The lodge was gorgeous and the location was perfect.
The lodge was absolutely stunning. I loved the decor so much that I got in contact with the owner to find out where some of the soft furnishings came from. The hot tub was a lovely addition. The kitchen was well equipped. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful lodge in tranquil surroundings - simply stunning!
The lodge was immaculate and the washing machine was a big bonus as we were visiting our son at the University! A slice of peace and tranquility with lots of walking and a lovely pub through the woods. Our 3rd visit to Hollicarrs and we have already booked our fourth.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful lodge with hot tub, spacious and well equipped.
We love the views that this lodge affords, we were enthralled by the kestrels feeding their young in what appeared to be four separate nests, all visible from our outside area, everything in the lodge is of a high standard and feels special, we cooked a couple of meals and found everything we needed including kitchen scales. The beds are very comfortable and we slept well.

Peaceful & Calm
Loved the location of the park - lodge is beautiful and decorated to a very high standard. 4 for location as before we booked we didn't expect to have neighbours so close to the lodge. We would of appreciated a little more privacy - but it did not ruin our weekend. We would definitely return, maybe try a different lodge next time.

Nature and conservation are of paramount importance to the Hollicarrs team, and you will see this for yourself the moment you step onto the holiday park. We have held the David Bellamy Gold Award for Conservation since opening the park in 2005.
All holiday lodges are privately owned, and Hollicarrs acts as an agent for the sub-letting of lodges.
