Kipling Lodge, The Drive, Rudyard, Leek, Staffordshire, ST13 8RN

Absolutely loved our weekend here. Beautiful place and surrounding area. Very well equipped, clean and loved Lodge. The hot tub was very clean and well maintained. Great communication from the hosts and very welcoming, will definitely return!

We left the property a few days ago now and to be honest, I?m only just starting to come to terms with it. Really didn?t want to leave and a week didn?t feel like long enough at all!

Rudyard Lake is lovely, the circular walk around it is definitely worth doing. The property itself has been fitted out to a very high spec and a lot of thought and care has obviously gone into it. Really good for dogs, secure enclosed garden and walks from the door. Lots of squirrel spotting!

The hot tub was bliss.

I really have no negatives and definitely hope to return. Well done to the owners, a really smashing holiday destination!

This is the second time we stayed at Kipling Lodge. Cannot fault the lodge itself. Great location and clean hence why we came again, but unfortunately during our second stay the hot tub began to lose water. We told the owners who automatically asked if it was my children jumping/messing with light covers which caused the loss of water. This was not the reason as I was supervising the entire time, and eventually the tub was topped up. The next day the water level dropped again and immediately informed the owners but there was no rush on their part to sort out.

A couple of weeks after our stay we received a phone call from the company regarding damage to the hot tub and that we were being billed for damage at the bottom of the hot tub. Very upsetting. Luckily the insurance paid for the damage but felt my children were being blamed for damage for something at the bottom of the hot tub (which is what the pictures indicated) when they never even went underneath the water. I'm not sure if they even considered wear and tear. My children would loved to have come again but unfortunately we would not return after this. Disappointed .

Just home from a week at this lovely Lodge. The Lodge itself was finished to a high standard , clean and with all you need to make your stay comfortable. The under floor heating was a god send and the lodge was a cosy base to come home too after a day exploring the local area. The view from the lounge was beautiful and we had regular visits from the local squirrel population along with lots of birds.

Hot tub was amazing and just the way to relax both during the day and evening. It was maintained on a daily basis which was good.

The owners were really helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. Would definitely recommend and would come back in the future.

We have just returned from our short break away at Kipling Lodge.

It was a lovely quiet few days, very relaxing.

Myself, Husband, Son (3) and dog thoroughly enjoyed the lodge. Spacious, comfy, finished to a high standard & has all the mod cons. The hot tub is a fab addition & very private which is nice and also well managed as this is checked daily by the owners.

The lodge is close to the Rudyard Hotel where we visited for dinner (super dog friendly) which was lovely.

The lakeside cafe (also dog friendly) is a short walk away too and offers lovely brea

Kipling Lodge is excellently maintained, so clean and lovely furnishings. Meet and greet by owners appreciated and always contactable for any queries. Hot tub was wonderful at the end of a busy day. Lovely walk around the Lake which is only a couple of minutes walk away. Many places to visit in surrounding area - a day at Trentham Gardens is recommended.

We visited Kipling Lodge for a week.

Ourselves, 2 young nephews and Grandma. As it was a wide age range it is always difficult to please everybody. However Kipling Lodge did just that, everyone was happy.

The accommodation was High Spec.. and Spacious.

2 level balcony and a superb HotTub. Pretty views and walking distance of Rudyard Lake.

We would definitely recommend *****

Everything was perfect, the lodge was immaculate, the surroundings were tranquil. 5 minute walk to the lake, 5 minute walk to the pub a hot tub to relax in at the end of the day. Drive in any direction to reach the fabulous Peak District countryside.

The lodge was warm, comfortable and the owners Mark & Matt certainly ensured that we had a great stay. Probably the best lodge we have stayed in by far. Would definitely book again.

We spent 2 glorious nights 5-7 October 2018 at Kipling Lodge! This has definitely set the bar high for all future family breaks! Everything about the lodge was very high spec & spotlessly clean! The hot tub was so relaxing after the beautiful local walks. Thank you Matt for your hospitality & for the welcome drinks, particularly the wine!

Lovely location, stunning views and an excellent surrounding for a relaxing get away. Sharing an area with several other lodge like houses and a caravan park, it is very quiet and tranquil. We were not disturbed once!

Me and my partner stayed here with another couple and have left with nothing but excellent feedback! Just on your doorstep is a stunning lake with a very picturesque walking route. A lovely pub is just a few minutes walk, as well are a few more routes for walking.

The hot tub was fantastic. Spending most of our nights winding down and relaxin
