If you want a lovely chilled get away this is the place , everywhere is lovely and clean , the hot tub is what the doctor ordered , the lodge had everything in it , very home from home , Im an organised person so took everything we wanted to be there and didnt have to leave if we didnt want to , the owner very friendly and chatty and said if we wanted anything just ask, cant wait to go back thank you
Beautiful accommodations and amenities Quite and relaxing environment Nice fishing pond with a friendly dog that greeted us and perfect for beginners. All the mod cons youd want inside tv, cooker, fridge etc comfy beds with warm welcoming space. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants to get away and relax.
When I arrived the staff was helpful and friendly. The accommodation was clean had everything you needed, the best part of it was the private hot tub was nice and relaxing, peaceful. I would definitely come back again in a heartbeat. Also it has private parking on site by the lodge you are staying at. Me and my friend only stopped for one night but would stay for 3 or 4 nights next time. Thanks again.

This place is just amazing it was lovely for a few days we spent with my mum and my daughter. It was clean and comfortable. People was very welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place we had the best time.

Not worth 770 at all

We had an incredible getaway and a very enjoyable experience. The cottage itself was clean, tidy, and wellmaintained. The kitchen was wellequipped, making it easy to prepare meals. The beds were comfortable, and the living area was cozy and inviting.
Seyyed
I do not recommend this place at all. The hot tub was dirty, and there was broken glass inside which injured my wifes foot. Every morning there was loud gardening and maintenance work, making it impossible to relax and enjoy the space. The host was also extremely unprofessional and rude throughout our stay.
Joanne
We had an amazing 4 nights at Swan Lodge, the lodges are perfect with hot tubs. They are spotlessly clean, well equipped and spaced apart. The younger kids enjoyed the park area, lots of restaurants, pubs near by are family friendly. Drayton manor theme park is 30 mins away ..We could not fault it and plan to return during the summer.
The lodge was perfect for our two week stay! It had all the comforts and accessories needed to make sure we felt at home. It is located on a lovely piece of land that is quiet and spacious. We enjoyed dinner on the deck watching the sunset over the lake and relaxed in the hot tub after a long day! We didnt have a car during our stay but the lodge was within walking distance of shops and restaurants. We will definitely book again.
