  The surroundings were spectacular and secluded and were as we'd expected.

  The bedlinen was clean and fresh, and the toilet sink and bath were clean, as was the fridge and cooker. However the general cleanliness was lacking and the standard of the yurt was poor. Previous reviews have suggested that the yurt is in need of some TLC and that it was shabby.......this is in my opinion an understatement........dust, sticky handles, cobwebs and when we first walked in there was a strong odour. The outside furniture was dirty and would have needed to be cleaned thoroughly before we used it, which we were not prepared to do. At the very least we expected the property to be scrupulously clean, especially given current circumstances (global pandemic). We did not take this up with the owners, who live on site, as we felt that it was not something that could be put right in a couple of hours, and we did not feel that we wanted to have to unpack etc, or vacate the yurt for any length of time. In spite of this, we did enjoy the week, and the surrounding area is beautiful. Would certainly go back to this area, but not to this accommodation. I'd suggest that anyone considering making a booking, should read the reviews further back than this year, and also for the other yurts on the site. The problem of cleanliness seems to be a recurring theme, going back some time, and one which neither the owners nor Sykes cottages appears to have addressed.

  Redwood Lodge is a lovely log cabin, new 2024.

  It is comfortably furnished with every thing you need. Sofas and bed very comfortable. Only downside for us was the height of the dining chairs. My wife is not very tall and also being disabled she could not reach to sit on the chairs, we thought this might be a problem for us as the pictures of the interior of the lodge showed the chairs, so we used the coffee table for our meals. The height of the dining chairs would not be a problem for most people. The lodge is off a quiet main road along a hard surfaced driveway about 100 metres from the main road. Very quiet and peaceful location. The lodge has ample room for two people. The owner Sally-Anne welcomed us upon arrival and showed us around the lodge explaining anything we were unsure about. We would recommend this lodge without hesitation

  This is the ultimate in intimate getaways.

  You are completely surrounded by the sounds of nature without the intrusion of technology - No WiFi - brilliant! Poor phone signal - bliss! If you simply can't do without the constant "chatter" from your devices - go somewhere else, but if you do want privacy and relaxation this place is literally perfection. Be prepared to see Kingfishers, Woodpeckers, Kites and Buzzards, Deer hirds all on your "back porch" and from the privacy of your own hot tub - where else can you get this experience? We've been all over the country and Europe, but we still come back to The Secret Island yurt and that has to count for something. Treat yourself to something special and tell me I am wrong if you can (and no, I am not a member of the owners family, just a very satisfied customer.)

  Boosters lodge is a lovely lodge on a quiet site on the banks of the beautiful River Avon.

  Plenty large enough for 4 adults. The lodge was very clean and well equipped. A double bedroom with en-suite and twin room with 2 full size single beds. Two very comfortable sofas in the lounge could have done with an extra coffee table. There is a decking area overlooking the river with table and 2 chairs. We took our own picnic chairs as there were 4 adults. As a previous reviewer said it’s not easy to find. There is a map of the site just after the entrance barrier. It only gives lodge numbers no names. Boosters Lodge in number 80. Drive straight down to the river, turn right and it’s the 7th lodge on the left. Key box is on the upright at the top of the steps opposite the door. It was better than expected and we hope to return.

  We really enjoyed our stay at Boosters Lodge.

  The view of the river was picturesque as the boats,ferry, and paddle boarders past. The lodge was immaculate and well equipped. The heating system was easy to use which we turned off when we went out and at night. They supplied cleaning materials, toilet rolls, refuse sacks, coffee, tea and sugar although we did use our own coffee and tea. This site was nice and quiet and the Riverside restaurant was good. We could not use the ferry as my husband has a disability but a very useful means of getting into Stratford. It is also walkable. The steps to the lodge are quite steep and my husband just managed them and we knew there were steps when we booked. We would really recommend this lodge as it is well furnished, comfortable and good value for money.
