Our Third time staying here and we still love it! This place is so Peaceful, therapeutic and extremely private! Lou and Phil, may God bless you! We needed that rest and see you all Very soon Love Angel and Jay

Elysia

Have been here twice now and we look forward to it every time, its such a lovely place and area. Cant recommend this place enough!

Rebecca

5 stars from us. Lou & Phil have made this so beautiful & relaxing. There is everything anyone could want & need. I had a welcome text & a couple of texts throughout our stay to check all ok. I honestly loved this place. You have a real gem.

Honestly amazing. The cabin itself was perfect had everything we needed even down to the basics of tea sugar and coffee. Didn't need to bring anything other than our dinners. This cabin is well thought about and even better run by the most lovely couple who are so welcoming. Lou greeted us upon arrival and told us about a few things that are around aswell. Will definitely be back again,it is very relaxing and I had the best nights sleep.

Harriet

We had the best time at Hawkstone. Lou and Phil were welcoming hosts and you can see the love and care thats gone into hawkstone. Theyve thought of everything so you can have a relaxing stay. Will definitely book again!

Bernard

We cannot speak highly enough of our break at Hawkstone, the fact that there are only 2 pods give the location a boutique feel. Our Hosts quickly answered our settling in questions and gave us just the right amount of help without being intrusive . We were blessed with good weather and this is an ideal location to do walks of your own choosing duration wise. Guide books supplied Other Towns Villages are only a short drive away or you can venture further afield , It was the best of both worlds , when it rained we felt cosy , when it was sunny, just sit on the veranda with a cup of tea and talked to the cows or luxuriated in the Hot Tub, the quiet location meant we slept very well indeed , if you need a place to either unwind or explore THIS is it and it can work year round. Cost wise we found it reasonable but of course costs are subejctive.according to your income. We will certainty return subject to funds and, as this is a newish venture for the owners they need support in these early days of establishing the business. TIP 1 some of the nearby attractions are NOT open year round or on specific datesdays only, so do your research before you go to avoid disappointment. TIP 2 The TV is internet based so you may wish to take your Firestick or a pre loaded USB or similar.

JOANNE

A fabulous place with wonderful hosts, so welcoming and friendly. Fully equipped for our needs. The added bonus of the hot tub was ideal after our treks exploring. The perfect place to relax and unwind, so peaceful. Highly recommend

Thomas

Great placed owned by amazing people. There was no issues and I knew if there was we wouldnt have to worry.

This really is the place to go to if you just want to get away from it all. It is so relaxing. The property is like home from home and Lou and Phil are just the best hosts. Would definitely recommend a visit. 1010

Ashlyn

Most amazing weekend and the hosts were lovely! ! Everything was perfect, Definitely recommend !!

Nathan

The most perfect gateway & the owners were perfect too. Very friendly, warm and welcoming on arrival and only a text away if anything was needed. Would 1000 recommend this stay to anyone we are booking again for an autumn staycation. Thanks again!

Last weekend me and my boyfriend stayed at Hawkstone for 2 nights, we were greeted by Lou and Phil who were the loveliest people. Hawstone was a lovely break for us and we will definitely be back. Thankyou again x

Second time weve stayed at the hawkstone and the second time weve had a brilliant time enjoying the weather, views and the cows company from the hot tub. Would highly recommend as a perfect stay away from every day life.

This break really was perfect, I cannot fault it in any way! It is so comfortable, cosy and welcoming and has the wow factor when you arrive. The view is lovely and the hot tub was warm when we arrived. The WiFi worked well which was great as it meant I could cast Netflix to the tv in the evening. The cows were great entertainment and I really enjoyed watching them. The kitchen and bathroom had everything you might need and were very clean and well looked after. I did not want to leave, but when I did, I felt very well rested and relaxed.

Olivia

We had an amazing weekend staying here over easter. Lovely owners greeted us on arrival and the lodge itself was perfect. The attention to detail is amazing! they have literally thought of everything you could possibly need! Super comfy bed and the hot tub was unreal. Feeling very relaxed and recharged 10000000010 ! dont hesitate to book

Elizabeth

Everything was over and above our expectations even the weather. Lou and Phil are the perfect hosts, around when needed via message or person. Facilities and cleanliness were exceptional. From the wonderful sunrise and stunning sunsets Hawkstone helps you relax, enjoy and feel rejuvenated especially after a dip in the very private jacuzzi, the whole of the pod area was private. Perfect location for visiting garden, National Trust and many other local attraction.

Our stay at Hawstone was so peaceful and relaxing, everywhere was so clean and you can tell Lou and Phil put in so much effort to make it as enjoyable as possible. I wish I booked more days to stay longer! Will definitely come back again!

Stevie

Perfect stay at Hawkstone. Booked as a surprise for my boyfriends birthday & cant fault a thing it was absolutely beautiful & felt very relaxed after 3 nights. Loved the hot tub & view. Very clean with everything you could need. We already spoke about returning. Lou & Phil are lovely Thank you for a great stay!

What an amazing couple running this place, they were friendly and have a great attitude with people, nothing was a problem for them, even down to giving us wood for the fire pit that was in the neighbouring lodge that was not being used at the time and supplied marshmallow for the fire, we have said we will go again next year.

100 Spent a week for my birthday, it was perfect. We wanted a quite time and thats what we had. Lou and Phil can not do enough for you, treat you more like family than visitors. Even taxied us to the pub so we could both have a drink for my birthday Every were is immaculate and clean. Everything you need to cook, sleep and a lovely walk in shower. Hot tub is a perfect addition to these lovely pods. Would definitely go again. Good luck to Lou and Phil, keep up the great work. Tracy and Age

Harriet

We had an amazing time at Hawkstone. Lou and Phil met us on arrival and were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. The shepherds hut and separate bathroomkitchen were amazing everything was finished to such a high standard and it was all spotlessly clean. Lou and Phil had thought of everything. The hot tub was a real highlight, as it was always up to temperature and ready for us! We enjoyed a relaxing, peaceful few days away, and loved the feeling of spending so much time outdoors. Even though the weather was chilly, it was lovely to sit outside with a blanket and then warm up in the hot tub! Wed definitely recommend Hawkstone and will hopefully be back ourselves!

Second time staying here and already looking for dates in summer for our third stay! Lou and Phil Are the BEST!! I would totally recommend!!! Super private, peaceful and most importantly relaxing. We can't wait to visit again. Jay and Angel x

Callum

Lou & Phil are fantastic owners. Greeting us when we arrived and a quick chat when we were leaving was a nice touch, as a lot of places weve stayed previously its simply a case of turn up and let yourself in. Everything was clean, tidy and well looked after. It was also helpful having the welcome book telling us about what shops, takeaways etc were local. And also the personal recommendations from Lou & Phil about some local places. Overall its a lovely, peaceful place with great owners and youre not too far from a lot of stuff if you want to be out and about in the day.

Lovely little pod, very clean and tidy, everything thats needed was in there. Hosts made us feel very welcome upon arrival

We had the most amazing stay! Hawkstone is so lovely and cosy and the hot tub is perfect! Lou and Phil were absolutely lovely and so helpful with anything we needed! Gorgeous pub called The Bear about 1.5miles away that is deffo worth visiting as well. Would love to go back!

Matthew

A fantastic stay, very clean and a warm welcome. Some very nice little touches that made our extra special. Everything was done very well would love to stay again.

Zubaida

1010 stay and experience. If you are looking for something private and quiet away from the city then look no further! This place has everything you can need for your stay. Lou and Phill really went the extra mile to ensure your stay is comfortable and relaxed. Upon arrival we had met with them and they are so lovely, as we arrived late evening they warmed up the room and the hot tub for us. I would 1000 recommend. There is a reason for the all 5 reviews

Letisha

Spent two nights here with my partner to celebrate our anniversary. Even though our booking happened to fall upon the time of the storm, we managed to have a wonderful stay. The pod was so cozy. Everything was beautiful and clean, especially waking up to see sheep every morning before my shower. The hosts were brilliant, they helped us when we could not get what we needed due to the storm. I cannot recommend this place enough. Will definitely be coming back!

November 2024 Angel and Jayx Best getaway we've ever had! !! Very peaceful and private! Lou and Phil Thank you so much for everything, you guys thought of everything. We will be back very soon

Me and my girlfriend really enjoyed our stay. We were greeted by Lou and Phil at arrival and they were very welcoming. The pod and external area were so nice warm, cosy and clean. The hot tub was great to relax in the evening and the area was just so quiet and peaceful. Thank you for an amazing stay

Weve just returned from the most relaxing stay at Hawkstone Lodge. Lou one of the owners is absolutely lovely and meet us on arrival. Firstly the location is amazing, and so peaceful. Looking out over open fields and listening to the birds over the ponds is wonderful. The cabin its self is beautifully furnished with a very comfy bed! I love that the kitchen and bathroom area is completely separate to the bedroom which is a rare find. When I say they have thought of everything, I really mean it. Anything we needed we found. And all the equipment and appliances are high quality. The hot tub is completely private and appreciated after many long walks you have around you. We absolutely loved our stay and will be booking to come back in the New Year.

Rachel

We loved staying at Hawkstone! It was perfect for the quiet get away we needed and has amazing facilities and scenery. Lou and Phil were lovely and thought of everything you could need. Would definitely recommend if to anyone wanting a detox from a busy life!

There is nothing to fault! Absolutely amazing time with a peaceful area!

Sophie

Such lovely little pod. very kind owners and amazing facilities, will be recommending to everyone we know!

We absolutely loved our time here, just what you need if you want to get away from the busyness of everyday life and just sit back in the hot tub and watch the cows graze away or just enjoy the views of the scenery which theres plenty of. Clear night skies for star gazing and an abundance of farm shops nearby to treat yourself to the local produce. Would recommend and would definitely consider staying here again.

Absolutely stunning , awesome retreat Phil and Lou are soooo friendly the place is so cosy . Nice size pod with a good soft bed , nice hot hot tub which is nicely placed to see all the stars at night, shepherds hut which is your shower room and kitchen is full of all mod cons ,walk in shower with sink and loo and kitchen is full of everything you need oven toaster microwave fridge kettle they have missed nothing
