Had a 3 night break here. Well equipped and spotlessly clean.It was lovely to sit and watch the ducks on the lake and the birds in the trees and let the day drift by.

We booked to stay here in November 2020, as a work retreat in a place that was secluded but not a million miles from civilization. We were a little apprehensive, as this was a week in the middle of the UK’s new tiered lockdown response to coronavirus. When we pulled up to the lodge, I knew that we had chosen the right location. Perched at the water’s edge, in secluded serenity with the last of the evening sun bouncing off the lake, we felt relaxed immediately. But what would the inside of the lodge present? Walking into the luxurious lodge, we were elated. I had read a review on another site in which the reviewer had said they were “disappointed in the cleanliness of the property given the present pandemic situation. We took our own cleaning materials and spent the first two hours cleaning.” This description could not be further from our experience. The place was seriously spotless. No cleaning necessary. It had everything we needed for our week away, including some unexpected touches like tea bags, some coffee, a few cookies, and hot chocolate. There were towels to use for the hot tub (what a treat that turned out to be), umbrellas in case of rain, and toiletries in the bathrooms. And more besides. The kitchen is well equipped, the bathrooms are extremely high standard (loved the shower), and the place was warm and welcoming on our arrival. Though it wasn’t only the lodge that we found to be so. The groundkeeper, Graham (who does an amazing job), popped by to say hello and explain about the hot tub, gave us a few tips about the surrounding area and some useful advice for fishing the lake (which proved to be fabulous sport). Richard, the property owner, came by to ensure all was as we had hoped it would be, and called us another once or twice during the week to make sure it continued to be so. This lodge was exactly what we needed. An amazing property, friendly and caring owners and staff, in a secluded location in which we were able to focus on work and enjoy a few hours fishing, walking (make sure you visit Ross-on-Wye), and hot-tubbing. We shall certainly book again.

We stayed at skylark for 3 nights and what an incredible place it is.. We cannot wait to return. We met Richard who is a lovely chap, he showed us around the cabin and explained how to use the hot tub and where to find the best pubs. The cabin was decorated beautifully and had all the items needed for a self catering stay. We wish we could live there! See you again soon. Charlotte and Jamie x

Mr Lock

What a wonderful place to stay, quiet,relaxing and so much wildlife on the lake.. the size of the carp that were regularly jumping out of the water was amazing. The lodge itself was excellent and to be able to sit out on the balcony in the sunshine, read a book and have a cup of tea was pure bliss. Richard and Liz did us proud and I wish them all the best in their venture, I cannot see how anyone could be disappointed when staying here.We will certainly be back

Skylark is a wonderful lodge in a tranquil location.. We previously visited in November 2017 and had a great week, but our return in May 2018 was even better due to the excellent weather. Our host Richard made us feel particularly welcome and we have no hesitation in recommending this place to anyone who is looking for relaxation and quiet.
