Staffordshire Hot Tub Lodge Near Rudyard Lake
A spacious single storey lodge sleeping six in three bedrooms, with a covered six person hot tub, an enclosed garden leading to shared grounds with access to Rudyard Lake, two well-behaved pets welcome and the Rudyard Hotel pub three minutes' walk away. There is no fishing at the lodge.
A family hot tub lodge by Rudyard Lake, not a fishing lodge. Kipling Lodge is a well equipped three bedroom lodge with a covered hot tub, EV charger and a secure garden for dogs, a short walk from Rudyard Lake. Its listing does not mention fishing, and there is no private lake or peg, so it should not appear as a fishing lodge. It suits a family or friends' break near Leek and Alton Towers. Note: there is no fishing on site.
Good for
- Families or friends up to six
- Bringing up to two dogs
- Days out at Alton Towers and The Roaches
Think twice if
- You want fishing at the lodge: none is listed
- You are a group under 25 or a stag or hen party: not accepted
Allow for the drive in
Reviews on the listing mention a rough road, a steep driveway and a drop down to the lake, which can be awkward despite the step-free lodge.
