Guests say
Guests have had a delightful experience at Doe Lodge, praising its cosy atmosphere, beautiful views, and excellent hot tub. The lodge is well-received for its comfort and the warm welcome provided by the hosts. While most found the property clean, a few noted room for improvement in cleanliness. The serene location is perfect for relaxation and the facilities, including a playground and hot tub, contribute to a memorable stay.
Most guests found the lodge to be clean and well-presented. However, one guest mentioned that it could benefit from a deep clean, suggesting a slight deduction in the cleanliness score.
The location is consistently described as beautiful, quiet, and peaceful, ideal for chilling out and relaxing. Its proximity to countryside and potential for wildlife observation has been highly appreciated.
The lodge is frequently described as cosy and comfortable, with comfy beds and a warm atmosphere. One minor issue with a weak toilet flush was noted, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
Facilities such as the hot tub and on-site playground are well-maintained and add to the enjoyment of the stay. There was a minor comment about Wi-Fi strength, suggesting room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
While the reviews reflect positively on the host's responsiveness and helpfulness, there are no specific mentions of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess thoughtfulness based on the provision of gifts, and the score is set to null.

We chose this lodge to stay in to celebrate my friends 40th birthday and she absolutely loved it! The only (little) negative was that the flush on the toilet was very weak, it literally just trickled with water and didnât always flush properly, apart from that it was a 10/10 stay!

Everything we was promised was delivered! The owners were truly accommodating and so welcoming. They made our time at there property so relaxing and memorable. They even went out there way to come over and introduce themselves and were a lovely couple!!! We had such an amazing time that we are going to try and book up 3 lodge's for the summer so our whole family can experience the beautiful surroundings that they have to offer on their site. We definitely recommend a stay there and can't wait to go back with out family next year. Thank you!!!
