The Levels, Strawberryfield Park

Initially we were looking for a shepherds hut but given the weather forecast decided on somewhere offering a bit more warmth and a shower and we found it. This lodge/ cabin was so well appointed suggesting that the owners have not held back on the set up costs. Bang & Olufsen TV system Dualit kitchen appliances and fantastic lighting throughout the lodge just to name a few. The hot tub ready and waiting and lovely wood burner in the lounge area although with an unseasonable 18degrees we didn’t fire it up. Super clean and bed was so comfortable. If you have a fire stick bring it as all connections ready for use. Yes I thourougly recommend this please and staff super friendly.

The cabin was beautiful, we were greeted with a bottle of wine, water, fresh milk in the fridge and cookies was a really lovely touch. Everything was presented beautifully, even the handbook which had all recommendations of location amenities, from taxies to pubs and take away with all menus and numbers. However, upon closer inspection there was lots of dust and cobwebs, hair still in the shower etc. Several handles broken and temperamental lights. When we arrived we were asked to let them know of any damages before our stay so that we could not be 'blamed' / charged for them - each item we mentioned they were already aware of - it felt as though they knew of these damages but didn't actually want to fix any of them. The hot tub was nice, the cover on our one was too big and didn't fit which meant during the night it was constantly trying to get its self back up to temperature. Ours backed onto a single lane road, there was no privacy and people walking / driving by were able to see you. Another review mentioned this from last year and the owners responded to say they had put extra trees / bushes in for privacy but I don't think this was the case. The kitchen, had everything you could think of, right through to baking equipment. Whilst this is good for a self catering cabin - it did mean that there was no cupboard space left for our food. On the whole it is a lovely and peaceful place to stay, and the location was excellent for us.

The Levels is a lovely lodge, there are a few things that need some attention ie lose sink tap, but that's the same in most places. Comfort I put 4 as I did not think the couch was its way too low to the floor so had a problem getting up from it. The bed was very comfortable slept really well, hot tub was very good at just the right height that I could get in and out as have slight mobility problems.
