Had a lovely short break a few problems though the smell of weed coming from cabin 32 was very strong, when reported to staff nothing was done about it, no restaurant on site which is a shame

Horrendous customer service
They took a security deposit out my bank 24 hours before arriving with no warming. It’s now been a week and it’s still pending. Customer service is horrendous, you can get in contact with anyone. I tried ringing the reception and no answer, the London number and no answer. No answer to email or enquiry online. The only response I had was form someone on messenger that said it’s released at 72 hours but I still haven’t had it back.
The place is dated. There’s nothing there. It states all these things to do but something is missing from all the activities.
Book with caution.
Would not return.

Please do not go here AVOID
Please do not go here AVOID, there isn’t anything that related to a retreat
There terms says if any facilities are closed etc they will let you know , which never happened , nothing open in terms of well living , the cabin had the most uncomfortable beds ever the cheapest mattresses , I have tried to complain but they are
Choosing to ignore after telling me you only pay for the room
And not any of the facilities
Please avoid as the wellness is not open at all
Woodlakes site not as advertised
Would agree with the person who said false advertising. Booked Woodlakes because of the holistic wellbeing experience advertised. The site was having work done (which we weren't told before booking or before arriving) so we weren't able to access the amenities we expected and paid for. When we asked for a partial refund we were told the price is for self contained accommodation only. Also mattresses are REALLY uncomfortable! Wouldn't go back or recommend. CHECK AND GET IN WRITING WHAT IS INCLUDED AND ACCESSIBLE BEFORE YOU BOOK AND PAY!!
Our stay at Woodlakes Norfolk!!
Me and my boyfriend stayed at woodlakes in the oasis 5 lodge. It was the most perfect stay although there was a few issues we didn't let it ruin the experience. Helen our rep was extremely helpful from start from finish and we would highly recommend her to everybody. She is fab at what she does. She raised the concerns that we had with her management team and they managed to sort out a deal for us for our next stay at a different lodge. We would highly recommend woodlakes it is such a beautiful peaceful place with stunning views. There is a bar and a restaurant on site but we are out at arbuckles American diner on the first night which we would 100% recommend. The lodge its self was absolutely beautiful and you feel at home as soon as you enter we honestly didn't want to leave. So once again thank you to all the staff at woodlakes liv retreats and most of all Helen!! Xxx
Stayed at the Black Bull near…
Stayed at the Black Bull near Bridlington. Booked via Hayley on social media. It’s a great little site, quite small but we preferred it like that. We have a couple of small dogs that loved it and we were so near to the dog friendly beach’s. We looked out with the weather and sat on the hot tub over looking the fields was amazing.
We had a lovely stay in Sherwood Forest…
We had a lovely stay in Sherwood Forest in the May half term holidays for 4 nights. Lots to do onsite for children: indoor pool, sports activities, play equipment dotted around the site, etc. My kids loved it and have already asked to go back!

I went to apple grove country park and it was very enjoyable, the lodge was very clean and modern. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The hot tub was really relaxing and a great way to unwind. Would recommend
I stayed at kingslynn leux sky
I stayed at kingslynn leux sky, and I must say I had the best time. The sight seeing was amazing with lots of beautiful sights and outings to visit, the pubs we stopped in were welcoming and friendly. The hot tub was refreshing and cosy, will be staying again
Booking experience
Due to stay here on Saturday and booked through Tasha. She provided all the information I needed made it quick and easy and was a pleasure to deal with. Will book through her again highly recommend and can’t wait to stay! X
DO NOT GO NEAR
DO NOT GO NEAR. THEY ADVERTISE AS HAVING WIFI - YET DO NOT WHICH IS MISLEADING AND FALSE ADVERTISING. Booked as travelling with my husband for work, his job got extended and we could not stay in our current lodge, therefore having to look for an alternative. Having found out this lodge does not have wifi, therefore having to look for an alternative. Contacted the company to request a refund due to the misleading wifi status. Request declined. They get customers there under false pretences. PLEASE READ REVIEWS BEFORE BOOKING WITH THIS AWFUL COMPANY.

Will be back!
We stayed in Lux Barn 1 at Applegrove Country Park in March. The lodge was lovely, and exactly as described with all the facilities we needed for our stay. The park is very quiet. Fabulous hot tub too.
Check in was easy and Lee was always available if we needed him from time of booking to check in.
We enjoyed our stay so much we have booked again for December.
Had a great stay 4night stay over new years
We stayed in the beautiful Larch plus 22 down at the Woodlakes country park in Norfolk
The log cabin was a great size...bigger ban we expected and was situated right on the lake. You couldn't get the hot tub a y closer to the lake without being in it haha..
We stayed for 4 nights over new year.
When we arrived the heating was on and the hot tub was hot and ready to use which was a great touch.
Everything in the kitchen was what we needed to cook our own meals and well equipped.
Bedrooms were a good size too.
Onsite has 3 restaurants/bars, we ate in the pan Asia and sat in one of the outdoor domes and the meal was absolutely beautiful ( although I believe this is now a sushi restaurant)
We loved the site and lodge that much we have booked again for this new year.
Lovely site and great style of different accommodation here too.
We’ve stayed on 4/6 Liv retreat…
We’ve stayed on 4/6 Liv retreat locations and we’ve loved every single visit. The prices are competitive, booking is always easy and sites and facilities always good and clean. The last couple of times we visited we actually booked through a company called Hares Hideaways on Facebook and they were able to give us an extra discount. For anybody wanting a nice break away, Liv Retreats is your one stop shop
Woodlakes Park in Norfolk
Visited Woodlakes Park in Norfolk for a fishing weekend away with my partner and 2 dogs. Great lodge on cabin lake, lovely walks round the lakes, on-site restaurant is great too. Would go back!
I visited Woodlakes Park in Norfolk.
I visited Woodlakes Park in Norfolk and stayed in the Cosy Cedar lodge. The lodge was ideal for us as a couple with 2 dogs, it was also in an ideal location for fishing cabin lake. The site is beautiful, great walk round the lakes with the dogs. The restaurant ‘Jack’s’ was amazing, and also catered very well for gluten free too!

Live Retreats highly recommended
After visiting several Liv Retreats this year and just last month at Little Eden Bridlington I’d like to thank Emma Love to Travel, Home and Away with Emma for always being very helpful and very good at finding the best accommodation for my visits with my husband, with family and with friends. The lodges have always been great affordable, with beautiful and peaceful surroundings. There lodges have been very spacious and having outside space and an hottub is an extra added bonus. We will be returning for several more visits and highly recommended Liv Retreats.
