Over all we had a great time, we enjoyed the peace and quiet and loved the hot tub, there is everything in the lodge from a comfy bed to great cooking facilities, the only let down was the cleanliness, there was a can of alcohol from another guest in the cupboard and general cleaning was poor, this honestly would not put us off staying again as the pros outweighed the cons, Mandy was lovely and very helpful, we are looking forward to booking next year.

We have stayed at Cedar Retreats before and it is exactly right for a quiet break. The Ripon Lodge could do with a larger living room window to let more light in and the bedroom would benefit from a better window as I didn’t feel comfortable leaving the sliding patio door open at night when it was hot. Apart from this, a lovely week.
