Woodland Lodge Reviews

Michelle

What beautiful place in a lovely area of the country. Our accommodation was Woodland Lodge and was perfect. It had all we need and more for our stay over the New Year period. Ian & Joanne the owners are so lovely & friendly we loved the log fire, hot tub & our fur balls Marley & Storm loved the large enclosed garden to play and have fun. Would love to return again and this place is definitely on our favourites list. Thank you Ian & Joanne for an amazing break.

Catherine

The property is beautiful we stayed for Xmas and it was beautifully decorated. Very relaxing quiet stay the dog loved it. Fab time would highly recommend

ie-ann

Wonderful stay in this huge cottage. So beautiful. Tastefully decorated for Christmas. Very secure setting because of the double sets of gates. Basket of logs and firelighterskindling were provided which was a nice touch. Cottage was spotless clean. Bed was very comfy but it is set up as a double so give them notice if you want singles. Hot tub is delightful but take a bluetooth speaker if you want to play music. Garden is secure for dogs. So peaceful except for the odd speeding train which you only hear from the garden. Only negative was no shampooshower gel. I didn't think to take my own.

Stuart

This is the third time we have stayed at Woodland Lodge and each time it has been fantastic. A beautiful setting, clean, comfortable home from home. Loads to do in the surrounding areas. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay, I'm sure we will be booking again in the future.

Idyllic property, the hottub was wonderful and the area so peaceful. The cottage was very comfortable with a good range of kitchen equipment. Ian and Joanne were friendly and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A lovely, well maintained cottage in a fantastic location which was perfect for our time away with our puppy. Plenty of local walks, great places to eat and easy access to towns like Bakewell and Matlock.

Claire

A beautiful, peaceful, home from home! We would highly recommend Woodland Lodge. Everything you need is on the doorstep. The walled garden was super safe for our dogs, hot tub for after long walks to relax into. The owners of the property were always on hand if needed and really lovely. Perfect getaway! Thank you so much.

Woodland Lodge exceeded our expectations. It really is homely , warm and peaceful . The owners have made it really comfortable and cozy and the garden and surrounding walks fields and forest are a delight. Everything in the property was perfect and the log burner and hot tub made it that bit more special . Although secluded and peaceful the proximity to villages , roads and attractions in the Dales is great . A definite must to visit Thankyou Ian and Jo

Absolutely amazing cottage, well equipped, and owners where lovely, beautiful ... Absolutely amazing cottage, well equipped, and owners where lovely, beautiful walk right on your step, will definitely be coming back

Stewart

What a relaxing stay in this exceptional cottage. Everything was better than we ever imagined. Great layout and with the absolute benefit of the enclosed garden keeping Phoebe the dog. The hot tub was also fabulous and a great way to unwind in the day.

Beautiful cottage, much more spacious than the pictures suggest. Lovely location and scenery. Sitting in the spa, watching the sun go down over the ruins on the horizon will live long in our memories! Only downside would be noise, which came from 2 main sources. Firstly, the highspeed train line about 50 yards away, and second from the works on the nextdoor site and accompanying site traffic going up and down the lane . It didn't spoil our trip though!

We had a really enjoyable stay, very comfy, and loved the location. Definitely will come again. There is use of a freezer although not mentioned in the description.

Jacquline

This property was just perfect in such an amazing setting. We have a 14 month old and two dogs and I cant recommend this cottage enough. Walks on your doorstep and easy reach of all amenities including local pubs within walking distance for food and drinks. We will definitely stay again! Extra comfy bed too and such beautiful original features and setting. Nothing was too much trouble and extremely friendly and helpful host. Beautiful private secure garden with hot tub, pergola and wooden swing. Truly beautiful and thank you for sharing such a beautiful property.

Outstanding property for a truly relaxing break. The Lodge was spotless and had everything we needed for our holiday. The bed is so comfortable and results in a fantastic night sleep. Hot tub well cared for and clean with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Definitely on our return listthanks for a wonderful stay

Louise

Fabulous cottage. Location perfect. Hot tub a bonus. Great secure garden, wonderful for the dogs, also great that dogs were allowed. Lovely walks on the doorstep, not far to the village if you wanted the pub. Really lovely little break for me. Would've been good to have a freezer......only to make ice cubes, but I'm just being picky because truly couldn't fault it. Xx

Ian and Jo thank you for your hospitality. You have created something special and its been an absolute pleasure staying at Woodland Lodge. Couldnt have asked for a more welcoming and relaxing place and even in the cold weather the hot tub makes it that little bit more amazing. It was our second visit and we hope to be back next year. Thank you!!

Allison

We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful cozy cottage. Every room Is to a very high standard. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into making their guests comfortable and have certainly made the place literally feel like you could Live there. The surroundings are superb and ideal for a quiet luxury getaway. We wouldnt hesitate to rebook. Allie Bray.

Angela

We had a lovely week and would thoroughly recommend .

Pauline

Woodland Lodge is an extremely spacious one bedroom barn conversion amid beautiful scenery. With friendly helpful hosts, a great hot tub and comfortable bed, we would thoroughly recommend this property, which even accepts dogs. Great place.

Excellent cottage and location.

A great cottage which was clean and tidy throughout. The enclosed garden was an excellent feature which meant that the dog could just wander in and out as he pleased. The location to the rest of the Peak District was good and not far from the main shops in Alfreton for supplies. Would definitely look to book this cottage again in the future

Sandra

Fantastic property. Everything we needed and more was available. Welcoming hosts. Would definitely return and recommend A

Lawrence

We just spent a wonderful week at Woodland Lodge with our 2no chihuahua,s. It is a beautiful property, with excellent facilities, & a lovely secure garden. Good location for visiting the national park, lovely part of the world, excellent walks. We would definitely book this property again. Thanks Lawrence.

Lovely place. Great location. Smashing hosts.

Stephanie

Beautiful, very well presented barn conversion on the owners property. Lovely views across the valley from the hot tub. Very quiet, despite being near a railway line. We needed a quiet, restful week and we got it. The accommodation is beautifully decorated with lots of little niches dotted around. It had everything needed for a week away, though could possibly do with an outside tap or sink to clean dirty boots and dogs. I would highly recommend this property

Alison

Absolutely perfect in every way. The directions to the property are very good do not rely on the postcode for Satnav! The lodge is very spacious, beautfully appointed and comfortable. Kitchen is wellequipped washing machine and freezer is available onsite but not in the lodge. Hottub is divine, perfect temperature and wellmaintained. The garden is safe and secure. Finally, the hosts Jo & Ian are fantastic.

The whole experience was fantastic and the cottage is absolutely beautiful ,really enjoyed our stay it was really relaxing!

Jordan

Lovely cottage. Just what we imagined.

Daniel

Absolutely loved our stay everything we hoped for. Cottage lovely location nice and quite and hot tub fantastic. Hosts brilliant. All in all a fantastic break away would highly recommend.

Richard

Fabulous old stone barn conversion with loads of space to relax. Tons of character. Quality of all services heating hot water shower TV wifi external lighting kitchen etc was first class. Bed a bit soft and bouncy for our taste but that is very much an individual preference. Hot tub fabulous.... really professional installation with lovely frame roof surround with built in fairy lights. A real treat. Good walks through the woods from the cottage itself. Also up to the runed manor house Maps walk guides would have been a welcome addition. Very high quality food served at The Dog at Prentice 5 minute drive. Wonderful, relaxing stay

Lovely location The comfiest bed ever All in all a relaxing break

We stayed at the beginning of Sept 2021. Ian & Jo were lovely hosts and our stay absolutely lovely.. There are loads of nice walks without or without a four legged friend and the food served at local recommended pubs excellent. Woodland Lodge is also a great base to explore across the peaks and DerbyshireNotts generally. Great facilities especially the hot tub which was perfect at the end of a long day. Would definitely recommend Woodland to anyone & would love to stay again at some point.

Edward k

So panic over , Loved the Hot Tub so relaxing l must see about getting one ha ha our Little Dog Dottie loved Sunny the pony and Meg who is amazing with her yellow ball wouldnt hesitate in returning as soon as we can Xx

Lovely cottage, very homely and comfy

Lovely, large, stone barn conversion in a beautiful countryside setting, with all the facilities needed for a week in and around the Peak District including a hot tub in the private fullyenclosed garden. The owners are very friendly, welcoming & relaxed. Although the cottage is south east of the peaks, all of the Peak District is within easy reach, and there are local footpaths directly from the cottage. We loved it & would happily return & will recommend it to friends & family.

Dennis

Superb accommodation, the owners are friendly and extremely helpful. Very peaceful and cosy, we loved the hot tub and garden. There are some lovely walks nearby. Would not hesitate to recommend

Lovely cottage. Fantastic hosts. Thoroughly recommend
