The staff were so friendly and helpful. Cabin was spotless and the Welcome Pack very welcome! We would certainly like to stay again. So relaxing which was just what we needed. Thank you Rutland Holiday Park.

Fantastic stay at Church view, we have stayed previously and was pleasantly surprised with the changes they had done. New WiFi, new hot tub, new sofas. We stayed for a week, and could of quite easily stayed for longer! Yes the lodge is attached to reception however, they dont bother you. The yard is secluded and private so the dogs weren't bothered about people walking past. We can't wait to come back again...

Such a lovely warm welcome from the moment we arrived. Staff very friendly and helpful. A lovely welcome pack was waiting for us which was greatly appreciated. The lodge itself was clean, comfortable and really well equipped. My husband loved the hot tub which was maintained daily. Our dog particularly liked the woodland walk into the village. We only ventured out once as we were just happy to chill out in the garden and lodge. We hope to visit again. Thank you!

Having stayed at the Rutland site before, we were at first a little disappointed that the lodge we had booked was not with the rest of the lodges but tucked behind the reception building behind the entrance to the tourers park. Having said that, the lodge was first class and very comfortable and large enough to easily accommodate the pair of us. Fittings and furnishings were good and everything worked. The hot tub was high spec. There was an area for BBQs and sunbathing. This was a little utilitarian and could have benefitted from some greenery. but it was secluded and a decent size. It's true that you can see a factorywarehouse roof from here, but it did not cause us any issues. Indeed we had a very restful and happy few days staying in the Church View lodge. The site itself is well situated for Rutland Water and the surrounding area and the village is only a ten minute walk away. There is a nice gastropub in the village. We would certainly stay here again. We

Rebecca

We had a great stay, lovely friendly staff. Great location for dog walks. The nicest week away from all the stress of working life.

Angela

Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely go back again

We enjoyed our stay in Church View. There was a welcome pack waiting for us with some coffee, milk and eggs and a bottle of Prosecco. Comfortable beds, fluffy towels and bathrobes. Every appliance you could want home from home. Will definitely be back.

Steven

The log cabin was comfortable, but in need of a deep clean. The location is pleasant, except that there is an industrial unit alongside which was occasionally quite noise. The hot tube needed some tlc. There was no information provided on arrival, regarding the availability of a free swim, we were not told where to take rubbish, we're not given details of WiFi until we went back to ask. The location and walk to the village was pleasant.

Very warm extremely clean excellent white goods. Very comfortable bed and lovely bed linen.

Cabin was clean and a nice welcome package on arrival Hot tub had a broken lid making it awkward to open at times Cabin was connected to reception so there was consistent noise during open hours No locks on bathroom door

This is the second time that we have stayed at Church View and this stay was just as enjoyable as last time. One of the settees has now been replaced with a much comfier one which made the stay more pleasant than last time. The lodge is lovely and warm, cosy and was spotlessly clean. Maintenance staff check the water in the hot tub daily and The Rutland Kitchen cafe opposite the lodge offers a great menu of both eat in and takeaway food. The Vegan pizza that I had was the best I have ever tasted and friends who came for the day said the same about their pizzas too.

Fantastic break staff brilliant friendly hot tub amazing pool superb shall be returning soon

The lodge was wonderful, very clean and great location. We took our dog with us and it was great for her, enclosed, clean and tidy, hot tub was lovely. Staff very helpful.

Spacious property, clean, well equipped and loved the jacuzzi

Jonathan

Lovely property and site, second time we've stayed on this site now and cannot fault the staff who are very friendly and helpful. Property itself was just as described, bed was lovely and comfortable, the sofa could possibly do with an upgrade but other than that everything else was spot on.

Alan G

Both the settees were in poor condition and the bathroom had not been cleaned ... Both the settees were in poor condition and the bathroom had not been cleaned The noise from the back was a continuous bang, bang However overall not bad we cut our stay and returned on Thursday

Well appointed cabin, that takes dogs and has a hot tub, what's not to like! Back area is mostly laid to slabs so my dogs were not used to this but they did wee in the gravel. There is some conversational noise that comes from Reception that adjoins but it didn't bother us and it closed at 6. The cafe opposite is an added bonus. Great selection of main mealsbreakfast and they will deliver.

Very well equipped lodge, great patio area with hot tub, sun beds and bbq, unfortunately we didnt get the weather to fully utilise. The lodge was described as next to reception, it is actually part of the same building, it wasnt quite as private as we would have liked but we still enjoyed our stay.

It must be noted, that this accom is not near reception, but it is part of the reception building, we could hear all the conversations of guests arriving and departing, there was only a door between the receptionoffice space to where we were accomadated, listing is not 100 accurate. Also, when we were cleaning on the last day there, we stripped the bed, only to find under the pillow case, a soaked blood stained pillow Germs ?, also tissues on the floor behind the bed stead !!!!!!!. All in all, a nice place to rest and relax, had all the facils that a house would have and met all our needs for a short stay

Gillian

We had a lovely time & found the lodge was suitable for my Husband & I plus our dog Sam. Lodge was fully equipped, even a welcome pack which was a surprise. We would stay at Rutland Lodges again.

Allan Peter

It was very clean when we got there and the site also was clean to. The food in the cafe was very good and every one was very friendly.

Fantastic property very clean and a good locality for the village well done

Colleen

Lovely cabin really enjoyed our stay. Clean, comfy and hot everything you need in the cabin. Besutiful tub as well. Would go again

Dianne

This was our third time staying at Church View. As usual we thoroughly enjoyed our stay the facilities are excellent. The staff on site are friendly and helpful and we always love the welcome pack of wine, chocolate and fresh eggs. The only issue worth mentioning is that the door between the lounge and bedroom doesnt have a working catch which meant our dogs could push open the door and sneak into the bedroom when we werent looking..

Stephen

Great little cabin, hot tub was excellent. Slight noisesmell disturbance from adjacent industrial unit, didn't spoil our stay but may affect some

Lionel

Excellent lodge really comfortable facility was excellent will go back soon

Heather

I enjoyed four lovely days at Church View lodge. The lodge was spotlessly clean. The owners provided everything from washing up liquid to a super welcome pack including eggs, chocolates and a bottle of wine, which I enjoyed very much during my stay. The bed was very comfortable, and the living area was very relaxing. Thank you for a lovely holiday venue.

Lindsey

Really nice lodge, with plenty of space, comfortable bed, enjoyable hot tub and great shower. Nice area with easy distance to local village and good location to areas of interest and walking. Park restaurant served very nice meals, site very clean and site never got overly noisy. Would definitely book again when visiting the area in the future. Staff very friendly and helpful. Brilliant location for people with dogs.
