Watersview Lodge Reviews

Andrew

Lovely lodge,great location. Heated balcony floor next to hottub was a great surprise! Would recommend anybody that likes squirrels to bring some nuts for them as they are very entertaining.

Michael

We had a very relaxing stay. The property is well maintained and very comfortable. It's worth noting that the road to the property is very rough and muddy. Also slightly disappointed with the communication from the owners, a welcome email wasn't received, so we were unaware the hot tub wouldn't be available on our final night. However when my husband spoke to the owner he made sure we were able to use it. There was no information in the property except for a few leaflets left by previous holidaymakers. In the past we have been used to a folder or something to let you know about the property and surrounding area. Thanks to Google though we were able to investigate the area during our stay.

Absolutely stunning. The setting by the lake amongst the tress was so peaceful and relaxing. The lodge itself had everything one could need, and was spotless. The hot tub an added bonus.

Watersview is a real gem of a property, extremely clean and well equipped with everything you need for a lovely stay. We took 2 dogs and 2 teenage children. Plenty of space for us all, with an enclosed garden for the dogs and run around communal field for all. It was such a lovely spot with a beautiful walk around Rudyard Lake, the miniature Steam train runs along one side of the lake. There is paddle board groups and boat hire and newfoundlands train on the lake. Can recommend the sunday carvery at the Rudyard Hotel, and 2 Cafe's all within walking distance. There is a disused railway line walk to Leek too. The hot tub was amazing we were in it every night! A dog friendly area all round. Thank you Matt & Mark!

Amanda

Just one word PERFECT

Really enjoyed our break at watersview Lodge. Spotlessly clean everywhere and everything we needed. Easy access to lakeside walks and disused railway line into Leek. TV and WiFi excellent and beds comfortable. Particularly enjoyed the hot tub and sitting outside with a glass of wine. Top class.

The accommodation is in the perfect location, all we could hear was birds singing. However the accommodation is tired and need a deep clean. The sofa needs cleaning, the cushions need renewing and the cupboard doors in the Kitchen need fixing under the sink. The site itself needs a gardener to tidy it all up.

Debbie

Beautiful, clean lodge right on Rudyard Lake, the local scenery is to die for and good routes to many local attractions. The owners were fast to respond to any questions and were kind enough to supply a travel cot and airdryer for our 2 week visit. Hot tub was a big hit with the family. We would highly recommend this quiet cabin.

Absolutely superb location and spotlessly clean accommodation with all the accessories required for a short or long term stay. The hosts were easily contacted and provided a simple and hassle free check inout. And let's not forget the well maintained and amazing hot tub! Only one criticism is the small sofas for relaxing in the evenings, as there was only room for 4 people even though the lodge sleeps 6.

Very clean, warm and comfortable, would use this property again. Enclosed garden for our dog a big bonus.

Ronald

Lovely property, had everything you need to have have a great holiday. the large hot tub was brilliant and under cover from the elements. We had a heavy fall of snow and with the owner decorating the property with a Christmas tree and other decorations it was even more magical. Each morning I took a two minute stroll down to the lake to feed the ducks and watch the anglers. Would book this property again without a doubt. Good quality furniture and big comfortable beds and good showers. Great layout and feeling of space and room to move about.

Melanie

We rent here often. Great location, all the amenities you need, very clean and great hosts. Hot tub makes it all perfect. I would like to book more short stays there during off season.

Lodge was excellent everything 5. We all had a relaxing and enjoyable stay will visit again

Elizabeth

Excellent vacation, except for a couple of rainy days this did not stop us from going out. Brilliant location for touring the area and quiet and peaceful. Having our dog with us was a bonus with a closed in garden but plenty of walks close by. The lodge was spotlessly clean and most comfortable, with the added bonus of a hot tub which we had no worries about using. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly and we highly recommend staying here.

Brenda

We arrived on 25 August to be greeted by the cleaning lady who was finishing off her duties. She took time to show us around and was very welcoming. The lodge itself was fantastic with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. We had some issues with the hot tub that we caused by pressing some wrong buttons but the owner resolved this immediately even though he was in France on holiday! We really felt at home in the lodge there were 6 of us and a dog and found the location to be exactly what we needed. I could not recommend this place highly enough and we will definitely be returning in the future! Thank you to Mark and Matthew and a shout out to Dan who helped with the hot tub issues. Absolutely fantastic holiday!

Great lodge, very clean and well equipped. The hot tub was well maintained and clean. Good location for travelling around the area.

Amazing home from home, location and lodge were just perfect. Owners are fantastic, friendly and helpful. Will be booking for next year.

Severine

Very nice cottage, very well equipped. It is spacious and lovely by the lake. The jacuzzi is very big and amazing! I would definitely recommend.

Visited Watersview lodge in July. We are family of 4 and our two teenage boys absolutely loved it. Lodge is very clean and well equipped, good WiFi. Hot tub is a nice touch especially after walk around the lake.

Melanie

2nd time I've stayed here and it's perfect Beautiful place. All the amenities you need. Great location. Owners are so great too. I'm ready to book another week.

What a fantastic dog friendly holiday let set in idyllic surroundings very close to Rudyard Lake, panoramic windows enable a relaxing view of the grounds where you can watch birds and squirrels including woodpeckers. Most relaxing holiday I have had. Accommodation was perfect and exactly as described. Hotel Rudyard recommended for food. Whilst the location appears remote and relaxing, Leek is within minutes by car with all major supermarkets, bars etc. Highly recommended.5

Patricia

Lovely clean lodge had everything you needed for an enjoyable stay. Would definitely go back.

Beautiful property with everything possible you needed. Immaculate and comfortable and the hot tub was a bonus. Great views in a idyllic location. Lovely walk from the property. Pub a short walk serving good food. Host very welcoming was on hand if there was a problem. Complimentary bottle of wine and water on arrival. Will definitely book again.

Christina

Beautiful, spacious lodge with everything you could need. Lovely view. Huge area for the children to play whilst in view all the time. Large hot tub. Lovely walks by the lake. Superb pubrestaurant a 5 minute walk away. Would definitely go back.

Michelle

Had a fab week in this gorgeous lodge . Communication from owners was great and helpful. Great setting overlooking lake . Clean inside and out. Hot tub was lovely. Bottles of water and wine on arrival! Highly recommend.

Excellent property, very clean and well maintained. Could easily have stayed much longer

Stephen

Generally very happy with our stay here. Well equipped and the hot tub was a much enjoyed bonus. It would have been useful if the shower cubicles came with a basket or somewhere inside them to put items such as a bar of soap. The lack of this led to us dropping the sink soap dish and having to pay for the breakage which we felt could have been avoided. Id the owners had ever used the showers they would have noticed this lack immediately and so we can't give it a higher approval rating.

Andrew

Great place to stay for a very relaxing experience. Provides everything you need for a 2 night getaway or 2 week staycation. Either relax in the very well maintained hottub or take a short walk down to Rudyard lake to see some breathtaking views. Lots to do if you want to get out and about too. Matt was very welcoming and you can tell he has passion for the area. We're hoping to come again soon. Thanks Matt

Lovely lodge with all you need. Only thing that's bad is the lane leading up to the lodges, it could do with a bit of TLC as there are a lot of deep pot holes

Josephine

Very clean, warm and comfortable, would use this property again. Enclosed garden for our dog a big bonus.

Lovely lodge in idyllic setting very close to walk to the pub & the lake & also very private even though more than 1 lodge. Ideal local venue for our girls weekend & we will be looking to book again next year

Excellent location, superbly clean, hot tub amazing and space for dogs to run in enclosed paddock was a massive plus. Wouldve loved a bit more storage for our food and drinks, especially fridge space sharp knives or a knife sharpener! and robes for hot tub. But a really enjoyable stay and I would return. Thank you.

Caroline

We had a fantastic weeks stay here with our two dogs. The lodge was immaculate with all the facilities you could possibly need and to top it off a fantastic Hot Tub which is well looked after during your stay! Lovely 45 mile walk around Rudyard Lake, which is gorgeous and then for a nice drink and a meal at The Rudyard Hotel which is only a 5 minute walk from The Lodge, the food there is fantastic. We would not hesitate to return here again

The property was absolutely amazing! Upon arrival It was clean and tidy and had anything you could possibly need. We were so impressed with the cleanliness and maintenance of the hot tub, it always looked clean and smelled fresh with chlorine. The property was beautiful and was a perfect place to take dogs with the big field on the back, within the perfect location as there was a large lake close by to take your animals on dog walks. The property owners were lovely and was always available for any questions you had, which was very reassuring.

Melanie

Lovely place and location. Comfortable, clean and has everything you need. Definitely will be back !

Justine

We had such a relaxed time. The lodge was beautifully presented, immaculate and had everything we could need. Would definitely recommend the place and return ourselves.

We had a fantastic time watersview lodge was very comfortable and relaxing feel with great view ,hot tub finished it off, great walk around lake and in to leek along old train track dogs loved it, Will definitely be booking this lodge again.
