Endymion Lodge receives high praise for its beautiful, peaceful setting and luxurious, well-equipped lodges. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, comfort, and the thoughtful touches like welcome hampers. The hot tub is a highlight, contributing to the lodge's relaxing atmosphere. While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a few guests noted areas for improvement in maintenance and kitchenware.
The majority of guests report the lodge as 'spotlessly clean' and 'well presented'. However, a few guests mentioned that the cleanliness was not up to their expectations, which slightly impacts the overall high score.
The location is consistently described as lovely, peaceful, and beautiful, with plenty of places to visit and walks to enjoy. The proximity to a village with amenities also adds to the appeal.
Guests find the lodges spacious, airy, and comfortable, with luxurious bathrooms and comfy beds. The presence of a hot tub adds to the comfort level, although there were minor comments about furniture and kitchenware.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the hot tub and well-equipped lodges. However, some guests noted issues with kitchen equipment and maintenance, such as the washing machine and dishwasher, which affects the score.
Many guests mention thoughtful gestures like fresh flowers and welcome hampers, contributing to a warm and welcoming experience. While these gifts are appreciated, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

Lovely holiday accommodation, in a peaceful setting. Well equipped kitchen, spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Plenty of parking and very private. The negatives, poor tv signal (pixilated) ant infestation in main ensuite and a few of the cooking pans could do with replacing. Overall a very nice stay we had and would visit again.
