Guests say
Sparrows Nest offers a peaceful and relaxing retreat with beautifully decorated interiors and a private, tranquil setting. Guests consistently praise the cleanliness, comfort, and the hot tub, making it ideal for unwinding. The location is convenient for exploring Congleton and the Peak District, with easy access to local amenities. While the interior is modern and well-equipped, some guests noted that the outdoor decking and furniture could benefit from better maintenance. Communication around deposits and WiFi reliability could also be improved, but overall, the lodge provides a lovely escape for couples, friends, and families.
Most guests found the lodge spotlessly clean and well-presented, especially inside. A few mentioned minor issues with outdoor cleanliness and occasional missed details, but these did not detract significantly from their stay.

The lodge is well-equipped with modern amenities, including a hot tub, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. However, several guests noted issues with the outdoor decking, limited kitchen equipment, and unreliable WiFi, suggesting room for improvement in maintenance and facilities.

This is my third stay in Lodge 2 and maybe my last unless some severe problems are fixed which is a shame as we love it there. I definitely would not be calling it luxury anymore. The lodge is likely owned by people who never come to it and don’t care about it. The whole outside is looking shabby and is downright dangerous. The decking is going through in many parts. The steps moved hugely and are likely unsafe and the whole area around the hot tub is unsafe. We didn’t dare use the hot tub as walking round it the decking is moving, rotten and I was terrified it would break completely and we would be severely injured. We didn’t report at the time as nothing could be done to fix it whilst we were there. The shelves in the wardrobe kept falling off which was unsurprising as there was no supports on the or just small nails. This was reported as didn’t want them keeping the security deposit.

Lodge interior was lovely has everything you need, it also had a washer, dryer and dishwasher. The outside decking let it down because the wood was rotten in many places, amazing no-one has gone through it.
