  Leaving a 4-star review, really enjoyed our time here.

  Great location and this is a huge static caravan with everything you could possibly need / want, including a couple of walk in wardrobes! We will definitely return, and are even considering purchasing something in the local area, it had a very positive impact on us. Whilst there was a lot of things that amazed us, I thought there were other areas of the experience that could definitely be improved upon, hence having to drop the 1-star. - I didn't feel connected to the owner whilst we were staying here. More specifically, we hadn't visited the area before and there was no local information made available about the area, or any kind of guide that had been left for us. It's always nice to have be given recommendations on what there is to do and see in the local area. A simple folder with local attractions would have been a nice touch - Or a personalised contact / email ahead of the booking. - Additionally to the above, and having spoken to a lot of the the local business owners on our trip, there is huge opportunity in affiliating with them to generate some local trade with holiday makers, and including in aforementioned "guide". The local Wheatsheaf pub is a prime example of this, something I recommend the owner to explore. Essentially, assume everybody is new to the area and this is your opportunity, as the facility owner, to give your impression and vision of Langham and the surrounding attractions. Oakham for example, is absolutely stunning and worth 1/2 - 1 full day exclusively. - Although the property is finished to a good overall condition, I think the master bed could do with a little attention. The only way I could accurately describe the experience, was like a waterbed. Any movement on one side of the bed would affect the opposite end of it, so any movement at all will disturb anybody else sharing the bed. - 4x people included on the booking, but only 3x full size towels provided. Small one, but had been overlooked. Tried to contact but phone number just rang out - No other support details were left, so we just had to accept it. - Very small one, but worth a mention - we had bin bags, but no bin carcass to put them in, so had to kind of hang it from the cupboard doors. Manageable but really there should be a bin provided. These items didn't deter us from our stay and overall we were very happy. Hope the owner takes the feedback constructively in the way that it was meant. Very minor adjustments, for what I feel will be a major gain to your guests.

  Highly dissatisfied with our weeks stay at church view.

  Sofas are incredibly uncomfortable, luckily there was a tv in the bedroom, we spent evenings watching tv in bed. The hot tub added a lovely touch to our stay, however, this is extremely dirty and full of flies, when I asked the reception team for a net, they said the hot tub guy will be round to clean it and suck the flies out, he did come round to the lodge, unfortunately only flicking a few out. On our first night, we had a small issue with the plug in the bath getting stuck and we were told by maintenance team to simply use the public showers outside if this weren’t fixable, I was immediately taken back by this as I would have booked a camping trip at a cheaper price! We have previously stayed in other lodges on site which we were very happy with, as per our re visit now with a dog. Church view is actually a lodge split in half, divided by just a door with reception, I didn’t have a problem with this, as stated in the description upon booking, however, they charge just as much for this as they do for the other lodges. The worst part of our stay had to be the awful burning smell from the industrial building across from the lodge, this is super intense and meant we couldn’t even use the garden, we were lucky to have a lovely hot week (30 degrees plus), and felt VERY disheartened that using the garden was made impossible without coughing, not to mention horrible for our dogs health! Although, sitting in the garden was extremely uncomfortable anyway due to the wooden furniture, sunloungers may as well not even be in place, horrendous comfort! Cafe food is worth the star I have given, incredible food and reasonably priced. Won’t be returning!

  Beautifully presented lodge, on a quite secluded site.

  Only a short walk in to the village and a short drive to Oakham. The lodge was lovely and clean for arrival. The host provided a lovely welcome pack of tea, coffee, coffee pods for the coffee machine, prosecco and fresh eggs. The lodge was extremely well equipped with tv's in both the lounge and bedroom, CD player/radio, Wi-Fi access and a well equipped kitchen, with induction hob, double oven, microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine as well as kettle, dolce gusto coffee machine and toaster. Also provided was a cleaning hamper with cleaning products, washing up sponge, cloth and dishwasher tablets. The bed was extremely comfortable and a fan is provided for those warmer nights. The bathroom was well equipped with a over the bath shower which is both hot and very powerful, with plenty of towels provided and fresh bath robes. The hottub was fantastic, well maintained and hot for arrival and maintained daily during our stay. The patio area also had table and chairs with a parasol, sun loungers and a bbq. Despite other reviews about noise with this lodge being attached to the reception building we had no complaints, yes you could hear a bit of chatter and laughter from reception, I wouldn't consider it noisy, and this was only between 8am-6pm not early in the morning and late at night and we found it extremely peaceful. Will definitely be returning again.

  Lovely modern property super clean and set in a fantastic location if you want to just switch off from the world which we did.

  The property had everything we needed, was huge! It had a well appointed kitchen, hidden utility room was a great find and so well done! Huge bonus was a fantastic Nespresso machine with pods included! Super comfortable beds and linen, loved that each room had its own en-suite so if you came with family no waiting for the bathroom! The log fire was so cosy and warm, we only used it once and the same with the hot tub, but that was mainly due to the poor weather and rain. TV was huge and we were able to log into our Netflix which was nice. The owner called us on the day after check in to make sure we were ok which was a lovely personal touch and really appreciated. We did struggle to get through the electric gates the night we arrived - I’m not sure how we got in but pressed a load of buttons and they opened! Perhaps these instructions in the Sykes App with the lock box code would be good. The only things that would be helpful would be perhaps a 1 page guide with this information, the fact there was a remote gate fob and also the WiFi password as I had to go hunting in the cupboard for it but did find it eventually. Perhaps a list of local supermarkets, shops etc is useful but honestly these are just thoughts we had and didn’t deter from our stay! 100% we will be back again very soon as loved it and will bring the parents for a long weekend too!
