✓ October - November: Crisp autumn air, stunning starry skies, perfect contrast with hot water
✓ December - February: Cold air intensifies the experience, possible snow-dusted surroundings
✓ March - April: Spring awakening, longer evenings returning, wildlife becoming active

🌧️

Rainy Day Tip: Don't let rain stop you! Hot tubbing in light rain is a uniquely peaceful experience. The sound of raindrops while you're warm in the bubbling water is surprisingly relaxing.

Dark Skies & Stargazing

Sycamore Lodge is located in one of England's darkest sky areas, making it exceptional for stargazing from the hot tub.

Graham

On first impressions when walking into the lodge, was that it wasn't Luxury,maybe Delux,it seemed a bit tired, the rug in the lounge had seen better days,and stained, the clock on the wall was small,it looked lost,and it didn't work,the Roman blind was missing from the kitchen window, in the bathroom, the film on the window to obscure the glass, was pealing off,with mold in the corners,the toilet seat,wasn't fitted correctly, it wouldn't stay in the upright position, on the basin unit the edge trim was missing from the front,and loose in the sides,mold was also visible on the bottom of the shower screen. Though these things may seem minor,it made it stop short of Luxury,if these small things were done, it would make a huge difference to the look.i did report these findings,to the staff,and said they would be passed on.having said all that,we did have a good time,and may go back, now we know what to expect.

Joanne

Excellent cant wait to get back next year beautiful holiday get cabins

Nice quiet and peaceful site. Lodge was very spacious ,nicely furnished and clean.

Fantastic place to come and stay at such a reasonable cost! Thank you Everything was clean and tidy and I had everything in the lodge I needed, the welcome gift was a really nice gesture My only suggestion would be a better folder with more information in about the place and surroundings more info about the pool and local area Also clearer instructions on what to do before we left like rubbish etc Maybe also instructions on how to use the TV may be helpful So lovely to have a sauna and hot tub included used the hot tub but not the sauna We will definitely be booking again many thanks Juliet

We stayed in Cedar Lodge for a 3 night post xmas break . The lodge was beautiful, much bigger than we expected. Very clean & comfortable. Had a problem with the sauna but it was sorted out very quickly. 15 minute walk to the village. Unfortunately the village shop is now closed , the nearest is in Cottesmore which is about 1.5 miles away. All in all a lovely break.

I feel that I can't rate the accomodation due to me becoming ill after only 3 days into our stay. Though I will say the 2 members of staff in the reception area were wholly unfriendly if not rude. Every and I mean every time that I asked them anything it was met with blank looks and pure ignorance and very uncaring. I mentioned that I had become ill and the reply was don't get too close with a stern look. I really have no ambition to return to this place in the future.

Just returned from a 7 night break and have already been recommending to family and friends and sharing details of Rutland Luxury Lodges, it was every thing that was described on the website at time of booking. It was fully equipped with everything we needed and more, the staff were really lovely and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We stayed in the Cedar Lodge, it was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend for a peaceful and comfortable break, we will definitely be booking again, thank you to the whole team.

Pauline

The staff were extremely welcoming, the lodge was so nice. The welcome pack was such a lovely touch. Would highly recommend and will definitely come again

Elaine

This is feedback for Sykes, nothing to do with the lodge. I just want to say that your customer service after booking, is dreadful. I attempted to make contact with Sykes to amend something on my b0oking nothing that could be sorted online I could only get an automated service that just sent out an SMS for me to respond to I did this straight away, but I didn't get any response at all back. I was very disappointed but as you already had my money I don't suppose you cared about the customer after that!!!!

Absolutely perfect for us Everything we needed Great staff

Brilliant lovely place to stay to relax and unwind would 100 look forward to coming back

Absolutely brilliant lodge and site. Lodge was huge, well equipped and comfy. Hot tub was fun and all rooms were clean and warm. Couldn't fault anything. Site was great, wonderful cafe on site cooking all types of meals throughout the day.

Relaxing break in lodge, everything you need is included, love the hot tub!

Anthony

Third time in this beautiful lodge,love the hot tub and the sauna,and its great having your own garden . The last twice we were there you got free half hour swims,this time you only got one free swim after that it was 16 for a half hour swim which I felt was expensive,and added a large expense on to your holiday as the swimming pool was one of the reasons I retuned to Cedar lodge.

Barbara

Everthing was wonderful and so helpful. Would recommend

Cedar is a beautiful lodge, it has everything you need for a perfect stay except a corkscrew for the bottle of wine we brought and hadnt noticed it had a cork The lodge was lovely and clean, we loved the hot tub and sauna, the hot tub was clean and hot, just perfect. The welcome pack was very much appreciated especially the chocolates, they were a very tasty treat, the fresh eggs were also lovely. We will definitely be back.

Muzaffer

It was an amazing time at the lodge. Lovely lodge everything you need was there and the owner and all the staff were very friendly. We will definitely be going back

Aaleyah

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at cedar lodge, it was everything we wanted. all of the extra little touches truly made our stay complete. Hot Tub & the bath was amazing, very spacious lodge and would definitely come back and will be recommending to family and friends. Kitchen on site was amazing and was very simple to order food to take back to our cabin. We had a wonderful 4 night stay, will be back in the future

What a lovely relaxing stay The staff and facilitys were amazing and the lodge was absolutely fantastic clean and wonderful greetham is such a lovely village everybody is friendly would highly recommend to anyone we will be back thats for sure

Nadine

Absolutely beautiful lodge. All the amenities you could ask for. Perfect place if you just want a relaxing weekend Only 1 negative the plug in the bath didnt work properly so water kept draining out apart for that it was a perfect weekend and will definitely be returning.

We had a delightful stay at the cabin it was exceptionally beautiful and spacious, matching the images exactly. While we appreciated the ambiance, we thought it would have been even better if the TV were a smart TV, and the one in the bedroom could have been larger. On the second night, the temperature in the hot tub dropped below 40 degrees, but the accommodating staff allowed us to use another cabin's tub. Unfortunately, the plug in the bath didn't effectively catch water, preventing us from using the bath. Despite these minor inconveniences, the staff was very friendly. Overall, it was an excellent getaway for my partner and me, and we look forward to returning in the future

Enjoyable few days great that there is a hot tub and a sauna in the lodge

Everything you could possibly need to unwind and relax, already booked our fourth stay and only got home from our last one this morning!

Eunice

Cedar Lodge lovely and spacious. Very well equipped kitchen not that we cooked!. The lodge had everything we needed and was comfortable. Hot tub and sauna were a bonus. No dogs allowed was another bonus as there wasn't any smell from dogs. Would definitely recommend.

Patricia

Third visit every thing as good as the first . Lovely place and nice welcome pack . Hope to go back sometime in the future.

Very clean site, well equipped lodge and staff on site very friendly and helpful. We will be back!

Absolutely lovely stay from start to finish! Perfect get away!

Lovely lodge Very clean and private The bath was a nice touch in the bedroom with the lights at night The kitchen had everything you need to make ur food Hot tub was lovely to relax in And not far to the village to go to the pub for supper

Prinston

Ive had a fantastic time. Good location and facilities however the bed room was cold on the first night and we didnt have any means to make it any warm. They have sorted everything out the next day but it was a shame wasting 1 night. Overall i highly recommend the place i will definitely return again!!!

Just one word from me and my partner WOW this place is absolutely stunning

Joanne

What a lovely stay and so spacious for a couple. We absolutely loved the bath in the bedroom, the extra touches, sauna in the bathroom. The security of the location and how friendly everyone was. Loved it so much coming again and the villagers were a dream. Just a few negatives no instructions how to turn the sauna on and the tv really needs to be a smart tv as would have loved just to chill and watch Netflix.

Desiree

It was lovely cabin, clean, very spacious and very well equipped. I would add to the list hair dryer and iron so they dont need to be taken. Instruction for the sauna would be good as we had to get some help.

Lovely and peaceful. Beautifully furnished just what we needed for a romantic break

Jeanette

We had such a lovely, relaxing holiday at Cedar Lodge. The staff were friendly. The site lovely and quiet. The lodge had everything we needed and was lovely and clean. The location was good, we visited a few local towns and Rutland Waters. We didn't want to come home. We'll definitely be returning for another visit.

Robert

Had a very relaxing stay, only dislike TV in bedroom too small and both TVs should have smart capabilities and connect to WiFi, in need of updating.
