The property is very clean and modern. The lodge itself was bigger than expected and a super king size bed! Amazing! It was a birthday celebration (a big birthday) and was overwhelmed with a card and prosecco from Peter & Karen. The hot tub & pool are literally outside the lodge were brilliant, although the house is next door we never felt we were overlooked. Peter was a brilliant host, ideas for places to visit and very accomodating for any requests we had. Visited the Robin Hood pub just 5 minutes walk up the road, very nice. Will be recommending Blackthorn to many friends and family. A great place to stay, would love to come again. Thank you Peter & Karen! ##### Katherine P.

It was handy that there was a cot available at Blackthorn! Finding somewhere to stay for a our first mini break was a challenge but Blackthorn suited us perfectly. Parking, quiet location - but not too far off the beaten track, hot tub, swimming pool, stunning views. Suited us perfectly. And fresh hen eggs and duck eggs (a particular favorite of mine) every day! Would recommend to similar couples seeking a few days away from the smog of London! ##### Chris G. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Best Western Pinewood Manchester Airport-Wilmslow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wilmslow-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Pinewood-On-Wilmslow-Hotel-Cheshire.h22074.Hotel-Information) > > [Felbridge Gatwick Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-Grinstead-Hotels-Elite-Venue-Selection-Felbridge-Gatwick.h16173617.Hotel-Information) > > [Bredbury Hall by Accor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockport-Hotels-Bredbury-Hall.h64706.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Colchester.h14251.Hotel-Information) > > [Ox Hotel Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Milton-Manchester-Hotel.h18787802.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > > [Britannia Hotel Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Britannia-Hotel-Manchester-Airport.h2144.Hotel-Information) > > [Fisherman's Cot, Tiverton by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tiverton-Hotels-Fishermans-Cot.h11900175.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > > [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > > [Wychnor Park Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Wychnor-Park-Country-Club.h1927715.Hotel-Information) > > [Caverswall Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Caverswall-Castle.h23959535.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) > > [The New French Partridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northampton-Hotels-The-New-French-Partridge.h2288818.Hotel-Information) > > [Etrop Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Etrop-Grange.h49116.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bowman by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nottingham-Hotels-The-Bowman.h46162199.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest Pines Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brigg-Hotels-Forest-Pines-Spa-Golf-Resort.h461512.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeside Lodge with 6 berth hot tub and private fishing peg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Delightful-Lakeside-Lodge-With-Hot-Tub-Private-Fishing-Peg-With-Stunning-View.h27123912.Hotel-Information) > > [Northlands Farm & Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Northlands-Farm-Lakes-Premium-Chalet-1.h37797465.Hotel-Information) > > [Urban Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Urban-Beach-Hotel.h2814369.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > > [Makeney Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belper-Hotels-Makeney-Hall-Hotel.h1206529.Hotel-Information) ---
