Goosedale Lodges

Had a fabulous week in the Maple lodge (sleeps 8) the interior decor is stylish and comfortable! Kitchen to die for! If your looking for a week in the middle of nowhere in a peaceful setting this is defiantly it! However plenty close by to venture out to if needed! If I had to nit pick the only downside (and I am really having to think about it) there were quite a lot of flies that would come into the lodge if the doors were kept open - maybe a fly trap or something to reduce the amount coming in! Also we went with a 2 year old who loves a bath every night the bath didn’t have a non slip bath mat - again these are very small issues! On a more positive note the lodge was very clean and such a safe spot for having a little one we could let him play outside and could still see him from the kitchen/living room he loved just roaming around coming in and out! We visited Sherwood pines which was great for little ones! Loved the hot tub, which was checked daily! All the staff were very helpful even the maintenance guys were happy to help and answered all our questions about the surrounding area! Would defiantly consider returning to these lodges!

Stayed here at the weekend for 2 nights in the 2 bedroom Holly Lodge for our (small) wedding. The lodge was beautiful and everything is to a very high standard.

We stayed the night before and the night of the wedding and we all enjoyed every minute.

I just have a couple of suggestions that are very minor but could make a big difference (especially to a bride). A high hook to hang wedding/ bridesmaids dresses on to steam etc, a full length mirror and the dressing table in the main bedroom is hidden from the natural light and quite hard for a hairdresser ect to get around it. I know the lodges aren’t always used for weddings but I know they will be at times.

This didn’t compromise at all on the quality of the stay and the lodge definitely made our weekend and wedding even more perfect.

I visited Goosedale with a group of friends to celebrate our birthdays. We had the best time! I can't recommend it enough. The lodge we stayed in was brand new and really modern. All of the furniture was sleek and the decor elegant. The lodge was both cosy and luxurious and had a large kitchen and living room perfect for relaxing with friends. We had great weather while there and were able to lounge on the outdoor sofas and relax in the hot tub. The grounds surrounding the lodge are very well kept and it is near a big Tesco which was great for getting food and drink. Overall we absolutely loved the lodge and are already looking to book again!

We had an amazing time at Oak Lodge, the decor was absolutely stunning and very modern! We absolutely loved the mood lighting, the hot tub and the views were beautiful. We stayed here with young children and would also highly recommend Wheelgate park. Thank you for having us!!

Stayed here in September. What a gorgeous location and a fantastic stay.
4 adults in “holly” lodge- perfect.

Only criticism and reason for four stars if we have stayed in very similar around the UK- and the price of this was significantly higher. We expected a bit more luxury. In fact the cleanliness let it down slightly. As it’s self catering we don’t mind running a hoover around and cleaning - but to do it when you get arrive is a little annoying!

Places will still blame everything on COVID but it did feel very bland without any cushions on sofa. We had one stall missing , no sofa chairs like advertised on photos and the crockery selection was mismatch with varying numbers of each.

Most places I’ve been to the hot tub is filled up daily when they do their checks, ours (seemingly) wasn’t and dropped a good couple inches throughout the week. As an aside, one minor problem we noticed in hot tub late in evening was resolved straight away with one phone call!

Also a sunken hot tub would have been far better as would be a shelter over it? The woooden beans offer no protection against the rain.

That is my only faults though, as you can see the lodge is still worthy of four stars as it is a glorious place - especially given the location!

We stayed in the Maple Lodge. Absolutely stunning views and lodge is outstanding. There were a few small things that were damaged slightly which I wouldn't expect at this type of lodge but it didn't impact our stay. Bifold has issue but the team resolved it quickly and were fantastic. Really was the best lodge I have stayed in and lots to do in the local area. A few small things would make it perfect, like a long brushing broom to sweep the floors and fan or air con for the really hot days. Would highly recommend and will definitely come back.

Myself and five friends stayed in the Maple Lodge at the beginning of August. Two of which used the king size split bed within one of the rooms (most places dont have this option, so this was a bonus). The views where simply outstanding and the lodge is certainly the most luxurious we have ever seen. Although there where three other lodges close by it couldn't have been more private where the hot tub is located.
We where fortunate that the weather was hot during our stay, but due to this it made the temperature inside the lodge unbearable one day, so if you are going in the summer I'd advise to take a fan.
The lodge was spotless and came equipped with most kitchen utencils however we did have to shop for things like hand soap, cleaning cloths and kitchen sponges. The kitchen had so much storage which was absolutely perfect for our large party.
The beds where very comfortable although they did creak quite a bit due to them being metal based.
Goosedale is only a 10 minute drive from local shops. The lodge also comes with a information book which suggests local activities and things to do during your stay, this also answers most questions.
Molly who works at Goosedale was very welcoming and professional. She answered questions promptly throughout our stay.
Check in and check out are both contactless.
On our first day it did take some time for the hot tub to reach temperature due to this being refilled prior to us checking in, but we understand this is something that can not be avoided.
Overall this lodge and location was simply fantastic! We will most certainly be planning our next break away here!
Thank you very much to Molly and the staff at Goosedale for making our break away amazing!!

Absolutely amazing! The whole team were great. Special thanks to Niamh and Gurpal! We were upgraded to the 4 bedroom Maple lodge and the sunset views were incredible. The interior is so modern and the grounds are well maintained. We were accomdated with everything required for a relaxing getaway. During our stay we were also welcomed with compmentary gifts courtesy of the great team at Goosedale Lodges. 10/10 can't wait to go back there again!
