Charlotte
May 2025

"We loved our stay! The place was super cosy and had a modern vibe. The only thing was the leather sofa-so we ended up watching TV from bed, which worked fine. Overall, it was a really beautiful spot, no complaints at all!"

George
Apr 2025

"We stayed at a lovely lodge, super clean and really well presented. The only hiccup was trying to figure out the touch screen oven. Being not exactly tech-savvy, we spent ages fiddling with it and in the end, just ordered a takeaway instead! Itd be great if they had some simple instructions or a quick guide for folks like us who arent so comfortable with modern gadgets. Still, overall, a great stay!"

Sarah
Apr 2025

"We had a fantastic time! The lodge exceeded our expectations - it was so spacious and spotless. Being in a group of four, we appreciated how comfy and airy it felt. Definitely a place wed return to without hesitation. Highly recommend!"

Amelia

"We really enjoyed our stay! Perfect spot for bringing bikes to explore the Tissington Trail. The lodges are spotless and modern, definitely recommend it."

Emma Carter
Mar 2025

"Our Rivendale Lodge Retreat review: 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!"

Sam

"The lodge was really spacious and had everything we needed, including a built-in wine cooler-lovely touch!"
