Gardener's Lodge Reviews

Lovely lodge in a lovely area. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely property, as advertised. Nicely secluded. Hot tub is private and accessible by a side door. We were met by Anthony on arrival who showed us to the property. Ideal property if you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing break.

Nadine

We stayed here for 5 nights. It was beautiful. So clean warm and comfortable. The host showed us round the property when we arrived, the grounds were very secure, and they had even put a Christmas tree up! It was just perfect! Thank you

Alison

A great property in a lovely location.

Sallie

Great place! Clean, friendly and quiet. Slight leak on hot tub, but the owner was on it. Wouldn't definitely recommend and we shall be returning.

Loveley cottage very helpful staff

The property was beautiful , very well equipped, lots of space and very quiet. Anthony was very welcoming . We enjoyed the hot tub and was a great location for day trips out

DELIGHTFUL lodge, friendly staff. Would happily return! Surprisingly spacious, as well as clean and comfortable. Wish wed stayed longer. Thank you.

Rachel

We had the best time! The cabin was beautiful tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and well equipped. We would love to return in the future.

Sheila

Lovely stay. Friendly welcome. Property clean and cosy. Only two minor complaints. 1 Toaster works but only if you stand and hold down handle. 2When anyone uses hot water the noise , of I assume the pump, is horrendous . Otherwise it is a very peaceful place to stay with the hot tub being a very welcome luxury.

Angela

The cottage was lovely, everything we needed and clean. The hot tub was a great addition, we spent most of our time in it. The only thing I would say about it was the sofas. They are quite small and we found watching TV in bed was more comfortable. Also on the listing it said books and and games were available, but there were none. It wasn't an issue for us, but a family may have been expecting there to be some, especially with the weather not so great, but it didn't spoil our well needed break.We will be booking again when the weather is a little warmer, thanks for our lovely stay

A lovely and clean property. We're a family of 5 2 adults, 2 children and 1 infant and the space was perfect for us. Beds very comfy. Hot tub amazing and in a peaceful location. The owner was friendly and very helpful. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you Anthony for a great stay. Llio

Had an absolutely lovely relaxing week. Very tastefully furnished and decorated. Only 1 little niggle could do with a rubber shower mat and a shelf for toiletries in the ensuite shower for elderlydisabled visitors.

Steven

Really nice stay in the Gardners Lodge. Very clean and well equipped with everything youd need. Hot tub was set up and ready to use on arrival.

Really enjoyed our stay and will probably book again in the future when we want to tour this area

Excellent property. Very luxurious lodge , well equipped and very comfortable. Owners very polite and helpful. Great position, close to nantwich Town, but far enough away to enjoy peace and countryside

Lovely stay here for my birthday the weekend, was a same day booking for us an everything was easy, the hot tub was amazing and ready for us when we arrived, the lodge was clean, comfy and had everything we needed. Only thing I can say bad is the weekend went far to quick!!! Lovely owners, lovely site we will most definitely be back in the near future!!

Charlotte

My self and my daughters stayed for a 3 night mid week break. Lovely spacious lodge. Nicely decorated. Owner was very friendly. Will book again.

Judith

Fantastic holiday. Owners very welcoming and friendly. Beautiful lodges very well equipped and maintained. Highly recommend.

Samantha

We had an amazing stay. The lodge itself is absolutely beautiful and the hot tub was fab. We found it very relaxing and that's just what we wanted. There are bushes surrounding the lodge making it very private. Location is excellent just a short drive into the town which has everything you would need. The owners were very friendly and checked in on us to see if everything was OK with our break. Would definitely recommend.

Stayed for my 40th Birthday, had a perfect time, so clean and everything we needed, lots of towels and heaters to help dry all the wet stuff. The lodge was lovely a warm when the heating went on. Shower was warm and lovely after the hot tub. Hot tub was amazing. We loved the bird feeder to, watching the birds come and go. TV in every room was great. My only complaint would be the sofas, just wish they was a bit bigger and more comfortable, other than that, we had a lovely stay, would recommend to others and would love to come back.

We loved Gardeners lodge, it was very quiet. The only issue we thought was the hot water boiler was quite loud in the main bedroom. The lodge had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Very clean and tidy and the staff were really lovely and friendly. The hot tub was just great as we sat looking at the stars and relaxing. The lodge was decorated nice and some lovely touches. We had a great few days and hopefully we will return.

The property was absolutely amazing, one of the most beautiful lodges I have, and will ever stay in. The hosts was more than what we could ever ask for and so attentive, they honestly couldnt do more for us. As soon as we arrived at the property, we was greeted and shown around by the host, a Christmas tree was set up with lights and made our 4 year old even more excited. The location is so picturesque and we will definitely back again soon. Thankyou ever so much, you made our weekend away so much more than what we could have hoped for.

The property is so comfortable and clean, the location is absolutely perfect, and having the use of a lovely hot tub made our weekend just wonderful. Our host was just brilliant too. Would highly recommend Gardener's Lodge.

I would say needs new sofas and a washing machine would be handy. The biggest thing is needing outside light as we could not use the hot tub on a night time.

Quiet peaceful location just on the outskirts of Nantwich very clean comfortable accommodation.

Lovely lodge, Nantwich is a beautiful place.

Allyson

Absolutely beautiful accommodation and location. We had the perfect week and would love to return again. The accommodation is very comfortable. The hosts were both lovely, very welcoming and helpful. Couldn't recommend it more! Sitting in the hot tub listening to the horses in the near by field was a highlight of mine. Thank you for a great week.

Michael

We had a friendly welcome on arrival. Lovely accommodation with good facilities. A short walk into Nantwich with nice restaurants and pubs. An all round great experience

Brenda

Excellent stay, chilled out, quiet everything you needed

Christine

We had a great stay. The lodge is very comfortable especially the beds. The hot tub was great. We will definitely be back

Lynsey

Fantastic holiday lodge. Plenty of room and furnished to a very high standard. It is set in a very peaceful and tranquil part of Nantwich. Anthony was very friendly and always happy to help at any time. I would highly recommend.

Lovely quiet location.

Fabulous setting with a spacious well set out lodge. Everything we needed for a peaceful break with my family. Loved the added bonus of the dishwasher but extra plates etc would have made this more useful. Would certainly recommend and return for further visits in the future.

Patricia

The lodge was extremely comfortable and the set up very peaceful. We felt there were a few little things that could be improved on like a few more cups, cutlery etc. The host Anthony was very friendly and helpful. The area is extremely nice and lots to do.

Very nice comfortable modern lodge in a lovely setting on the edge of a touring park. It was a very relaxing place to stay yet only a short drive to Nantwich which is a lovely old market town . Would certainly stay there again.
