" This is our third time to the Lodges and second stay in Oak Lodge. Very comfortable beds, lovely clean crisp bedding, super large soft towels and robes. Lovely furnishings throughout, the only complaints we have are "shame about the sofas", they are just sooo uncomfortable as they are pull out sofa beds not proper sofa's!!!! There is no blind or window covering at the kitchen sink which is required at night time. The hot tub has been changed in the last 6 months, it's not as large as the last one, really only max 4 people can fit in this together, it's ok. A beautiful and quiet location with only a short walk through the woods into the village and to the Plough Pub!! We loved the use of the on-site swimming pool and cafe too. We have already booked our next stay. Many Thanks

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)
