"Lovely spot, would definitely visit again"
"Really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, would definitely come back."
"Absolutely loved every bit"
"We stayed in this lodge and honestly, its really quite lovely. Plenty of space for just the two of us and the open plan layout makes it feel even bigger. The bedroom has good storage and a nice dressing area. The bathrooms large, with a walk-in shower and the outside decking with chairs is perfect for relaxing. Overall, a great spot for a cosy getaway!"
"Our Gadlas Park Holiday Cabins review: We stayed at this lodge recently and honestly, its a lovely spot. The decor is super modern and stylish and everything you might need is there. The living space is really spacious and comfy, perfect for relaxing after a day out. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated too, each with its own bathroom and the main one even has a dressing room - fancy! The location is peaceful, sitting beside a charming fishing lake with plenty of wildlife to watch, which made our mornings really nice. The lodges are spaced out well, so you dont feel crowded. The covered jacuzzi was a lifesaver with all this unpredictable rain lately - we used it every day! Plus, there are loads of restaurants nearby and the Ellesmere Mere is perfect for a gentle walk. Wed definitely come back!"
"We really enjoyed our stay and managed to do everything we wanted, especially walking the dog and relaxing away from busy work. The hot tub was perfect after a long day. Communication before our arrival was super helpful, which made things easier. The only thing was, the site wasnt very dog-friendly - our pup had to stay on a lead all the time, even in the garden. Itd be nice if they offered a little alternative for dogs to relax on."
"I had a great weekend with friends at this place. The location was stunning and everything we needed was there. The lodge was incredibly clean and super comfy. Honestly, Id recommend it to anyone. Well be returning for sure!"
"We stayed at this lovely lodge in such a beautiful spot and honestly, its really charming. However, a few things did bother us. The lack of a washing machine and dishwasher was a bit of a hassle-having to wear a wet swimsuit back into the hot tub isnt ideal! Also, some of the flooring, especially in the kitchen, needs a bit of attention. We werent happy about staff entering the lodge without letting us know; a quick heads-up wouldve been appreciated. The bin area was muddy and unsafe to walk through, which was a bit off-putting. If these issues were sorted, wed definitely consider giving it five stars!"
"We had a fantastic time from the beginning to the end, can't wait for next year!"
"Overall, the stay was great, but having proper glassware for drinks in the lodge would be a bonus."
"Really enjoyed the weekend. The lodge was fantastic and the park itself was simply stunning! Can't wait to return."
"Great experience, definitely returning soon."
"Really enjoyed our stay, will return!"
"Great vibe, friendly staff, will visit again soon!"
"Really well worth it"
"Really loved the cabin, honestly couldn't find a single fault with it."
"The lodge was absolutely lovely, way more than we thought it would be. The scenery around it was breathtaking and the hot tub was perfect-nice and warm when we got there. Definitely recommend it and were already planning to come back!"
"We really enjoyed our stay overall, but the lack of WiFi was a bit frustrating. Wed love to come back and stay longer, but without reliable internet, its tricky to handle work stuff. Still, the place was lovely and wed recommend it!"
"Very enjoyable break. The lodge was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed."
"We stayed in the Sandringham Lodge 2 adults 2 children, lodge was beautiful can not fault lovely additional welcome wine and chocolates, hot tub was amazing loved that it was also covered so it didn't matter when it was raining (which it did quite alot)
Surrounding lodges also looked lovely and the ducks were very cute.
Area is lovely however not much to do when the weather is not the best buy wouldn't put me off returning.
Nice pubs, a couple of supermarkets, and parks all within driving range also a few good public swimming baths within about 20 min drive
Overall would recommend"
"Property is stunning, beautiful little touches on arrival, home from home for the week. Tesco is local but so try and shop local within the local town. Staff were friendly and helpful and a positive addition to the location. Only feedback is the high ceilings had cobwebs (it’s in the woods so expected) and the check in and out times were not ideal but appreciate the time it takes to clean and maintain the cleaning standards."
"Beautiful surroundings was lovely waking up to the view of the water and the ducks. Cabin was lovely inside clean and had everything we needed including a bottle of fizz, chocolates and jams left in the fridge would definitely stay again."
"Gadlas Park is a hidden gem. Very quiet country location with just lodges on site, it is the perfect spot for relaxation. The lodge was beautiful with lovely finishings and was extremely clean. The welcome pack was a nice touch. Would recommend."
"Lovely cabin really quiet and in a great location, really clean and spacious and the hot tub is great the kids loved it, had most things we needed in the cabin for the week"
"Wow wow wow was amazing I’ve been to many places this was clean( wife is a cleaner) and she was amazed shame We couldn’t stay longer but really loved the peace and quiet the lodge itself was top of the crop xxx"
"Brilliant holiday, very quiet and great location. Couldn't fault the cleanliness of the cabin. This is our second time at Gadlas Park and will definitely be back again"
