Fisherman's Lodge is highly praised for its cleanliness, tranquil setting, and comfort. Guests enjoy the picturesque lake views, wildlife, and the warm welcome from the owners, often highlighted by a thoughtful welcome pack. While some minor issues with facilities and accessibility for the disabled are noted, the overall sentiment is positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

Reviews consistently mention the lodge being 'spotlessly clean' and 'super clean', indicating high standards of cleanliness that contribute positively to guests' experiences.

The location is frequently described as peaceful, private, and beautiful, with a lake view and proximity to wildlife. It's also noted as a good base for exploring nearby attractions, despite being a bit tricky to find.

Guests find the lodge comfortable, mentioning 'great facilities', 'comfy bed', and 'relaxing views'. Some suggest additional seating for comfort, but overall, the lodge is considered very comfortable.

Facilities are generally well-received, with the fishing lake being a highlight. However, some guests suggest improvements in kitchen and bathroom facilities, and there are occasional mentions of issues with hot water and heating.

The welcome pack with fresh eggs and other local produce is frequently appreciated, reflecting the owners' thoughtfulness. It's important to note that such gifts, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

  • Sally-anne

    The bathroom has been upgraded to the photos on the listing and is excellent. Great location to enjoy the countryside and then visit pretty Saffron Walden and very close to Cambridge park and ride.

  • Michiel

    The best place to come home after a few days in busy London!

  • Elizabeth

    Positives...great welcome pack, the wildlife. We were offered clean bedding and towels for our second week. Negatives...no hand wash, no bathroom towel rail (we used our own clothes airer), no starter pack of bin liners, no kitchen roll, and no caddy for the kitchen waste. But that's me being picky.
