The location was exactly what we wanted: an easy Uber into Congleton & about 20min walk to the local pub (which does a lovely Sunday lunch!) The lodge was super clean. Bedding was clean & comfortable. The shower was hot & powerful. The hot tub was set up & good to go. The park was quiet & private, set in the woodland. Perfect for a quiet weekend away from the world. The only gripe was the security deposit. On the morning we were due to leave I received a text from an unknown number stating they were from the park & required £150 deposit to be paid ( not details held!) prior to being able to acces the lodge. They do not give out the key code until this deposit is paid. Its all in the details but its not clear to see & I made several calls before paying to ensure the number was legitimate. It was & the deposit was paid back in full within 24hrs however it stung a bit as the money leaves your bank!
