Callow Lodge 5 Reviews

Had a great time thanks

We had a lovely and relaxing time, the staff were super friendly and helpful. The location was lovely, the site was beautiful and everything clean, except one small piece of glass we found in the hot tub, maybe some plastic cups would help for using in hot tub, I didnt see any. Other than that the kitchen had everything you would expect. We read the reviews briefly before coming and agree with some points, of noisy traffic and VERY firm beds but this didnt affect my sleep. The seats at the dining table need replacing and we had to sit on cushions, no full length mirror anywhere, not really the luxury you expect for the price of the stay. I wouldnt let any of this put you off staying but hopefully the owners take some note of these comments.

The dining room chairs really need attention as when you sit down you feel the centre of the seat sink

Hayley

Really happy with the stay. No complaints at all. Very clean, very peaceful and would happily return

Darren

Ive waited a few weeks before leaving a review as I wanted to reflect for a while. The park itself was beautifully kept, a credit to the grounds keeping team! It was also very quiet on an evening. I don't agree with description of the lodge as outstanding it maybe was several years ago. The pictures on sykes website advertising this lodge are old, it look's more luxurious in pictures, as to reality. I actually thought I'd walked in the wrong lodge, and had to go back outside and check the number on the fence to see if I had the right lodge, the sofas and dining table are not the same as the pictures! Instead there is two old leather sofas, and the dining table and chairs are totally different, and really old and tired imediately making it feel less luxurious. There is a lot of missing information on sykes website about this property and the rules etc. I'd advise checking with park before booking. I was most annoyed that I was told that if I wanted any friends or family to visit me during my stay it was 10 per visitor. I booked a lodge for 3 people and there was only me and the dog! They allow visitors free if there spending money in the barrestaurant no problem! I've stayed in a lot of these lodges over the years and for value for money Its disappointing. I wouldn't stay in this lodge again nor would I use sykes again. There is a lot of road noise like the other reviews state, it didn't bother me though. The hot tub was nice to use but even that was old and tired. To top it off sykes refused my top cashback claim even though I've followed the procedures ...shame on you sykes !!!

Should have a TV in the second bedroom Shower in the bath not working properly Toilet seat in the main bedroom ensuite was lose. Reported it on the Tuesday but nothing was done Could do with a better shower in the ensuite

Beautiful Lodge, very clean and spacious. Lovely setting, very quiet and relaxing exactly what we wanted. Only disappointing thing was the restaurant and bar on site is closed on a Monday & Tuesday of which we stayed Sunday to Wednesday. Thanks

Alison

We loved the location of the lodge, which was a good distance from other lodges in the park. The site was very quiet which we expected. Check in was good with expert instruction on where to find our lodge. There was a welcome bottle of Prosecco which we didn't expect which was lovely. The lodge was very clean and well presented with two double rooms, one with a ensuite. Beds were firm which we like. Only item missing is a mirror in the main bedroom, ie when using the hair dryer. The hot tub was fantastic and the main reason we booked this lodge. Kitchen facilities were excellent, we self catered so make use of the appliances. There is a restaurant on site which was very popular not only with those on site but visiting guests, prebooking is essential although we didn't visit for dinner this time, did have a coffee though. Lovely grounds with a couple of small fishing lakes to walk around.

As it's the second time my wife and I have been to Beaconsfield Farm Park in the Callow Lodge 2, we knew what to expect and everything this time was as expected spot on clean and comfortable and all the staff we approached for any advice were very helpful, and the new Restaurant The Croft that was recently built to replace the the Bothy is superb lovely food and a great atmosphere, anyone going to the Beaconsfield Park for the first time will definitely enjoy their holiday there.

Our second visit, wonderful site, wonderful staff, wonderful accommodation, what more can I say. Will be back as soon as we can.

Just a little more management of the fishing lakes, re green algae. Otherwise very happy indeed.

A wonderful break, will be returning as soon as we can. Lovely lodge, spotlessly clean and everything we needed was provided. Would recommend to anyone wanting a quite undisturbed holiday.

Raymond

Been here a month now still got another two weeks to go the staff are very good very helpful. Great to end the day in a nice warm hot tub recommend that to anyone. Things I did not like not being able to bring visitors in with out paying for them seems a bit over the top . The restaurant was the best food is fabulous some would say on the expensive side but you get what you pay for and this is well worth it a must try .

Philip

My partner and I stay in different lodges around the UK four or five times a year and never usually go back to the same location. In this instance however, we saw that Callow Lodge 2 which we had booked through Sykes Cottages in September 2016 was available. As we had enjoyed that lodge and the location facilities, we booked it again. Really looking forward to the spacious lodge and good sized hot tub, we checked in. We new where the lodge was situated on site and proceeded to its location to find another family in occupation. It was then we realised we had been given the keys to Callow 22, not Callow 2. This lodge, although having all the same internal amenities, was smaller in floor space, had a smaller hot tub and was situated on the main road to the rest of the lodges in that area Unlike Callow 2, which was the last lodge on a road to the maintance yard and therefore rarely used. When I complained to reception, I was told that all the other lodges were full, therefore reluctantly, had to accept this lodge. Do not get me wrong, the lodge was as good as Callow 2, but smaller than we were expecting. Within two days we were asked to call into reception where the staff admitted it had been an administrative error on their part. As compensation they offered us a 50 cash back and a 50 voucher for the next time we stop with them As stated above, we never usually go back to the same place so will not be using that. The site is adult only, has lodge and tourer facilities, has a good onsite restaurant and the grounds are kept immaculate.There are also good fishing ponds within the site that hold large fish. The staff were always very friendly and obliging. I would have no hesitation in recommending this location to others,

Judith

The lodge was well equipped for your needs,could do with hooks to hang costs and a clock in the lounge. We were very disappointed with all the rules.There was no indication from yourselves about the very strict rules about visitors,they were only aloud 2 at time from 10am till9pm at the cost of 10pound per person and of course they had to book in. If they stayed later you would be fined about 50. pounds.We have.never stayed anywhere with so many rules and regulations,it 'really spoiled the holiday for us as we have a lot of family in the area who were hoping to visit us.

James William

The staff were extremely helpful and very approachable, the on site restaurant was excellent, the food and the service were top class. Would definitely visit again. On the down side, the lighting on the walkways to the lodges is very poor and you have to be very careful not to walk in duck droppings. A torch is a must.

The grounds are lovely and very well kept but this comes at a price because from early morning to mid afternoon continuously there is a constant hummingbuzzing sound which we eventually found to be the industrial lawnmowers which obviously can be heard no matter where it is onsite. Even at such a distance the sound is enough to wake you up of a morning before wanting too and when it actually got to us one early morning the lodge was physically vibrating and of course very, very loud. This place really is lovely and the lodge was perfect but 5 days of that continuous hummingbuzzing took away the tranquil, peaceful element of which would have make the trip perfect. The hot tub may also have too much chemical in it. We used this every evening but the next day come away with irritable itchy skin. This may be a sensitive skin thing but this did happened to us both.

Superb site and a very nice lodge

It was a beautiful place, very tranquil, lovely people. . everything was perfect. However, two very small things... although it was dog friendly, you couldn't take them into the onsite restaurant, or into the cafe nor could you leave them in the lodge.. so not that dog friendly really! and the wifi didn't extend beyond she coffee shop. Those things didn't bother us and we still had a marvellous holiday.

Gillian

The lodge was lovely,however there were so many rules and regulations once ... The lodge was lovely,however there were so many rules and regulations once inside it was very difficult to relax,especially when your daughter is blind ,some of the rules I felt were unnecessary and to a point insulting, however we had a nice week x

Just returned from a mini break in Beaconsfield lodges, i can honestly say that it was out of this world. My boyfriend and i really enjoyed our stay, so relaxing and peaceful. We also took our Westie with us, she's an old girl and likes routine, she also loved it there! I was able to just totally chill out and my bf enjoyed hours of fishing, just a stone throw from our lodge. Upon leaving yesterday morning, i was very saddened to leave, we enjoyed it that much. We will definitely be returning later in the year. We can't praise the complex enough, all the staff were very friendly and also helpful. It's a 5 park, and deservedly so!! Loved it!!

Waldir

Great place to chill and enjoy the beautiful surroundings from the hot tub. The lodge was very comfortable, fully fitted kitchen and staff were friendly and helpful. The only minor was the check in is between 4 and 7 pm and check out is by 10 am.

We had a fantastic time. The staff and owners were so helpful and amazing! Clean, friendly, well stocked holiday lodge. Hot tub in mint condition and cleaned every few days. The whole area is beautiful and so close to everything. We will definitely returning.

We had a peaceful and relaxing holiday. The location is excellent.The people on the front desk went out on the way help you, and I would highly recommend to anyone stay here.

Excellent

Stayed here for 2 weeks. Just arrived back home (22nd July). Lovely lodge. Everything you need. Close to the lake so I can sit on veranda and watch hubby fish. Very clean but think some paint needed as a lot of marks on walls. But this did not affect our lovely time. Can't wait to return next year.

Rebecca

Both me and my partner had such a beautiful valentine weekend in this lodge, Hot tub was absolutely amazing! ! Will definitely book up again very soon.

Amazing place will be returning

Philip

This was the first time we had stopped at Beaconsfield Farm Holiday Park. On arrival first impressions were good. Well maintained areas around the Lodges and Caravans. Two good sized fishing lakes and the caravans segregated from the lodges. Booking in was quick, easy and we were directed to our lodge in no time at all. Being able to park next to your lodge is a bonus as in other lodge locations we have stayed at, you left the car at the entrance. Callow Lodge 2 was clean, spacious and comfortable with two double bedrooms. The hot tub was secluded and private. I had booked a two bedroom lodge with the intention of my Brother and Sister in Law staying for two nights on their way down from Scotland to London. However, I was told this was not allowed unless I paid an additional fee. It was also pointed out that, although their were two double bedrooms, Sykes cottages advertised it for three people, when clearly the lodge was set up for four. Another aspect of the booking that was not pointed out by Sykes Cottages, were the number of rules you had to adhere too. No vehicles with commercial markings allowed on site. Check in had to be no later than 7pm. Any guests had to be booked in at 10 per person per visit. Only allowed to visit between 10am and 9pm. Visitors cars were to be left at the entrance. No use of the Hot Tub after dusk. Although these rules did not detract from an enjoyable holiday, I feel that Sykes Cottages should have notified us prior to arrival.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Well looked after, clean cabin on a tidy park.

Loved the hot tub and the property was faultless. It was close to all amenities and we'll definitely be back.
