Moorhen Lodge Reviews

The Lodge was well maintained and comfortable in the main just found the bed too soft in the double room. Hot tub was excellent. Location was gorgeous and our friendly host Poppy was around at least once a day.

Realy nice place to stay very peacfull location great hot tub

The lodge was very clean and comfortable. All equipment that we could have needed was there and the owners were friendly and approachable, without being intrusive. The lodge was very private and secluded but still within short distance to amenities and attractions. We would love to venture back!

Norman

Followed your post code and it didn't take me to the lodge, after driving around for about an hour I asked a local and he actually took us to the lodge and once there i entered the coordinates in to my sat nav. the position is N52 deg 46.55. W 002 deg 57.475. I don't know if this will help but once I inputted these coordinates it took me straight to the lodge from where ever i was returning from. Apart from that the lodge is in a lovely position overlooking nice grassed area with a lake and surrounding trees. and yes I would go back. The girls enjoyed the hot tub and it also has a nice gas barbeque .

Yvonne

Apologies for the delay in responding. We loved Moorhen Lodge, it had everything that we needed and more!

A great property, in a lovely spot, though not easy to find. Reasonably well equiped with good parking. Hot water system was excellent but shower controls are getting very stiff and need some attention. Hot tub available but not used on this visit.

Fantastic time had, thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful place, clean and comfortable with everything you could need for a relaxing stay. Not too far from plenty of places to visit but far enough away from the noise of city life. The owners were friendly and happy to help, their dog was a huge hit with our children who adored her, she was super friendly. Would definitely return we had a lovely stay. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing break, in a beautiful area.

Kelvin

If you would like a nice quite, peaceful setting this is for you. Lovely place with the birds singing all day long. The accommodation is superb and vey comfortable. The owner, who lives close by, is very friendly and helpful. Very large lawn with woods and lakes at the back. Although it is quiet it is not far to places of interest for you to tour around and visit. I would go back again and recommend it to everybody.

Gediminas

Very nice place to rest. If you are looking for quiet nature place this place perfect.

This was a perfect cottage in a lovely location. The owners could not have done more, we really appreciated the bubbly left for us and any queries were dealt with promptly and with no fuss. We would definitely recommend this to others and would visit again in a heartbeat.

Billie Kim

Fantastic Lodge would highly recommend

Richard

Great accomodation, lovely location. Nice and out of the way and friendly host. Take away food from the Cross Keys was brilliant and there is a nice walk mostly across fields to the Three Pigeons in Nesscliffe. Great place to explore the area

Elaine

Had a lovely week at Moorhen Lodge. Everything you could possibly need was provided and the lovely bottle of sparkling wine was an added bonus. The hot tub provided that extra relaxation for all of us after days out.

Bethany

The owners were really lovely and could not have done any more for us. They allowed us to have an early checkin, had a bottle of bubbly chilling for us and even let us checkout later than usual. The lodge itself was lovely and homely, and spotless! They really did an amazing job, especially considering it was a last minute booking. The lodge is located in a really beautiful setting and isn't overlooked by any other buildings. I can't recommend this place enough

Carmen

Had a lovely holiday very restful just what we needed. Lovely lodge, hot tub brilliant and the owners were lovely people I highly recommend

Loved staying at this lodge. The sofas and beds were so comfortable. We very much enjoyed the hot tub and also sitting out on the decking area watching the wildlife. It really is such a peaceful setting and the lodge has everything you need!

Patrick

A very pleasant place. Nice setting. Enjoyed the hot tub!

The lodge was in a lovely setting and felt very private and secluded. The hot tub was great. Host very friendly and welcoming.

Evelin

Our family really enjoyed staying at the Moorhen cottage. The accommodation was very clean and cosy. We loved the hot tub and spent most of our evenings in it. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, very quiet and peaceful, perfect place to relax. Definitely recommend!

Morwenna

Wonderful location and accommodation. We were blessed with fab weather, but I suspect we would have loved it in any weather. The facilities are great and the owners really helpful and nice. We hope to return!

Andrew

Beautiful location, fabulous few days had by all

Rachel

We had a lovely stay at Moorhen Lodge its so peaceful and the hot tub was just ideal being under the cover! local pub was fantastic, and plenty to see and do in the area for days out. We'll be back!

Moorhen Lodge was a great base to explore the surrounding areas. It is a luxury home from home lodge with everything you need, set in a peaceful countryside location it really is the perfect escape. After our days out we enjoyed the wonderful hot tub and theres a great BBQ so you can make the most of the outdoors.

Jonathan

Lovely stay, nice secluded location which was exactly what we were looking for. Accommodation was well kept and clean. Hot tub was lovely and well looked after. Family on site were very helpful and our children had a lovely time playing with their children and the dogs. Would definitely go back. Some great pubs and park near by.

Geoffrey

Realy nice place to stay very peacfull location great hot tub

Justine

The accommodation was incredibly clean and in gorgeous surroundings. The hot tub was lovely and a lovely gift of sparkling wine and shortbread biscuits was a nice touch. Will definitely be recommending to family and friends.

Super location, peaceful setting but only a mile or so if you want to dine out or go for a drink. Definitely worth a visit if you want to experience the unspoilt countryside and relax.

Vivienne

This property is marvellous. The peace and quiet was rejuvenating. The hot tub was to die for. Can really recommend it if you are looking to get away from it all and have a peaceful break. Everything you could need was catered for with a lovely welcome pack of wine, biscuits, milk and tea coffee and sugar. And the beds were incredibly comfortable. Cant wait to go back.

We loved the tranquility of the lodge setting. The hosts were generous and thoughtful in their approach and had thought of our every need. Ideal bolt hole to escape for a few days and certainly one to bear in mind for the future.

A fantastic Family break, the lodge was beautiful and the views just amazing,

Stephanie

Moorhern lodge was beautiful. Well present and exceptionally clean. Hot tub is amazing. Although there was no WiFi we wasnt bothered by this. The surroundings are quiet and tranquil. It was everything we was looking for. We will be rebooking again soon.
