Willow Lodge in Oakham offers a tranquil and luxurious stay with spacious lodges, private gardens, hot tubs, and saunas.

Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the lodges to be clean, particularly the bathrooms. However, a few guests noted areas that could have been cleaner, such as the kitchen and lounge. The staff were responsive to issues raised.
The location is praised for its quietness and proximity to local pubs and attractions. The natural beauty of the area and the seclusion of the lodges contribute to a peaceful stay.
The lodges are described as cosy, warm, and well-equipped, providing a comfortable stay. Some guests mentioned issues with bed comfort and noise from neighbouring lodges, which slightly impacted the overall comfort rating.
Facilities such as the hot tub, sauna, and swimming pool are highlights, though some guests experienced maintenance issues with the hot tub and sauna. The staff's helpfulness in resolving problems is noted, but preventative checks could be improved.
Guests frequently mention welcome packs and complimentary items, which add a thoughtful touch to their stay. However, as not all reviews reference these gifts, and to ensure expectations are managed, it's noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

Very clean. Hottub was nice and warm. We would love to stay again. Nice relaxed quiet site, we didnt hear anyone else and it was full. Unfortunately pool was not warm enough for little one, she didn't want to get in, hopefully next time it would be warmer.

The lodges lived up to their luxury branding and were very spacious. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to use. The hot tub in a private garden was delightful as on other lodge parks we have been to the hot tub is often overlooked by another lodge, the privacy of these really improves your hot tub experience. The location was great for family days out and there was lots to do, even in February!
