“We had such a lovely weekend here, the property had everything we needed, was very well equipped and has lovely decor throughout.”

The location is beautiful and so peaceful. Owners communicated with us throughout. We were a little nervous regarding the access road to the property due to reading previous reviews and none of us have large ‘SUV’ style cars - however, it was fine as long as you drive sensibly. Overall, we had a lovely time and will definitely be returning!

“The lodge was brilliant, we came over to visit family for our granddaughters first Christmas.”

We had plenty of room for the 6 of us and her. We had brought over our own Christmas tree to put up and was surprised to see that they had already put one up for us. (Thank you sooo much). The family made good use of the hot tub, which was very clean and treated daily by the facility manager (you wouldn’t know he had been unless you looked out for them). Kitchen was very well appointed. Beds were super comfy, towels and dressing gowns were brilliant. Over all the place was amazing. Will definitely return

“The road to the property is quite tricky, my car had no problems but my friends scraped underneath most of the track, we had a cab one day and we had to get out and walk as the car was struggling to get down the lane, the property itself was nice, warm, well equipped, big hot tub which was lovely, the area round the hot tub could be nicer as it's just bare concrete block walls, a friendly welcome but sadly lots of cobwebs, it's a lovely location, would definitely come back if the property was refurbished to the standard of the other 2 properties on site which are stunning !”

- Patricia, November 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We do advise guests before arrival that the lane isn’t suitable for low profile cars and we maintain it regularly. We have never had a taxi stop half way before so apologise that you had to walk! We are so glad you enjoyed the house and the stunning location and hope to welcome you back soon to this, The Farmhouse or Hunters Lodge! Property Owner

Rebecca October 2024

“Wonderful stay.”

The lodge is clean and tidy. Has a large number of kitchen supplies. Towels for the bathroom supplied and bath robes too. We’d received a message to say there was hot tub towels but found out this was incorrect. Ami kindly however supplied some for us when we explained. The private road to the property is very bumpy with pot holes. Not great for low cars. However a wonderful stay and would highly recommend.

We’re glad you enjoyed your stay, we do hope we can welcome you back soon! Please note we don’t own the road in but we do maintain it regularly. Property Owner

“Great size rooms, really comfy beds and very private.”

Loved the small touches like the late check out, bottle of wine and bag of crisps that were provided. The cot and high chair provided for my baby were excellent quality and he slept really well which is great as he can be quite fussy. Rooms were really clean and great facilities, a large fridge and separate large freezer were very welcome. Great location for walking into Belper. The grounds around the lodge were lovely, with sun loungers provided and a cute seating area. Possibly could have done with a little more info/instructions on how to work the shower in the main bathroom, the oven and the tumble dryer as these were quite fancy and we struggled to get them to work. Overall a fantastic stay and perfect for our needs.

- Kayleigh, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We have now added instructions for the oven in the welcome book. We do hope we can welcome you back soon! Property Owner

“Thank you it was fantastic.”

The hot tub was a much needed treat after our 13mile charity walk for Dementia. The welcome gift of milk snacks and of course a lovely bottle of wine, was a lovely touch. The wine went down very nicely too thank you. I would recommend and I would stay with you again. Thank you see you soon.

- Victoria, August 2024

Congratulations on your charity walk, and we are so glad you had a relaxing stay with us to recover! Property Owner

“The property is in a pretty setting off the beaten track.”

The Maintenance Manager, Steve, is an absolute gem and couldn’t have been more helpful. A very relaxing few days.

So glad you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner

“AVOID AT ALL COSTS!”

Horrible owners, take pictures of everything before and after your arrival/departure as the owner will accuse you of random damage. There was also a horrible dirt track leading straight to the communal garden of the lodge, around 1km in distance which was not communicated and completely messed up the bottom of ours cars (over £1k damage). Not the best facilities and lodge looks a lot smaller than shown in pictures. Not enough dustbins for a communal space so plenty of litter smell in surrounding areas. Not the finest of experiences. Would not recommend!

- Hasan, July 2024

I’m sorry you felt the need to leave such a bad review. We have never had to charge guests for damage before but unfortunately the state you left our lodge was beyond reasonable. You left the day before check out without locking the door and taking the key with you, meaning our house was unlocked overnight and we had to change the locks as we had new guests arriving. You left oil stains on the patio which won’t come out and holes in the laminate flooring. Luckily we could repair the damage to the blinds and table, but the other things are not so easy to fix. We don’t mind guests smoking outside, but it took us over an hour to collect all the cigarette butts around the garden including finding them in the hot tub, requiring a full drain down and clean. We do state on our pre-arrival info that there is a track leading to the farm that is a little bumpy and to take it slowly. The track does not belong to us so we cannot resurface it, but we repair it regularly to make the journey smoother. Property Owner

“We booked for my sister's 30th and we all had great time!”

We would definitely book again!! Thank you for such a fab weekend! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, the outdoor space was brilliant! Perfectly placed in the countryside for peaceful and relaxing stay!

“We had a really lovely weekend at Wildersley Farm Lodge.”

I think the photos do not do it justice as it is quite secluded (up a farm track) so it feels private, even though you are in the farm area. The owner Ami text me prior to coming, so they felt very approachable for questions which I appreciated. The Lodge is very well equipped and there were already some supplies there (tea, coffee, bin bags, cleaning bits) so even the items we might've forgotten were covered. Our children were able to play on the safe space of grass at the front of the Lodge, which in turn was relaxing for us! We had a BBQ on the grill and the hot tub was fun. They'd even thought of the dog because they have things like the stable door, a dog peg for outside and wall hooks while in the hot tub. Everyone left feeling like they'd had a wonderful weekend, thank you for your hospitality!

Thank you for your lovely feedback, we're so pleased you all had a lovely time! Property Owner
Veronika April 2024

“This place has outdone our expectations!”

We knew we were down for a treat and were not disappointed upon arrival. The lodge is 100% equipped to anyone’s needs. Enquiries were answered to immediately. A mix of modern yet surprisingly old school feel. Every detail has been considered! Kids loved the outdoor space. Definitely will be visiting again. The only thing I’d say that I've missed (probably) is neighbours. The photos made us think it is secluded from other lodges but turned out there are more; nonetheless it did not affect our stay. Thank you for a lovely weekend away
