The booking process was very straightforward with Lilac lodge, we were torn between two of the lodges on site but glad we opted for Lilac.
When we arrived we entered the main gate which is only accessible to guests, this added an exclusive and luxury feel to the site, we noticed how quiet and respectful all of our neighbors were and this was exactly what we were looking for!
Our lodge was beautifully clean and tidy throughout and had a real homely feel, lilac lodge over looks a small duck pond where our children watched the ducks and rabbits every morning, this was a lovely little surprise for our youngest son who loves animals.
The hot tub was a great addition and very simple to use, it was kept clean with daily checks by one of the onsite team.
The bed were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped with everything you'd need for a holiday stay....the only thing I'd say is that there is no colander, we painstakingly drained spoon by spoon of rice which was a bit annoying but other than that we had everything we needed.
The two shower rooms meant we had no squabbling over who was having a shower first, the overhead rainfall shower was a lovely little addition to the ensuite.
Roadford lakes location was beautiful and quiet, the lake is just stunning at sunset and the various walks are perfect for any age, we did try the onsite cafe for a hot drink but we unfortunately didn't stop for food, the cafe was nice and clean, the staff were friendly and the coffee was ok, the cafe also has a little gift shop and ice creams as well as lovely views.
Overall the grounds/location was beautiful and relaxing, the lodge was clean, well equipped and a good size but I only wish there was an essentials shop nearby, we spent a lot of money on fuel because there was absolutely nothing nearby which was the only thing we would say needs a rethink.
We loved our family holiday at Roadford Lakes and we will be back next summer.
