Such a beautiful spot! It had everything we needed - the living area was perfect for hanging out, and the kitchen was so well set up for cooking and sharing meals. It worked so well for our group but still felt super homely and relaxed. Honestly felt like a home away from home.
Loved the rustic, exposed beam and open plan- huge property that fit our needs to a T. The view was spectacular and the spa pool lovely. Would stay again -do be mindful of the protruding wood on the tree branch hand railing to the top floor which poked one of our teens in the arm with a bit of blood.
We were visiting for a family gathering and celebrating birthdays and an anniversary. The Barnstyle lodge was absolutely perfect for our gathering of eleven family members. It is very well equipped & had absolutely everything we needed, there's plenty of space & even when we had a chilly wind outside, inside was warm & cosy (we made good use of the log fire)The location is truly great with magnificent views & it's an easy ten minute drive into Raglan. We really enjoyed the peace & quiet of the country after the buzz of town.We would definitely like to return one day & we have absolutely no hesitation recommending this lodge.Thank you Kristal
We had such a great time staying at the Blodge! The host is very friendly, the house is massive and very well kitted out, perfect for larger groups. There is a pizza oven which was a huge plus! It gets a lovely sunset, and is such a calming place to unwind. We would love to come back here - we all had the best time!
Overall we had a good stay few things let down were more fridge space the oven door was broken the vege garden wasn’t up kept and the beds downstairs could be updated.
Great place to spend time as a group catching up. It had very spacious communal areas and a huge kitchen with all the needed tools and serving equipment.
Very happy family.
We thought there was a spa pool but not, didn’t really miss it though.
Many thanks!
Perfect house for a new year with friends.
10 min drive to town.
Pack your anti histamines if you’re sensitive!!
Good facilities. Cute vege garden.
Only negative was someone coming in unannounced to pick vegetables when we had all been out tanning.
All in all, great stay
The Blodge is an impressive and unique residence in a peaceful setting with rural views. We loved the main living area, it is very spacious, comfortable and can cater for a large group of people. It was well equipped with all the required cooking equipment etc. There is plenty of room for young children to play outside. There were a few minor issues which I think could have improved our stay such as a more professional, welcoming, and up to date information folder which would have been great - and the night lighting was a bit dim. Overall I think anyone looking for spacious relaxed quiet accommodation that lends itself particularly to a larger group, would be very happy staying at the Blodge

A comedy of errors
We were a large family group (15 ranging from 9 months to 87 years) for 3 nights and the place didn't live up to our needs, but we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless - the view, the pizza oven, and the spacious lounge were a hit, as others have said. The errors - well the dishwasher had broken down and there was no dishwashing liquid, no gas in the BBQ, no fire guard for the crawling baby, not nearly enough toilet paper and only enough room for 10 around the dining room table at a stretch, even with some perched-on stools. We had a lot of single young adults in our group and there weren't enough spare mattresses and private space on the floors (they were definitely not wanting to sleep with parents!) On the mezzanine floor we squeezed in 2 next to the leaking door through the downpour and fortunately they didn't get wet! The fridge, freezer and pantry were quite full of the owner's food so difficult to find room and remember which was ours. We were kindly allowed to bring our dog and the owner left their dog, who was not supposed to come into the house or follow us on our walks.... like I said a comedy of errors, but a comedy, not a tragedy!
Lovely and comfortable house for a big group or family
We really enjoyed our stay. We were a big group and the place was still big enough for all of us. Nice and clean. Modern and quirky. Lovely deco all around the house. Everything was great but if we had to add anything to it would be an extra fridge and probably another toilet would be great (there’s only one downstairs for 4 bedrooms) there’s enough showers but another toilet would be very useful. The outside was also lovely. Kids enjoyed running around, feeding the chickens and jumping on the trampoline. There’s lots of games and toys inside as well. Well equipped for family and/or friends. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.
My friends and I were all very impressed with this place. It was well stocked with amenities and very clean. It was so much bigger than we expected which meant our large group had lots of space and everyone had a bed to sleep on. The drive to get into town and to the beach wasn't long at all. This is a great place if you're wanting a getaway in nature!
