Really disappointed with our stay there, so much so that we left a night early. The lodge we stayed in was in one of the worst conditions we've stayed in. Really tired decor, windows that were dirty inside and out, ripped and marked furniture, appliances not working, uncomfortable bed where you could feel the mattress springs. Hot tub suitable for 1.5 people not 2, that's if you could get in it after reading the long list of rules before being allowed in, which you are warned to adhere to by the reception staff and the hob tub guy! Nowhere to hang towels (inside or out!). The main issue for us is that it is advertised as a luxurious lodge and mis-sold as even the photos on the website are not of the lodge itself - very misleading. We wouldn't return there.

We enjoyed 3 nights at Beaconsfield for the first time in August. We found the site very well kept and had a warm welcome on arrival. We found our lodge (Chestnut Lodge 1) to be spotless clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We had an evening meal in the Croft which was excellent and they even brought me ice cream and a sparkler for a birthday treat at the end of the meal. We were shown how the hot tub works and given a book regarding rules and information. The site is very quiet and geared for adults. We had a lovely view over the lake. Everyone was very friendly on our walks around the park. The double wardrobe and 2 toilets were a great bonus!Our only negatives were that you couldn’t go in the hot tub after dusk (I find that the best time for a dip). We were only left a couple of tea bags, had to buy more. No dressing gowns or slippers provided for hot tub. Nowhere to hang your towels when in the hot tub. Simple hooks would be great outside.Nowhere to hang towels in bathroom when wet as towel rail not big enough. Again, simple hooks in the bathroom would be great.We would recommend a stay at Beaconsfield and we will return when we are able!
