Red Fox Lodge

We have just spent a restful 10 days at Fox Lodge Hard to find off the main road in the dark after a very long drive - use Google maps not Sat Nav Lodge is well planned and laid out - why have cream carpets though when you are so particular about dirt ad allow dogs? Cutlery comment from another - it is plentiful just "toy/children" style - small and not what you would have at home - could definitely be improved but all other kitten utensil / equipment is good and plentiful The view from the kitchen is spectacular but with the sunshine - not complaining about that - it is extremely bright and very warm - the blinds can of course be used but you lose the view! Sunshine brought with it flies - a plentiful supply attracted by the white external walls - so very warm but can't open windows as flies get in - swatted many during our stay as we had such fab weather Plentiful array of wildlife - dear in adjoining field, and if you buy / bring bird food you will see all sorts of tits, nuthatch, woodpeckers as well as sparrows, robins and blackbirds and if very lucky the curlew and buzzards! However, the single thing to note is that in the main bedroom - again great views / flies - but the bed is soooooooo soft and for me exceptionally uncomfortable and felt more like a cripple after sleeping in it - so turn the bed regularly / remove the soft topper or replace both topper and mattress as despite all the really great things about this location / lodge, I could not sleep here again! Finally the hot tub useless in the cold nights to use as is outside but the sauna which would have been great was not in use? And for those that are coffee drinkers as not in the lodge details - it is caffitiers / ground coffee so if you like pods - take your own machine! GREAT STAY / LOCATION - shame about the bed!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Red Fox Lodge. The location is fantastic for exploring the local area. Close to local amenities whilst being very private and peaceful. The beds were very comfortable, lots of space in every room, plenty utensils, glassware, plates etc and storage for food, kit etc. We enjoyed the hot tub, the BBQ hut and the garden. The GNL team were very swift to respond to a couple of queries we had, so excellent customer service too. Many thanks - we hope to return!

Red Fix Lodge has an amazing location with great views and a lovely big garden which was ideal for us and our dogs. We have stayed at the property a few times and what lets the house down is very much the kitchen which is full of clutter but lacks enough dishes or glasses for even the most basic catering. We were only a party of 4 and struggled so I’m not sure how a big party would manage at all. The sofas in the lounge look good but aren’t at all comfortable at the end of a day out exploring. All easy fixes and especially the kitchen wouldn’t need to cost a fortune to fix.
