  Lovely lodge.

  Really nicely designed and built lodge with tasteful decor throughout. Pleasing view of pond, but watch out for the hotel guests (next door) who row boats on the pond - they can see directly into your property. Ducks come and visit, but don't stay to annoy. Quality hot-tub, neatly hidden out of view of other guests; watch shooting stars and milk way on a clear night. Great appliances; of special note is the oven - it's big and fast and accurate cooking; kettle also very fast. Some utensils that the lodge could have benefited from include, Pizza slicer, Ice cream scoop, sieve; but otherwise well equipped. Comfortable beds, but if you / your kids wake with daylight, be ware that the daylight gets in due to the curtains position - bring your own black-out blinds or use a towel to cover the window(s). Also be aware that the other guest lodges (which are perpendicular to this lodge) look directly on to your decking and outdoor table & chairs - and as a consequence of their position relative to yours, the sound from them carries straight to your lodge; we found this a little more intrusive than it should be, which might be mitigated by putting up trees to break the sound carrying. Other things to note is that there is no outdoor storage attached to your lodge for things like bikes - it would have benefited from secure bike storage. Finally note that there is building (construction) taking place of an additional four lodges immediately above this one - the construction was dormant whilst we were there, but presumably the owners will construct the addition lodges, and that will generate significant noise and disruption. Other than these things, we had a great stay - it is a genuinely lovely place.

  The advert is misleading.

  This isn't a private, quiet, holiday location. It's overlooked by four other properties. We had to listen to drunken idiots most evenings (it felt like a budget holiday park). The people who carry out the daily checks on the hot tub don't access it from the rear of the property (??!!), they bimble directly across the front, looking straight into the living room. A guy on a tractor turned up to mow our lawn, whilst we were trying to grab some sun and get a baby to sleep at lunchtime on our last day. The rear of the property is an absolute mess of metal fencing, as they're clearly building something. The garden furniture on the decking is very old/shoddy. One of the chairs stained my wife's t-shirt with rust. Despite the fact they have Sky at the property, they don't subscribe to any channels. As a result, on the days we were housebound, due to the weather, we couldn't even watch TV. The single beds are absolutely TINY. They're meant for children, so don't make the same mistake as us and assume that adults could sleep in them. I was insulted that after the week we had, and amount it cost, they had the audacity to leave a note instructing us to strip all the beds on the way out. I could go on, but I've made my point. I was not at all impressed considering I paid £2500 to stay at the property. It wasn't private, it wasn't relaxing, it wasn't worth the money. The owners need to be HONEST in their advertising and charge a lot less for what felt like a Butlins at times. We wouldn't stay there again if it was free.

  The property it's self is amazing it's as plenty of space.

  It could do with a coffee machine ,but also you could possibly change the mattress on the double bed and king size bed as they were very hard probably would benefit from memory foam ones specifically for people that as bad back problems like myself I have had a operation on my spine I broke part of my back so I have rods keeping the spine together and I found it very difficult to sleep in the bed so I sat on the lay out bit on the sofa and I slept there sitting up.but other then a few things I picked up there was dust on the skirting board behind the bathroom door upstairs and strands of hair the spar was amazing helped with my back pain but it is a great property and I would love to go back in the near future thank you for a lovely holiday at your property and I look forward to go back again .it was my partner who paid for the holiday he don't want his name put there so but mine as i have booked with you before a couple of years ago at Norfolk, so please put Tracey

  What an amazing experience to stay at Tarn Lodge (we stayed for 3 nights on Easter bank holiday).

  Building was big enough for our family of five, very clean and tidy. The facilities in the lodge were very good and it was much more than we expected - it includes every little thing that a family needs for a few days of holidays - unbelievable. Private car park for Tarn Lodge was really big and spacious. Kitchen includes every thing for cooking and washing. Bedrooms are nice and comfortable. Bathroom, shower room and toilets are very clean. Hot tub was very relaxing and the kids enjoyed it so much. Wi-fi is also very good (our experience - most of the lodges in other areas do not have wi-fi, or have wi-fi only in reception area). The scenes around the Tarn Lodge were amazing - including the small lake at the back. There was quite a lot of sense of nature - ducks, birds and rabbits around the house, and the kids were so happy to see them. Staying in Tarn lodge was way better than staying in a good hotel, and the charge was worth paying. 100% recommended.

  Quiet , comfortable and relaxing stay.

  Hot tub and sauna a real bonus. Flat and private garden. Children's play area was open, and another play area by the community centre. Comfortable bed, good shower and well equipped lodge. Welcome pack was lovely, the eggs were especially good. Fresh bread can be ordered from reception. Days out to Rutland Water, Oakham, Stamford, Fineshade Woods and Barnsdale gardens. Easy walk to village, 2 pubs and a shop. Ate in both pubs and would recommend them. Some details missing from website which would have been handy to know:- dressing gowns, washing up liquid and sponge, iron and board and hair dryer all provided. We also had to pay to hire the pool (£16); other reviews said it was free. Would benefit from black out lining in bedrooms and better clothes airer and pegs to avoid over reliance on tumble dryer. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, came back feeling relaxed. In this climate especially we felt safe and protected.
