Watersview Lodge Reviews

Stella

Lovely stay in watersview first time in this lodge normally stay in heronsview ... Lovely stay in watersview first time in this lodge normally stay in heronsview lodge next one up from it but was not disappointed at all

This property is in a lovely, peaceful location. The owner gave us a very warm welcome he was very polite and friendly. The lodge was spotlessly clean and the hot tub which was very relaxing was maintained and checked daily. We were a group of 2 retired couples and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.

Angela

We stayed at the lodge as a family of five and our chihuahua and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Communication was good. The lodge had everything we needed. Having two bathrooms was a bonus with a family of five too! The hot tub was a good send after all walking we did everyday. The lodge could do with a bigger and newer frying pan and the sink in the ensuite needs unblocking a bit but apart from that it was brilliant. Would definitely go back!!! Thank you!!!!

We enjoyed a great stay in Watersview Lodge. Cleanliness and comfort were spot on and the hot tub was definitely an added bonus.Would 100 recommend this place for a break.

Susannah

Watersview is a fantastic property in a beautiful location. It was clean, comfortable and furnished to a high spec. I would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and family.

Denise

Beautiful lodge in perfect situation overlooking the lake. The summer trees will block some of the view but you are literally a 2 minute walk to the water. Immaculately clean and very comfortable. The hot tub was super clean and very very nice to pop in after a day of walking. Small enclosed garden you need to check both gates are shut next to a lovely shared field perfect for dogs. Lovely place to stay Ive already recommended it to my friends!

Sharon

As a group of 5 woman on a get together we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were blessed with good weather so took advantage of the stunning Rudyard lake going on the train and boat ride. Beds were comfty. Hot tub fab to laze it. Walks around just lovely. Only niggles we had was the tin opener didn't work and the enclosed garden did not stop our inquisitive dogs from going under the gate! Maybe something ar the bottom of the gates would have deterred them. Overall could not recommend enough. Great place for a break. Feeling rejuvenated!!

Amazing place in a lovely spot. Has everything you need, hot tub a bonus.

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.

A Lovely lodge tucked away on the banks of Rudyard lake, with easy access if you fancy a walk along the shores or a mealdrink at the local hotel literally a 2 min walk. Great communication from the owner which allowed our arrival to run smoothly. The lodge itself was spotlessly clean with everything we required for a lovely weekend away with friends, even the hot tub was on so no long wait to warm it up . We would definitely recommend a stay here.

Elizabeth

We had a lovely stay at this lodge. The area is lovely and we particularly enjoyed the extremely dog friendly Hotel Rudyard. We would definitely like to return,

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.

This was a weeks getaway for 4 friends and it was perfect. Location was far enough away from everything that you felt in the countryside but not so far it made it difficult to do anything. The owners were amazing and so understanding throughout our stay! The actual Lodge itself was welcoming and beautifully decorated. Plus who doesnt love a hot tub?!

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.
