This was our second stay at Maple Lodge and when we arrived we were welcomed with a lovely Christmasy feel with two Christmas trees in our lodge all lit up looking lovely. With great local amenities and Bath only 30 minutes away, this is a great place to stay. Will be returning sometime in the future. Many Thanks,Andy

A perfect little hideaway right in the centre of Corsham. Sarah was easy to communicate with and everything is there that you need. Comfy, clean, friendly - and the little room upstairs was good for me to work from too.
