Buzzard Lodge Reviews

Shaun
Sadly these glamping tents need some TLC. No matching crockery or glasses and had to wash it all on arrival as it was filthy, Washing bowl and sink full of grease again had to wash on arrival. no serving dishes, the fridge is tiny forcing you to go shopping each day which is not what we wanted. Under the beds are filthy. Chest/Box/coffee table is fRead moreull of broken toys and games. They just need a huge deep clean! Such a shame because they could be perfect in a perfect location. Hide
Keith
Really lovely safari tent with plenty of space for 3 adults, two children and a dog! The hot tub, fire pit, deckchairs and outdoor table and benches gave us lots of options to spend our time outside.
Sarah
Lovely cosy lodges in a lovely location. We particularly liked the walks up to the canal, cooking on the fire pit and swimming in the pond.

Amazing options for cooking food (the bbq grill and pizza oven plus the inside microwave n hob) all the fun of camping without the inconveniences.
