Skylarks Reviews

Excellent accommodation, very clean and well stocked.in beautiful environment. Everything you need for a relaxing getaway.
Verified Guest
What a beautiful, peaceful haven. It is the second time we have visited Brook Lodge and will not hesitate to go back. The lodge is immaculate, the setting is tranquil and private and the whole set-up is perfect if travelling with a dog. We were completely undisturbed and the hot tub is absolutely perfection- clean, clearly highly maintained and in an excellent spot. We can't wait to visit again.
Verified Guest

Verified Guest
The most lovely lodge very relaxing and we will 100% stay again.
Verified Guest
Easy booking with plenty of information beforehand. The lodge was beautiful, masses of space, light, airy and clean. The owners have thought of everything. It's the perfect place to go if you have dogs- secure balcony, beautiful walks and peace and tranquility. We will most definitely be using rural retreats again and revisiting the lodge.
Verified Guest
Nothing is too much trouble and the place is always clean. Lovely views . Been many times and will be back

Verified Guest
Excellent quality lodge for lovely peaceful break. Lodge itself was huge for 2 people. Deck and hot tub very private and secure for our dog. Excellent walks directly from the lodge. Goody hamper had some lovely treats as well as everyday basics. Only slight criticism was that the grass and bushes had been left to grow - which whilst I appreciate is good for nature, we felt that it all looked a bit overgrown and didn't have the lovely grass area out of the front of the lodges as all the pictures show!

Brook Lodge was stunning!! We fell in love with it as soon as we opened the doors. The open plan kitchen/living room was spacious, light and well laid out. A really comfortable recliner sofa. Every possibility was catered for in the kitchen. The bathroom was so luxurious with a huge stand alone bath and a waterfall shower. The bedroom was spacious, lots of storage and the bath robes were a welcome treat. The hot tub was set to temperature on arrival and we certainly took advantage of that during our stay. A very thoughtful welcome basket awaited us in the kitchen along with milk, cheese, butter, bread, tea, coffee and grapes in the fridge, unexpected, but most appreciated. We had a Sainsbury's delivery come that day, but it allowed us to have a lovely cup of tea with biscuits whilst we waited. There is a veranda that goes the whole way around the sides and back of the property with two recline beds for relaxing a table and chairs with umbrella if you want to eat outside, along with the hot tub. You have your own gate that leads down some steps to the meadow and fields below and a brick BBQ. There are four other lodges, but they are set back enough and have lots of shrubbery to feel you have total privacy. The grounds are amazing. We took our two dogs with us and we enjoyed some lovely walks, despite one day of rain. Free wi-fi and smart tv ensured we could enterain ourselves in the evenings. A very informative booklet was available, detailing local restaurants, pubs, walks etc, as well as in the surrounding areas. menus for local restaurants that deliver and booklets about places of interest were also included. Everything you need to know about the lodge, the equipment, etc was covered. I could go on for ever, we can't praise it enough. We will most definitely come back. It is perfect for all year round visits, I imagine Christmas with snow would be amazing. 5 star luxury across the board. You won't be disappointed. Don't delay, book now!

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay in the brook lodge and will definitely be returning
Verified Guest
Luxury accommodation in great private spot. We’ve stayed in some great holiday homes and this one ranks at the top. Would definitely book again.
Verified Guest
The accommodation and location were excellent and exactly what we were hoping for. A perfect place to take dogs; you can feel safe and there are lovely walks straight from your doorstep. Very helpful and responsive owners (the sun unexpectedly appeared and we had a requested sun shade delivered within 30 minutes).
Verified Guest
The first impressions were fantastic, great location, fantastic lodge very well equipped. We wanted a quite holiday break with the dogs where we could walk in quiet locations. this was 100% achieved. Only a handful of lodges spaciously apart and positioned perfectly so you can enjoy your own comforts without being imposed on by others. We would recommend this property. We would like to say thank you for making our holiday exactly how we like it. The Swan pub 3 minutes drive away also does excellent food.
Verified Guest
Really lovely quiet and secluded lodge but a few little criticisms. Fan in bathroom didn’t work and we thought it was too dark in there. Could do with some light over the mirror. Electrics were a bit ‘iffy’ and the living room socket only worked intermittently. We found somebody else’s dirty socks in the wardrobe. The front door definitely needs some lubrication, and the road to the lodge had quite a few potholes and ruts. These were understandable at the start of the track where building work was going on, but they went beyond that area. It would be quite easy to fill them in.
Verified Guest
Superb lodge in beautiful setting. Clean, spacious, comfortable, private and the hot tub is the icing on the cake! Will be back soon.
Verified Guest
Absolutely loved our stay. The lodge was perfect. Will definitely return!
Yasmin
Nice lodge with good facilities in a nice environment setting. The owner needs to carry out maintenance on worn out basics. The two toilet seats both loose, no chain on bath plug so can't get it out from plug hole. Basin sink plug system kept jamming then jammed making sink unusable. Toilet flush kept jamming then broke all with no force normal use. Front door locked when it worked properly needs replacing worn out so security an issue. Things that should work and not have to worry about while staying in the property on holiday.
We have stayed at other lodges on this park and this is the best yet for quality and equipment. Sadly, and it may have been down to the hot, dry season but there was a very strong odour from the septic facilities wafting across the deck all week which was most unpleasant and stopped us spending more time outdoors. The hot tub seemed a bit worn and could have done with a good wash over as both tub and cover quite dusty and headrest kept falling off. Inside was all very clean and comfortable a broom would be good to have. The twin room was not the most practical as it had a door or window on each wall meaning you couldn't have bedside tables OK for kids but not so good for adults. We noted a few points for the maintenance staff on departure like the extractor fan not working in the bathroom and the pop up waste sticking down, the front door lock difficult but otherwise a really nice lodge.
Nice quiet site, well maintained, very peaceful. Lodge was well equipped and very comfortable.
This is more or less what I wrote in the guest book at the lodge . Having spent the previous week on a boat on the Norfolk broads where conditions were somewhat cramped it was an absolute delight to go to such an immaculate cottage. We were very impressed with its quality and design and would ,like to thank the owners for fa cilitating such an enjoyable short stay.
We were very pleased with the lodge. Excellent furnishings, comfortable and very well equipped. The hot tub was always lovely and hot and ready to use. Would certainly recommend to anybody.
Michael
Very happy with the lodge. Extremely well appointed and maintained.Felt very welcoming.Site was lovely and quiet.Hot tub excellent ,good positioning for visiting all attractions around the area.Highly recommended to those who want the above.
We will never be returning. We have been charged 85 for apparently leaving the hot tub in a bad state. Pictures were provided which do not show any damage at all they are just pictures of the filter which should clean the hot tub. There was also a 2 hour power cut which surprise surprise was failed to mention. Never returning and will be going to press and social media on this.
Lovely quiet place to stay for a relaxing break
Belinda
We really enjoyed our stay, the lodge is very tastefully docorated, comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the hot tub and early evening sun on the decking. The setting is very peaceful yet close enough to walk into Bury St Edmonds which is a really nice place. The check in and out was very easy and we appreciated the bottle of wine on arrival. We would cetainly recommend this lodge and would visit again.
Andrea
Such a well equipped and beautifully furnished lodge it was just what we needed for a weeks escape. Very comfortable and the hot tub was great! We didnt venture out that much as our plan was for rest and relaxation and the park did feel lovely and secluded. There isnt anything else on the park other than lodges which suited us for the week but plenty of places you can get to if you needwant to.
What a lovely lodge to relax in, has everything you needed for cooking . would benefit from having a few more plates knives & forks if not eating out all the time . Beds very comfortable. Hot tub was a treat . 10mins drive to Bury St Edmunds town centre.
