Claire

My daughter and I had an amazing stay at Beech Lodge. We loved the quiet, peaceful location and felt very safe. The hot tub was amazing and was checked daily by a member of staff. Every staff member we came into contact with was friendly and always happy to help.

We had a lovely 7 days at the Beech lodge The sauna and hot tub were great you get 1 half hour session in the swimming pool free, the other times you need to pay. Would recommend a stay here if you needed a quiet break also good WiFi

Robert

The property was excellent, but we were unable to use the oven as the temperature and oven settings were missing from the cooker panel. A few more shelves in the bathroom would be helpful. It is a shame that the kitchen worktops had been used as breadboards and that we had to wash the remains of food from the cutlery and crockery before we could use it. We found the site staff extremely pleasant and very helpful.

We had a wonderful stay at Beech Lodge. It was a perfect retreat for us to slow down and take in & appreciate our surroundings.

Patricia

The fifth time we have used these lodges. Always enjoy our stay find the place very relaxing

tin William

All good, but bed was a bit small and kept hitting head on shelf above the head board. Welcome tray was a nice touch. Facilities and staff were great, had a fantastic stay.

The best thing about Rutland is there is so much to see & do, We stayed in Beech Lodge in Greetham, Rutland. The Rutland Kitchen on site has an excellent menu & you can order in advance a takeaway meal to suit. The food is excellent as are the staff. The Lodge was spacious & very comfortable. The hot tub was in use every night & a sauna was also something to help relax. We had an awesome stay & we will be back. Barnsdale gardens are a must see.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short break in this beautiful & interesting part of the country. We were shown to our lodge on arrival & received a generous welcome pack which was much appreciated. Managed to visit all the places nearby that we had put on our list. The weather was great for getting plenty use of the hot tub also !

Fantastic stay. Following a warm welcome, the accommodation was great, very spacious and comfortable. Small note re improvement tweaks leaky tap in the kitchen and difficult to read cooker markings as quite worn. Definitely recommended though and the welcome treats were appreciated.

Harris

We stayed in Beech lodge for 5 nights and we had the most amazing time! Checkin was very simply, the lodge was huge, much bigger than we expected, and the welcome pack was a lovely gift! The lodge is very well equipped with everything you could imagine needing, the kitchen had so many utensils and pots and pans, even a hand mixer. There was a hoover and mop, broom and dustpan and brush, cloths drying rack. An additional space heater to the already built in underfloor heating, there was also a fan for when it got really hot! There was also plenty of books dvd and cds to be enjoyed! We found the bed to be super comfortable and overall the lodge was very cosy and beautifully decorated! There was also a hairdryer provided in the bedroom. The hot tub was of course the highlight, it was very spacious and clean, the friendly staff also checked the PH of the water in the hot tub daily. The garden was also huge, and again well equipped with sun loungers, table and chairs and a large bbq. The Sauna was also a highlight, very easy to use and again nice and clean! The grounds themselves were clean and very easy to find your way around, if you do struggle we found the staff to be super friendly and helpful! We throughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back in the future!

The lodge was lovely and clean apart from a few cobwebs here and there. The finishing touches like bath robes and shower gel was lovely. The park itself and the surrounding area was lovely for exploring. I would have like to seen more crockery cutlery in the lodge. When you have a dishwasher you need more. There was no tea towel for drying the odd item of crockery if required. They checked the hot tub daily and were very considerate in doing so. The staff were friendly. We will certainly be back . Its a good place to relax.

Richard

The details of this property gave the impression is was luxury accommodation, with a bath in the bedroom, sauna and hot tub, but not in our experience. We reported that the kitchen tap was dripping, which the management appeared to know about but it wasn't mentioned on arrival. We also discovered that the bathroom sink plug could not be depressed to facilitate shaving this didn't engender any response apparently because it remained seized and no update. Other issues included the 2 internal doors of the rear lobby repeatedly stuck, the bathroom door was very noisy. We booked a meal at one of the village pubs but had to take the long drive around due to the culdesac nature of Park Lane, an no torch provided to enable us to walk.

Deborah

Property was excellent, staff excellent. 0 score is for Skyes, property is a 1010 property staff 1210 Sykes customer service is none existent still waiting for a response from over 6 months ago. Luckily I contacted the owners who sorted my problem even though it was nothing to do with them. My advice dont book sith Sykes and be careful as lots of other sites are actually owned by Sykes. Would I revisit yes definitely but I would not book through Sykes.

Lovely stay will be booking again Staff always friendly and helpful Welcome pack great Loved the sauna and hot tub

Jacqueline

Excellent accommodation. Everything was there you needed to enjoy your stay. The whole site was well maintained, and the staff friendly and helpful. Definitely five star. Would come back.

This was our second stay on this site. The best lodge we have stayed in. Private garden makes using the hottub great. Sauna an extra bonus. Rutland water a must

Stephen

The lodge was clean and tidy on our arrival, we had a great four day stay. We were able to explore the area, which was my last RAF Posting at RAF North Luffingham, as well as revisiting our old house in Newark. Internet is quicker than at Home so not problems accessing the internet. Well worth a stay

Cristina

The cabin was beautiful, very cleaned and spacious, and had everything I needed for the weekend, the kitchen was very well equipped, dish washer and washerdryer. The welcome package was lovely, with chocolates, eggs, prosecco. The hot tub was lovely, always nice and warm, checked daily. Really peaceful and relaxing, I can't wait to come back

Side door did not lock, The out side was ready tidying up and the windows need cleaning

This is a lovely property. .high spec with all mod cons..we had a lovely few relaxing days

Deborah

Wanwisa

Had a great stay! Lodge was lovely and felt very relaxed and chilled. Will definitely be staying again! Would be nice if the salt and pepper shakers were filled up if not maybe it could be added to the preparing for your trip sheet. Also to bring own tea and coffee and that you can purchase ice bags from reception.

Carol Ann

Beautiful, clean, luxury lodge. Wouldn't hesitate to return. Small problem with hot tub on arrival which was dealt with immediately. Excellent cafe on sight. All in all perfect week.

Lovely place

Jonathan

Very impressed with the property and the customer service, we was shown to our lodge by a very friendly man whos name unfortunately escapes me, he showed us around and gave us plenty of advice for our stay. The property exceeded our expectations and we are already planning on visiting again before the end of the year in winter.

It was quite cool weather and the heating did not work at all,further duration of our stay, until it came on in the middle of our last night. I only recently came out of hospital, and I feel the cold. I think we should receive a partial refund.

Robert

Best property we have ever stayed in.

Absolutely amazing place and will definitely be looking to return in the future. Only small things that could be improved are the external doors were incredibly creaky I sprayed some WD40 on the hinges which sorted it, and one of the garden lights didnt work. Everything else was brilliant, the cleanliness, the facilities and the comfort were all perfect for our stay. Will definitely be returning!

Beautiful lodge, lovely welcome in person and welcome pack awaiting on the table as we entered the lodge. Overall clean, however the floors were streaky and under furniture were dusty. The tap on our shower was broken so we couldn't use the shower during our stay. This wasn't really an issue to us as we made use of the bath and tot tub. We felt the lodge was well provisioned and generally in a well maintained state, it was a beautiful place to retreat to for a few days after a difficult time personally.
