Liv Retreats Reviews 

We stayed at ‘The Hideaway’ in Lincoln which had lovely, clean, modern lodges with private hot tubs . The onsite pub was lovely, it’s dog-friendly and the food was good!
Nice peaceful walks along the riverbank for the dogs!

I first booked with Helen Day hideaway Lodge in may it was a beautiful Lodge and helen was more than helpful even when I nearly had to cancel due to family problems but luckily we didn't have to the Lodge was clean and spacious everything you need with a lovely hot tub aswell would definitely recommend it to anybody I have also booked again with helene for next month definitely looking forward to it

Stayed at King's Lynn Lodges a number of times and sherwood once. Always a good time and relaxing. Hot tub in evening, what more can you ask for. Kings lynn has really good resturants.

Always loved going to Woodlakes Norfolk been 4 times to stay. The lodges come with hot tubs , on the lake , so peaceful and quiet. Beautiful surroundings loads to do in the area. The restaurants on site are brilliant and fishing is good too. Dogs loved walking in the forest and around the 5 lakes. Definitely recommend it.

Very helpful and answer all our questions. Responded in a timely manner and managed to find us a great lodge.

I just want to say I have booked for this weekend with Helen Day booking I'd 58277
Apple grove country park and wow what a beautiful stay we have had Helen Day booked our stay i must say she is brilliant. She has messaged while I'm here to make sure we was having a lovely weekend told us what was around what we could do. The Lodge was super clean the little tea coffee sugar sachets was a lovely touch. The beds were so comfy we actually couldn't fault it I will definitely book again with her can't wait for my next venture highly recommend.

We found the lodge on a Facebook page, it’s looked amazing for the price. Messaged Tasha who made it so easy to book, Tasha was a great help and always replied straight away. The lodge was fantastic, the location on site was perfect and so private. A lovely little site with gorgeous woodland and lakes, shame it didn’t have a kids park but they have little projects going on so wouldn’t surprise me if it will have one soon.
Thanks Tasha we’ve had a fabulous weekend and will definitely re book with you.

The booking process for my upcoming vacation went very smoothly. I had a small issue, but the agent was extremely helpful and resolved it quickly and professionally. Their support gave me peace of mind before the trip. Excellent customer service – I truly appreciate it!

We stayed at the Black Bull in Barmston a few weeks ago and loved it .
Lodge was clean , had everything we needed. Hot tub was fantastic.
Close to the beach , short drive to Bridlington was just a lovely break

I have just come back from Woodlakes park Norfolk food was amazing staff was very kind and helpful the agent I booked it with through staycation couldn’t have done anymore for me!
The lodge was clean and tidy I absolutely love the hot tub!! everything was as described I can’t wait to book more holidays !!

Booked a break for July 2025 with friends for a lodge with a fishing peg and a hot tub.
Received an email to say that our booking had been cancelled with no real explanation.
Rang to find out why & they couldn't have cared less, no other lodges avaliable with hot tub & fishing peg so I requested a refund for the deposit which I have received.
Don't quite know what's going on here but I've read on TripAdvisor that it's happened to other people so I would avoid at all costs!

Whilst away at the lodge we made several complaints on site over the weekend. There was a tv but no remote which we reported several times to the receptionist. We were told someone would come and sort it but no one did which left us unable to be able to watch it all weekend. Disappointing for ourselves let alone a 7 yr old child.Then the hot water went off we reported this on several occasions. Someone eventually came late sunday night and couldnt repair it and we were told to go to and use another lodge which had just been left by other occupancts and was filthy I had taken my daughter and granddaughter for a treat due to my daughter having undergone cancer treatment and we wasnt expecting this Over the weekend the smoke alarm batteries had run out and we were left with this constantly beeping all day. Again we reported this several times and tried calling the emergency number given to us with no response. I have sent several emails on my return to the company with no response and also tried to call several times again today with no response. What should have been a weekend to help my daughter overcome an illness we were all left without being unable to bathe or shower, no tv and a constant bleeping noise in the lodge. I'm really disappointed at the lack of concern from the company and absolutely no response to my contact.

I’m not overly thrilled with my night away in the Love Lodge.
We had no lighting after a few hours of arriving, and we had no hot water at all throughout the stay. I did walk down to reception, however it was closed.
A member of staff also entered the enclosed garden at around 9am, which I am not thrilled about, it’s suppose to be private.

Paid the deposit then their payment systems went down for over a month. They wanted us to do a bank transfer to a different company, with a different name, that doesn't appear affiliated. They have been rude and obtuse, they do not answer their phones or emails and are rude when they do reply.
They didn't fix the payment system for over a month and then cancelled our booking because they couldn't accept payment and kept our deposit. Every step of the way i hit red flags for cyber scams. We also paid a deposit to the onsite restaurant of a similar name. That has now closed, website for the restaurant has gone and yes, they won't refund our deposit for the meals either.

We visited Kings Lynns resort on the 25th April for 2 nights.

On the 28th March I was checking my booking to see when we’d be able to check in, for the stay. So I could arrange childcare the day we left.

I noticed where it said total there was a minus amount, so I got straight onto the agent I booked with. Turns out I paid the full price not the discounted, which wasn’t clear…To be asked if I wanted any of the extras…which I said no too. So to be told my refund would take 10-14 days. After the 14th day had passed (not Inc weekends) I got back in touch, to be told could be another 7-10 days and given an email address for the enquires team… to be asked if I wanted any extras and they had no knowledge of a refund… so I queried if I would definitely have before my stay…yes should do… well nope… 1 week today since we stayed and guess what??? Still no refund…I have questioned but if I was the other way round I’d be paying a charge for late payment….but offered 10% off if we want to return…nah…

But back to the stay. As we travelled 4 hours we brought food with us “self catering” and with seeing on the advert “fully-equipped kitchen” but there was no freezer compartment and then the fresh food we’d brought froze anyway! Then we turned down the next day and bought more but still froze.
I also get self catering but no basically bits like toilet roll or hand soap…to go to the reception desk “card only” brill…oh and we have run out of toilet roll….BRILL

But the worst part about going for 2 nights away and having a terrible sleep is just the experience ruined.

The mattress was a bag of springs basically.
There was a rolled up topper??? Maybe if that’s what you want to call it??
BUT it was smaller than the bed…I went with a bad shoulder, came home with an even worse one….
