Kipling Lodge in Staffordshire | Cottage With a Hot Tub

About Kipling Lodge

This wooden cabin is situated amidst a complex of lodges, within lovely grounds of Rudyard, on the western edge of the Peak District. Perfect for friends or couples, Kipling Lodge is filled with charm both inside and out, even featuring its very own sheltered hot tub, where you can relax all-year-round.

Upon entering the property, kick off your shoes to take full advantage of the warmth from the underfloor heated wood-effect flooring throughout. The hallway leads to a fabulous open-plan living set up, consisting of a country cottage kitchen with oak units and marble effect counter tops.

There is a dining table that seats up to six people, ideal for a home-cooked meal together, adjacent to a lounge with two comfortable sofas and a TV. Large French windows lie ahead of the room, well-situated for an outlook over the peaceful enclosed garden, here you can enjoy the location from the comfort of the cottage.

The three bedrooms boast a characterful finish, each complete with ample storage. The master room features a contemporary en-suite, whilst the bunk room is suited for children or adults, and another shower room is available for guests.

Outside, why not make the most of the private garden and shared communal space? Decked areas are located to the front, rear and side, with a selection of furniture included, ideal for a sunny afternoon.

Rudyard Lake is one of the most romantic places in Britain; a family favourite for picnics, boating, walking and fishing, also home to the steam railway. Nearby Leek is an impressive town with pubs, restaurants and a series of antique shops.

Nearby the beautiful Manifold Valley leans through excellent scenery and is promising for both walkers and cyclists. A refreshing holiday destination.

Kipling Lodge Reviews

Caroline

Very clean and tidy, well stocked and a lovely bottle of wine as a welcome. Totally dog friendly with a secure garden with a variety of wildlife to watch. Location was excellent, five minutes walk to the lake rudyard and a fantastic pub also situated there. Recommend the Sunday carvery. Had a lovely stay at kipling lodge and a bonus was the hot tub, which was perfect after a day's walking.

Beautiful location, lovely and clean, perfect for dogs Thanks Helen

Amazing accommodation, I can not recommend this accommodation enough you won't be disappointed. Everything you need for self catering, comfortable beds and hot tub just is the icing on the cake that is cleaned and maintained each day. Guys that own lodge are amazing, friendly, welcoming and helpful when needed. This is the only accommodation we have booked that is exactly as described and pictured

Madeline

Had a lovely stay in Kipling lodge. Everything was just perfect L

The owners were very helpful, everything what you would need is provided, pots, pans, plates, dishes, glasses, fully functional kitchen, even washing up liquid and the dishwasher was a great bonus. Really good seating and dining area, 2 bedrooms with double beds, 1 with on suite bathroom, another room with bunk beds. Literally the only thing you need to take is food and toiletries. Theres an Asds a 10 minuye drive away in Leek, petrol station on the way and Rudyard Lake is less than a 5 minuye Drive away.Hot tub is always on and at temperature and was checked daily by Matt. Own private garden at the back with a shared field, even the dog loved it. Would definitely stay again.

Natalie

We had a lovely stay at Kipling lodge. The lodge was super clean and well presented, very comfy with lots of little extras and amenities which were appreciated, simple things like hand soap at every sink, washing up liquid, salt and oil being very handy on the first night. The lodge is in a lovely location, quiet and rural, positioned near Rudyard lake which is a lovely walk to take. The hot tub was great and thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. The garden was a good size for our 2 big dogs and felt safe and secure. The open garden next to the lodge, was also handy to allow our dogs the freedom to run and chase a ball. Matthew the host was very helpful and friendly and was great at communication leading up to and during the stay. Thankyou for a lovely stay

Brilliant property and location. We would love to visit again

Debbie

We have just been to Kipling Lodge to spend Christmas and its been fantastic. The lodge had Christmas tree, decorations etc and we manage to cook a full Christmas dinner with everything in the kitchen. The lodge is comfy and clean and we loved our walks around Rudyard Lake. We have now booked for NY next year as we loved it so much.

Sharon

We had a lovely week stay at Kipling Lodge with our 2 dogs. Enclosed garden for the dogs, who loved being on squirrel patrol

Teresa

Kipling lodge was clean, tidy and comfortable. The hot tub was huge and well maintained. The beds were comfy. No expense was spared on the heating of the lodge, its a nest system so I suppose you could let Matt know if its too hot or cold. Smashing walks straight from the lodge door. Our dogs enjoyed themselves in the enclosed garden and exercise field not to mention the lake circular walk. This was our second time in the lodges here, 1st at Kipling lodge. We would definitely return.

The lodge was perfect for us. It had everything one would need to enjoy a lovely holiday.We will be going back.

We had a lovely week thank you. Thanks for booking the sunshine. The enclosed garden in addition to the extra grassed area was great for the dog. Beautiful shaded walks in the area including round Rudyard Lake which has rowing boats for hire or pay a launch fee for your own craft or SUP. Lovely big hot tub and despite a previous review, there was an oven glove. The washing machine meant little washing to take home. The BBQ was great to use as a stand for our disposable tray. Things we missed from past cottage experience was a hairdryer we would have taken our own but assumed there would be one, a pint of milk but we could have taken some if it had been noted that there was no welcome pack. Mark & Matthew were very helpful.

Fabulous lodge with everything you need and lots of parking which is great when family arrive separately from different directions. Secure garden area for our dog was a real bonus. Great location with easy access to the Lake and the water sports but also for exploring the Peak District. Matt, our host, was really lovely and made us very welcome. We had such a wonderful holiday here and will definitely be back! Thank you

Beautiful lodge, best we have stayed in, had everything you need for a self catering break. Stunning location and the enclosed garden was great for our whippet, although the squirrels tormented him daily. Hot tub was much appreciated after a stressful few weeks at work, very relaxing. Loved the easily accessible walks and views from the lake walk are incredible. Highly recommend Primo Piano in Leek for a meal out something for everyone on the menu and one of the best Italian restaurants Ive eaten at. Must give a mention to the bar staff at the Rudyard hotel who are very welcoming. All in all a great location, great lodge and I wish i were still there! Well be back.

This is our second visit. A lovely lodge with such a nice view.Very comfortable and great hot tub

We had a fabulous family break for new year great location close to the rudyard hotel and lake for the walks. The lodges hot tub was fab and the covered outdoor area was great for dining outside . The kitchen was very well stocked .Matt the host was a really nice guy going on the telephone conversation we had. We would definitely recommend a stay here. June

Excellent lodge, very cozy, the underfloor heating was brilliant, didnt need the radiators even though the outside temperature plummeted drastically. The hot tub was fantastic. The beds were comfy, tv perfect. The only issue that we had was the fact that the parking area for the cars froze and we couldnt move the cars as it is on an incline, maybe have a bag of salt stored somewhere for customers to use as everyone seemed to know this would happen except us of course, However, minor detail. We had a great time

We really enjoyed our stay at Kipling Lodge,. It is a beautiful lodge with great attention to detail. It is in such a lovely place with lots of nice walks. We enjoyed it so much so we have already re booked.

Graham

Wow Beautiful Lodge with everything you could need provided, even a cocktail shaker. Wifi excellent so able to share our experience immediately with friends & family. Bedsmattresses perfect, a good night's sleep had by all. Location stunning. Having taken 2 dogs the private garden was great but also the huge communal area was excellent. Easy walk to the local Hotel for a meal and a few beverages. On the hotel... a bit of a refurb needed, especially in gents toilets. All in all a fantastic weekend had. Will be our 1st choice for a mini break next time we feel the urge. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

We had a fantastic time in the kipling Lodge. The facilities were very good. The host Matt was friendly and helpful. Where was plenty to do around the area. The dogs also loved it. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay.

Nicholas

Excellent facility, met all expectations.

William

This was a perfect property for us, we'll situated, well equipped and very comfortable. Only 2 minor negatives saucepans and frying pans not the best and also there is no bread knife and unable to recycle due to bin being full.Would this stop us going again or giving kipping lodge 1010 absolutely not. Fantastic place to stay great hot tub well looked after And the owners were productive and contactable. All round great place.

Christopher

Very well equipped lodge. Very pleasant stay. Bedroom with bunk beds small .

Catherine

Lovely and clean Excellent position next to the lake Children loved the hot tub

Matthew

Excellent. Will definitely be coming back! !

Amanda

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful dog friendly lodge. It is important for us to know that the garden is secure and it was. There are lovely walks nearby especially around the lake and the hotel is a five minute walk. We would love to come back sometime soon

A really lovely, clean, dogfriendly lodge. Excellent covered enclosed balcony with hot tub and tablechairs. Garden area really good for our dog 7 month old border collie and field beyond even better! There is a stile at the bottom of the field that leads straight to the path round Rudyard Lake. Really good, dogfriendly pub within easy walking distance and lovely walksminiature train ride for us and the dog. We will definitely be back. Sykes Cottages state there is a shop on site, which there isn't and check out is 9am, not 10am, which slightly caught us out. Other than that, a perfect mini break for our family.

Andrew

The property was lovely, we very much enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect with plenty of dog walks nearby and the local pub for afternoon drinks.

Had a wonderful stay here, only difficulty was finding the location originally sat nav does not take you there. Could do eith better signage.

Andrew

Excellent stay at Kipling Lodge will certainly be recommending this listing.

Beautiful lodge and hot tub just amazing. Lovely little walks nearby and great food at Rudyard Hotel and dog friendly.

Pamela

Wonderful lodge, clean comfortable and well equipped. Beautiful walks, especially around the lake and a welcoming hot tub after a long days walk .

Lovely accommodation very well equipped in a beautiful quiet location with ... Lovely accommodation very well equipped in a beautiful quiet location with amazing wild life around you qe had squirrels eating from our balcony & many birds coming to eat the bread Would definitely recommend & no doubt in the Sumner it be stunning

Francessca

The cabin was one of the best we have stayed in! It was a lovely set up, the hot tub covering is great for rainy days and lovely and clean and spacious and actually maintains heat! The cabin was well equopped and evwn had your basic necessities such as handwash, washing up liquid, kitchen roll, spare toilet rolls and more. The fridge freezer and good size. Albeit the wifi wasnt the best which after speaking to the lovely owners who were attending to the hot tub, is due to location and the phone company but it was still usable. The tv had access to netfix, prime, sky and disney plus so we xould access these with our accounts anyway. Overall, it was one of the nicest cabins to stay in and would certainly return. Thank you.

Carina

Without doubt the most well equipped self catering accommodation we have ever stayed at. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the cabin is wonderful, youve thought of everything! Thank you

Sharon

Lovely lodge, comfortable beds and very clean throughout. Hot tub was ready and hot for our arrival and the fairy lights around the outside area are a really lovely touch. Knives need a little sharpen but everything else was perfect.

Philip

The photos didnt do justice to how lovely this lodge was. The lodge had everything we needed for a pleasant stay and was very comfortable. Its a great location off Rudyard Lake, and is very private with huge, well maintained hot tub and veranda with underfloor heating. High recommended.

Amazing stay at Kipling Lodge, the lodge itself was clean, fresh and beautiful views. All the appliances in the lodge were very high standard and the hot tub was fantastic. The only little issue is if you have little children like ours 3 years old they can easily unlock the doors and escape. A bolt or something similar at the top of the door would have made us worry less.
