  I’m not sure where to start.

  The pictures alone of the pod were beautiful, but actually being there in person was just something else. The location is stunning! Waking up in the morning to views of the fields, viaduct and hills, was just beautiful! Relaxing in the hot tub under the stars. The pod itself was just adorable! I went with my two children, and I worried that being pretty much in the middle of nowhere would mean they’d struggle to be entertained, however they were just so taken in with where they were, and chatting the sheep that surrounded the site, that they never seemed to struggle to find entertainment. The walk from the pods to The Station Inn pub is a lovely, scenic short walk, and the food at the bar is second to none, again with stunning views of the surrounding area. There is also plenty to do in the surrounding areas that don’t require too far of a car journey, so many walks to go on, the caves are just 10 minutes down the road, and Lakeland Maise Maze is just 40 minutes away, perfect day out for families! All in all, I could not recommend this place enough, the owners and cleaners were extremely helpful! And the experience itself was just phenomenal. We will 100% be returning! If you’re an outdoors type of person and find beauty in nature, then this is 100% a must for an experience!

  We enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Olive Lodge in early June and were pretty lucky with the weather so we got to enjoy the comfortable external furnishings almost as much as the lovely interior ones.

  The Lodge has everything you need to enjoy a week long stay, regardless of the weather (sunshine helps though!). It is ideally located very close to the local beaches, Avon Beach is great for those with mobility issues, and on a park with really good facilities which cater particularly well for children and the young at heart (rekindled our youth briefly in the arcades!). The on-site restaurant serves up a decent breakfast and dinner if you want a break from cooking in the well equipped and decent-sized Lodge kitchen, but don't wish to travel. The Lodge is a good size for a 4 person stay with two bathrooms, both with showers (one of which is very small but adequate). The multiple Velux windows help to keep the living area relatively cool on a hot sunny day and has a fireplace to keep you nice and snug on colder evenings. If eating out, we would say you can't beat The Rising Sun pub and Lins fish & chips (best ever!) for quality. If you are holidaying in the wonderful county of Dorset, we would highly recommend The Olive Lodge, which stands out as the best amongst its neighbours on the park

  The Snug is a really lovely cottage - exactly as described, ideal for my husband, myself and our small dog.

  It was immaculately clean and provided everthing we needed for a relaxing week away. It's own garden, with bistro table and 2 chairs, was a particularly lovely benefit for both us and Wilson. Although the weather wasn't great and not nice enough to eat dinner outside, we had breakfast/lunch outside on several days. Maybe not a bad thing that it wasn't hot and sunny, otherwise we'd have happily sat outside all week, read our books and not visited the various places we did! The various "ornamental finishing touches" were very tasteful and the information folder about the property very comprehensive. The really lovely "extra" though was the Doggy Welcome Pack, which was much appreciated by Wilson, especially the treats and tennis ball. The Rising Sun pub at the beginning of the Village was a good recommendation for food, or just to walk to for a drink. We definitely want to visit the Peak District again and would want to stay at The Snug, it's name is appropriate and description accurate. It enabled us to enjoy a relaxing week away, which was exactly what we needed.

  On arrival the Chalet was clean though I had the impression that the bathroom at the rear had not been cleaned thoroughly due to the washbasin having a large pool of liquid soap from the dispenser underneath the dispenser which was not leaking.

  The Chalet is pleasant to stay in and comfortable however the passageway leading from the main living area to the bedrooms/bathrooms is very narrow so that we repeatedly knocked our arms on the door handles as we passed, my suitcase only just fitted in the width of it. It was reasonably well equipped though on looking for a cheese grater there was none so I bought a cheep one, everything else was good with enough oven trays etc. The fact that we did not have our own parking space made things more difficult as we could not park next to the property and on occasions struggled to find a space. There is enough room at the side of each chalet but it is grassed and parking on this is not allowed. I struggled to connect to the wi fi and contacted reception, a man came and did something in the box outside and the wi fi was good afterwards, We enjoyed a good holiday and the lodge is a very pleasant one to stay in for a holiday.

  Stayed for 3 nights just after the New Year.

  Brilliant contemporary accommodation surrounded by stunning landscape. Pod was clean, comfy, warm and the super fast WIFI was appreciated by all. The hot tub was great and if clear, the views of the night sky are amazing. The Station Inn is a short walk through the viaduct and serves great home made food. On the departure day there was a heavy snow fall which caused the access road to be blocked but the owners were brilliant and reassured us that there was no rush to depart and even offered an extended stay if required (managed to get out after they cleared the roads), they also provided wellies / gloves for some fun in the snow which were gratefully received. Overall a fantastic place and we will definitely return.
