Dog Owners Love Quarry Walk Park – Guest Reviews

Fourth time visiting here. We love it. We usually stay in a woodpecker lodge but opted for a bigger one this time. Hot tubs under cover are perfect. Met the owner’s dog this time. A friendly character!

Beth

Stayed in Badgers lodge with a hot tub for the bank holiday. Lovely accommodation and in a lovely forest setting. Great relaxing in the hot tub and dog friendly. All enjoyed their stay.

Christine

Came here for a long weekend with my partner and another couple in October 2017. Had a great time, completely switched off from the outside world. The hot tub was great, even when it was raining! Couple of pubs around which we were able to walk to with the dog in 30 mins approx. Mostly brought our own food/drink, everything we needed in terms of kitchen facilities (although I would suggest they added a bread knife to the inventory!).

Paige

A new site (as shown by lots of lodges still being built) and very much off the grid – don’t expect any mobile data and although they do sell wi-fi, they do specify they can’t guarantee how good it will be!
Still if you want to get away from it all, the staff were nice and helpful when we needed and it dog friendly with plenty of places to walk and explore.

Jon

Absolutely fantastic place, dog friendly – plenty of space for dog walks, log cabin is fantastic, well equipped/furnished – would recommend! 5*

Thomas

The only place where I feel like I’m at home when I’m holidaying with the dog.

Matt

Loverly rustic lodges, functional kitchen fab hot tub we stayed in Owl garden 37 10 days in Feb/March. The site is set in rolling countryside, with a small shop on site but also close to cheadle and many other attractions, dog friendly, welcoming staff.

Such a beautiful location and the lodges have everything you could need , so clean and tidy and even had a shop onsite  . Hot tub was the best we have used and was so large and under cover , was so cosy when it was as raining late on the evening , I would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a great park for stay and we loved our pod which has mostly all facilities you need, specially having a shower inside the room is a big plus! The location is also nice, you could drive for a few miles and can do walk/hike in peak district. We found it expensive tho, £130 for one pod is quite alot. The only reason I am giving it a 4-star is because of reception and miscommunication. Before arrival, I had multiple emails from them saying reception is open till 7 pm. We wanted to purchase some woods for the firepit and reception lady was not helpful at all. She did not sell us the woods even tho it was during opening hours and we had to drive a few miles to purchase it from Asda, quite annoying! But other than that, we had a lovely stay

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just got back as a family from our woodland escape holiday... the Lodge was so lovely, it well presented with lots of homey touches. The hot tub was already to go which was perfect for the kids. Great customer service with using WhatsApp and friendly staff on the site.  Have to say thank you as my son with autism wrap up his teddy since he had since he was 2 and I didn't realise they rang us up saying we had left him behind,  luckily had family in the area who go and get the teddy for us. Definitely recommend the park and love to come back again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The online booking process was straightforward, and the lodge is in a good location. However, the signage could be better placed, both before arriving at the site and within the grounds, as it was not immediately obvious where to go or how to find the individual lodges/pods. The lodge itself was comfortable, although a few things in the room were already a little faulty or not working as they should. This was particularly concerning because the terms and conditions state that guests may be charged for broken or damaged items. As some things were already not in perfect condition when we arrived, it made us feel uneasy and worried that we could potentially be held responsible for something that was already faulty, which affected our overall experience. There could also be more plug sockets, particularly for guests needing to charge phones and laptops, as the only convenient sockets were right beside the induction hob. The Wi-Fi was disappointing, especially as it was an additional charge. We arrived after the office had closed and were given the wrong password, meaning we couldn't use the Wi-Fi on our first night and had no one available to help. The office closing at 5pm also felt too early, particularly given the location and the possibility of guests arriving later in the day. Even after the Wi-Fi issue was resolved, the connection was not particularly good. The fire pit was also misleadingly advertised, and unfortunately the money paid for it was not refunded straight away, which was disappointing. Overall, the lodge itself was pleasant, but the customer service could be improved. Staff should be more welcoming, understanding and accommodating, particularly when guests encounter issues during their stay. A more guest-focused approach, with great customer service would have made this trip more enjoyable
