Quiet and river views

Lovely property in an excellent location right by the river. Stella was a very good host who responded quickly when we had questions and dealt with an issue quickly during our stay. Three of us stayed at the lodge and we felt that we had plenty of space and the sunny outside space overlooking the river was beautiful. Being half term we thought it might be busier but the whole site seemed quiet and well maintained. Comfy beds and plenty of hot water for showers.We felt there were a few minor issues in the lodge that needed some attention but this didn't stop us from having a fabulous mid week break. Highly recommended.

Mum’ 80th treat

We booked for a little get together for 5 ladies to celebrate an 80th. Fabulous location, easy to get to and really lovely accommodation. All beds were comfortable, including the sofa bed. The kitchen was very well equipped, the showers (2) were great and there was lots of wardrobe space. The whole place was very clean an enough bedding and towels were provided for all. The decking overlooking the river has lots of comfortable chairs and blankets are provided inside to keep the chill off. The swans and ducks came over to say hello which was fabulous. The clubhouse is just over the bridge is very nice and the food is lovely. We walked into Stratford, this took roughly 20-25 mins and the route is very flat. Stella as a host, kept in touch and communicated very well with us. I would highly recommend Stella’s lovely lodge.

A wonderful river retreat so close to Stratford & Warwick!

Our stay was lovely in this very cosy home! It was exactly as described, inclusive of a wonderfully warm welcome by the resident swans, Canadian geese and ducks who are all very social and readily enjoyed the swan and duck food we had picked up from the local garden store! Stella was a fantastic host, who reached out to me both on email and mobile before our stay and was so quick to respond to any questions we had. The home Is right on the river and the clubhouse has many restaurants and activities for kids including a mini golf, small playground and many other activities. Water taxis are available straight into Stratford town center for only £2/person, and it’s only a 5-10 minute walk from there to any of the local attractions including Shakespeare museums and the butterfly gardens. We would highly recommend this property!

Lovely River Rretreat

The lodge was perfectly situated on the banks of the river so we could relax while watching the rowing boats passing. The nearby on site bar with restaurants is nice plus you can catch a boat from there that takes you into stratford. For £3 each the boat ride alone is worth the money.

Surprise birthday stay (3 nights)

Absolutely beautiful lodge overlooking the river, park/ location also very well kept. All positive feedback would definitely recommend. Fantastic communication with home owner on booking. The lodge is extremely well stocked with all amenities and extras which were all included in the price. The home was clean and really well presented, the bed was so comfortable. It was lovely to sit on the decking with the resident swans and cygnets enjoying the view. Fantastic location close to Stratford town, we really enjoyed using the river taxi from the park (pick up/ drop off just near to site clubhouse). Definitely 10+/10 well worth a stay!

Schoolfriend's reunion

Four ladies of a certain age spent 3 nights in River Retreat Lodge and had a great time. Well equipped, great position looking out on the river. Caught the river taxi right into the centre of town, a picturesque ride, the drivers were great, full of local information and so helpful. The lodge was a perfect base to come back to, spacious and clean. Would recommend.

Very nice property in front of river Avon very clean well kept all that you need. Twin bed room smaller than expected not much room to store suitcases and living area also, there should of been 5 in are party but two members were unable to come so with three plenty of room for us. Stella was a very good host provided plenty of info and quick to respond to messages would recommend this lodge.
