Hampton Lodge Reviews

Malcolm
Beautiful lodge and setting. Warm welcome from owner, cake was lovely. Only a tiny thing but the lighting was a little dim, especially over the dining table at night. Would absolutely recommend it for a family stay.
Catherine
We had an amazing holiday at Hampton Lodge. We came with our four adult children and two of their partners, so although we wanted to spend time together, we still needed the lodge to be big enough so we didn't feel on top of one another, and Hampton Lodge provided this. The lodge genuinely felt big enough for eight adults, with enough sofa space and space at the dining table for everyone. We couldn't fault the lodge, it was just perfect in every way and we had a lovely stay. It was exactly as advertised on Sykes, and the little extras like board games, badminton set, and table tennis ensured we always had plenty to do. The hot tub being under the veranda was great as it meant we could continue to enjoy it even when the weather was not great. We also couldn't have asked for a better location and there was plenty to do in the local area. We visited the aqueduct, hired a canal boat for the day, visited Hawkstone Park Follies and went white water rafting. Barbara was a great host, welcoming us with her amazing cake and providing lots of information about things to do nearby. All in all this is probably the best accommodation we have stayed in and everyone in our family had a great time, the week just flex by. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and I don't believe anyone would regret booking Hampton Lodge for their holiday.
If I could give 10 stars I would, this lodge is perfectly located in seclusion and offers a sense of privacy & luxury away from the world. We spent one week with our 3 boys 1 under 2, 2 approaching teenagers and we were able to facilitate everyone's needs and enjoyment thanks to the well planned lodge layout and facilities. On top of that, Barbara who is quite clearly a legend, was very helpful in ensuring we had what we needed and we very much enjoyed chatting to her. The hydrotherapy hot tub is large and helped me with a joint condition I am currently recovering from. Our older boys loved the hot tub, badminton net and area to kick a football around. All in all given our busy family, we had the best week we could thanks to this place & would very much recommend it.
Perfect weekend getaway in the countryside with friends at the Hampton Lodge. Barbara was very welcoming and the cake on arrival was a really nice touch!
John Scott
The best holiday weve had in years. Hampton Lodge was fantastic and had everything we needed to enjoy a 5 star holiday. Cant recommend Hampton lodge highly enough. We will defiantly be back!
Stephen
Lovely quiet secluded location, the lodge and facilities are excellent, lovely ... Lovely quiet secluded location, the lodge and facilities are excellent, lovely owners that leave you to enjoy your break but are close by if needed, will definitely return and rebook this lodge, you won't be disappointed
Kristina
We had a lovely stay in Hampton lodge. It had everything we needed, the hot tub was amazing, beautiful surroundings. Very private as you cant see anything but nature around you. We loved seeing the sheep outside, the covered decking area was lovely especially as we had some sunny days. Perfect for watching the stars at night too. We had four generations staying from a toddler to elderly and we all enjoyed. One of the bulbs went in the bathroom and within half hour it had been repaired by the host. Lots to do within 30 minutes drive including the mere just down the road where we enjoyed feeding the ducks and walking. Everyone in the local area was friendly, we visited the town with a few shops and lovely bakery. Also visited the national ironworks centre, Oswestry, a few lovely local pubs and then back to the lodge to relax in the hot tub and take in the amazing views. We are definitely hoping to return in the future!
Lovely welcome from owner with tea ,coffee and a cake. Accomodation Lovely and clean,beautiful location,so peaceful thoroughly recommended.
A lovely house, immaculate, wellequipped and in a great area. Barbara was so friendly and helpful with advice on where to visit. We really appreciated the large livingdiningkitchen, and the fact that the hot tub was just on the verandah outside. It was too cold and windy to use the table tennis or badminton outdoors, but we went to Chester 12 hour drive, Blists Hill 1 hour and the Chirk canal tunnel and Pontcysyllte aqueduct. A surprising highlight was the trail around Hawkstone Follies which all three generations of us really enjoyed. We always have our family gettogethers at February half term and Hampton Lodge was brilliant for us. I just wish we could visit in summer too, when it must be even better! A welldeserved 5 stars.
Elizabeth
We booked Hampton lodge for a girls weekend and had the best stay. Beautiful lodge, got everything you need and feels like your in the middle of no where. Shops and takeaways just a ten minute drive away. Barbara was lovely too!
Howard
The Hampton Lodge was fantastic for me and my 4 siblings, it had everything we needed. The little touches that Barbara added like a hand baked cake waiting for us on arrival really made us feel welcome and wanted.
We had a wonderful stay at Hampton Lodge. The accommodation is superb and the surrounding areas beautiful and peaceful. The owner, Barbara, was so friendly and welcoming, even baking a cake for our arrival. There is plenty of information about various areas to visit, walks, cycling, places to eat, etc she has tried to think of everything a guest could possibly need. We enjoyed ourselves so much we are already talking about returning again next year!
Trevor
Excellent lodge and good location for exploring the area.
Paulette
Lovely home Owners were fabulous Would stay again
An amazing property in a fantastic location. We loved our week staying here and would definitely go back!
Connie
We recently visited Hampton Lodge for a family staycation 6 adults, 1 child and it was lovely from start to finish. The location was peaceful with lovely views. There was a thoughtful touch of home made Victoria sponge cake for our arrival. The accommodation itself was spacious, with lovely decor and furnishings and we immediately felt at home. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds comfy. Barbara has been a lovely host during our stay and made some great recommendations of places to visit which we took up. During the week we played a lot of badminton which made for some great competition!, cooked on the barbecue and relaxed in the hot tub. Overall a fantastic stay in great accommodation with lovely views. Would definitely recommend!
Leanne
Gorgeous property. Very spacious and lovely views. Hot tub was amazing. Lots of attention to attention to detail throughout the property. Thank you. We had a great weekend.
Hampton Lodge provides excellent accommodation in beautiful, secluded surroundings. The owner has provided everything required to ensure that customers have all they need to enjoy a 5 star plus holiday. Add to this top drawer cleanliness and a very well equipped private, individual property and you have a model for a very successful, worry free vacation. The owner goes the extra yard to ensure that all the facilities are in tip top order and provides highlydetailed guides to where to visit and where you might shop and eat. A first class facility and deservedly recommended. We will definitely return.
I can't recommend Hampton Lodge highly enough. Barbara, one of the owners was very accommodating, personable and caring. She came round to introduce us, help us settle in and provided a number of recommendations for places to visit. The lodge itself is lovely, fantastic location in terms of potential day trips for the family, but also a lovely setting with nice views and very cosy. Ellesmere and general amenities are also very close. I went with the family and they loved it.
Myself and the girls had an amazing relaxing stay at Hampton lodge. It was extremely clean and comfortable, we found the kitchen to be very well stocked with kitchen utensils for cooking. The hot tub was just perfect and extremely well looked after. Barbara communication was fantastic before hand as I had a number of questions before we arrived. She welcomes us on arrival and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Barbara recommend a restaurant called The Boat House, we had lunch there one afternoon. Well the food and the service was absolutely fantastic I would also highly recommend it. Thank you and for our wonderful stay, we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Wonderful location, beautiful lodge and brilliant hosts. We would certainly visit again
Penelope
Absolutely fantastic stay for a girls weekend, we had a fabulous time. The lodge is beautiful and the owner is so lovely, you feel at home immediately. Would definitely recommend booking here to anyone who would like a quiet lodge getaway.
Myself an 7 friends have just returned from an amazing weekend at Hampton Lodge. The lodge itself exceeded our expectations, the setting was perfectyou are literally in the middle of nowhere so for those of you wanting to get away from it all then look no further.the lodge was just beautiful an enough space for all of us 840 something gin drinking ladies. Barbara the host was so welcoming, she made us feel at home straight away, gave us lots of recommendations if we wanted to venture outand made us the most gorgeous Victoria sponge cake as a welcome gift. We had a trip out to Ellesmere where we ate at the lovely Meze Greek Restaurant the food was amazing an they staff there was so lovely too, then we found a fab little bar call the Vault which had live music on Saturday night really good atmosphere an highly recommended if you do venture out of the lovely lodge. Ive got to mention Pete the taxi driverTennant taxishis number is in the information book provided at the lodgePete who we renamed Cliff dont ask was so accommodating with ushe did numerous trips ferrying us back an toolovely guy. We absolutely had the best time here and have already put our dates in for next year. Thanks Barbara for a memorable weekend.see you next year!!
Corrina
The lodge was really well equipped and of a high standard. Hosts were lovely and really helpful. It was what we would have expected in that price bracket, would certainly return at some point. Only point for improvement would be that we found the lounge area not really big enough for our group to comfortably relax, sofas could be comfier or better thought out. That's said we didn't find it too much of an issue as we sat at the table and outside mostly
We had a fantastic week at Hampton Lodge and Barbara was a lovely host, making sure we knew where everything was and gave us great local advice. Her cake was super light and didnt last very long! Lodge Beds were super comfy and the lodge was spotlessly clean on arrival. We made use of the hot tub most days. Rural location but idyllic, so if you need a cab during your stay, make sure you book in advance. Tennants taxis were fab. Local Tesco stocks everything you could want. Table tennis and badminton were great fun! Food and drink Boathouse in Ellesmere does an amazing chowder and their afternoon tea looked amazing, but we didnt get to try it Corn Mill in Llangollen has a lovely view of the river from the decking Sun Inn at Welshampton does a stunning Sunday roast Thai gate in Ellesmere is very tasty The Vault is an underground quirky pub Places to visit Llangollen Powis castle Whittington castle Ellesmere boating late and sculpture trail Overall we had a fantastic week away at Hampton Lodge and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone!
Wow what a fantastic place to be! Barbara the owner was more than helpful and even made us a beautiful cake. The property is immaculately clean and the beds are 10 out of 10 for comfort. We was provided with everything we needed other than food. Relaxing scenery with enough space to let your hair down and truly enjoy your surroundings. Will definitely be going back. There was only one downfall to this booking we didnt book long enough.
The lodge is amazing, has all the home comforts you need in the most idyllic location. Barbara The host was so nice and couldnt do enough for us when we arrived and then simply left us to it. Ill certainly be back.
Hampton Lodge is absolutely brilliant. A fabulous lodge situated in the most beautiful, peaceful setting. The accommodation is spacious, high quality and very well equipped. All those minor, but important details were catered for sufficient crockerycutlery, hot tub temperature perfect , etc and plenty of nice touches too, like the divine Victoria Sponge cake on arrival! Barbara was a wonderful owner to deal with friendly, attentive and genuine. The location is perfect for exploring a lovely part of the world and also to experience a slower pace of life in privacy. Would definitely recommend. We arent generally a family to go back to the same place twice, but may make an exception in this case
Judith
