We loved the hot tub and made full use of the swimming pool too. The property was clean and comfortable apart from the settees which were slopping down which made them really uncomfortable. A couple of light bulbs had blown and need replacing. It would have been a good idea to have two sets of key fobs. We had two cars and had to wait for the gate to be opened if we arrived back at different times. Overall a very enjoyable break.

Just love this place and works out so well. 2 hr drive from London. Quiet and secure compound but lovely country walking areas. 15 mins from Rutland Water where all the activities are. It works well for me and mu family plus extended family when we just wanna have a big family get together (and end up taking the two large log cabins as we've done last two years)

Both bathrooms had broken toilet seats. When management were told of these problems they came to get rid of the wasps with raid - which meant the whole lodge smelt awful. Nothing else was resolved and no apologies. A shame as this is our second stay here.
