Melbourne Lodge

Lovely stay but rooms need updating . Light and kettle not working .

The property was great lovely views great staff. Would plan to stay longer next time

Lovely room but not easy to find arriving after dark and an absolute faff having to check in at one building to then drive to another building to find room and then have to do again in the morning

It was very difficult to find the lodge. For some reason it’s not labelled as Melbourne Lodge. If they’d have told me it is the old stables then I’d have probably found it easier. It’s also concerning how fast people were driving around in their golf carts. One guy was going so fast that he actually skidded on the driveway when he tried to turn the corner. I was walking my dog at the time so it’s very disconcerting. The bed was very comfortable. It was hard in the room though because they left the curtains open and all the heat from the sun came into the room. Fortunately, they did provide a fan. The hand tail had an undesirable hair on it, so that was a bit gross. The whole place is basically a golf course so I get the impression that their golf course is more important to them than the lodgings. The grounds are beautiful, but it’s a bit confusing as to wear you’re allowed to take your dog and what is the golf course and what is an actual footpath.

Reading some of the reviews ahead of our visit, we were a little concerned after we’d made our booking but we needn’t have been concerned! The staff we met with during our stay were very helpful, welcoming and friendly. Our room, although it looked a little tired, it was very spacious, clean and comfortable - and served its purpose for exactly what we needed (just an overnight stay whilst we visited friends in the area). Whilst some refurbishment is needed of the bedroom and bathroom, we found the cost we paid for the room reflected this, so did not feel we were overcharged for something we didn’t receive. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the area extremely quiet! We enjoyed our stay…just wish the weather had been better so we could walk around and enjoy the grounds!!

Unique and beautiful! Kind and helpful staff.

We were welcomed by warm friendly service The spacious ‘stately rooms were hung with original art work . A beautiful alfresco terrace for breakfast

Very nice with good environment

Expected a more luxurious room. TV screen mini size. More milk for the tea could only make 2 cups. Not value for money

2 night stay, there was no restaurant facilities available after 17.30 on the first night so had to dine early. Second night dined at the local pub. Only 1 teabag each night! Rooms quiet which would be expected in the middle of a golf course in winter. Nothing to do on the complex probably due to the time of year.

A lovely room in great location Only issue was check in process - was told go to golf club but it was actually the restaurant so not clear

Absolutely lovely place to stay, the only let down was that although i booked a double bed room the bed wasn't a full size double and the quilt wasn't large enough to cover me completely, the saving grace was the additional banket on the bed. I will stay again but will ensure i communicate with them prior to my stay to ensure they accommodate my 6,4" needs. another positive was the fact i could shower without having to Squat under the shower head. which is often a problem in some of the larger chain hotels.

Terrible way finding signage. If you arrive after 4pm you have no chance of finding your way around. Impossible to find the reception. The details sent are incorrect as the reception area has changed. The breakfast rooms lacks any atmosphere and is quite simply, depressing.

Very limited instructions on arrival. The deluxe room was very tired looking holes in a dirty and threadbare carpet - unable to use bath or shower as the entry is very deep and even deeper getting out. Room very clean tho - no instructions as to wifi or times of breakfast. Charged an extortionate £50 for a small dog - one night! Amazing breakfast and fast service

Un merveilleux temps de repos et de sérénité. les repas étaient excellents. Le service discret, chaleureux, efficace. Merci beaucoup

Beautiful grounds, beautiful room, lovely staff, great food.

Night staff very helpful. room and location perfect. Let down completely by the painfully slow breakfast service

Great, practice comfortable overnight stay in readiness for golf the next day. Lovely showers

A fantastic stay for my parents 60th wedding anniversary- the staff were so helpful and kind - highly recommend
