Guests say
Oakdale Lodge is consistently praised for its comfortable, well-equipped, and spotless interiors, set in a peaceful and rural yet accessible location. Guests enjoyed the spacious living areas, the proximity to amenities, and the natural surroundings. The property is ideal for both short and extended stays, offering a home away from home experience.
Guests frequently mentioned the property was spotless and beautifully maintained, indicating a high level of cleanliness throughout the cottage.
The location is described as peaceful and rural, perfect for walks and relaxation, yet conveniently close to shops and restaurants. Some guests noted it was very dark at night, which may affect the score slightly.
Reviewers found the cottage to be comfortable, with a spacious lounge, great shower, and cosy atmosphere even during a heatwave. The presence of fans and the property's natural coolness added to the comfort.
The property is well-equipped according to guests, with a well-stocked kitchen and thoughtful amenities. However, some guests experienced issues with the WiFi, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
While guests appreciated the thoughtful gift left in the fridge, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, it is not possible to provide a score based on this aspect alone.

Katie
Lovely cottage. Very remote, but short drive to amenities. When we arrived we couldnt open keysafe, called owner and he came straight down and opened up for us. Very dark at night but lovely to hear wildlife and horses in fields surrounding. Warm and cosy. Great shower. Highly recommend and would go back

Ubytování bylo opravdu parádní, přesně jak jsem si to představoval. Vyrazil jsem sem s rodiči, sestrou a přítelkyní. Obývací pokoj je skvělý na večerní posezení.
