Buddy Reviews

Joanne
This is an amazing little get a way, lovely and private and very well equipped. The owners are brilliant, going above and beyond with lots of help and information. The hut is very warm and cosy , yet spacious and comfortable. There are lots of fabulous places to visit near by. We had a wonderful time here and definitely intend to return .
Christopher
Cannot recommend this place enough if you just want to switch off and relax. Lovely hut and brilliant hosts, just fire up the hot tub, lean back and watch the stars. Plenty of walks in the nearby area and several places worth visiting.
Valerie
Had a lovely weekend away with my husband and our labrador. Highly recommend. The hosts were lovely! Cannot fault anything about it.
Jason
Perfect spot. Great arrival instructions and really lovely little hut. Hot tub was great. Very relaxing environment.
Julia
The buddy is a cosy, small hut. Set in countryside by cows, sheep. We saw kestrel, red kite and many birds. It is clean, well equipped but the fridge is small. There is a radio, and projector/ screen. There is no WiFi, I didnt have phone signal for 2 days whilst there. They left us milk, tea making facilities and cookies and items for yr dog. We haRead mored a lovely time, used wood for hot tub. Friendly staff who were attentive. Hide
Hayley
We had such a wonderfully relaxing time staying at Buddy! The hosts were fantastic and always on hand should you need them. The lodge is completely private and spotlessly clean. Close enough to the local town should you need supplies and some lovely walks near by. We cant wait to visit again in the near future!
Helen
Beautiful secluded place. Had lovely evenings making the most of the open fire and hot tub. Number of easy walks around with nice pub stops along the way. Hosts were great and answered questions over WhatsApp quickly.
Robert
This was a great little getaway, the location was lovely and the owners were thoughtful and in touch. Can't fault it at all. A nearby pub that does huge portions is really handy, but the scenery and connection to nature really makes this place. The hut itself was well presented and secluded, very well furnished and beautiful.
Anthony
Great little place, everything you need for a nice relaxing break. Communication with Kate was positive and took the stresses out of the break. Would definitely recommend.
Elaine
An amazing location and gorgeous hut. Very dog friendly too. The "get away from it all" perfect break. Peaceful, tranquil and the wood fired hot tub really does get Hot.
Alexandra
We had a wonderful time at Buddy's cabin, we were even lucky enough to meet Buddy himself. The cabin has everything you could want, and has a lot more space than your standard shephard's hut. We were provided with milk in the cabin and had the pleasure of using the hottub and garden area! We couldn't recommend this place enough and will be back agaRead morein! Hide
Amy
Honestly amazing, booked for my parents to get out and away and they absolutely loved it. The locks are a brilliant walk and they enjoyed food in the area and said it's been the most chilled and relaxing break in forever. Highly recommend if wanting to get out of the city or urban areas. Beautiful
Sam
Amazing venue and brilliant communication, couldnt not have asked for a better getaway break. Give star quality we will be visiting again
Will
10/10 will be revisiting
Chris
Absolutely stunning and fully equipped, romantic stay. Beautiful little touches for both us and our dog - Diffusers, cookies, retro radio, lovely shower products and soaps, dog treats, even had a projector and pull down screen for some late night netflix! (No WiFi so tether to phone no problem). The hot tub is deep and easy to use and was preheatedRead more for our arrival. Brilliant, kind and thoughtful host. We will definitely be staying again in our new romantic get away. Thank you! Hide

My husband and I had two nights in Buddy and it was perfect, better than we could have imagined. We wanted to get away somewhere peaceful with our dogs and we couldnt have found anywhere better. The hut was very well equipped and the view was incredible, it could be seen from the hot tub and even from our bed. We were given a lovely treat package aRead morend a dog treat package. There were sheep and cows nearby which was also lovely to see. We will 100% be returning! Hide

Old Dairy Farm Centre - PO30 2NB
about 20 Miles
Suited to families with children of all ages this is a fantastic attraction in Northamptonshire.  There are many special events held throughout the year so don't forget to check what's happening while you are staying in the region.  Some highlights include the lambing weekends and the monthly local food fayres.
Old Dairy Farm Country Shopping and Craft Centre - LE14 3PF
about 20 Miles
From shopping to home cooked refreshments this is a wonderful day out in the pretty village of Upper Stowe.  You can enjoy amazing views over the Northamptonshire countryside and wander around the complex of stone built farm buildings.  Each building houses something different such as the Occasions Florist, Itsy Bitsy Gifts, Hayrack Gallery and Sheer Delights Lingerie.  When it's time for a rest the Barn Restaurant and Tea Room is the place to go.  There is a small selection of animals at the centre too which younger children will love.  They currently have two Kune Kune pigs, sheep, hens and ducks.  If you are looking for upmarket holiday accommodation in the Northamptonshire area then the luxury lodges at Wicksteed Park are sure to impress.
The Royal Forest of Rockingham - LE16 8UW
about 22 Miles
The Royal Forest of Rockingham in Northamptonshire is the perfect place to enjoy a range of outdoor pursuits including Walking, Cycling, Nature Trails and Horse Riding. The beautiful medieval hunting forest offers areas of ancient woodlands, agricultural land and peaceful stone-built forest villages. The forest is also abundant with wildlife including Deer, Squirrels, Butterflies and Birds.
Catanger Llama Trekking - NN12 8LJ
about 25 Miles
This is a really unique attraction and certainly worth a visit in our opinion.  Established in 1995 and situated in the heart of the Northamptonshire countryside this attraction will appeal to those looking for something a little different.  You can't ride the animals but you can trek alongside them and enjoy the fantastic scenery.  From farm tracks to country lanes the gentle animals will carry your rucksack for you along the way.  There are personally guided treks available all year round and you will have your own Llama for the trek.
Conkers - DE12 6GA
about 27 Miles
Conkers is an award winning attraction located in the midst of the National Forest.  Combining both indoor and outdoor activities this is an all weather attraction in the Peak District.  It's really easy to get to as well, just 5 miles from Junction 11 off the M42.  Designed for all ages some of the highlights include the Enchanted Forest Adventure play area and a simulated Tree Top walk.  Look out for special seasonal events such as October half term and the Annual Halloween Party.  At the moment you can receive a fantastic discount if you book your tickets online.
