• "When entering the property I was very impressed, looked really clean and tidy."

  There was a lovely welcome pack in the Kitchen including wine, biscuits, chocolates and crisps. Also milk and orange juice in the fridge. Upstairs in the lounge was a vase of fresh flowers. I had a lovely week in the property, it was warm and clean My only niggle was no hanging space in the bedroom I appreciate that it is in the eves but even hooked on the bedroom door would be useful.

• "We had a lovely, peaceful stay at Riverside lodge."

  The gardens are beautiful, with lots of wildlife around. The owners are friendly but not intrusive and left a very much appreciated welcome pack. Lots of places to visit within easy reach, several national trust places. The cottage was clean and comfortable and also well equipped. Would definitely stay here again.

• "A great place to stay."

  The owners are great - very responsive, lovely people. The place is very comfortable and the gardens are breathtaking. You can go to the nearby Cresswell Crags and Harley gallery, to the Victorian Schoolhouse cafe and to Clumber park very easily from here. I love this place.

• "Lovely accommodation set in great surroundings which was also quiet and peaceful."

  Enough items and facilities provided for a self catering home and we very much appreciated the welcome pack. Loved eating outside and watching the wildlife. Plenty of places to visit from this base both near or a bit further out. Owners welcoming and very approachable. Very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

• "We arrived in glorious sunshine and I immediately went exploring the garden which was massive, and I mean MASSIVE!"

  ! It had a wonderful mix of wildlife with some areas left untouched and all the wild flowers were in full bloom, and some areas which were beautifully maintained but still had a hint of wild about them. There were bird boxes all over the property which as far as I could tell were all occupied and we even saw (at a distance) some baby Blue Tits poking their heads out of one. As for the cottage itself it was absolutely beautiful with the kitchen and bathroom downstairs and the front room and bedroom upstairs giving fantastic views of the garden out of one side, and views across the fields out of the other. There was a welcome pack which included a large bag of crisps, a box of Cadburys Roses, some top notch chocolate biscuits, a pack of hot cross buns, a bottle of red wine (which was delicious), milk and orange juice in the fridge, and a selection of tea bags (Yorkshire Tea) and coffee bags (Taylor’s of Harrogate) which was a really nice touch. There was even a vase of fresh tulips upstairs. Everything in the cottage was very modern and there was absolutely everything that two people would need for a weeks holiday. The hosts were marvellous and didn’t try to impose on you but were there if you needed to ask anything, and they had the cutest little puppy who was just 10 weeks old. Oh, did I mention the mill pond? The garden was so vast that it included the old mill pond which was a haven for wild birds such as Mallard, Coot, Tufted Duck, Moorhen, and there were Pied Wagtail, House Martin, Grey Wagtail, Great Tit, Blackbird etc around the stream that flowed off it. You could even hear the Pheasants calling from the fields next door. By the way, it was just a 9 minute drive to Sherwood Forest which has many walking trails. All in all Riverside Lodge is a fantastic place to stay whether you go for a day or a week. Wonderful!!

• "We had a lovely couple of nights away in this beautiful cottage."

  The welcome pack was a very nice gesture and much appreciated. The cottage itself was beautiful and exactly like the pictures, we had no issues at all whilst we were there. The garden was a dream, our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer! We were both worried about wifi due to work commitments but it worked perfectly, we also did some cooking whilst we were out there and the kitchen was very well equipped. I did need a blender to make a cheesecake and the lovely owner was able to give me a blender from their property for this! It is truly such a beautiful place and we will definitely be coming back in the future as we both really enjoyed our short stay! Thank you for the hospitality :) Rajan and Sharmin

• "Outstanding!"

  Riverside Lodge surpassed all our wishes. Very spacious and well equipped with everything we needed for our weeks stay and of a high quality. Super comfy bed and sofa. Extra special were the vase of tulips and the basket full of goodies including wine and chocolates! Very clean throughout. Lovely views from the windows including the garden which we really enjoyed. Lots of different areas to walk around or sit either by the pond, river or waterfalls and enjoy nature. Very relaxing and beautiful. Thank you Debbie and Ashley. We loved exploring the area including Clumber Park and also the local pub with its amazingly good food!

• "What a beautiful stay!"

  The lodge is fabulous, well equipped. Couldn't have asked for more! We almost didn't book as I wasn't sure there was a bath and I just love to have one, but there was! And it was so pleasant. Shower not extremely powerful but not a problem. Only other thing that got me was a few spiders and cobwebs but it was a November trip so that could be a factor. SO glad there was parking! The lodge is easy enough to find with the postcode and so close to local things like Cresswell Crags and the Holbeck gallery etc. We had a fabulous few day trips and it's not too far from Clumber Park and Sherwood Forest, and it was lovely coming back to this lodge which really felt like a home. Thanks so much.

  can't fault the lodge, the location, clean, welcoming accommodation, such beautiful gardens. This two week break, certainly exceeded our expectations. would recommend future bookings through Sykes , but I'm being honest here, for the same price, we will be going abroad next year, if all restrictions are lifted, as we felt this year all UK holidays are over priced, and a little exploitation is underlying, price wise.

We will 100% be booking to stay again but hope to use pond view as that property has a walk in shower and standard height ceilings. We have to say the most wonderful thing about staying here is the beautifully loved and cared for, nature filled, calming and relaxing gardens.
