We had a lovely Christmas at Hampton Lodge . It was tastefully decorated and very cosy. The views are anazing with just fields and sheep all around. The hot tub was a real bonus and was well used. Barbara was really lovely and very helpful. Would definitely recommend and hopefully we will return again.
We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful lodge! It's so thoughtfully designed spacious and has everything you need for a perfect escape away. The hot tub was a real highlight large, relaxing and overlooking a peaceful field with sheep which made it feel so tranquil and special. Barbara the owner was absolutely lovely and couldn't have been more helpful we'll definitely be coming back highly recommend!
Perfect late summer holiday with friends. Loved everything about this lodge ......well isolated and no light intrusion ,so perfect for star gazing particularly from the hot tub !All rooms comfortable and cosy.The lodge is very well equipped....has everything you would need. Ellsmere is a charming little town where we were made welcome. Sunday lunch at The Boat is a must and also The Sun Pub worth a visit. I would be very happy to return .
Hampton Lodge is private, quiet, comfortable and spacious. The owners are lovely people, friendly and helpful. My family and I enjoyed the peace and the hot tub the most. Thank you for a wonderful break.
We had a very nice week in the Lodge. It was perfect, well equipped, plenty of towels and places to hang them to dry and the jacuzzi was the best I ever been too. Absolutely perfect!
An enjoyable stay for 7 adults and one baby for a week in August 2025. The grounds are extensive and provided lovely strolls with a cup of tea in the morning. The privacy was lovely, using the hot tub and sports areas without worrying about noise. The cabin facilities were fine for a week and Barbara came out and fixed a door for us with no problem. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be staying again. Recommended days out to Chester and Chester Zoo. Pete's bakery in Ellesmere is lovely too, especially the sausage rolls.
Me and my friends came as three couples to this amazing lodge, we stayed for three nights and didnt know what to expect, the property was amazing and so quiet and you were left alone in peace. The woman who introduced herself to us was called Barbera and she was lovely which made the stay even better and she gave us a lot of tips and recommendations on what to do for our stay. We done some activities and just enjoyed the area and the lodge. We went to The Mere which was beautiful. Overall we got to spend quality time together in a lovely lodge which is out the way and very comfortable, spacious and affordable. We all loved our time away and would definitely recommend it to anyone! Im sure we will be back again as everything went so well and smoothly.
A wonderful stay in a luxury lodge and very tastefully decorated for our Christmas break!
Very comfortable, quiet, wellequipped chalet. Responsive, friendly hosts Highly recommended.
Our family of 6 had a wonderful stay at Hampton lodge it really was beautiful. An amazing way to start our summer holidays. The lodge is very spacious and has everything you would need for a week away from home. The children loved picking out there rooms and playing outside, watching the sun set from the decking and taking a dip in the hot tub after long days out. The owners really have thought about everything and you can tell just how much work an love they have put into this lodge. The cake was also very tasty so thank you for that.
Homely place to stay with accommodating and friendly owners.
Hampton Lodge is sitiuated as seen on the publcity in the middle of nowhere seemingly, until floodlighting appears at the foot of selected trees at nightfall! Creatively positioned, and designed internally also, The Lodge supplies everything to ensure a most enchanting and yet practical stay for a week. Versatile, adaptable and deliciously welcoming every day. Gloriously relaxing experience.
Beautiful lodge and setting. Warm welcome from owner, cake was lovely. Only a tiny thing but the lighting was a little dim, especially over the dining table at night. Would absolutely recommend it for a family stay.
We had an amazing holiday at Hampton Lodge. We came with our four adult children and two of their partners, so although we wanted to spend time together, we still needed the lodge to be big enough so we didn't feel on top of one another, and Hampton Lodge provided this. The lodge genuinely felt big enough for eight adults, with enough sofa space and space at the dining table for everyone. We couldn't fault the lodge, it was just perfect in every way and we had a lovely stay. It was exactly as advertised on Sykes, and the little extras like board games, badminton set, and table tennis ensured we always had plenty to do. The hot tub being under the veranda was great as it meant we could continue to enjoy it even when the weather was not great. We also couldn't have asked for a better location and there was plenty to do in the local area. We visited the aqueduct, hired a canal boat for the day, visited Hawkstone Park Follies and went white water rafting. Barbara was a great host, welcoming us with her amazing cake and providing lots of information about things to do nearby. All in all this is probably the best accommodation we have stayed in and everyone in our family had a great time, the week just flex by. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and I don't believe anyone would regret booking Hampton Lodge for their holiday.
If I could give 10 stars I would, this lodge is perfectly located in seclusion and offers a sense of privacy & luxury away from the world. We spent one week with our 3 boys 1 under 2, 2 approaching teenagers and we were able to facilitate everyone's needs and enjoyment thanks to the well planned lodge layout and facilities. On top of that, Barbara who is quite clearly a legend, was very helpful in ensuring we had what we needed and we very much enjoyed chatting to her. The hydrotherapy hot tub is large and helped me with a joint condition I am currently recovering from. Our older boys loved the hot tub, badminton net and area to kick a football around. All in all given our busy family, we had the best week we could thanks to this place & would very much recommend it.
Perfect weekend getaway in the countryside with friends at the Hampton Lodge. Barbara was very welcoming and the cake on arrival was a really nice touch!
The best holiday weve had in years. Hampton Lodge was fantastic and had everything we needed to enjoy a 5 star holiday. Cant recommend Hampton lodge highly enough. We will defiantly be back!
Lovely quiet secluded location, the lodge and facilities are excellent, lovely ... Lovely quiet secluded location, the lodge and facilities are excellent, lovely owners that leave you to enjoy your break but are close by if needed, will definitely return and rebook this lodge, you won't be disappointed
