We booked a lakeside View Pod Plus for a quick weekend getaway, mainly to surprise my partner for her birthday. I called the country club beforehand to see if I could arrive early to decorate the podand they were so friendly about it. When we got there later, it was like we'd never even spoken - super smooth! Everyone was really welcoming and flexible, which made all the difference. Honestly, we’ll be returning for sure! It’s the little touches that countand they really got it right. Can’t wait to go back!

We’ve now stayed here twiceand honestly, it’s such a lovely spot! Last time we went for the wooden pods, which are perfect if you want views of the lakeand this time we tried the pod plus. The peace and privacy, especially with the hot tub, are just brilliant. The staff are always super friendly and helpful - shout out for the George Foreman when the grill was out of action! We’re already planning to come back and probably stick with the wooden pod next time. Two great nights, truly relaxing!

Great experience overall, definitely!

We had a lovely weekend away, though the weather was a bit rubbish thanks to Storm Dennis. Still, we’re definitely planning to come back in summer or autumn to enjoy the full facilities. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. Shops, pubsand restaurants are all nearby within 10 minutes drive, so everything’s pretty convenient.

Really pleased with it, no complaints at all.

We had a lovely short break, the place was so modern and well-equipped. The hot tub was a real highlight, super relaxing. Gowns and prosecco were a nice touch. Would definitely come back!

We had such a lovely escape! The site was stunningand the pod was super cosy and clean. The guidebook was really handy, especially since we’d never been around there before. Overall, it’s a peaceful, relaxing spot that’s just perfect for a happy little break. Can’t wait to go back!

We had such a lovely, relaxing getaway that we’re already planning to return this year for an activities holiday. The pods were absolutely top-notch-luxurious all the way and impeccably maintained. Sure, they are small, but honestly, we weren’t expecting a ballroom! My partner and I found plenty of space; it’s not like we’re doing salsa in there. The pull-down bed was a real bonus-already made up when we arrived, so no faffing about with quilts or pillows every night. No settee to mess with either, so just pull down, climb inand relax. The attention to detail on the site is clear-no expense spared. We’ve done hot tub breaks before, where extra costs for robes and champagne are the norm, but here it’s all included! We arrived to a chilled bottle of prosecco in the fridge and robes waiting in the wardrobe-such a nice touch. The hosts are fantastic and there’s loads to do on-site-walks, horse and sheep spotting, even clay shooting and archery. Plus, nearby attractions like Go Ape are just a short drive away. Food options around are brilliant too; we loved the Fox and Hounds, though you need to book early as it gets busy from 5pm. Plenty of other places within five minutes’ drive. Only tiny gripe is the Tetley tea - not my cup of tea (literally) but luckily, there's a shop nearby where you can grab your favourite teabags. All in all, we can’t wait to come back!

The pods are really well maintained and in a beautiful spot. There’s loads to do, but it’s also perfect just to relax and unwind. We loved it!

Great experience, highly recommend

Really enjoyed the stay, the place was lovely and peacefuland the hot tub was just what we needed!

We had such a lovely weekend here! The pod was surprisingly spacious and super comfy, not at all cramped like some reviews suggest. The hot tub was a real highlight, especially with the chilled Prosecco and cosy dressing gowns - honestly, it felt like a little luxury. The weather was scorching, hitting the 30s, so the heat inside the pod was quite intense even with the fan, but overall, it was a fantastic break. We’ll definitely recommend it and hope to come back soon!

We had a lovely stay overall! The pod was charmingand we'd definitely visit again. The only downsides were some ants in the kitchen and the blind that couldn’t be secured, letting in early morning light. Still, these minor issues didn’t spoil our trip-highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

Looking forward to our next visit already!

We spent two nights in the pod plus and honestly, it was lovely. The staff were super friendly and the little touches like the prosecco really made it special. Waking up to that view of the lake while having breakfast was just perfect. The kitchen’s quite small, so we’d suggest bringing pre-cooked meals or dining out-cooking properly isn’t really doable. But that didn’t spoil anything! Ohand the hot tub was definitely a highlight. All in all, we’d recommend it for a peaceful getaway!

A truly peaceful spot, loved it.

Really enjoyed our stay, the place was super tidy and comfy. Staff were lovely, definitely coming back soon. Cheers, Haywood Oaks!

Really enjoyed the stay, will definitely come back soon.

We had such a lovely stay! The place is really cosy and surprisingly spacious for how compact it is. The staff were super friendly and helpfuland the hot tub was a real highlight. The little touches, like the prosecco, made it extra special. We’ll be back for sure!

We had a really lovely stay here! The hot tub definitely helped us unwindand the staff were super friendly and helpful. Trying out the archery was a fun bonus. Would definitely recommend a visit if you're nearby.

We had an amazing stay! The place had everything we needed for a few days of relaxation. The chilled prosecco in the fridge was such a thoughtful touchand the robes, towelsand slippers made the hot tub even better-my mum didn’t want to leave it! The small fridge supplies and tea/coffee were a bonus. Linda was lovely-really friendly and so helpful. We’ll definitely be booking again soon, can’t wait to come back!

We had an amazing weekend celebrating my friend's birthday. Upon arrival, a chilled bottle of prosecco in the fridge was such a nice touch! The location was just what we needed-peaceful, quietand super relaxing. The hot tub was brilliant and totally private, which made it even better. The pod had everything we could ask forand the owner was really friendly and helpful. We’d love to come back sometime!

Great experience, would return

The lodge was really spotless and well-kept, which we appreciated a lot.

Great place, would definitely stay again.

Cozy and charming

Lovely get away retreat we had the most perfect time, the pod and site was beautiful, staff we couldnt fault the guide book provided was just what we needed as we hadnt been in the area before overall just beautiful, cosy, relaxing, clean, happy little get away place to go.

Spent 2 nights in the Lakeside Pod Plus with hot tub. What an amazing stay. Lovely views & quiet area yet close enough to shops & places to eat out & activities. The hot tubs are private enough so was very relaxing. Greeted with smiley faces, a very warm welcome. Clean & tidy with surprise robes to wear, coffee tea and biscuits. Great safety measures in place. Will definitely be back. The only downside I can think of is the shower is small. My BF is 6’1 and found it a bit awkward. Other than this everything was perfect.

booked a lakeside View Pod Plus for 2 nights as a weekend away for my girlfriends birthday. I rang the country club to ask if I could arrive in the morning of to decorate the pod as a surprise for when we arrived later in the day. Everyone at the site was very welcoming and allowed me to arrive early to do what I needed to do in the morning and even acted as though they had never met me when we arrived later in the day. They were very accommodating throughout. Will defiantly go back!

Great stay! Couldn't ask for much more to be honest

Very helpful staff and clean facilities.

We wanted a couple get-away, free from traffic and over crowding, and that’s what we got with a hot-tub! A perfect setting, with all the amenities you need. Would recommend to anyone wanting to escape for a while in the countryside. Close to local pubs and attractions if you wanted it. There is no WiFi and limited 4G signal, but the idea was to escape from the tech!

Lovely place!!, you get everything you need and more for a small price. Facilities were amazing ?. We had full access to a lovely secluded clean hot tub. It remained warm the whole time !! The kitchen comes with a very useful and easy to use gas cooker and oven. Only downside was our grill did not work. The pod itself was surprisingly spacious and clean. The bed was very comfy however we did have difficulty pulling the bed down and ensuring it stayed up once we converted it back to the sofa. ( I would probably provide instructions for guests using the sofa bed) The bathroom Was very modern and clean. The vanity mirror with the lights was a nice touch. The only issue was the shower never remained at a nice temperature and would go hot and cold. The base of the shower floor would get flooded quickly too. The location was very scenic and we weren’t too far from shops such as Tesco and and Nottingham city centre. All very do able in a car. We did enjoy a nice walk in the local Forest and enjoyed looking at the local wildlife and horses. Staff were very welcoming and helpful and other guests were polite and quiet. Overall I would definitely recommend and I would come back again ??.

Great staff, very welcoming and polite, lovely location in the middle of nowhere. felt the pods were a little too close to each other, could hear neighbours music and arguement, somebody was also parked in our parking space when we got there, not blaming Haywood Oakes it wasnt there fault, the weekend was lovely and relaxing overall.

Staff very happy and helpful, lovely place

Lovely staff, beautiful location and just a 30 minute journey from Nottingham City Centre if you wanted to go out aswell as enjoying the beautiful Haywood Oaks! Absolutely loved our stay !

Lovely staff and facilities help make it a great stay and will definitely return again

What an amazing little find. Beautiful and quiet, secluded and private hot tubs. Great pods considering their size very roomy.
