Spitfire Lodge Reviews

We had a great time, lovely quiet location and everything you could need. We would definitely return again.

This was the perfect place for our wedding anniversary getaway! From the moment we booked the communication with Lisa was excellent, even giving us advice on places to eat out. Lisa was there when we arrived and gave us a very warm welcome, showing us around, and how to work the hot tub and sauna, which were ready for us straight away. The lodge is perfect, was very clean and had everything we need, even a basket of treats and fruit, with milk and juice in the fridge. Towels were also provided for the lodge and sauna! We loved sitting out on an evening and just soaking in the peacefulness of the area! We enjoyed our stay so much, we didn't want to leave. If you are looking for a quiet, romantic getaway, this is definitely the place to book, you will not be disappointed! I'm sure we will be back again! Thank you for the perfect week xx

We had such a lovely stay at Spitfire Lodge, it really felt like a home from home. Lisa and Carl have thought of everything to make it a relaxing and comfortable break. The welcome pack for both us and our dog was such a nice touch, including a tag for her wear while we were away so thoughtful! We enjoyed every minute of our 3night stay. The hot tub and sauna were an added bonus perfect for unwinding. We'd definitely recommend Spitfire Lodge to anyone looking for a chilledout getaway, with the perfect hosts on hand if needed. Tracey, Lauren & Lucy

The perfect retreat with genuine attention to detail. Lisa and Carl have thought of everything which makes your stay memorable, comfortable and stress free. This place is a gem and comes very highly recommended.

The lodge was just as described and the owners were really friendly and helpful. Will definitely be staying again.

Arriving at Spitfire Lodge we had a lovely welcome. It was relaxed and friendly. Inside we were greater with a well organised and very clean accomadation. The welcome pack was superb with loads of 'goodies' and milk in the fridge. Our dog 'Rosie' had her own welcome pack of treats, poo bags blankets and a bed, how wonderful!. Our four day stay was brilliant, Carl and Lisa were brilliant hosts and the lodge position makes it ideal for exploring the area. The information folder had good recommendations. If you stay there it's well worth booking a session on the Sptfire Simulator with Carl, if you can.....its amazing!!! Highly recommend the venue and the hosts, thank you Lisa and Carl.

We had a lovely few days in lodge. Lisa, Carl and family were very welcoming. More than willing to show us around and how everything worked. Told us of a few places we could visit while we were there. The lodge was clean and very well maintained as were the hot tub and sauna. Which we thoroughly enjoyed using. We will be visiting again in the future.

Elisha

Immaculate, cosy, spotlessly clean, dog friendly, rural cottage. Fantastic owners who are close by if needed. Property private and well equipped with nice little additional touches. Perfect for a romantic long weekend to relax and rejuvenate in. Hot tub fabulous size and sauna a nice touch to relax after endless walking possibilities or a stroll to a nearby pub we found 3 within dog walking distance it's nice to know villages and people like this still exist. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful place, great people. Very accurate. Carl and Lisa are fantastic hosts . Will definitely return.

What a great retreat. Beautiful Lodge in a beautiful area. Everything you can think of is provided. Beautiful inside and out. We used the private sauna and hot tub every day. The welcome basket was very much appreciated when we first arrived until we sussed out where to go to pick supplies up. A folder with great information and suggested places to visit was very useful. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Loads of great places to visit close by. One of our favourites was the Trentham monkey forest which is the only place in Britain where the monkeys live freely. Thankyou for a great retreat. Will definitely return.

Just returned from a fantastic 3 nights with my partner. Owners were lovely, lodge was very clean and had everything that we needed. Very private and was lovely to have the hot tub and sauna to use. We will definitely return.

Just come back from a lovely long weekend at Spitfire Lodge. The accommodation was perfect. Great for a peaceful and relaxing escape. The hot tub is large and was ready to get into as soon as we arrived, as was the Sauna. The kitchen was well equipped, and there was a lovely basket of goodies. The owners, Lisa and Carl are a really nice friendly couple, who were more than helpful, and offered us advice on places to go locally. Also had a log burner all set up to be lit. Our first time staying here, but it definitely wont be the last. Marie & Martin

A Perfect Birthday Getaway! The Spitfire Lodge is an exceptional retreata hidden gem and an ideal destination for a couples' getaway. The lodge is beautifully decorated to a high standard and maintained impeccably. The facilities are outstanding, leaving us wanting for nothing. The kitchen is fully equipped with every utensil, pot, pan, piece of crockery, glassware, and gadget one could possibly need. We were also delighted by the thoughtful welcome hamper, which included biscuits, chocolates, crisps, and brioche rolls, along with fresh milk in the fridge and a selection of tea and coffee. A particularly thoughtful touch was the inclusion of ketchup and brown sauce, which we had forgotten for our breakfast. The private hot tub and sauna were standout features, providing the ultimate relaxation, while the log fire added a cozy and inviting atmosphereperfect for chilly winter evenings. Generous supplies of logs and firelighters were provided, ensuring a hasslefree experience. Lisa and Carl are exceptional hostsattentive yet unobtrusivestriking the perfect balance to create a truly private and relaxing stay. Their communication prior to our visit was clear, helpful, and informative, making the entire experience seamless. Thank you for sharing this beautiful hideaway with us. We look forward to returning soon!

Really enjoyed our week here, lovely views and location the hosts were very friendly and accommodating towards anything we needed. Really recommend as a place to stay and will hopefully be back in the summer.

Andrew
