Cedar Lodge Garden Rooms LTD
What customers say
On Hayling Island's St Thomas Avenue, Cedar Lodge Garden Rooms has built a reputation among homeowners for bespoke, individually designed buildings rather than off-the-shelf structures. A number of reviews mention Jonathan's enthusiasm and technical knowledge during the design consultation, with the wider family team praised for their precision and attention to detail on site. Clients describe music studios, art studios and garden annexes finished to a high standard, with several noting how the finished room complemented the existing layout of their property. One thing mentioned again and again is the willingness to explain each stage of the project and to keep customers informed of progress throughout, giving confidence to those investing significant sums in a garden structure. Soundproofing expertise for music and drum studios is mentioned specifically, alongside general craftsmanship and meticulous finishing touches. Aftercare also features strongly, with one customer recalling how Jonathan returned promptly to resolve a fault with a set of doors, liaising with the manufacturer and completing the repair himself. Homeowners consistently describe the process as smooth from first enquiry through to completion, with careful thought given to every requirement along the way. The combination of personal service, structural quality and genuine care for the finished product runs through nearly every account of working with this family-run business on Hayling Island.

Due to an issue opening the french doors called Jonathan for assistance, he visited the next day and contacted the manufacturer as it was a manufacturer fault. He said he would be in touch once he heard back from them. To my surprise a couple of days later Jonathan was back with the instructions from the manufacturer and his tools to resolve the jammed door bolt. He completed the repair and checked all other door fixings to ensure working as they should. This family team are so professional and care about the integrity of their craftsmanship absolutely brilliant.
I contacted Jonathan from Cedar Lodge to enquire about building a drum studio at the bottom of my garden. He called me back the same day and spent a long time working out what I wanted and the different options they could offer. The experience and knowledge that they have on building garden rooms and more specifically the various soundproofing methods really impressed me as I had previously dabbled in soundproofing a log cabin at my last property. From day one Jonathan, Alex and Sam (his two sons) were punctual, really hard working, considerate, polite and their attention to detail is incredible. They talked me through the different steps as the build progressed which I found reassuring and genuinely interesting. I couldn’t be happier with the end result! The building is exactly what I wanted and the finish is better than I imagined. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cedar Lodge to anyone looking to build an extra outdoor space, for whatever their needs may be. Excellent job!
Tastefully designed bespoke garden room and sizable patio decking area that can accommodate a bistro set. Jonathan listened to my ideas and transformed these into a remarkably designed and solid garden room. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is superb, with every placement of cedar wood being carefully measured and angled. This family led team takes pride in their 'product'. The team is professional and personable and polite, seeking the highest of standards. It was a delight to host the team in my garden, installing and building a garden room that delivers my brief. Thank you so very much, a delighted client.
Firstly I want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for making a little Ai photo sent to us come to life!! We had our garden office/storage built and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. Jonathan, Alex and Sam were knowledgeable, friendly and incredibly professional. They were always punctual, kept everything tidy, and the pride they take in their work really shows in the final finish. We were updated at every step, making the build stress‑free and genuinely enjoyable. We’re absolutely thrilled with the result. If you’re considering adding extra space to your outside space we can’t recommend Cedar Lodge Garden Rooms highly enough!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Experience from Start to Finish! I’m absolutely delighted with my new Garden POD 365 office. From my first enquiry right through to completion, Jonathan and his team were fantastic—friendly, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile. On the morning of installation, they had unexpected vehicle issues, but their commitment to getting the job done was incredible. They still managed to complete everything in just one day, with great attention to detail and a flawless finish. Jonathan's communication was on point through the whole process from my first enquiry right up to the day of the installation, post installation he has even checked in to ensure that I am enjoying the pod and it's elevating my working from home experience. The quality of the pod is outstanding, and it’s completely transformed how I work from home. I’d highly recommend Garden POD 365 to anyone looking for a high-quality garden office backed by a truly dedicated team!
I recently had a garden office pod installed by Jonathan and his team and couldn’t recommend it enough. From the initial enquiry to completion, Jonathan kept me updated every step of the way. His passion for his craft really shines through, and it’s clear he takes great pride in his work. On installation day, Jonathan and the boys were fantastic, really friendly, professional, and efficient. As promised the entire installation was done in just one day, despite the constant drizzle. The pod itself is perfect for home working. I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious it feels inside. There’s plenty of room to work comfortably and it doesn’t cramped. The quality of the building materials is outstanding, everything feels solid, well built, and finished to a very high standard. The insulation is top spec too, I have no doubt that it will be perfect to keep me warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the pod. I’ll be recommending Jonathan to anyone who asks. Thanks again for a brilliant job!
Excellent service from start to finish. Excellent craftsmanship and quality that has shaped a small garden to a beautiful space. I now have a beautiful garden cabin with a storage area. Highly recommend.
