The Pump House Lodge Reviews

Alex Turner
We found the lodge to be cosy, warmand tidy, perfect for relaxing. Plenty of scenic walks nearby made it a great spot for outdoorsy types. That said, it’s not as private as the website suggests since there’s another property nearby with a drive right next to us. We had a delivery and a water engineer pop by during our visit, which was a bit unexpected.
Emma
This spot is lovely, really well situated. The hosts are super welcoming and always ready to help!
Emma Collins
Great stay, lovely surroundings, highly recommend it!
Amelia
We really enjoyed our stay here! The peaceful vibe, with the babbling brook and birds singing, was so relaxing. The lodge had everything we neededand we loved how all the spaces-kitchen, lounge, dining-were open-plan and easy to use. The big windows made it feel super spacious and connected to the outdoors. The hot tub was fantastic and kept in great condition. Communication from Laura was spot-onand she was always ready to help. We’ll definitely come back!
Sam
We recently stayed at this stunning contemporary lodgeand it was just perfect! The location is absolutely beautiful, offering peace and quiet but also a quick stroll to the local pub if you fancy some food by the fire. The owners are really thoughtful, having thought of everything to make our stay special. The jacuzzi next to the bubbling brook was the highlight, especially with drinks under the stars. We loved it so much we’ve already booked again for next Christmas. Can’t wait to return!
