"Great lodge but the hot tub not working on all the jets, the electric fire needs the fire effect looking at, besides that a well presented and perfectly located. Thank you."

"Our Thanet Well Lodge Retreat review: One of the older lodges on site but superbly clean and well maintained.Had a small niggle with the hot tub but it was sorted super quickly Very spacious"

"I have stayed here before love the place very quiet staff excellent for poor Wi-Fi. This needs to be addressed."

"The only thing we needed was a reclining chair as my disabled husband really struggled to get on and off the settee, also getting around to the patio was not possible as could not get past the table and chairs"

"Well equipped but basic. Some of the furniture looking a bit tired, but very comfortable"

"Moved from before arrival form lodge 15 to an owners lodge no 4 as hot tub broken for three weeks . Lodge 4 is stunning and in a great location and was very comfy but has maintenance issues and needs high level dusting in places .En-suite shower valve is faulty and dangerous can only have a safe shower turning water temp down on boiler .Drain for on en-suite sink loose and not screw connected so leaked on floor until pushed back in .Fridge defrost drain blocked and floods base of chiller cabinet .Shelves in fridge door broken and stuck with tape and too weak to hold items Steps need stonework repairing as loose and dangerous trip hazard.Ceiling lights in lounge and tall lampIn dining area need a good forms and dust as like feltIron washing had to for an to use and boiler cupboard needs a deep clean Smoke detector looks older then the 10Years they recommend and was weak so borrowed from reception may need replacing. Needs proper wifi , owner should provide a dongle or full broadband and not say go to reception its a luxury lodge and should have wifi.Reported all Issues to reception but no direct contact with owner so unsure how often they check it over Loved the lodge but missed out on being 10/10 or excellent due to above"

"The lodge was clean and tidy, however could do with an update in areas."

"Had a great time, lodge was lovely, starting to look a little bit dated but still lovely and clean, beds were comfortable, not much elbow room in the en suite shower, everything you need for a break away, staff were brilliant, very pleasant"

"Overall great management"

"Our third stay as a group at Thanet Well lodges. Weve stayed in a different lodge each time but all have been great for our stay: clean, relatively well equipped and spacious. We had a few hiccups around missing dining room furniture (only 4 chairs in a 6 person lodge), tripped fuses (pesky toaster) and a surprise drained hot tub (oops) but nothing was too much hassle for the team who were happy to help and get everything sorted for us. The photos on the website dont quite translate to the lodge you stay in - so manage your own expectation when you walk through the door. Its never been an issue because the lodge has been suited for us but there are certainly differences. We love this site, we love the view, the location is ideal and we will absolutely be back again. Weve recommended to friends and will continue to do so - thank you!"

"Nice place, would visit again"

"We recently stayed at Thanet Lodge Well Retreat and honestly, it was a lovely escape. The views are breathtaking, with fields and mountains all around, making it super peaceful and scenic. The lodges are spotless, modern and well-equipped - everything we needed was there, from comfy beds to warm showers. Heating was straightforward to control, which is a plus. They even provide dishwasher tablets, sponges and dish soap, so no fuss there, though we did bring some antibacterial wipes just in case. The hot tub was a highlight - always clean, checked daily and perfect temperature, with stunning vistas to enjoy. Location-wise, its good, with some nice pubs nearby like Odd Fellows Arms. All in all, a really pleasant few days away in a lovely place."

"We had a great 4-night stay, honestly felt just like being at home. There were a couple of maintenance hiccups, but when I called reception, the plumber arrived almost immediately, which was handy. Apart from that, we all really enjoyed ourselves. Definitely planning to book again soon and already recommending it to family and friends!"

"Very relaxing, would recommend it."

"Lovely peaceful and well equipped"

"Fabulous! just short of coat hangers."

"Nice spot, but the lodges getting a bit tired, especially the boiler."

"Great location lodge showing wear and tear especially the boiler"

"The cabin was really lovely and the views took our breath away. Cabin 3 was super tidy and felt more like a cosy little bungalow. Definitely recommend it!"

"Please find attachedWe stayed in Thanet Well Lodge Retreat over this weekend for a nice weekend get away with friends. The staff were helpful when it came to planning activities/ things to do in the area. However there were a few things which did take us all by surprise whilst we stayed.When we first entered the lodge the heating was set on 12c which for 8pm on a wet rainy night isnt the most welcoming of temperature. We noticed the heating was on timer settings which really didnt help the situation. The lodge took a long time to heat up then as soon as it became almost a pleasant temperature the timer would turn off. The whole of our stay me and my friends slept with another duvet ontop of the bed to help remain warm. Its a good job we had all brought thermals because we didnt take them off the whole time The facilitys in the lodge all worked perfectly the only fault I will mention which became quite annoying throughout the stay was the draw handles/knobs kept coming off the draws. Not to mention the paint work continued to peel off the cupboards which made the place look a bit tacky.The final bother we were dealt with was the fact there was no real house keeping popping in to make the beds or change the towels. Or even top up the toilet paper! We were 5 lady lodgers who shared only 2 rolls of toilet paper, when we asked we were told we have to pay for toilet roll to get topped up. The overall experience was great but our actual stay / accommodation wasnt up to the standards of which I experienced when I stayed with yourselves 2 years ago."

"Lovely lodge, spacious clean and tidy"

"Really enjoyed our stay there."

"We stayed with a group of six ladies and really enjoyed our time. The place was super clean and tidy and the rooms were quite spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed and the towels and bedding were fresh. Only small gripe was the radiator dust, which could do with a quick clean. When it snowed, it looked stunning, but the high winds blew the hot tub cover off. We reported it but it wasnt fixed, so we only used it on the first night."

"6 ladies on a walking weekend, clean,. tidy, spacious accommodation may be radiator could.do with dust blown from them in the grid. .kitchen well equipped, clean towels, bedding .Only problem we had it snowed which was gorgeous but with the high winds the top.blew off the hot tub we did report it but it was not fixed so only used the hot tub on the 1st night of a 3 night stay."

"The lodge was fantastic, really spacious for our hyper cocker spaniel puppy to zoom around. The decking was secure and the hot tub was perfectly positioned, so it didnt spoil the view. Very clean and well-stocked with towels too."

"Enjoyed it very much, would definitely return"
