Hillcroft Park Reviews

"See earlier comments, for our particular family (our criteria is; rural/countryside, access to food and drink options without driving, access to local bus services, privacy) this accommodation was almost ideal other than would have preferred another bathroom. This wouldn't prevent us from rebooking, which we intend to do."
Mandy - Jun 2025
"Very comfy place, loved the cosy vibe!"
Ellie Carter - Dec 2024
"We stayed at this place recently and honestly, it was fantastic. The house has everything you could need and was super cosy, especially on that rainy December day. The bath was really lovely and the shower was spacious too. The locations great, especially if your dog hates fireworks - its so quiet out here! Plus, despite being near a flight path, we werent bothered at all. Thanks a lot!"
Harriet - Nov 2024
"What a lovely place! Rob, Sharon and Bonnie really make you feel at home with their warm welcome. The buildings history is preserved beautifully and the peaceful setting in Essex is perfect for relaxing. We enjoyed exploring Thaxted and the nearby villages - so much charm and history there. Goddard's Mead has everything we needed for a comfy stay. Definitely recommend taking some time to wander around and soak it all in!"
Linda Carter - Oct 2024
"Our Hillcroft Park review: Lovely lodge and so friendly Would recommend especially if like walks in lakes good food and tranquil surroundings"
RACHEL - Sep 2024
"Really enjoyed the peaceful vibe here, perfect for walks, lovely food and a super friendly atmosphere. Would return!"
Emily - Sep 2024
"Our Caravan we booked had a fault with the boiler so we were given a upgrade which was fabulous best we have ever stayed in."
Joan - Sep 2024
"Great stay, comfy lodges, everything we needed for a lovely getaway."
Emma - Sep 2024
"We had a really lovely stay at this place. The setting is so peaceful and private, perfect for relaxing. The owners were super friendly and always on hand if we needed anything, but the area still felt secluded. The hot tub was a real highlight after a long cycle day. A little heads up though: it's directly under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of noise from planes. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but if youre sensitive to noise, its worth knowing. Overall, a great spot!"
Raj - Sep 2024
"Really enjoyed our stay! The lodges were spotless and had everything we needed. Staff were super friendly and location was perfect. Highly recommend!"
Craig - Jul 2024
"Nicest holiday park. Ive ever stopped at"
Verified Guest - May 2024
"We had a really relaxing stay at Aspen Lodge. The place is super comfy and well kitted out. Loved the stunning countryside views from the front deck too!"
Caleb - May 2024
"Really enjoyed the stay"
Harper - May 2024
"We needed a dog walking getaway and it was spot on. Lovely place to stay, with great pubs and eateries just a short stroll. Lots of fields and off-road paths, the dog didnt want to leave! Definitely recommend."
Chris - Apr 2024
"Overall, a lovely stay! The lodge was cosy and well decorated, but we did notice the glass chopping board made the knives blunt. Still, highly recommend!"
Sarah - Apr 2024
"We had an amazing time at Goddards Mead! The cottage was perfect in every aspect. Can't wait to return!"
Mike - Feb 2024
"We had such a lovely time at this cottage! The place was super well-kept and had everything we needed. There are loads of dog walks right outside, which was perfect for our furry friends. The host was friendly and quick to reply and we really enjoyed meeting the farm animals - especially Penelope the pig! Well be back for sure, great value."
Lauren - Jan 2024
"Comfortable stay with all the essentials provided, really appreciated."
Charlotte - Dec 2023
"We loved staying here! The cottage really felt like a cosy home from home and the hot tub was definitely the cherry on top. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway."
Oliver - Nov 2023
"Very pleased with the stay, highly recommend it!"
Samira - Jun 2023
"We stayed here recently and found the location really handy, close to loads of good places to eat. We mainly just grabbed breakfast at the accommodation and then went out for the rest of the day. The hot tub was a nice touch, plus there was a big indoor and outdoor dining area if we needed it. The only downsides were no microwave or washing machine, which was a bit annoying. It was a bit pricey too, especially since check-in was only from 5pm, though they let us in a little earlier. We had to leave by 9am on the last day because of Covid restrictions. Parking was plentiful and we left the cars there while grabbing breakfast at a nearby cafe. Overall, a good spot and wed recommend both the place and the area."
James - Aug 2020
"Really enjoyed our trip to the lakes. The place was cosy and comfortable and well definitely return someday!"
Mark - Jul 2020
"The place looked exactly like the photos - really tidy and well-maintained. The hot tub was a highlight, checked daily and everything you need is there. Wed definitely return!"
Alex - Jul 2020
"Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was fantastic, definitely coming back soon!"
Sam - Mar 2020
"We had such a lovely time! The staff were genuinely warm and attentive, making us feel right at home. The perfect spot to relax and enjoy the views."
Margaret - Oct 2019
"We stayed at these lodges and honestly, theyre fantastic. Everything was spotless and super comfy. Felt just like being at home. The staff were so friendly and really went out of their way to help us. The locations perfect too. Wed definitely recommend these to anyone!"
Martin - Oct 2019
"Great vibe, would come back"
Jamie - Oct 2019
"The lodge was perfect, just a short walk downhill to Pooley Bridges centre. Great for walks around Ullswater too. We loved the pet-friendly vibe and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend it!"
Claire - Sep 2019
"We recently stayed at Meadowcroft Cottage for a quick getaway and honestly, it was lovely. The place was spotless, with cosy furnishings and top-quality bedding that made us feel right at home. The bathroom was great and the log burner added a nice touch for chilly evenings. The kitchen had everything we needed, which was handy. A really kind gesture was the bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived - much appreciated! The hot tub was fantastic, always spotless and well looked after. Its just a short walk to Pooley Bridge, which is a charming spot. The reception and shop are very close by, making everything super convenient. The site itself was immaculate, with friendly staff who made us feel welcome. Wed definitely stay here again!"
Sophie - Sep 2019
"Very comfortable and peaceful"
Tom Bennett - Jul 2019
"Just returned from a 5 night stay in the Dorchester lodge. The location of the site is perfect for a stroll into Pooley Bridge and lots of lovely walks around the area. Friendly staff and well maintained site. Would highly recommend."

Craig - Jul 2022
"Beautiful immaculately clean lodge with everything you could need for your holiday. You always worry staying in pet friendly accommodation but not here it was sparkling. The grounds are amazing.The whole site is so well looked after. Short walk into Pooley bridge with enough pub/restaurants to visit albeit they seem to have the same menus. A bit of variety would be nice ."

Attractions Near Hillcroft Park

Here are some of the activities and experiences you can enjoy on your visit to Hillcroft Park. If you discover a worthy inclusion to this list on your hot tub break, please let us know and we'll add it so that other visitors can enjoy it too.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 7 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 13 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 17 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP
about 20 Miles
This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out.  You can explore the fantastic art collection including Fine Art, Decorative Art and Textiles.  If you love nature then this aspect of Tullie House will appeal. The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files.  We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - LA6 1JH
about 28 Miles
Located in the Milnthorpe area of Cumbria we love this local attraction.  With an eclectic mix of fascinating wildlife and hands on displays this centre is educational as well as fun.  You can wander around at leisure admiring the exhibits which range from chameleons to computers. Some of the most threatened species are kept at the park as part if international breeding programmes.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs which are great value for money.  There are discounts for pre-booked parties of 12 or more.
South Lakes Safari Zoo - LA12 0LU
about 33 Miles

This is an amazing Cumbria attraction well known locally as well as nationally for how close you can get to the animals.  Described as the most interactive animal park in Europe it's well worth a visit if you are staying in the area.  Open from April to end October some of the highlights are the tigers, penguins, bears, hippos and rhinos.  At 2pm during certain seasons it's feeding time so don't forget to plan your day around this so you can watch the animals enjoying their feed.  Look out for seasonal events such as Halloween Zoo Boo (free entry for kids in fancy dress) and The Magic of Christmas.

Happy Mount Park - LA4 5AQ
about 36 Miles
Happy Mount Park has attractions for the whole family including several play areas, a miniature railway, crazy golf, putting green and trampolines, there is also a paddling pool where the little ones can splash around in the summer and a café where the adults can relax with a drink. During the summer months and especially during school holidays live music can often be enjoyed.
