I spent 14 days at the Recovery Lodge for medical detox & to help to overcome my alcohol and benzodiazepine addiction. The staff, many of whom have personal experience of addiction were compassionate and understanding. They were also fair, and encouraged independance and personal growth.
There is an emphasis on a 12 step programme and clients attend local AA, CA and NA meetings.
There is also daily group therapy which covers a broad range of relevant topics by highly experienced and professional counsellors. In addition, they offer one-to-one session.
The house is clean & cosy, with only 6 residents at a time.
There is a real sense of family and support for each other.
The shopping list is done with staff at weekends and they honestly leave you spoilt for choice with options of what to eat.
It is a little gem of a rehab run by people who are passionate about what they do. I'll forever be grateful for my experience there.

I honestly don’t know where I would be today without the support I received at the lodge From the moment I arrived, I was treated with kindness, respect, and understanding, even at a time when I didn’t feel much of that for myself.
Every member of staff went above and beyond—not just doing their jobs, but truly caring. You created a safe space where I could be honest, rebuild myself, and start to believe that change was possible. The patience, encouragement, and compassion you showed me made more of a difference than I can fully put into words.
Recovery isn’t easy, but because of you, I now have the tools, strength, and hope to keep moving forward. You didn’t just help me through a difficult time—you helped me find a new way of living.
Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, and for all the lives you continue to change every single day. I will always be grateful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Recovery Lodge – the place that saved my life
I arrived at The Recovery Lodge on death’s door — completely shattered, broken in every way, and on the very edge of giving up. I was physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted, and I honestly didn’t know if I had anything left in me. But from the moment I walked through those doors, something changed. This place didn’t just help me… it brought me back to life.
I stayed for 10 weeks, and in that time the transformation was something I never thought possible. The staff are an absolute credit to the centre. Every single person there goes above and beyond, not just because it’s their job, but because they truly care. They see you, they hear you, and they hold you up when you can’t do it for yourself. Their compassion, patience and understanding is something I’ll never forget.
The Recovery Lodge felt like a home away from home — a safe, warm environment where I was supported, guided, and nurtured every single day. The level of care I received was the highest I’ve ever experienced. I wasn’t just another person coming through the doors… they treated me like a human being who deserved hope, healing and a future.
To say “thank you” doesn’t feel big enough. This place saved my life. They gave me strength, clarity, and the chance to rebuild myself when I didn’t think it was possible. I will be forever grateful to every member of staff who played a part in my recovery.
If you’re struggling, or you have a loved one who needs help, The Recovery Lodge is a light in the darkest of places. They gave me my second chance at life — and I’ll never stop thanking them for it. ❤️ Liv x

I spent 4weeks there last year not knowing what to expect. I was 39 years old and I had tried to get clean on my own so many times before. These guys really went into detail about my addictions and help me understand why and what they are. I can't thank them enough and am a better man/son/brother/uncle/human for spending 4 weeks with them!
Thank you so much!!
Shout out to Ian, Tamzin!!! Stay brilliant!

I owe everyone at the Recovery Lodge so much.. having struggled for many years, the work of all the staff and therapists is amazing... they are all very kind, with great understanding of recovery and made my stay there a turning point in my life.
The house is like home, it’s clean and comfortable. A small number of clients means that everyone is looked after really well.
I highly recommend the Recovery Lodge 😀

Coming to the recovery lodge is definitely the best thing I've ever done, I had hit rock bottom and the lodge knew exactly how to help me. All the staff are amazing and know exactly what they are talking about. As soon as i entered the lodge it felt like a second home to me, you get an amazing welcome and I got the help I needed. Thankyou everyone at the lodge for helping me through my struggles.

I came to The Recovery Lodge at the lowest point in my life. I was addicted to alcohol, and I had lost everything: my job, my home, my relationships. I was hopeless and didn't know where to turn.
But The Recovery Lodge gave me hope. The staff are incredibly supportive and understanding truly going above and beyond. They helped me to understand my addiction and how to overcome it. They also taught me the skills I need to stay sober in the long term.
I am now 11 months sober, and I can honestly say that Recovery Lodge saved my life. I am so grateful for the care and support that I received there. It is impossible to truly show my gratitude.
Here are some specific ways that Recovery Lodge changed my life:
They taught about the science of addiction and what I can do to positively change my life long term.
They helped me to develop coping mechanisms and tools for dealing with the manageability of day to day Life
I learned how to build a sober support network.
I gained the confidence to believe in myself and my ability to stay sober.
I am now living a healthy and fulfilling life. I am back to work, I have rebuilt my relationships, and I am doing things that I never thought possible. My life has been renewed I am so grateful to Recovery Lodge for giving me the chance to turn my life around.
Not only did they help me, they were supportive and helpful to my family and loved ones.
If you are struggling with addiction, I urge you to reach out to Recovery Lodge. They can help you to change your life too.
Here are some additional things that I would like to say about Recovery Lodge:
The facilities were clean and comfortable.
The food was healthy and delicious.
The activities were varied and engaging.
The staff were friendly and compassionate.

I will always be grateful for what the staff in the recovery lodge have done for me and my family, I arrived in a desperate state feeling I had lost myself to my addiction, but after spending 28 days here giving everything I had into the program I left with the knowledge and understanding of what my illness had done to me and how to live in recovery. What the staff and owners do here is incredible, the structure and implementation of the Therapy sessions are what made the difference to the outcome of my recovery, I hope this message reaches someone who is in the place I was and helps takes the brave step to change their life as it has done for me.

Firstly, I thought I had left a message/rating when I left the lodge 6 years but turns out I hadn't.
Secondly, after reading through the reviews, I am gob smacked that some people left 1 star rating. They obviously wasn't ready to stop their drinking/druguse and didn't open up to the whole recovery phase.
Thirdly and lastly to my review. I can honestly say that the lodge saved my life. Without the help of everyone who worked there I probably wouldn't be around today or if I was I wouldn't have my wife and oldest boy in my life. Everyone who works there are so kind and caring and the lodge has such a lovely energy. I want to say thankyou to everyone who helped me get to where I am today, which is the happiest and most grateful place I have ever been. Special thank you to Jamie, Donna, Dennis and Jules.

This place has genuinely saved my life. I came in absolutely broken due to my alcohol addiction, as well as going through some pretty rough bereavements recently. They helped me more than I can explain in a review. They have given me the perfect grounding to start my new life, after care support is brilliant and introducing me to AA has been an absolute godsend. All the staff here are genuinely amazing and it's such a homely, safe space. I'd recommend the Recovery Lodge to anyone struggling. 40 days sober now, which is an absolute miracle, I'm looking forward to updating my review in a few months time.

I can't speak highly enough of this place it has not only saved my life but it has created a whole new way of life for me. I was completely broken and suicidal when I came in and in my mind the lodge was my last hope, it exceeded my expectations in so many ways. Every member of staff there has been a part of my journey and have contributed in making it the best experience of my life. There's so much care and love in this place, I've made so many new friends inside the rehab and in the AA fellowship I just can't believe how much my life has turned around in such a short space of time. I'll never look back now. Massive shout out to Donna and Jamie who have put their heart and souls into creating a fantastic rehab where so many people have turned their lives around. If you want it badly enough and you listen and take on board everything they tell you and then put it into action you cannot fail, it really does work.
Thank you to everyone at the lodge I will be forever grateful .

I can’t say anything better about the recovery lodge apart from it literally saved my life. My wife and friend put me in there after being a alcoholic for 20yrs and on the verge of death, and I honestly didn’t care if I lived or died. I had no hope of life until engaging with the fantastic staff and owners who in 28 days helped me to believe in myself and regain my hope for living. The great thing about the recovery lodge is they start you on the 12 step program and take you to meetings, and because your in a small group you get to spend a lot of time with some great therapists and staff who have experienced what you have been through. I left the lodge with hope, faith, and courage and I will be forever grateful. I have also made some brilliant friendships that will be for life.

If your struggling with addiction and want to change your life I would recommend The Recovery Lodge all day long the whole experience is next level.
I spent 4 weeks here in November 2020 and I've never looked back.
I turned up a complete mess, I was scared and hopeless and my life had fallen to pieces around me. Rehab was last resort and I wasn't convinced it would work.
I couldn't of been more wrong, I left the recovery lodge a new person. My whole outlook changed, I was proud of myself and hopeful about my future.
Most importantly I left with the tools I needed to continue my recovery journey.
It is the staff here that make this place what it is. They are all such genuine, passionate and inspiring people who work hard to help people get well. I can't thank everyone at the recovery lodge enough.
I have an amazing life today and I am very proud to say that today I have over 8 months sobriety. Recovery is possible one day at a time.
Big love for the lodge xx
