A lovely break away. Very clean and comfy
Had everything required for a quiet relaxing break with a bar & restaurant onsite & a marina.Clean, tidy with quality furniture & a hot tub
Great little one bed lodge.
Fabulous lodge with everything you need provided.
We didnt have a riverside view however the view of the countryside was lovely.From the car park there were a row of lodges (with our lodge 4), in front of us were more lodges then infront of them was a touring pitch then the river.On arrival the gentleman was very friendly and informative on the local area which was nice.Went we went into the lodge there were chocolates on the bed (lovely touch) and i was pleased to see there were fans available (much needed with the weather).The beds were really comfy - we all slept well.Towels and dressing gowns were privided.The bathroom was spacious and there were some cotton buds, make up pads and hygienen bags in the cabinet.The kitchen was a good size and the fridge / freezer was more than adequate.The lounge area was comfortable and the tv was a good size.The lodge was spacious with everything we needed and the hot tub was a great addition.
Spacious one bedroomed Lodge, beautifully presented and maintained. Extremely generous supply of crockery, cutlery and glassware. Privileged position to watch all the River activity.
Very clean and spacious. Had everything you needed to enjoy the break. Hot tub was kept maintained and very clean. There is nothing I could complain about.
Very pleased with everything
Excellent, well presented.
Excellent holiday can't fault the site
As soon as we walked in the Lodge we just felt so at home and relaxed. All the little touches made it feel very special. Can't wait to come back.
Very comfortable and spotless, well equipped lodge. Everything you need for a visit is available.
Beautiful loads, spotlessly clean! Lovely hot tub! We had a wonderful stay!
Perfect relaxing holiday.great lodge with hot tub,would recommend 100%.
Stayed here for a long weekend Lovely quiet place on the river Lodge was lovely Nice and clean , spacious, all the essentials Hot tub was great Few nice local pubs / restaurants with good Day boat /paddle board hire available Nice walks We had a lovely time
Great welcome - easy onsite parking, lodge was very clean, well equipped and the Hot tub was fantastic!Site is well placed to go out and explore areas attractions etc.Very relaxed during the entire stay - just lovely ????
We stayed in Lodge 3. It was immaculately clean, with good facilities and extras like tea and coffee which was most welcome.
A very clean and maintained lodge in a lovely position overlooking the river. The hot tub is superb and the decking gets sun as well as shade. No complaints at all.
Overall very nice, could do with curtain on front door.
There are two Southwold 2 lodges.One sits behind the mobile home pitches, the other sits behind the first one.The view from the front one is perfect if there are no tourers staying but otherwise impacted slightly by those.The view from the back one is pretty much just the rear of the front lodge so less of the river.Having said that the rear one has overall better privacy and the hot tubs have effective screening which is optonal to use.Our accommodation was very clean and tidy and nicely laid out and furnished.Robes, hot tub towels, a free to use laundry (no washing powder) and good quality shower gel add to the experience.Walking distance to shops and pubs with a nice on-site cafe too.No hesitation recommending.
Brilliant accommodation in every way. Clean, convenient, everything we needed in the lodge. Lovely outlook. Plenty storage, well equipped kitchen.
Excellent and well equipped lodge. Good public transport links so need to drive anywhere once there.
Have been here the past couple of years now and we always have a fantastic time. The lodge is always so clean and the staff so helpful. The nearby cafe also serves fantastic food and you get 20% by staying in the lodges. Definitely recommend!
I would absolutely recommend Benson Waterfront - the photos on the website dont do it justice at all! The setting is like no other - right on the canal with options for boat hire. Its stunning and peaceful with a bistro on site with loads of outdoor seating in the sun - the food was delicious. We specifically chose this site due to its close proximity to Legoland (just a 45 min drive) whats better than a long day at the theme-park than coming home to dinner by the water and a few hours in the hot tub?! Bliss! (And at a fraction of the cost too!)The caravan itself was very clean, spacious and well equipped (towels, soap, shampoo and a range of kitchen utensils all provided) much more than weve had on offer in other caravan stays. We were very surprised by the size of bathroom and there was even a bath, perfect for kids!The surrounding area is beautiful - 5 mins walk to the local village for dinner in the local pub, and supermarket for necessities. And a 2 mins boat ride across the canal to the Benson lock for a short walk into neighbouring Wallingford. A half hour drive from Oxford, or just 45 mins on the bus that picks you up right at the site entrance. The owners were very welcoming and friendly and made sure we were well looked after. We had an amazing stay here and hope to be back in the future.
10 out of 10. Perfect in everyway.
Really happy with the service, highly recommend.
We loved the lodge - beautifully kept, super comfy and the hot tub was fab!
Great vibe, good food
We absolutely loved this lodge! It was impeccably clean both inside and out, which is rare. The hot tub was fantastic after a day of exploring. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Perfect base for visiting Oxford, the Cotswolds and London - weve been back twice already!
Weve just returned from a lovely weekend at Waterfront. Agnesa on reception was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain all the details, which was really appreciated. Our lodge faced south and had stunning waterfront views - it was warm, spotless and surprisingly spacious. Theres a charming cafe/bistro by the water, along with a couple of great pubs nearby, all within walking distance. The private hot tub was the perfect way to unwind at sunset. Wed definitely come back!
We had a lovely, relaxing weekend!
Fab place to stay we will definitely be back. Great attention to detail within the lodge all the little things thought of
Had an Amazing weekend break at this delightful caravan/lodge. Ever so clean and all the home comforts you could need in the property (and more…even bathrobes to use when you get out the tub!). Staff were really friendly and helpful, and it’s such a beautiful peaceful location, owith stunning walks in all directions, cafe/restaurant on site and local towns nearby with more to offer. Would highly recommend. Thanks for a lovely time.
We enjoyed our stay. The loge & hot tub was amazing & very clean. Staff are very friendly & helpful, always on hand.
Just would like to say the hot tub well matained. But Just disappointed it had a small leak, and the view of the river was not good, because of the trees & the caravans that was phich up in front of our loge.
A lovely lodge with hot tub in a beautiful riverside setting. Close to local attractions, but secluded in its own way. Very friendly and helpful staff, nice bistro within easy walking distance.
Great lodges in beautiful location. Very clean and well maintained. Couldn't fault them.
We stopped here for a week and we absolutely loved our stay. We didn’t experience any problems whilst there so unable to comment on this. The lodge was very clean and had everything you could need to self cater. We used the Waterfront cafe which is adjacent to the lodge site and found it be be reasonable and what we ate was good. We also used the pub in the village finding the service / food excellent. There is a bus stop in front of the Waterfront cafe car park so you can access Oxford, Reading and lots of other places without having to use the car. We can not see hunk of a bad thing to say about these lodges, hopefully to return soon
Beautiful, clean lodge with everything provided made for a comfortable stay. Hot tub was immaculately clean and checked daily. Only ate once at the restaurant but food was lovely, service quick and staff polite. Would recommend a stay here.
Excellent accommodation. Only downside is proximity to main road.
Really impressed with the lodge, couldn’t of asked for anything better. The host was very friendly and helpful. A very beautiful place, we will definitely go back.
