Apple Tree Lodges

My Girlfriends and I have just had the most wonderful weekend in Pearmaine Lodge . Everything you need is there and the lodge was very comfortable. Shower cubicle a bit ‘tired’ and could do with regrouting but just a very minor detail. Without exception the staff were all fabulous- so friendly and helpful. Elizabeth in reception, both Ladies in the Spa, William in the bar, Maddy the lovely waitress in the restaurant, a very helpful restaurant Manager who took our complaint about cocktail glasses very professionally and seriously, lovely Liam our mini bus driver (what a great service to have for getting to and from the restaurant!) and the lovely barman in the golf club bar who found us biscuits to go with our coffees after our mammoth walk! All in all a wonderful time was had by us all and we would definitely return and recommend .

We have been visiting these Lodges since 2015 and always have a lovely time here. They are fully equipped with everything you need for a short break plus tea, coffee, milk and biscuits have always been provided too. There is a shop at the main hotel if you need a few extra nibbles. I would have given this an excellent rating but whilst the lodge (called Scarlet) was clean on the surface there was a lot of mould in the shower of the main bathroom, the shower blocked up with water every time it was used, so did some of the sinks, and when the DVD player was found to have been unplugged we looked behind the sideboard and it had not been cleaned behind there in years. The toaster also had quite a few months worth of crumbs in it, which I emptied out myself and at least 2 of the blinds in the lounge seemed to be broken. So, although everything looks clean, the regular maintenance and deep clean checks are just not being done. We stayed at this same lodge a few years ago and the shower was mouldy then too and we did point it out. The accommodation is not that cheap so it does deserve a regular bit of TLC and checks to command the prices charged ...and why just get a 'good' rating when you can go the extra mile Apple Tree Lodges and get an 'excellent' rating instead.

We had a really lovely stay. The apartment was a lot bigger than we expected. The kitchen was well equipped and the whole space was great. The restaurant options at the hotel were really good and the staff were all very friendly.

Great place to stay for the weekend, apartment was lovely and the surrounds perfect.

The apartment is lovely. The kitchen, parlor, bedroom and bath were all very nice. The front desk told us they have housekeeping each day at noon. No one showed, so we called at 4 p.m. They said someone would come straight away. At 5 called again, as no one showed up. Later a nice maintenance man brought some coffee and bisquits. The next day no housekeeping. But we were told to empty our own rubbish bins. They need to be clearer about how to get housekeeping and whether it is truly available. The tiny road from the resort to the cabins is not very clearly marked and you go up what is the size of a golf cart trail. With pegs on both sides of the two way-one lane drive (so no way to pull off for oncoming traffic). Luckily no one else was going on the road or we would have to go backwards a few hundred feet, so that the other person could pass. There was a wedding party who were VERY loud from the afternoon until late at night, located a few hundred feet away, but loudly amplified. This was not the quiet, country environment we were seeking. The management staff were quite helpful several times, and two gents in suits came to help with the hob and heating system. It was worth the money, but it would be better with many more signs guiding travelers to the cabins and with much clearer, written instructions on how to actually get housekeeping to show up, with those who stay more than one night. Night parties should not be near these units.

An impromptu weekend with my best friend turned into one of the most relaxing, luxurious 2 days spent away from normal life. Thoroughly recommend the lodges and The Lake restaurant.

What’s not to like. ********* failed to inform them we were coming. But they were very apologetic and offered us a 2 bed lodge called fortune. Ground floor very spacious, perfect for two couples or a family. Huge bedrooms and comfy living area. Large deck with dining set. Lovely view of nature and countryside. Nice and toasty with underfloor heating on a cold few days. We cooked one night and found all we needed , dishwasher took care of everything after. A nice unexpected,touch, a mini bus took us up to the main hotel two nights so we could eat once in Lakeside restaurant once in the bars casual dining. We then moved on to the sports bar. Mini bus available with no waiting. We don’t play golf but two full size courses and limited access to hotel spa also available. I’d be very happy,to go there again.

Great views ,relaxation in beautiful countryside. Loved the accommodation. Excellent spa ,restaurants and bar Will definitely come back. M & G
