Had a lovely short break a few problems though the smell of weed coming from cabin 32 was very strong, when reported to staff nothing was done about it, no restaurant on site which is a shame

Perfect getaways

Have stayed at a few lodges, more recently at Little Eden, Bridlington. All lodges have been just as we wanted, Emma (Love to travel - Home and Away with Emma) is knowledgable and able to assist with our booking and likewise with staff on site.

If you’re looking for a getaway whether it be with family, couples or as a group then you are definitely in safe hands with Emma.

Tranquility and relaxation.

Tranquility and relaxation in the perfect setting. Lots of privacy and the kids had such fun in the hot tub on the wooden decking outside. Perfect location for a quick weekend away!

WOOD LAKES!

We have been to most of the lodges with Liv Retreats, we booked through @travelwithemma, Emma sorted everything from start to finish and was really helpful. Kings Lynn was a favourite of ours, hot tub, and more importantly, the fishing peg straight outside the door. Lovely food on site. Jack's is well worth a visit. Jack himself is brilliant, staff amazing.

Stayed @ Woodlakes

Stayed @ Woodlakes, Norfolk twice now. Once for my son's 13th and the following year for my other son's 18th.

Claudia was excellent at taking our booking and offering suggestions about on-site restaurants and local attractions.

Lovely setting, fantastic restaurants and both accommodation lodges have been great.

Looking forward to our next stay 😀

Visited Sherwood Castle holiday park…

Visited Sherwood Castle holiday park for my husband’s birthday. Took our two little ones aswell. The site was great for exploring. Lovely to walk round. Very peaceful-right in the forest and our lodge was directly opposite a bird box which was lovely to see.
Lodge was immaculate. Beds comfy-single beds a very wide which was great for propping a pillow against our 2 year old so she didn’t roll out.
The hot tub was gorgeous and the outdoor bar and TV was a great bonus. Would definitely recommend booking a secret retreat lodge for that extra outdoor space.
Would 100% return.

Loved our stay at Applegrove Country Park!

Such a peaceful, relaxing spot – the lodge was super clean, modern, and had everything we needed. The decking was perfect for morning coffee and evening chill time.

Only a quick drive to Scarborough, so we got to enjoy the beach and town but come back to peace and quiet.

Great for a weekend getaway or longer stay – we’ll definitely be back! 👏💛🏡

Thanks Leanne for booking! UK Breaks - Lodges with hot tubs, pet friendly stays & fishing lodges

My sister in law booked the Lincoln retreat for us all for a few days at the beginning of the year and it was fantastic ! Hot tub was lovely and cabin was cosy . On site facilities were great too, a small shop with everything you need and a bar which was great for a drink in the evening as well as a game of pool! The frosty morning looking out over the fields was very peaceful , will absolutely be booking here again for our next visit

Visited Sherwood Forest and it was a beautiful site so peaceful but still with lots to do lots of forest walks, the swimming pool bookable for just your family was fantastic for our autistic little boy. He also absolutely loved the tree swing within the woods we walked through. And the animals there were wonderful too.

Lovely peaceful place

Liv Lodges review

I recently stayed at liv Lodges and had a wonderful experience. The lodge was impeccably clean, creating a cozy atmosphere. The highlight was the hot tub, which was a perfect way to unwind. Claudia was fantastic in helping me book it, making the process quick and stress-free. I can’t wait to return for another relaxing getaway!
