Rowan Lodge Reviews

Sheila
Rowan lodge is a lovely and well presented lodge. The kitchen is well stocked with crockery and utensils. The welcome pack is a lovely gesture. We were under the impression the lodge had a sauna, but the private garden, hot tub bbq and seating are a real bonus. The only negative, cleaning could be more thorough, windows were in need of a good clean, and floors needed mopping.
Samatha
We had a fantastic stay here! Hot tub was incredible and well looked after. The lodge was so well equipped and we had a lovely welcome pack with a bottle of bubbles! Staff were helpful and friendly and hiring the pool privately was a real highlight! I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone!
Philip
Lovely clean, comfortable, and well equipped cabin. Appreciated a private a secure cabin with its own garden and secluded hot tub. The welcome pack was generous and thoughtful. The location was central for access and walks to the village and other areas.
This is such a lovely place to stay, lodges are well equipped and maintained
Tatiana
The lodge was extraordinary, everything was all organised, very clean and we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this place.
Helene
We really enjoyed our stay and have already booked another! Great, spacious lodge, very warm with underfloor heating, lots of storage and some lovely treats on arrival. Great to have plenty of towels and bathrobes too. The hot tub was great! Fantastic idea to be able to book exclusive use of the pool. The only constructive feedback I would give is that there wasnt enough cutlery two teaspoons!, the wifi signal did not stretch to the bedrooms and that the pool area changing rooms werent very clean. Overall a fantastic stay, thank you!
Alastair
I cannot speak highly enough of this lodge and the facilities around it. The lodge was equipped with everything necessary for a good stay and the place was immaculately clean when we arrived. The staff on site were friendly and helpful, I will be returning to repeat this holiday experience in the near future. Thank you to all involved.
What a beautiful lodge with all the comfort of home. Hot tub in your private side garden was a nice touch. Indoor Swimming pool which can be booked for 30mins for just your group! Really nice helpful people. Small issue with ants on the second day but to be expected anywhere you go, and few crumbs left in cupboard. This would not put me off booking again. Ill be definitely going back
Put in Willow Lodge as hot tub not working in Rowan this wasnt a problem. Lodge was lovely, clean and comfortable, excellent wifi and well equipped. There was an issue with the heating apparently the boiler had an intermittent fault, which meant that sometimes the lodge was chilly. We didnt complain as, because it was intermittent, we thought it was us just feeling the cold more! We mentioned it on leaving and were given the explanation. It would have been nice to have been told earlier and perhaps been given an alternative form of heating for when it wasnt working. The only other small issue was the grout in the onsite shower was very discoloured and could do with a good clean. Despite these issues we would return like a shot its a lovely place.

There were a few minor fixings that we noticed but nothing to the detriment of our stay but left a note to let the owner know The lodge, hot tub and utilities in the kitchen were excellent, we will hopefully look to return again

Notified about problem with hot tub on arrival told it would be ok next day it didnt work for the whole of our stay we were told to use tub in empty lodges next door on Wednesday but no outside lights on so unsafe on Thursday offered use of tub 3 lodges away but dont wish to walk around site in dark in swimwear in 4c temp very poor service we go there for the use of hot tub which we couldnt use for our entire stay, they knew there was a problem we should have been offered alternative accommodation there were plenty empty lodges we reported problem several times but nothing done, not even any compensation very very poor service after 6 visits sadly we wont be back
Rowan Lodge is the 2nd to last lodge on the right. Lovely accommodation that has everything needed for a week or more stay. Hot top was always hot and easy to use. Lots of stunning places to visit including Rutland Waters, Exon, Stamford and other chocolate box villages. Would highly recommend.
The location of the lodges on the site is well thought out. You would never think anyone else was around outside of the lodges. Staff very friendly, very helpful. Just be aware if your on EE reception is terrible
garita
The whole site was absolutely amazing and so peaceful! ! The Lodge was of an excellent standard and provided everything we needed. It was also great value for what we got. All the staff were so friendly and we slept so well!! The location was spot on with easy access to lots of amenities and places to see. We will definitely return.
Could not fault this amazing gem of a lodge , the photos were great but in reality it was better still , we will definitely return again at some point in the future , and so many places to visit local too . The little treats left for us were a lovely touch too . Highly recommended by all of our party thankyou
Very friendly and happy to help in any way. You feel as if you are in the country with peace, quiet and of course the great hit tub

Very nice site polite and helpful people lodge was nice but let down by poor house keeping dust and old food remains in between cushions crumbs left on top of toaster the oven had burnt food still on the shelves shower screen had one set off wheels completely out off the track door and draw handles loose locked in bathroom for five minutes due to loose door lock out of 3 tvs you could only watch one bedroom tv stuck on one channel only and in the other bedroom tv aerial problems advertised has a luxury lodge these things spoilt it for me
Christina
Beautiful lodge, would definitely recommend and we will be booking again in the future
Mahabad
One of the best lodge in Uk and very comfortable, sure I will back later
Robert
Fourth trip to this site and the third different lodge. They have been near identical apart from one building being a mirrorimage of the others. Missus is already asking when we will go back. Equipment and facilities in the lodge are excellent and of a better standard than we have at home. Staff welcoming but nonintrusive.
The lodge was exactly as stated, and the extra touches of luxury made it a very enjoyable stay
Super location. Top quality accommodation. Hot tub in private garden. Will be back again.
John And Pat
Great time All good
Malley
Rowen lodge was fantastic and just what we wanted needed. Everyone we spoke to was more than happy to help and so friendly! The facilities In the lodge were better than we could have thought. We really really loved the heated flooring, many bonus points. There was everything you needed to cook i.e. pots pans, cutlery. MY partner had 1 comment of maybe include more than 1 frying pan. However, didn't affect our stay plus who really cooks that much aha. The swimming pool was a great addition, but do bear in mind it is chilly water. Again, will not effect your time. THE HOTTUB IS THE BEST THING! Of an evening laying the in hot tub looking up at the stars was so beautiful. We will 100 be booking to come back in warmer weather. The local villages were so peaceful and beautiful to explore. Would highly recommend. They also have a park onsite with camping spaces and motorhome hook ups. We didn't try but a couple times a week there is a caf open which seemed to have a great menu and prices.
New Cushions for settees req, not very comfortable ones already in.
My second visit and not my last it was great
Tanisha
It was our first time here and the stay was just amazing. The lodges were clean and had everything we needed. Thank you!
Michael
Great place to use as a base to tour around the area. Very clean, very quiet, well appointed cabin. Any minor problems were dealt with very quickly by very friendly staff. Excellent food in the on site cafe. Would highly recommend it.
Lovely clean hot tub and lodge. Peaceful location on a nice secluded site. We enjoyed a relaxing week. Thank you.
Great place to stay , every thing we needed , will stay again .
We family of 4, had a long weekend at Rowan Lodge and we couldnt have been happier. The lodge itself was well equipped, spacious and warm. The double bed was a bit squeaky but, we coped. The hot tub was fantastic and being able to hire the pool for a private swim was amazing. Location was perfect for exploring around the area, Oakham, Stamford and Rutland Water all within a short drive. All in all, a lovely stay and one which well hopefully repeat soon. Thank you.
Nosizo
We had a lovely stay. The place was beautiful, clean and very comfortable. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Massive thanks for booking us in at the last minute and making sure everything was ready for us in a few hours.
Melissa
Overall we had a fantastic stay in Rowan Lodge. It was spotlessly clean and all communication prior to our stay was brilliant. Check in and out was very easy and all staff were friendly and welcoming. Only three very small comments Would it be possible to have recycling boxbin in the accommodation to make recycling easier, The patio paving slabs would benefit from a clean as they were a bit slippery and green, We felt it would be fairer to allocate the number of free swimming pool sessions proportionate to the length of stay. So the longer the stay the more free sessions you receive. We were very comfortable in the accommodation and would definitely stay again and recommend it to others.
Perfect in every way! !!
Third visit this year, always really welcoming and warm when we arrive, even if its freezing out! Bottle of fizz and eggs on arrival is a lovely touch. Really clean, beds are very comfortable, under floor heating is amazing! Hot tub is great, plenty of towels and robes to use. The swimming pool is a bonus, nice and warm as well. Good location for Rutland Water plus walking distance to a couple of pubs and parks for kids. All in all absolutely ideal for a relaxing getaway
Sophie
I got more than I expected. I was amazed by the cleanliness of the lodge, the amenities and the attention to detail. It's obvious that the site is run by passionate people who love what they do. I was looking for tranquillity to escape the city and this week was really rejuvenating. Finally, I work in tourism and I have rarely seen such a level of professionalism and such quality of accommodation. I would add that the term luxury is absolutely not usurped. I will be back, that's for sure.
One of the best accommodations for cleanliness I have stopped in. Love the modern appliances & the little extras like the welcome package with proseco & chocolates & also the toiletries.All amenities were well thought of for a very comfortable stay
The property was very clean and well kept only problem was that the doors kept sticking. The site was lovely and quiet and very secure. The site is well positioned for easy access to all the tourist attractions in the area and we enjoyed a nice and relaxing holiday there and will be happy to come back again soon.
Excellent! Extremely clean,comfortable & welcoming. Very well equipped kitchen. Shower was easy for my disabled husband to walk in & use. Beds & sofas v comfortable. Loved the v private patio,with furniture & hot tub. Couldn't fault a thing. Enjoyed our stay & I'm sure we will be back! Thank you
