Where do I start, Lythwood far exceeded our expectations. My wife and I chose to visit Lythwood for our anniversary. I requested something special to be done in our room and it was over and above what I expected, to add to that they upgraded us to the Honeymoon suite. Much appreciated. We arrived a bit late but the staff and dining room staff were patiently waiting for us and super friendly with excellent service. Our dinner was devine and so was our breakfast. The room was clean, spacious, modern, stunning, luxurious, cosy and had everything we needed and more. It is a very relaxing and quiet place. The location is scenic and well maintained. Both my wife and I were very impressed by Lythwood Lodge.

What an incredible experience we had there! It was a last minute booking and we had never heard of Lythwood before. What a surprise to arrive as such a beautiful spot! The staff are simply wonderful!! The dinner was exceptional and our little chalet was beautiful, clean and the staff even do a ‘turn down’ in the evening. I highly recommend for a stop over or if you just need to chill!! Will definitely go back there.

This is our 4th visit to Lythwood, two of which have been in the past 6 months. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, every single member of staff was outstanding 😊. When we arrived, we were welcomed warmly. They had remembered us from our previous visit.🤷♀️😊. The food is first class as well.

We recently got married at Lythwood Lodge and it was a very memorable and amazing weekend. We stayed there for two nights and booked out the lodge for our guests. John and his team were amazing. The staff were extremely hospitable and friendly, the food was delicious and the accommodation was comfortable. Lythwood has various locations on site when it comes to having the ceremony and reception, and they are all beautiful options to choose from. The lodge offered all of our guests a cozy and fun experience and staying for two nights turned our wedding day into a wedding weekend event with close families and friends to celebrate with all weekend long! John was fantastic throughout our wedding planning journey, and gave good guidance and ideas to use on the day as well as followed a 30 page wedding plan given to him and his team for the day! The venues for the ceremony and reception were perfect and scenic and everything was done beautifully. We couldn't have envisioned a more perfect day or weekend. Thank you very much to John and his team for making our day incredibly special and beautiful, we could not have chosen a better location to get married and spend the weekend with our families and friends!…

I had another wonderful stay at this beautiful place in the world. Friendly service and good food. I'd definitely recommend others stay at Lythwood. There are large rainbow trout in the dam but I didn't manage to catch any. We were lucky enough to see a Reebok in the forest.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 3rd visit to Lythwood Lodge. We spent four nights at Lythwood and will certainly be spending many more there. The overall standard remains exceptional: warm efficient staff, delicious food, high standard of cleanliness and hygiene. The tranquil environment, lovely views of rivers and hills with cattle grazing peacefully all made for a wonderful stay. In our many years of travelling we have yet to come across more committed, caring and warm staff. Lythwood Lodge is highly recommended whether for a one night stopover or a longer stay. A word of caution! Do not be put off by the slightly adventurous 7km drive from the R103 to the Lodge - it is worth it!

It is a great establishment. The staff are efficient and very friendly. Always love going there. The rooms are always clean and refreshing. It feels like home away from home. The food is always of excellent quality, the chef knows what he is doing.

Lythwood is situated high up in the mountains with a stunning view of the valley and cows grazing. The family unit was large and spacious with a lounge and well supplied, self catering kitchen. What we enjoyed most was the staff. So friendly and the service we received from the receptionist from our first phonecall enquiry to our departure was exceptional. Fine dining experience and good food.
