  The house itself is wonderful.

  Lots of space, great open plan kitchen dining living area. Rooms are all spacious and comfy, hot tub and garden are lovely. Local area is quiet but nice pubs and walks are a very short drive away. Hot water situation is quite tricky, especially with a house of 10 adults. Waiting 30 mins between everyone’s shower is unreasonable and a lot of us had freezing cold showers only despite all showers being quick and no baths. The house is missing a few essential bits, we had no washing up liquid or dishwasher tablets or normal tea bags. Lack of bins for recycling inside the house. No handsoap in the upstairs bathroom. The kitchen equipment is also a little limited for a house of this size. We had 10 people staying and struggled when cooking, lack of pots / pans, bowls etc. The aga is also tricky, mainly as the dials have no numbers on them and they get burning hot when in use so it’s hard to select temps etc. Sykes as a booking agency are extremely difficult. Website is inaccurate and unhelpful, causing a major issue with my booking that I then had to pay extra for. Their phone options are unhelpful and they point blank don’t respond to emails - I was told this on the phone. To the point where I had emailed repeatedly asking to speak to someone about my booking, had no response, and then had my entire booking cancelled.

  We stayed at Dreamwood over the Christmas period and we had the most magical and amazing time.

  The lodge was extremely accessible and easy to find, and from the moment that we drove onto the drive, it felt like home from home. The lodge was spotlessly clean, and included everything that anyone could possibly need whilst taking a break away. The subtle touches were truly wonderful, from the eco-friendly toiletries, special treats and and accessories for our fur baby, to the spare towels, pillows and bedding. We even enjoyed a lovely glass of bubbly in the hot tub on Christmas morning, which was a real treat! The owner really did think of everything, and provided wonderful customer service. Jen even approved for us to put up our own Christmas decorations to make it feel more like home, which we really appreciated. I would highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to book again in the future. Many thanks Jen, you and your wonderful lodge were amazing :)

  Our family of 4 stayed for a week using both the Lodge and the Annex.

  The accommodation is very clean and well maintained providing comfortable 3 bedrooms and 3 shower rooms spacious open plan dining and lounge area. The bedrooms were not completely blackout, but the road is not street lit so rooms very dark at night. Jen provided extra fans when requested on the hot arrival day. The kitchen was sufficiently stocked with equipment, but some of the cupboards are high with hinged doors. Plenty of worktop space. The Wi-fi worked very well, with Smart TVs. The gravel drive way has a narrow access for large cars, with a secure gate. We loved that the lodge is on a quiet hill , surrounded by tall trees. Good travel links to London via Hayes Station. Thanks Jen for your quick replies to property queries.

  We had a lovely weekend at Dream Lodge.

  We had 2 Dogs which we cleared with the owner before booking. Jenny the host was amazing, gave us lots of ideas for local dog walks and was on hand via Whats app for any questions. The end fence is loose so be careful with your dogs in case they push through, hopefully that will be fixed by Jenny. Hot tub was great, I think the best one we have had in any of the lodges I have stayed in. Nice a comfy and pretty quiet too. Only improvements would be a basic air con unit to keep it cooler in the summer months. It gets pretty hot and sticky. Be careful when driving into the lodge, my car mud flap got caught on the bump as its quite a step ramp up so stay to the left to avoid that. We will def be back soon ;-)

  A great deal of thought has obviously gone into this extremely quirky little bedsit.

  Except for the lawned area which does require mowing, the on-line photos are quite accurate, the sofa and bed are comfortable and the bed linen and towels are of very good quality. The new fixtures and fittings are also of very good quality, it is a shame tho' that some of the smaller details (eg a toilet seat that actually fits the toilet) have been overlooked. The property has great potential but is obviously still a 'work in progress' when not let out. However, all kudos to the contact, Lu who was charming and did her very best to help with the couple of problems we encountered during our booked 4 night stay. Unfortunately for us, the area was just a little too noisy and we came home a day early.
