Woodland Lodge Reviews

What a beautiful place to stay. Very cosy, comfortable, and set in the most beautiful grounds. We were there for 2 weeks and could have stayed longer. We were made very welcome by Joanne and Ian great hosts. Walks from your doorstep were a bonus and the hot tub was a delight private & perfect for after walk relaxing. So many lovely places to visit within 2030 mins car drive. Highly recommend a visit. Thank you for the perfect place to relax and recharge the batteries.

Truly the best week away ever. If youre thinking of booking this place, DO IT! Jo, Ian and their daughter were lovely anything we needed was provided. The cottage was extremely cosy and clean upon arrival. There were clear instructions for everything. I dont even know what to say as everything was 1010 the hot tub was amazing, the bed was comfy, our dog Kobe had the best week ever running around the enclosed garden. Kobe is a flight risk hes only 1 so his recall isnt the best and I felt safe with him off lead in the garden. The facilities were excellent the kitchen was great to cook in with all utensils and kit provided. The bathroom was lovely. We got to do our washing and drying while away which is a BIG help for returning home and not having to do it here!! The area is also fantastic as well so lush and green, nice and remote, plenty of places to eat out, good walks, nature. We will be coming back next year. The owners are truly running a fabulous place, just amazing. Thank you again Amy, Ryan and Kobe Liverpool

Had an amazing 4 day break at Woodland Lodge. Very homely accommodation with plenty of space but also a cosy feeling with the open fire. Did not explore the area much as just wanted the time to relax, read and enjoy the hot tub. Although had a lovely Sunday lunch at The Bluebell Inn

Meredith

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.

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

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
