Ford Farm Lodges

"A good all round lodge, no complaints"

"The lodge was fully equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday. It even had a dishwasher and washing machine with a line and pegs, it's the little details and items you generally wouldn't think about"

"The accommodation is modern, clean and well presented. My lodge also had a hot tub, which was great to use after a day visiting the local area. The kitchen is well equipped but there is very little space to place anything you bring with you that doesn't go in the fridge. The bedroom and bathroom are nice rooms."

"The lodge was brilliant. The furniture was comfortable, as was the best. The place was clean and tidy on arrival and the Apple Juice which was left, from a farm in the area was lovely and a great touch. The hot tub was great and was tested twice a day to ensure the water cleanliness was good, which is great to see happening."

"Our Ford Farm Lodges review: The perfect place for a perfect peaceful escape. Would highly recommend. Picturesque beauty spot taking you away from the everyday hustle and bustle, a proper little haven. Information from the proprietors pre arrival was first class, would highly recommend these lodges you will not be disappointed."

"The size is quite adequate for two people. Next time we might try one of the larger lodges with a little more space."

"The lodge was great, plenty of space around the lodge and only 10 lodges in total at the farm which meant it really felt like you was away from everything. The beds were really comfortable and we had everything we could have possibly needed. The internet was really great too which was an added bonus for our son!"

"Lovely lodge dog friendly but you wouldn't know there had been a dog there. So clean and fresh. A biscuits and dog towel provided ????"

"Great stay! The lodge was spotless, comfy bed and the hot tub worked perfectly."

"Really enjoyed it, super relaxing and fun."

"We had a fantastic Christmas escape! The lodges were spotless, super cosy and had everything we needed. Definitely a place wed come back to in the summer! Highly recommend!"

"Wonderful stay over Christmas! Lodges were comfortable, very clean and cosy. They include everything you need for your stay. Highly recommend!!! Would deffo return in the summer"

"Dymock Spa is a lovely self contained, clean and comfortable relaxing lodge. It has everything you need if you want to eat in, the lounge and bedroom were both comfortable and it was spotless on arrival."

"We stayed at Dymock Spa and honestly, its a gem! The place is spotless, super comfy and perfect if you just want to relax. Everything you need for a cosy night in is right there. Would definitely return!"

"Lovely peaceful stay"

"Very relaxing experience"

"We booked a four-night weekend stay at the Berkeley Elite Spa lodge through Hoseasons and overall, it was a pretty lovely getaway. Checking in was super smooth thanks to the key safe - no fuss at all, which we really appreciated after a long drive. The welcome pack was thoughtful, with a glass of apple juice, some treats for the dogs and handy info about local vets and shops. The lodge itself was beautifully decorated, spacious and kept cosy thanks to the underfloor heating and log burner. The hot tub was a real highlight, especially since the site isnt brightly lit at night, so we could sit in the hot tub and stargaze, with the peaceful stream nearby adding to the relaxing vibe. The site was quiet, perfect for unwinding and a good base to explore the Malvern Hills, Ross on Wye and Ledbury - all worth the visit. We also tried China Boy Jo in Ross on Wye on the recommendation and it was absolutely delicious. The WiFi was surprisingly good and the smart TV was a bonus; we brought our fire stick and had no buffering issues like in previous places. Only a couple of minor things - the oven was a bit tricky to figure out without instructions and if you have a dog, just be aware the area behind the lodge isnt fully secure, so your furry friends might run off. Still, we wouldnt hesitate to recommend this place; it gave us the relaxing break we were after. Definitely a spot wed visit again!"

"Perfect holiday would definitely go back.Peaceful quiet and nice surroundings. It is a beautiful place to stay"

"Really enjoyed our stay here, the lodge was spotless and super modern. Facilities were spot on, would return!"

"We recently spent a week at Lodge 3 and honestly, it was fantastic. The place was huge, spotless and had everything we could ask for. The peaceful surroundings made it even better. The little touches like the apple juice and jute bag were a lovely surprise. Definitely coming back and recommending it to friends!"

"Great spot to base ourselves from!"

"Really enjoyed the weekend, Sharon and Will are lovely people"

"We had such a lovely time at Goddards Mead! The cottage was perfect in every aspect. Can't wait to return!"

"We just got back from a fantastic four-night stay at this cottage. The owners were really friendly and approachable, but they kept their distance, which was perfect. The fenced garden was a big plus for our dog and the cottage had everything we needed - no missing bits. We even enjoyed a barbecue one evening. The hot tub was amazing! Wed definitely come back and already told our friends about it. Thanks for a lovely break!"

"We had a lovely stay at the lodge. It was spotless and really well-kept, which we appreciated. The central heating worked fine, but we ended up relying more on the electric heater since the central system kept shutting off. There was plenty of storage in the kitchen and bathroom, so no complaints there. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the lack of plug sockets in the bedrooms - couldnt dry my hair properly because there wasnt a socket behind the dressing table, so I had to carry everything into the kitchen. Still, the beds were comfy and everyone got a good sleep!"

"We had a lovely stay in this cosy little spot, nestled in a peaceful, secluded area. The hosts were super friendly and always available if we needed anything, but it still felt private. The hot tub was a real treat after long bike rides! The only thing to note is that the cottage is quite close to Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a few hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt ruin our holiday. Would definitely recommend!"

"Simple, cosy and perfectly kept"

"We had a lovely 4-night getaway with the kids and our dog in such a peaceful spot. The countryside around Ford Farm Lodges is absolutely stunning, perfect for a relaxing break. Malcolm and Martyn were genuinely friendly and super helpful, making us feel really welcome from the start. The lodge had everything we needed-fresh flowers in the lounge, nice touches like coffee, tea and milk pods, plus outdoor furniture on the porch. Honestly, we wish we couldve stayed longer, maybe a whole week next time!"

"Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was cosy and perfect for family time."

"The spot is fantastic and the location couldn't be better. The place itself was really comfortable and theres plenty to do nearby. We had a lovely time!"

"Peaceful location in the pretty Gloucestershire countryside. The lodge was well decorated, immaculately clean and everything worked as it should. Toiletries, bin bags, toilet roll and washing up equipment were provided along with tea towels. This is one of the best self catering lodges I have stayed in.

There is one pub in reasonable walking distance where we had a good meal and this was a good base for us to visit Ross on Wye, WWT Slimbridge, Gloucester, Monmouth and Little Dean Jail."

"Perfectly situated to enjoy the Welsh Marches and Gloucestershire. Very comfortable lodge in an extremely quiet environment offering perfect and comfortable nights sleep."

"An excellent place to stay, Sharon (The Wardon) was very helpful and professional. The lodge we stayed in was clean and of a high standard, I would book a lodge there again in the future, a perfect retreat overall."

"Wow. One big chill out."

"Great Lodge, in a very quiet and relaxing location. The lodge had everything we needed for our weekend away. The lodge was clean and tidy. We had a amazing weekend as a family and was perfectly located for us to visit all the places we planned to visit in the Cotswolds and surrounding area. Could not of asked for more!!"

"Had great time, particularly loved hot tub."

"Sharon was a fantastic host, she could not have done more for us. The lodges were clean and fairly well equipped. The site was so peaceful and quiet. The cleaners were also fantastic. Can not speak too highly of the staff here. We will definitely be back."

"We had a fantastic stay at Ford Farm Lodges (we were in Kilcot Elite Spa 2, at the very end of the site). The lodge and site were immaculately kept. Sharon (the manager) and staff were all so friendly and helpful, with great suggestions on local walks and where to eat. The hot tub was excellent and much needed for aching joints after long walks!

The nearest town, Newent, is two miles away and has a well-stocked Co-Op and Spar. The surrounding area is beautiful, with local walks straight from the lodge possible and the Malvern Hills, Wye Valley (visit Symonds Yat, it's a must!) and the heart of the Forest of Dean all only a few miles away. The only slight disappointment (and in no way related to the lodge owners) was the terrible state of parts of the local footpaths -- overgrown with nettles and/or brambles, broken styles and missing signs were all evident - some paths we simply had to give up on -- shame on the local councils for allowing this to happen! In contrast, the paths on and around the Malvern Hills and Wye valley were excellent.

For eating out, we would recommend the Kilcot Inn (a 1 mile walk from the lodge), Alma Inn, Linton (a pleasant 2 mile walk from the lodge down very quiet country roads, also, walk back along ''The Ridge' for excellent views), The Kings Arms, Newent, and if you fancy excellent Nepalese food, 'The Roadhouse', Gorsley (a 1 1/2 mile walk from the lodge)

We shall certainly be returning to this lodge site! Highly recommend :)"

"I have stayed in a lot of lodges and this one was by far the best. Immaculate inside and spacious and clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful went the Extra mile to help us settle in"

"A wonderful and enjoyable stay.Sharon was just so welcoming.Peace and tranquility in a comfortable, clean modern lodge.Thank you for being so kind and helpful to us (and the dog) making our stay " Just Perfect"."

"Spacious, clean lodge in a beautiful quiet location."

"Had a fantastic time every think you need for a getaway"

"Fabulous lodge, was extremely clean and exactly as described. Lovely little park and immaculate grounds. Would definately use again."
