps why it was so peaceful!)."
Kathryn - Aug 2022
"We stayed in the Tissington Treehouse and found it absolutely perfect, it was spotlessly clean, comfortable and surprisingly spacious. Treats and a prezzie for our dog was a fabulous touch, being crazy dog people this really was a lovely gesture."
Jorgen - Aug 2022
"Had a fantastic holiday, management and staff were amazing. Close to different places of interest. Would definitely recommend"
Joanne - Aug 2022
"Very nice lodges, good grounds. We noticed a lack of facilities for kids, no play area, no green space to kick a ball etc. Also lacking walks for dogs local to the cabins crossing the road to the Tissington Trail was challenging, would be better in the local council installed footpaths either side of the A515. I am sure the site can push this issue."
Jon - Aug 2022
"Beautiful lodge, we loved our stay. Reception staff very helpful. Restaurant staff there was some room for improvement. We will definitely visit again."
Kylie - Aug 2022
"The lodge we has was beautiful. It faced away from the other lodges and looked out at the hedges and pool which was so peaceful and relaxing. The dog wash is a fabulous facility. We love that the area between and around lodges has been kept wild and we saw a great many birds which was fabulous and so peaceful and relaxing. The hot tub was checked twice a day and it was amazing! The lodge itself was very clean and all facilities fabulous - the only mark down is that the car park space for our lodge was quite a long walk from the lodge itself and the light in the dog wash only stayed on for about 30 seconds. Otherwise idyllic and perfect - we will be going back."
Janet - Aug 2022
"Beautiful lodge, with comfy beds and great facilities."
Carley - Aug 2022
"Had a lovely stay! Lodge was very spacious, clean and facilities were very good."
Carol - Jul 2022
