  It was just what I needed.

  A perfect break from everything without losing the mod cons. There was no tv and this was just perfect. We had a pc to watch movies in the evening. It was so lovely to wake up to the lake and geese, ducks and swans in the morning. After a few days the ducks got so used to us they would come onto our decking, have a look around then go back in the pond. Be careful not to leave the yurt door open when out of site as the ducks will go inside! It was so peaceful and nice to wake up in the morning and not see houses, people or cars. There was a limited bus service into Tewkesbury and Evesham. Both lovely towns. Like going back in time when you come from a city - in a nice way. People are so friendly. The owners were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The bed was clean and comfortable. Having a dishwasher was a real luxury. I loved sitting on the decking in the morning and also going in the hot tub in the evening. It was a real escape. Even though the owners house and other yurts were close by the yurt was so secluded it felt like being alone in the countryside. For those on public transport the bus can be flagged down by the side of the road. They do stop running at 5.45 from Tewkesbury. We didn't try to get a taxi back so not sure how much that would cost. The hob worked well. There was a fire in the outdoor seating area and it can be made more sheltered on a rainy day by closing the sliding door. Excellent place to stay. Have looked at other yurt holidays but they don't have the extra home comforts like this one does.

  I have tried several times to contact Sykes by phone (no one answers!

  ) and via email to which I have had no acknowledgement. I find it extremely infuriating when a person books a holiday and they have a valid complaint or constructive feedback and wish to communicate with Sykes and are constantly ignored. I have booked many, many cottages through various agents and can honestly say Sykes customer service is appalling. Please stop using COVID-19 as an excuse for not providing professional customer service. This was the first time I’ve booked through Sykes and it will be the last time. When you wanted a booking you were quick to act and response and service was fantastic up until the holiday ended. That’s where customer service took a back seat and you haven’t had the decency to return my phone calls or reply to even one of my emails. The standards were poor and I wanted to advise you with constructive feedback. I don’t expect anyone will reply, even now - it’s just one that is swept under the carpet. You’ve had your money and just don’t care. Please take me off your mailing list. If you cannot be bothered to reply to your customers, I certainly won’t be using you again. Great customer service is what makes a company stand out so why would I recommend Sykes when you can’t be bothered with your clients. Thank you. F Weekley

  What an amazing find.

  Broadway village is on the same road as Pennylands and is literally a mile away which is perfect if you like a tipple or two. Judi and Glen were perfect hosts and have equipped the lodge’s with everything you need. We had a fully English breakfast several days and I made us dinner one evening too. The open plan living made it a joy for me to cook whilst looking at the stunning views. The beds were so comfortable and each bed had firm and soft pillows. There are two fantastic en-suite bathrooms which was brilliant as we were a party of two couples. We had the twin room which made a nice change as my other half fidgets. There were complimentary sachets of hot chocolate and a selection of biscuits waiting for us along with milk, tea, coffee, sugar and several cleaning and bathing products which was very welcomed. In our opinion the lodges are first class and the location is perfect. We ate at the Swan which was delicious. We also tried a chippy tea take away from Russell’s Fish & Chips which was so reasonably priced and actually cheaper than where we live in Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield. We would recommend a visit to Bourton-on-the-Water and Moreton in the Marsh. All in all, a thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable stay with amazing hosts that are on hand and really helpful.

  The yurt was as described.

  We would have liked to have used the boat which was in the description, but it was dirty and full of water, so were unable to. The bed was super comfy. It got very hot in the yurt and the fan provided didn't make a difference. Spiders and beetles were a daily occurance, but you are staying in a woodland property, so to be expected. A full screen on the door would have been great, and stopped the mosquitos. The hot tub was amazing. The light didn't work for evening dips which was a shame. We googled how to use the hob. The deck area isn't suitable for fishing, as too high to lift fish over safely. The covered area is a great addition in hot or rainy weather. A flushing toilet was an unexpected bonus. Private, clean, functional. Evesham and Tewkesbury close by. The Beckford Inn was lovely and welcoming. The owner was lovely and the maintenance guy dave, very friendly and helpful in sorting the hot tub, mid stay. We didn't want to come home! We would love to return to experience one of the other yurts.

  Having read all the fulsome praise regarding the Lakeside Yurt, one is always concerned that it surely cannot be as good as the published comments.

  But happily on this occasion, we were not disappointed. We were very fortunate with the easter weather, so days were spent relaxing outside overlooking the lake and enjoying the antics of the resident birdlife. The facilities are more than adequate, but the yurt does get extremely hot during a sunny day, mainly due to the acrylic dome on the top of the yurt allowing the sun to heat the inside. Fortunately, the evenings were cool and by bedtime, the temperature had returned to normal. I expect at the height of summer, a fan might be required at night. As has been mentioned by others, an eye mask is essential to block out the early morning light. The owners were delightful and helpful, and on site if needed, out of sight if not. A very late decision to stay an extra day and miss the traffic was speedily and happily arranged, for which we were very grateful. Highly recommended.
