Hawkstone Reviews

Harriet
We had an amazing time at Hawkstone. Lou and Phil met us on arrival and were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. The shepherds hut and separate bathroomkitchen were amazing everything was finished to such a high standard and it was all spotlessly clean. Lou and Phil had thought of everything. The hot tub was a real highlight, as it was always up to temperature and ready for us! We enjoyed a relaxing, peaceful few days away, and loved the feeling of spending so much time outdoors. Even though the weather was chilly, it was lovely to sit outside with a blanket and then warm up in the hot tub! Wed definitely recommend Hawkstone and will hopefully be back ourselves!
Our stay at Hawstone was so peaceful and relaxing, everywhere was so clean and you can tell Lou and Phil put in so much effort to make it as enjoyable as possible. I wish I booked more days to stay longer! Will definitely come back again!
Stevie
Perfect stay at Hawkstone. Booked as a surprise for my boyfriends birthday & cant fault a thing it was absolutely beautiful & felt very relaxed after 3 nights. Loved the hot tub & view. Very clean with everything you could need. We already spoke about returning. Lou & Phil are lovely Thank you for a great stay!
What an amazing couple running this place, they were friendly and have a great attitude with people, nothing was a problem for them, even down to giving us wood for the fire pit that was in the neighbouring lodge that was not being used at the time and supplied marshmallow for the fire, we have said we will go again next year.
100 Spent a week for my birthday, it was perfect. We wanted a quite time and thats what we had. Lou and Phil can not do enough for you, treat you more like family than visitors. Even taxied us to the pub so we could both have a drink for my birthday Every were is immaculate and clean. Everything you need to cook, sleep and a lovely walk in shower. Hot tub is a perfect addition to these lovely pods. Would definitely go again. Good luck to Lou and Phil, keep up the great work. Tracy and Age

Lou & Phil are fantastic owners. Greeting us when we arrived and a quick chat when we were leaving was a nice touch, as a lot of places weve stayed previously its simply a case of turn up and let yourself in. Everything was clean, tidy and well looked after. It was also helpful having the welcome book telling us about what shops, takeaways etc were local. And also the personal recommendations from Lou & Phil about some local places. Overall its a lovely, peaceful place with great owners and youre not too far from a lot of stuff if you want to be out and about in the day.
Lovely little pod, very clean and tidy, everything thats needed was in there. Hosts made us feel very welcome upon arrival
Second time staying here and already looking for dates in summer for our third stay! Lou and Phil Are the BEST!! I would totally recommend!!! Super private, peaceful and most importantly relaxing. We can't wait to visit again. Jay and Angel x
We had the most amazing stay! Hawkstone is so lovely and cosy and the hot tub is perfect! Lou and Phil were absolutely lovely and so helpful with anything we needed! Gorgeous pub called The Bear about 1.5miles away that is deffo worth visiting as well. Would love to go back!
Matthew
A fantastic stay, very clean and a warm welcome. Some very nice little touches that made our extra special. Everything was done very well would love to stay again.
Letisha
Spent two nights here with my partner to celebrate our anniversary. Even though our booking happened to fall upon the time of the storm, we managed to have a wonderful stay. The pod was so cozy. Everything was beautiful and clean, especially waking up to see sheep every morning before my shower. The hosts were brilliant, they helped us when we could not get what we needed due to the storm. I cannot recommend this place enough. Will definitely be coming back!
Zubaida
1010 stay and experience. If you are looking for something private and quiet away from the city then look no further! This place has everything you can need for your stay. Lou and Phill really went the extra mile to ensure your stay is comfortable and relaxed. Upon arrival we had met with them and they are so lovely, as we arrived late evening they warmed up the room and the hot tub for us. I would 1000 recommend. There is a reason for the all 5 reviews
Weve just returned from the most relaxing stay at Hawkstone Lodge. Lou one of the owners is absolutely lovely and meet us on arrival. Firstly the location is amazing, and so peaceful. Looking out over open fields and listening to the birds over the ponds is wonderful. The cabin its self is beautifully furnished with a very comfy bed! I love that the kitchen and bathroom area is completely separate to the bedroom which is a rare find. When I say they have thought of everything, I really mean it. Anything we needed we found. And all the equipment and appliances are high quality. The hot tub is completely private and appreciated after many long walks you have around you. We absolutely loved our stay and will be booking to come back in the New Year.
Rachel

November 2024 Angel and Jayx Best getaway we've ever had! !! Very peaceful and private! Lou and Phil Thank you so much for everything, you guys thought of everything. We will be back very soon
Me and my girlfriend really enjoyed our stay. We were greeted by Lou and Phil at arrival and they were very welcoming. The pod and external area were so nice warm, cosy and clean. The hot tub was great to relax in the evening and the area was just so quiet and peaceful. Thank you for an amazing stay
There is nothing to fault! Absolutely amazing time with a peaceful area!
Sophie
Such lovely little pod. very kind owners and amazing facilities, will be recommending to everyone we know!
We absolutely loved our time here, just what you need if you want to get away from the busyness of everyday life and just sit back in the hot tub and watch the cows graze away or just enjoy the views of the scenery which theres plenty of. Clear night skies for star gazing and an abundance of farm shops nearby to treat yourself to the local produce. Would recommend and would definitely consider staying here again.
Absolutely stunning , awesome retreat Phil and Lou are soooo friendly the place is so cosy . Nice size pod with a good soft bed , nice hot hot tub which is nicely placed to see all the stars at night, shepherds hut which is your shower room and kitchen is full of all mod cons ,walk in shower with sink and loo and kitchen is full of everything you need oven toaster microwave fridge kettle they have missed nothing
Good from start to finish and looked after us with everything
Amazing 5 the hosts Lou and Phil, We're so nice and thought of absolutely everything. The Hawkstone was so clean and warm just what you want on a rainy day although we did still use the hot tub in the rain waking up to the view of the cows in the field in the morning was just stunning. We took a 30min walk to the local pubThe Bear which was an easy walk and is a very nice pub. We enjoyed it so much we rebooked while we was sat enjoying the hot tub before we left.
A little slice of heaven. This place is beautiful, the perfect little UK getaway. Phil and Lou are the loveliest people ever, so accommodating and just wonderful overall. We absolutely loved our time here and will 100 be returning come rain or shine. Beautiful views and a gorgeous little set up, such a relaxing weekend away. Would highly recommend. Thank you
