Leanne Read

We spent a very nice weekend at High Lodge and came home feeling very relaxed. The site is small and peaceful and at times we felt like the only ones there. Our lodge was really stylish with a nice balcony area where we could sit out and enjoy the views. My husband enjoyed the golf course too.

Wonderful lodge had everything we needed. View of lake is splendid.Just a minor detail, in the bathroom there is no where to put a toilet bag and in the shower no where to put shower gel or flannel.We will be back in the future and would request the same lodge.

Lovely lodge overlooking the lake. A bit confused as to why the fishing posts are we're they are but didn't use it as we do not fish !

Paul

Date of stay: 25th August 2024

A great relaxing break with good fishing within yards of the lodge. Plenty of interesting places close by too. The lodge is large, comfortable and well equipped.

We went home within one day.

Date of stay: 18th April 2024

The lodge was okay. Bedroom is spacious which is nice and there is a tv in there as well as the living room. The view from the veranda, over the little lake, is lovely too as were the sweet treats left as a welcome gift and the other few necessities provided, e.g. extra bin bags, small carton of milk, toilet rolls, a fan in the cupboard (useful as many lodges weve visited havent provide this). However, for the price, a few things fell short compared to other lodges weve stayed at. The bed was big, but not overly comfortable. The hot tub worked, which was good, though it sounded like it was on its last legs which made it difficult to relax without the jets on, as the motor made a continuous loud juddering type of noise that couldnt be ignored. The cover for the hot tub controls was also crumbling away, meaning you cant really read which button does what (also just doesnt look very nice). Though the biggest let down was that there wasnt a bath tub in the bathroom, as included in the advertisement pictures. I feel that the picture should be updated to reflect the actual bathroom, considering we booked this lodge because we believed there would be a bath tub, just to arrive and there not be one - or perhaps explicitly say that the bathroom picture is not for this particular lodge. Every other picture for the inside of the lodge was accurate, just the bathroom is not for some reason. So, again, we booked here purely for the hot tub and bathtub - and one sounded broken while the other wasnt there, so for that reason we will likely not rebook this lodge in future.

Excellent lodge all round! Very clean and with modern fittings. Everything we needed and at a great price. We loved the very comfortable bed, which had plenty of pillows and also enjoyed the homemade goodies from the local bakery, which were left for us to enjoy!

We totally enjoyed our stay at high lodge it was peaceful and relaxing . We are planning to go again. Hopefully soon

Ellie

We were a party of 6 ladies celebrating a 60th Birthday. The setting of our Lodge was wonderful, peaceful and with lots of wildlife including some cheeky hares, ducks and other birds. We didn’t use any of the facilities. The restaurant had limited opening times which didn’t suit us. Something tripped our power and we had to call out of hours and they were exceptionally helpful. Great communications and someone came to check too. Lovely hot tub which seemed to work better after the electrical issue! Comfortable beds, good outdoor table and seating and the kitchen was equipped sufficiently to cook basic meals. The dishwasher was a little unpredictable. The check in was very limited - open from 4.00pm to 5.00pm which when travelling a distance we felt was a little unreasonable. Email details were sent on how to access as we were still travelling at 5.00pm. It did feel a little remote and you need a car to get anywhere really. However if you want a break where you stay on site, participate in High Lodge activities such as the target sports and fishing then it would suit you well. Overall we enjoyed our weekend break and would recommend.

Jean

Lovely peaceful setting, apart from clay shooting, but I expected that.. cafe was clean and pleasant with lovely staff, both there and on reception. I did have a broken window latch, which I reported, but nothing done about it. Cabin could be easily accessed while I was away. A bit of concern for me. I am what you’d call a person with walking difficulties, but I am able to climb a few steps and walk short distances over gravel paths. I’m not sure if you cater for wheelchair/mobility scooter users but the gravel could be very difficult. Perhaps a couple of hard surface disability parking spaces outside reception would be useful, therefore enabling easy access to the cafe etc.. do you even have any cabins accessible for wheelchairs? It would be good if you have , because the cabins are roomy enough inside. A wet room shower room would probably be needed. I loved the way the cabins all overlooked the lake, without looking into each other’s accommodation.

Raymond

A most enjoyable and relaxing stay would thoroughly recommend this site

Evelyn

Perfect place for relaxation and peace with everything we needed in a superb lodge.

Keith
