Ashlea Pools Lodges Reviews

"The surrounding area is beautiful and full of wild life. The Lodge was clean and well supplied with kitchen equipment. The Cafe/Pizzeria is a 100% must try with probably the best milkshakes i've ever had. Everything is decently priced and not over priced.There is a shop part of the cafe also with any supplies you might have forgotten to bring!On a whole it was a great little break away and hopefully will be back again"

"We had a fantastic time at Ashlea Pools! The lodges are super cosy and really well equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. The hot tubs are always spotless and relaxing after a day out. The site itself is beautifully maintained, with a lovely little cafe that turns into a pizzeria four nights a week, which was a nice touch. The staff are friendly and always quick to help with anything. Weve been twice and cant wait to go back again!"

The hot tub was a lovely treat after daily explorations, perfect for unwinding after five busy months at work. Well definitely be back to enjoy more!"
Jamie & Sam - Jul 2024
"Really enjoyed the stay here"
Ellie Carter - May 2024
"We had a really lovely stay at this cosy place tucked away in a peaceful spot. The owners were super friendly and always happy to help without intruding on our privacy. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long day of cycling - so relaxing! Just a heads up, the cottages right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but its worth knowing if you're sensitive to noise. Overall, a great find!"
Raj - May 2023
"Really good, would recommend it"
Tommy - May 2022
"We had a really relaxing break, with plenty to do nearby and on-site for everyone."
