I would return as overall positive experience. It is not a luxury get away, but it is a step above the usual caravan holiday. Pros:- visually pleasing lodge with hot tub- nice restaurant that is dog friendly - friendly staff- great location for nice walks/short drive to some other nice walking locations.- has dog washwhich we used everydaywith warm water.Cons:- no breakfast or lunch available at the restaurant. - lodge was visually nice but was not good quality cheap plastic everywhere. It could have been cleaner. There was cobwebs in various places, cracks in the plaster of the walls and dust on top of cupboards.- no welcome hamper and had to hire/rent out bathrobes for hot tub.- hot tub needed more privacy screens, only had one and was overlooked by 4 lodges. - lodge located near to main road, resulting in disrupted sleep. Could hear cars and more so lorries going past.

Perfect space for the two of us! Basics were provided which is always a plus, had everything we needed for the week.

Date of stay: 31st March 2024
Great lodge with all we needed - a couple of lamps in the main living area would make it more cosy as the spotlights are very bright. We overcame this by turning the ones off in the seating area with the TV and leaving the kitchen and dining lights on. A standing lamp would be good in a corner but understand its another thinks to rep clean with guests leaving and arriving so regularly!

We had a wonderful 4-night stay in one of the premier lodges. It was immaculately clean, the bed was very comfy and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The hot tub was delightful and well worth it even on rainy days. Can't fault our stay, had a great time.

Very clean lodge with hot tub that was cleaned twice per day. Washing machine, dryer and dishwasher were available. Homely feeling inside the lodge. Not a lot to do in the area but it was nice just to chill and relax. Felt like the hours of use with the hot tub could have been later at night. You could only use the hot tub until 11 pm. Could have been a bit later than that. No toilet rolls available, so do take your own if you book here. Enjoyed our stay there.

We stayed in the dovedale pet friendly lodge. The lodge was lovely and clean and definitely pet friendly with gate at the door so dog couldn't escape if left open. It was also nice that the dog was left a gift of a new toy and some dog treats. The lodge was spacious and the bathroom was outstanding with lovely freestanding bath and walk in shower. Large veranda to sit outside and lovely little lights to turn on at night made sitting outside enjoyable. Would definitely come again

Every thing you wanted fridge , washer and dish washer but you need to bring all the supplies to use these. Furniture was good but the sofa had a cut in the seat cushion which you couldnt turn over so you didnt make it worse. Lovelly bathroom both shower and bath. Bed comfortable.

The lodge is spacious and has everything you want, except basics like a sponge and washing up liquid which is frustrating and feels a bit mean.

We had an amazing time, the lodge was beautiful and well equipped for cooking. Beautiful location, close to little cute villages like Bakewell, 100% would recommend. Would recommend for a family or a group of friends. FYI they don't have dishwasher tabs / sponges / washing up liquid but there is an Aldi near by.

This place is perfect for a break. The attention to details is great the lodge has everything you need. The appliances are all of quality. The heating was at our control and was very appreciated ???? as it was cold out. But we still used our hot tub, my husband loved it. This was checked every day by a member of staff. We had an issue with our door locking and the guy was waiting as we returned to the lodge and fixed it within 10 minutes of us reporting it. We will definitely be going back. A great find in beautiful surroundings. Dawin does great customer service.

Such a lovely stay here for the second time. The staff are very attentive and helpful both at reception and in the restaurant. The restaurant views and food were amazing. We had the benefit of a hot tub lodge which was so beautiful especially with the added benefit of snow. Even with the snow the staff worked hard to ensure our stay was safe and enjoyable. The accommodation was great, so much storage and modern decor and utensils makes it more luxurious. Weve stayed in two different style of lodges. The premier Bakewell and the premier Elkstone. Both lovely but I personally preferred the Elkstone layout. The location is great, lots of little walks and nearby towns to visit. I have no doubt we will be back for a 3rd time soon! Thank you so much for a lovely getaway.

I visited Rivendale Lodge Retreat with a group of friends for a weekend escape. We booked in January so that we had something to look forward to after Christmas, which meant that the price was very reasonable. There were 7 of us staying in 4 rooms (2 double, 2 twin) and everything was perfect. Every part of the lodge has been carefully thought out to make the most of the space. The living area was cosy and perfect for feasting and then snuggling up on the sofas. We spent every moment that we could in the hot tub, which was clean and a good size (cosy but there were quite a few of us!) - we never wanted to get out. We hired robes from reception (£5 + £5 deposit). There was parking just outside the lodge but its worth knowing that shopping deliveries can only go as far as reception. One day we went out for a walk to nearby Parwich and had a great meal at the Sycamore Inn (definitely recommend) and then headed to Chatsworth (20 mins away) after checking out. We probably would have been happy to stay in the lodge all weekend though! Were hoping to make the visit an annual event!
