Oak Lodge is generally praised for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and peaceful rural setting, making it a comfortable retreat.

Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the lodge to be very clean and comfortable, with only a few mentioning dust on blinds and bedding concerns. The high level of cleanliness contributed positively to their stay.
The lodge is appreciated for its quiet, rural location with beautiful walks and proximity to local towns. However, some guests were disappointed by the nearby pub's closure, which was previously listed as an amenity.
Guests consistently describe the lodge as comfortable, spacious, and homely, with elegant bedrooms and modern bathrooms. The peaceful environment added to the comfort of their stay.
While the lodge is well-equipped and spacious, several guests reported issues with appliances and a lack of instructions. Maintenance of certain facilities was a concern, though it did not significantly impact the overall experience.
There are mentions of a welcome bottle of wine and milk, which guests appreciated. However, as not all reviews reference such gestures and to ensure expectations are managed, it's noted that such gifts are not guaranteed.
