"Lovely lodge , great hot tub , very peaceful"
"The caravan was very nice just had a awful smell so we had to leave the windows open day and night"
"Review given on previous page"
"It could be better because we had to get another hotel as no transport for half an hours walk"
"Our Rookery Manor Lodges review: Another amazing restful week at Rookery Manor Lodges. The lodges are well equipped with everything you need home from home. Whilst the site has limited facilities its perfect for what we want. Peace and quiet. Burnham on Sea, Brean and Weston S Mare all within 20Minutes drive. Local pubs, garden centre and supermarket within easy reach if you have a car. You can truly relax here. Staff we had contact with were helpful and Karen the manager was really helpful via email. The site is still being improved and worked on but regardless we love it and will be back again next year, possibly before."
"Had a fabulous week at the lodge, it was very well equipped and the hot tub was amazing."
"Had a wonderful and relaxing time at rookery lodges with my young daughter and mom. I stayed in elm Lodge, it was spacious set out lovely and clean. Slight negative was the cushions on sofa stunk of dogs and a blanket in a basket (presumably for pets) also smelt, would recommended having an extra set of cushions to rotate so one set can be fresh after each guest while the other is being washed. Wasn't a big issue though I washed the cushions in the washing machine there and left them to dry, but didn't use them.Hotub was great, had a slight issue and this was fixed the very next morning. Hot tubs are advertised as private, however unfortunately they aren't as the lodges are straight in a row (not staggered to help with privacy) so you can look left to right and see all the patio/decking areas, a privacy screen would have been great or if hotutbs were sunken.Minus two slight negatives, I would absolutely recommend staying here, peaceful quiet and decorated to a high standard. The view from the patio is beautiful. We couldnt hear no noise from motorway even whilst outside. Its a great location to explore the area and peaceful to come back and unwind on an evening, I'll be back again next year"
"Everything you needed was in the lodge and everything was clean. Top quality lodge and everything at hand. It certainly was a place with relaxation and nature and wellbeing are top values"
"New lodge hot tub was fantastic"
"We stayed at this place during a rainy December and it was just what we needed-super cosy and warm. The house is really well kitted out and the bath was fantastic, plus a good-sized shower too! The location is perfect for our dog whos not a fan of fireworks, as its quite remote, which was a huge plus. No noise issues from the nearby flight path either. Thanks a lot, we loved it!"
"We had a fantastic stay! The place was super peaceful, perfect for unwinding and great for our dogs."
"The location is spot on with plenty nearby to explore and the park itself is nicely situated. Would be great to have more electric charging points, though and cheaper EV charging options too!"
"Lots to do around the area and a well sited park. More electric charging needed and a cheaper provider of electric for e/vs would be adviseable"
"Great stay, very comfortable and spotless."
"Great place to stay and unwind"
"From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much effort had gone into making everything perfect. The hosts were genuinely lovely and super helpful. Honestly, it was a wonderful stay in such a beautiful place. Well be back for sure!"
"Beautiful lodge"
"We had such a lovely stay! The cottages cosy log burner and hot tub made it really special. Hosts were friendly, peaceful surroundings. Hope to come back soon!"
"The lodge was fantastic, just three weeks old, so everything felt fresh. A couple of minor issues came up, but it didnt ruin our stay at all."
"We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage. The owners were super friendly and went out of their way to help us with everything. The place itself is beautifully kept, warm and spotless - the shower was especially good! We loved the cosy kitchen and comfy bed, perfect for relaxing after exploring the nearby walks and the village of Thaxted. Parking right next to the property was a real bonus too. Would definitely recommend!"
"This lodge is stunning!! Home from home with everything included for a lovely break. Location is perfect too"
"We loved the cosy lodge, felt just like home. Its in a quiet spot, so not much happening if youve got kids, but perfect for relaxing."
"Absolutely loved our stay! The owners really went the extra mile, making everything perfect. Will definitely tell friends about this."
"Really enjoyed our stay here! Ideal for a peaceful escape with lots nearby to explore easily."
"Perfect lodge"
"Chilled 4 days"
"We recently booked a short getaway here for my partners 60th birthday and honestly, it was a pretty lovely experience overall. We chose a lodge with parking right next to it, which made everything so much easier and found the one we picked to be quite new, spotlessly clean and well-equipped for our stay. The grounds around the lodge are just stunning - really well-maintained with breathtaking views and the hot tub was definitely a highlight! Perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. One thing that caught our eye was the double mattress in the main bedroom; unfortunately, it had sagged badly on one side, which was quite noticeable even when the bed was made. Its a shame because everything else was so well looked after and the laundry supplies were all spotless. We didnt see many staff or other guests during our visit, so were not sure about the history of the place, but it looks like it used to have a restaurant, spa and other facilities. We noticed some groundworks for new lodges going on, but it didnt interfere with our stay at all. Theres a small coffee shop/bar on-site, but it was only open during very limited hours, which was a bit disappointing - it felt like a missed opportunity, especially since the infrastructure is already there. Hopefully, once they reopen it, itll add even more to the stay. Location-wise, this site is spot on - beaches at Burnham and Brean are just a few miles away and places like Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury and the Tor are all within easy reach. The site itself is a nice size - not too big, not too small - and I really hope it stays this way because wed love to come back. All in all, a lovely spot thats definitely high on our list for future visits!"
"Really enjoyed our stay, can't recommend enough!"
"Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was spotlessly clean and comfy."
"Had a lovely few days at Rookery Manor lodges. The lodge was finished to a high standard and the hot tub was great. The site was very quiet with no facilities so may not suit families with young children."
"Lovely 5 day break away. Beautiful Location.
Very Quiet, Even with the M5 being Nearby."
"Great place"
"We loved our stay at Rookery Manor, just the perfect getaway for our 1st doggy family holiday, loads of great sight seeing of the picturesque villages near by, and only a drive away from amenities. And Karen on arrival was very very helpful and lovely. The lodge its self was wonderfully spacious and of a very high specification, also the decking area and area to the side of the lodge was all enclosed so very safe to let Archie our boxer dog run and play around. And the hot tub was an added bonus, we will definitely be coming back. So overall very highly recommended xx"
"Near to Weston super mare, easy to find, very high quality lodge's with everything you need, smart TV with Netflix and prime video not just Freeview.
Seating area at the front with a hot tub if you want it. Mi"
"Lovely lodge great surroundings.
Lodge really spacious & clean with all that you need.
Lovely area for dogs.
Brand new holiday park so decking at front of lodge not very private but will be lovely once plants are established.
The hotel is closed but the spa is open.
Lovely Indian restaurant not far away.
When using Sat Nav mine kept trying to use the M5 as it’s close to the holiday park use the A370 for most journeys.
Would recommend this holiday park."
"First time visiting this relatively new site, the hotel and restaurant are not there now, although still advertised on google. There is a spa which we did not use. The lodges are set in beautiful surroundings, but the sound of the M5 close by could be annoying for some, but it did not bother me at all. Karen was very helpful and was always available and just a phone call away."
"Perfect! Absolutely perfect! 10/10"
"enjoyed our stay in the lodge. Very well equipped with high end tv's in bedrooms. One small niggle though. A coffee machine was available, but as a trio of tea drinkers we would have appreciated a teapot, milk jug and sugar bowl!!"
"We had a great mini break and couldn’t have asked for better weather for our stay. The accommodation was perfect our only slight complaint would be the matteresses they weren’t very comfortable and you could feel the springs. Even though the site is under renovation you wouldn’t know it. It will be a lovely park once it’s finished and I and miss family would visit again for sure."
"Plum lodge was an amazing location for a midweek break. Ideally located for all the sights we wanted to see. We loved the hot tub but just a small suggestion: as it is at the front of the lodge by the small parking area it might be nicer to have the smoked glass panels on the veranda going completely around the hot tub as it did on the neighbouring lodge. Just provides a bit more privacy from cars entering the car park then the correct picket style panels. Other then that we loved it and looking to book again for next year."
"Wow, everything about the lodge was luxurious. It included absolutely everything needed during our stay.
We loved everything about the lodge and the hot tub.
With such beautiful surroundings, it was a shame that there wasn't any family friendly walks. As the only way to exit is on a country lane without any pavements, we didn't feel we could walk with young children.
We all had such an amazing stay and couldn't fault anything about the lodge and will definitely be booking to stay here again."
"Lovely and clean! Close to beaches. Loved fresh milk shop in the way in. And hot tube is as great"
"It was a lovely spot for a very relaxed weekend. No where was too far away and we had the added bonus of takeaway deliveries. The lodge had everything you could need and the hot tub was bliss."
