Guests consistently mention the lodge being 'spotlessly clean' and 'well-equipped', indicating a high standard of cleanliness that contributes to the welcoming atmosphere of the property.

The lodge's location is frequently highlighted as peaceful and quiet, yet conveniently close to London with good transport links. The surrounding countryside and local walks add to the appeal.

About this property

Sleeping six guests in total and situated along a quiet country lane, the property is perfect for cyclists, as well as being near a medieval Church.

    Was lovely to have to have the studio and the hot tub. Host kept in touch during our stay too. A really relaxing short break.

  • Claire

    The accommodation is very clean and well maintained providing comfortable 3 bedrooms and 3 shower rooms spacious open plan dining and lounge area. The bedrooms were not completely blackout, but the road is not street lit so rooms very dark at night. Jen provided extra fans when requested on the hot arrival day. The kitchen was sufficiently stocked with equipment, but some of the cupboards are high with hinged doors. Plenty of worktop space. The Wi-fi worked very well, with Smart TVs. The gravel drive way has a narrow access for large cars, with a secure gate. We loved that the lodge is on a quiet hill , surrounded by tall trees. Good travel links to London via Hayes Station. Thanks Jen for your quick replies to property queries.
