Booster's Lodge

• "We had a lovely stay at Boosters - the swans were disconcertingly friendly!"

  The lounge is really lovely and bright overlooking the river so you can watch the comings and goings on the river all day long. Given we went in November during the stormy season it was important that the accommodation was warm - it was toasty. We had a bit of a problem with the keys but this was sorted out by Paul very quickly. All in all a great stay. Do take basics (tea coffee and milk with you as these were not provided). Stratford is very nice and you can walk there at a good pace in half an hour.

  Spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable, lovely location with river view and an easy walk into Stratford.

• "It is a lovely property, beautiful views from the decking ."

  Only slight problem was that the lights on the decking, one of the under cabinet lights and one of the wall lights didn't work , which was reported. The TV in the living area initially could not pick up all channels but this was quickly remedied, unfortunately then the TV in the double bedroom then did not work. Despite the small problems above we had a lovely time, very relaxing. Property is very clean, very well equipped with everything you could need. The park is very dog friendly , with a lovely walking field not far from the property. I would definitely recommend Booster Lodge and hope to come back again .

  Had a fabulous week and the weather was amazing, loved every minute of our stay. The owners have obviously worked hard to make the lodge into a super holiday home and have definitely succeeded , in future if we visit Stratford upon Avon , this will be our only choice. Thank you for an amazing week. five * s all round.

  It could of been cleaner, bags in the bathroom bins, the sofa had seen better days and that rug needs to go. In the kitchen the washing machine door was missing. The towels and bedding could be a higher standard. We where unable to get Netflick, Internet was very hit and miss. The views where outstanding and it was lovely to walk to Stratford-upon-Avon.

  From here, you can quickly get to Warwick, the Cotswolds and the south of Birmingham. The lodge is well positioned, right on the river bank, with lovely, calm and peaceful views across the water and fields. It was a proper little home-from-home. Thank you, Paul.

• "The lodge was lovely and the view over the river lovely."

  The steps were a bit hard going for us being disabled, so will not return on that basis but the owner was very friendly and helpful on our arrival as the weather was fowl and the check in a bit tricky for us. Hence the 4 stars as the check in is a bit of a struggle, plus although the Canadian Geese are lovely and keep the grass short, there needs to be a method of cleaning up the guano because walking and getting it on shoes and belongings isn't nice, especially for children and the elderly. The Riverside Venue was ok but a bit overpriced, but the location was excellent for the town, and the local village. So would recommend it overall. The balcony/terrace overlooking the river made the week.

• "We loved staying at Boosters Lodge-really spacious and in a beautiful position near to the river."

  Paul, the owner was in the car park waiting when we arrived to show us about getting into the property, and popped in during our stay to check if all was okay. The beds were really comfortable, which is always a plus! The only thing I would mention is that we couldn't find any bath mats for the floors, so has to use a towel.

• "We really enjoyed our stay at Boosters Lodge."

  The view of the river was picturesque as the boats,ferry, and paddle boarders past. The lodge was immaculate and well equipped. The heating system was easy to use which we turned off when we went out and at night. They supplied cleaning materials, toilet rolls, refuse sacks, coffee, tea and sugar although we did use our own coffee and tea. This site was nice and quiet and the Riverside restaurant was good. We could not use the ferry as my husband has a disability but a very useful means of getting into Stratford. It is also walkable. The steps to the lodge are quite steep and my husband just managed them and we knew there were steps when we booked. We would really recommend this lodge as it is well furnished, comfortable and good value for money.

  The location is perfect,we arrived early/pre season so not many other people on site but Boosters is right on the edge facing the river. We had the pleasure of ducks,swans and squirrels feeding right next to us at no extra cost. The lodge is large and spacious so plenty of room to relax if you have children,it also has a fair size deck area facing the river. Would definitely stay again.

  Despite us being an hour early the lodge was very clean, with anti bac wash in every room. The beds had good quality linen however, it was a hard mattress (suited me not hubby!) The lodge had everything you needed in the kitchen. We chose to cook every night and it was like using a home kitchen everything to hand. There are loads of things to do even on a wet day in March. I would recommend the 1940s tea room, the scones are to die for. Tip: if you want to go to The Royal Shakespeare Theatre book in advance so you wont be disappointed. We enjoyed our holiday. Booster's Lodge was wonderful and I can not praise it high enough!

There are 4 steps up to foot with rail to one side. This being said would I return - DEFINITELY!

  The mattresses on twin beds were as hard as rock , not firm hard l had to buy a mattress cover but still to hard resulting on no real sleep for seven nights not what you want on holiday. After a year of shielding l was very much looking forward to my holiday but sorry to say a bit let down. The position of lodge is perfect but lacking in above mentioned

  Thank you for your feedback. I am saddened by your comments. Beds are subjective and the mattresses in the property are high quality orthopaedic ones., not the usual standard fare found in lodges. An insect can fly in to a property at any time and die. I am sure you find this in your own home. People do leave food out to feed the swans, it certainly was not there after the housekeeper had been in . Property Owner

  Plenty large enough for 4 adults. The lodge was very clean and well equipped. A double bedroom with en-suite and twin room with 2 full size single beds. Two very comfortable sofas in the lounge could have done with an extra coffee table. There is a decking area overlooking the river with table and 2 chairs. We took our own picnic chairs as there were 4 adults. As a previous reviewer said it’s not easy to find. There is a map of the site just after the entrance barrier. It only gives lodge numbers no names. Boosters Lodge in number 80. Drive straight down to the river, turn right and it’s the 7th lodge on the left. Key box is on the upright at the top of the steps opposite the door. It was better than expected and we hope to return.
