Rudyard Lake Lodges Reviews

"Very nice , clean and spacious."

"Great space, very tidy and lovely."

"A few things need replacing but overall its lovely"

"We had a lovely stay! The lodge was spotless and well-kept, with plenty of amenities. The hot tub was a real highlight and sitting outside listening to the birds was so relaxing."

"Our Rudyard Lake Lodges review: We had a really lovely stay at this lodge, set in such a peaceful spot. Watching all the different birds flock to the feeder was a real treat for us. The place was spotless and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need - it felt very homely. We also appreciated the three towels per person and the hand towels in each shower. My only tiny gripe is that in-shower non-slip mats wouldve been a good idea, especially since one of us is 86. But all in all, a great place to unwind!"

"We had such a lovely weekend at Heronsview recently, its our second visit and weve already booked for next February. The lodge really does feel like a cosy, authentic Norwegian retreat, perfect for winter stays. The new hot tub is a real highlight - it comfortably fits six and the music and lighting add a special touch. The fairy lights that turn on after dark create such a nice atmosphere, we really loved that. Although the lodge is dog-friendly, we decided not to bring ours this time, but the garden is big and secure, ideal for small or medium dogs. Theres also a pretty meadow right outside that our two dogs will enjoy next time. Matt and Mark, the owners, are so welcoming and always happy to help - theyre easy to get hold of if you need anything. Overall, we had a fantastic family weekend and are already looking forward to coming back!"

"Weve stayed at Watersview a few times now, so we knew what to expect about the site - its really lovely and peaceful. We decided to try Watersview again even though some reviews mentioned it needing a bit of an update; honestly, we were quite happy with it! The inside of the lodges is quite cosy, with lots of wood and modern bathrooms and kitchens. That said, theres no wifi and the fire was broken when we visited, so that was a bit of a letdown. The decking could also do with a stain. A tip: bring a hairdryer and extra towels if youre using the hot tub. We enjoyed our stay anyway!"

"Really enjoyed the stay, felt welcomed with thoughtful little touches throughout the place. Will return!"

"Great experience, definitely repeat"

"Really enjoyed our stay"

"We recently stayed at this lodge and honestly, the location is stunning and the lodge itself was quite cosy and comfy. We loved the peaceful surroundings, but unfortunately, our trip was marred a bit by the ongoing building work since there were quite a few vans and workers around during our five days. We werent warned about this beforeh and, which was a bit disappointing. The hot tub was nice to have, but it kept losing its temperature and got cold pretty quickly, which was a shame. We did appreciate the staffs friendliness; they said we could contact them if the hot tub problem persisted, but by the time we got in at night, it was usually too late. On the plus side, the lady who greeted us was very welcoming and even texted us directions to avoid getting lost - that was really helpful. Also, they allowed us to check in a few hours early, which was a nice touch. One thing that left a bad impression was the initial phone call - the guy I spoke to was quite rude, almost dismissive and said he didnt really know why his number was listed as he didnt handle much. Overall, despite the noise and hot tub issues, we enjoyed our stay and would consider going back."

"Great experience, would definitely recommend to others!"

"We had such a lovely stay at Meadowview in May. The owner rang us on the day we arrived to share some extra directions, which was really helpful and then greeted us personally when we got there. The lodge was spotless and felt really cosy, like a home away from home. The little touches from the owners, like a welcome card, chocolates by the beds and small bottles of wine, really made our experience special. Plus, its pet friendly with a secure garden for the dog to run around freely. Were already planning to come back!"

"We had an awesome stay! The hot tub and log burner really made it special. Plenty of fun board games to keep us entertained. Everything from the appliances to the furniture felt top-notch. Beautiful walks around the lake and Leeks just a quick drive with a Morrisons nearby. Definitely recommend!"

"Really enjoyed our stay, lovely place and friendly staff."

"We had a really relaxing holiday, largely thanks to the lovely accommodation. It was spotless, comfy and private - perfect for unwinding. The hot tub was an absolute treat after some lovely but challenging walks. The place had two bedrooms, one with a king and the other with big singles. Would definitely stay again!"

"Nice place, would come again"

"The lodge was stunning and had absolutely everything we could need. We definitely want to come back. The hot tub was a real highlight to unwind after a busy day!"

"We found everything we could possibly need, along with some lovely touches like games and DVDs. The place was stylish and relaxing and the hot tub was just perfect at the end of the day!"

"Weve noticed that the high standards have been consistently maintained on every visit! It's great to see such attention to detail and quality. Keeps us coming back for more."

"We would drop a few points on the furniture and fittings since the DVD player and TV remotes didn't work. But aside from that, we love it!"

"The Lodge was excellent, really well furnished and super comfortable. The cleanliness of the outside decking wasn't so great and that's why we've knocked a point off. The main hassle with the property was getting into the drive with a car, as it was a very narrow turning and road for a larger car.!"

"We had a lovely relaxing stay at Rudyard lake lodge. Owners are friendly and helpful. Area is lovely, peaceful and easy to get to the lake for beautiful walks."

"Lovely and relaxing. Accommodation clean tidy and provides everything you could need. Home from home. Nice little touches as well."

"A beautiful lodge. Covered over hot tub and seating area so can still be used if it rains. The owners go above and beyond to make sure the lodge has everything you need for a lovely break."

"We've just returned from a wonderful 3-night stay at Rudyard Lake Lodges (we stayed at Heronsview).
The location is gorgeous, and there is so much to do if you want an action-packed break, but you can also have a brilliantly relaxing time too. In a quiet and serene setting, it's a very short walk to Rudyard Lake and all the amenities there and a 5-minute drive from Leek.
We were surprised, but delighted, when we received a text 4 hours before our official check-in time to let us know that the lodge was ready and we were welcome to arrive whenever was best for us. The owner was fantastic - really friendly and helpful, with great tips on places to visit too.
The goats in the field opposite were the icing on the cake!"

"We loved our stay."

"Well equipped lodge with lovely owners. Lots of extras to make your stay comfortable. Towels, robes for the hot tub, toiletries etc. Great location with lovely walks."

"Cosy lodge in a lovely location. Lodge has everything you could possibly need. Easy access to the Peak District. Would definitely recommend."

"The location of this lodge is lovely. The lodge is fabulous with everything to make your stay perfect."

"Very enjoyable weekend at the lodge. Accommodation and surroundings suited our needs perfectly with two babies in the group. Would recommend to friends and family for a lovely relaxing getaway."

"Very relaxing break, the little gestures were lovely, definitely will be returning."

"Beautiful area and the lodge had everything we required"

"Stunning property and views, very clean and tidy, every appliance needed. Very friendly owners, I would highly recommend!"

"Key was left in keysafe and folder in lodge explained everything so didn’t actually see anyone."
