Coundon Lodge

A beautiful property located in a peaceful area with a complimentary breakfast. I stopped during the recent heatwave and was pleased I had packed my mini travel fan as my room had the sun in the afternoon, usually this would have been a treat, just not on this occasion. My room was on the ground floor and initially I thought, that’s no problem… except the windows face the garden and communal outside seating, so make sure you close the curtains to spare any blushes.. I also did not take into consideration that the door to the room is between the kitchen area and the breakfast / dining room.. this meant that the sound of cutlery being sorted (possibly by guests as it has the feel of help yourself but please tidy up after about it) at 1030 pm on a work night was a bit of a pain… not as much of a pain as the following night around 1130 when two chaps decided on an evening snack and conversation in between the aforementioned rooms outside my door, blushes were not considered when I opened the door (naked (it was v hot, remember)) and politely asked them to consider other guests..so, great property and staff, maybe needs a sign indicating there’s a room tucked away and be a little considerate.

Friendly and helpful host. Nice welcome on arrival. Small but functional room with comfy bed, decent (shared) bathroom. Adequate parking. Nice continental breakfast. Comfy lounge area with big screen TV for watching cricket highlights! Walls are very thin. Could hear the next room folks talking at 1am.

Couldon Lodge is a lovey old place, full of character. The gardens are huge and the outlook across them and the fields beyond very relaxing, especially on a nice afternoon, when you've returned from work. The bed was comfortable and clean. The continental Breakfast arrangements are convenient and plenty of choice.

Lovely place to stay nice surroundings, clean and tidy and a good choice for breakfast
