Stensonhill Lodge Reviews

Good holiday rental, expansive grounds. Grounds are shared with other rental we had good experience excellent neighbours. Surrounded by wheat fields but sound of A50 & railway nearby make it not quite rural

It was perfect for what we needed as a group of four different families, with children of different ages. Lots of bedrooms & bathrooms, big lounge and a dining area that seated all the group. The outside space is great, with a nice seating area and large lawn, perfect for our Rounders game. We had a few technical issues with the hot tube, but the caretaker was quick to react to our issues. Tennis courts were a hit with our group. A perfect base and suited our needs.

Lovely large house with plenty of room for our party of 10. Well equipped kitchen and good sized rooms so there was plenty of space for all concerned. The dog loved the outside space too. The hot tub was a great success and the welcome pack of Samosas were superb. Thank you for a wonderful week.

Louise

We had a lovely stay here. Plenty of room for all of us. Beds were comfortable and it was well equipped. Samosas were divine, the best we've had and were enjoyed by all. We felt the property could do with a little TLC in places. Simple things like a replacement blind for the upstairs double room, new bulbs in several lamps. Tony and Tom are both very friendly and helpful. Would stay again.

Chelsea

Such a beautiful cottage and a perfect place to unwind. The owner and caretaker were friendly and helpful and made us feel at home. The kitchen was well equipped and the samosas we were greeted with were so tasty. Theres a western town on site and my family enjoyed visiting it! The hot tub was perfect and used everyday. Bedrooms were spacious and bathrooms were clean. We would definitely stay here again! Our 3 dogs loved the field. Plenty of outside seating to enjoy the bbq! Thank you for such a nice week!

We were a large family group and had a great weekend. Plenty of space for all and everywhere was clean. The host was responsive to phone calls and we had an unexpected welcome gift of freshly made samosas a nice touch thank you. Our only complaints would be the very slow wifi and the lack of any facility to make fresh coffee no machine or cafetire was provided. Other than that the place was very well equipped.

Clean, tidy and great setting.

Pamela

Lovely location. large house with a well equipped Kitchen. Tom the owner and Tony the manager were very helpful and only a mobile text away if needed. We were welcomed with a lovely tray of food which we all enjoyed. Comfy beds Two kettles, stoves, toasters and fridge freezers made life easier to cater for the 13 of us and 2 dogs. Large table which we could all seat round comfortably to eat and a large lounge Everyone enjoyed the hot tub only drawback of the house was the wi fi which works but is basic.

Angela

This was an excellent place to stay with my young family, I think it wouldve been even better in the summertime, which I will have to consider coming back again with them all. I have to say Tom and Tony were very helpful in many ways, especially Tom with the fabulous samosas, freshly made when we arrived! I honestly feel like asking him for the recipe, that was very thoughtful of him to do that. They were always available for any issues that we needed to address. I will highly recommend this place as a excellent place to go with children, as lots of bedrooms, the mattresses upstairs possibly need to be replaced and we certainly need the lights in the hot tub area looked at, there was an issue with a leak coming in the conservatory top window, but as we were there in very stormy weather, we understood that this could happen, very very satisfied, as all I wanted to do was get together with my very young family I would definitely stay again, kind regards Angela.

Ideal property for our family get together, lots of space and so good to have 3 ovens and 2 fridgefreezers. Lovely big table for our family meals. A warm welcome and a very helpful caretaker on hand to answer our questions. We would be happy to return.

Hayley

Great place and location. We were welcomed with freshly cooked samosas that were delicious. We were given all relevant information and every time I asked questions or had queries nothing was a bother. The spa was lovely. The view is just fields. In summer it would be great to be outside and have a bbq but for Autumn it was lovely to be in the dining area for our hen do. Perfect size for 12 of us we had a few cancellations . Not far from Derby town centre by taxi. There is a fun western town there as well.

Very spacious. The shops are not too far. We had a great time and kids really enjoyed especially with the big field for them to run about

Jeremy

Fantastic stay, the owner is a great guy and makes you feel welcome. The cost out weighs the tiredness of the lodge, saying that it didn't spoil our stay. On sight is the most amazing Western Town which is mind blowing to say the least and Tom and Tony welcome you to walk round and share their passion for this unique step back in time. Location is very good and the facilities are very good. Great stay and we would definitely return.
