We had a lovely stay at Rawlsbury Lodge. Everything was very clean and tidy and the space was perfect for us. The area is very quiet and being on a farm was lovely, especially being able to sit on the porch and look out onto open fields. Would recommend!

While a beautifully built lodge it was let down in many places. It was quite run down. . All kitchen crockery was battered and Not very clean. Lovely location and view Would still recommend. But wouldn’t pay as much for it.

Fantastic stay at Rawlesbury Lodge !It was the perfect place to share a weekend with friends.Hot tub was a great addition to the comfortable lodge. Lots of space and plenty of kitchen equipment if you want to self cater. Although The Fox which is 5 minutes walk serves superb food and the staff are all so nice.Loved seeing the farm animals every day too. The views here are beautiful.Looking forward to going back again.
