The Dragonfly Retreat Reviews

Keith

An excellent lodge with great facilities. The owners are friendly about helpful and everything is provided for a great stay. We stayed at new year and the lodge was nicely decorated. The hottub is fantastic, even during cold rainy evenings lol the onsite gym is fantastic.

Julie

We had a great week at Dragon Fly Lodge. The surroundings are lovely and felt very safe, we didn't feel the need to lock the doors when we went out. The gym has an amazing amount of equipment, my son and daughter loved it and were in there every day. They also enjoyed a few dips in the natural pool. The nearby town of Ledbury has some interesting sRead morehops and pubs and even a little museum which is free to enter. Would recommend the Corner House Cafe for some good home-cooked food. Hide

Anthony

We had a wonderful time and the accommodation was just perfect. The owners were so helpful and the setting and surroundings were really nice. We will look to book again next year.

Ian

Great property in a lovely location. The wild swimming on site was very special...

Jessica

We had a wonderful stay at DragonFly Lodge. We made full use of the natural pool, gym and hot tub. The lodge was fully equipped and plenty of space for the family and our furry friend. Shelly and Clive are wonderful hosts and can't do enough for you. Put your order in early if you want some of the fresh laid eggs from the chickens. If you want peac e and tranquillity away from the hustle and bustle of daily life then this is the place. We can't wait to visit again,

Cindi

We had a such a lovely week long stay in the Dragonfly lodge with the kids and dog in tow. Everything about the place lends itself to rest and relaxation. We loved the natural pool, the hot tub and being able to barbecue every day. Michelle was an attentive host, and its obvious how much care goes into making guests feel welcome and comfortable. It is the perfect place to recharge. Will be back.

Samantha

Beautiful lodge, clean and comfortable. We loved the pond for swimming and the hot in for relaxing. Owners could not have been more helpful - thank you to them

Doris

This place is a small Heaven! The accomodation is immaculate, the cleanest place we have ever stayed in. The lodge is very spacious and modern, we went there a week ago with our three children and German shepherd. Our kids loved the hot tub. They didn't want to get out! There is also a gym, a sauna, and a natural swimming pool. The whole place is a stonishing . The owners very nice and welcoming...We will definitely go back!

Jane

Peaceful and relaxing with facilities to use as you want, Gym, Pool and your own hot tub, perfect. And great WIFI :)

Jane

Lovely clean and spacious lodge overlooking a natural pool and trees. Beautiful setting. The owners take a lot of pride in their 4 lodges and are on hand if you need anything..

Lorraine

Five middle aged women 40 (the baby) to 62. We really enjoyed the Dragonfly Retreat it had everything we wanted to chill. We used the hot tub/gym loads of time. And even managed a shoulder dip in the freezing eco friendly pool. We walked into Ledbury and back & had lunch in a really old fashioned pub it was lovely. The host Shelley was very friendl y welcoming & very enthusiastic about the retreat & even waved us off......will definitely go back when weather is warmer a lovely location.

Lee

Had a relaxing mid-week break in Nov at the well equipped, comfy & spacious Dragonfly Lodge. Would love to return in the summer & be able to sit out with a drink on the balcony. Made good use of the hot-tub & impressive gym & used the sauna on the last evening, followed by a very, very quick dip in the icy pool. Shame no pubs walkable, but many wit hin a short drive, & thankfully our son was happy to drive, so his parents could "relax" more - and he said it was the best holiday WI-FI he's had !!

Kate

Stunning setting & beautiful location, great walks, very clean and they have everything you could wish for in a UK holiday, it was super comfortable and they were perfect hosts

Jamie

The cottage, Dragonfly Lodge and location were idyllic and perfect in every sense. Clive and Shelley are both very welcoming as is the resident donkey Flinstone whose very partial to the odd Carrot or two. I certainly wasnt ready to travel home on the Friday after a four night stay! Even the light pollution was minimal so gazing at the night sky wi th a glass of wine and being able to see the millions of stars from the comfort of the jacuzzi was the cherry on top.Stay here, you wont regret it.

Sara

Fabulous time had by everyone. Shelly and Clive were great hosts and nothing was too much trouble - we will definitely be back

Christina

What an amazing place to stay. Beautiful lodge and views.
