What Our Customers Say

A perfect weekend getaway in the forest with beautiful views from the decking and lots of time spent relaxing in the hot tub. The lodge was very clean and well looked after and the added extras of a couple of Easter eggs was a lovely treat. We enjoyed the nearby sculpture trail and a gorgeous sunny day at Symmonds Yat. The dog loved having the forest on the door step too! Thank you Kelly

We have just stayed in squirrel lodge, and we absolutely loved it! Beautiful scenery, great location, lovely walks and only a few minutes drive to shops and pubs. Fantastic location if you want a relaxing break, and being dog friendly is a bonus. This is our second stay this year, will definitely be back soon. Thanks to Kelly for making our stay so perfect

Squirrel Lodge was tidy and homey with everything as advertised and we have a great stay for friend’s birthday weekend. Clearly a well kept property Plenty of wildlife to see and great view from outside on the deck/ while relaxing in the hot tub helped by the clear dry weather. Lovely and quiet and pretty walk into the forest next to the lodges. Also had great day out and boat trip in Symonds Yat East 20 min drive away and dinner at the Miners Sling which we walked to. Would stay again.
