    Everything was as expected for our short stay
    The beds were very comfortable, room was clean and had everything we needed fir or stay.
    Unfortunately, there was half a bottle of water in the fridge. Someone must have forgotten to take the used bottle out and replace it

    comfortable sleep, however the room needs some TLC. very friendly Lady owner.
    beds were comfortable, very convenient having fridge in room. close to car park
    shower leaked through glass panel’s, shower head needs jets / holes unblocking, shower mixer doesn’t work in one direction. glass door was at an angle when we arrived, shower light blew at 10pm and wiped out all the lights in the apartment. to be fair to the owners, I reported the shower light and the door the next morning and they were fixed before I arrived back to the property that same day.

    Secluded and quiet, but within easy reach of the town and further afield.
    It was like being in studio flat. A good sized room, with separate shower room . The location being inside a town was unexpected as all we could see from the first floor window were trees and it was very quiet. I lived near Park Road for 35 years and went up and down every day. I remember the two bungalows being bought and joined together and the front car park being built, but I had no idea this little lodge camp was at the back. An innovative idea well before clamping pods became a revolution. The lodges are made from good quality log cabins and well maintained, although noise is a slight issue. A team of 3 in a golf buggy doing the cleaning and they seem very efficient. Having a key lock means that it doesn't matter what time you turn up you can get into the Lodge. You have your own special key lock number. The room has a television and free wi-fi. I don't need to go south very often, but I would definitely indeed consider staying here again.
    THIS IS BEING VERY PICKY. I could cope with two plates, bowles, cups and cutlery etc. But the only cooking utensils were a spatula and a tin opener. The kitchenette area was very small, needed a light and if you had washing up on the draining board absolutely no where to prepare anything. At the very least you need a bread knife and a chopping board. A salt and pepper would also be helpful. The hot plates are now very old and take a long time to heat up and with the timer you tend to forget that they get turned off automatically. The bar with two stools does not work particularly well in my opinion. Again with the items they leave on the top (much appreciated) it was very difficult to have room to even make a sandwich. I believe a small table and two chairs would be far better. The shower (a little tired) needs a towel rail for the hand towel. The only place to put it is through the shower cubicle handle, plus somewhere to put a bar of soap in the shower. Leaving the bath towels on the hooks inside the room was okay. The important part is the beds and the mattresses were not particularly good. Squidgy, but with a hardish top. Newer firmer mattresses are needed. Similarly I understand that having poly/cotton bedding is easy to wash, but the feel when sleeping is again not particularly good and even cheap cotton bedding would be a bonus. Being on the first floor we had a set of outside stairs to go up and beneath was a concrete path with quite a lot of rubbish. 5 minutes would have cleared it up, just an attention to detail. I repeat that this is all very picky and I think it is helpful for the owners to have this feedback. On the whole I was happy with the accommodation.

    A short 2 nt stay to visit my sister who is quite poorly but the accommodation was very relaxing.
    Location within walking distance of Didcot main shopping centre & station if required. We also love the self catering facilities as has everything you would need. This is our 4th stay at these lodges as convenient for visiting our relatives who live in Harwell just 2 miles away.
    There was nothing to dislike in our opinion but definitely prefer the ground floor lodges to the 1st floor we had this time as being in the elderly bracket, it was a bit difficult carrying our luggage up the wooden steps but understandably being a last minute booking during the summer holiday season, this was the only one available but it served our purpose of the visit.

    Superb
    The room was very cosy and had everything we needed. Shower was fabulous and clean.
    Can’t really fault room or parking, but only annoying thing was next door to us whoever was in there were banging and smashing stuff around most of the night. Especially after we wanted to sleep after the long drive down not ideal.
